ECW Podcast: The GOP and Civil War Memory (with Tim Galsworthy)

Tim Galsworthy joins the Emerging Civil War Podcast to explain how the modern GOP became “the Party of Lincoln” AND “the Party of Lee.”

An excellent discussion. It addressed a question that has bothered me for years. Why and when did the Republican and Democrat parties essentially flip their positions on states rights, civil rights, and civil war memory of the civil war leaders. Galsworthy was able to explain, effectively a logical progression and reasons for it.
