Life Unraveled #99 with Dr. Eric Totten

Dr. Totten is an assistant history professor at the University of Arkansas and an expert on the American Civil Wa and is back on the show for a deep dive on higher education, as well as the war in Ukraine.   Dr. Totten completed his Ph.D. in History at the University of Arkansas in 2020. His current project, “A Suspected Democratic Regiment: The Fourth New Hampshire Volunteers in the American Civil War,” examines the relationship between northern communities on the home front and their volunteer units on the battlefront during the conflict. His work highlights the resistance from some army units towards emancipation as a war aim which subsequently strained the civil-military relationship during the Civil War.   Listen to Dr. Totten's previous appearance on the show: Video: https://youtu.be/43MeQ6owcl0 Audio: https://www.podbean.com/ew/pb-3iguk-f1bc9d   https://fulbright.uark.edu/departments/history/directory/index/uid/eptotten/name/Eric+P.+Totten/
