And by the end of the summer of 2010, it was was clear the also academic violations that were included in this initial investigation. I would say it really wasnt until the summer of 2011 that the scope of the ugliness really came to light. It reared its head. We began to
now as they turn on their cameras and unmute. and the way i wanted to start this off is actually to have each of our panelists introduce themselves to you, rather than have me read along introduction for each person. and i want to have them talk about how they became interested in the american civil war, where they teach, what sort of classes they teach and how they think about teaching a lincoln and the civil war. we have jack davies coming in here and will have jackal first and then will have kerry go second and then tamika and then craig and then i will bring up the rear. so let s see, jack, if you can unmute yourself and turn on your camera. go right ahead. i was born in independence, missouri which is pretty much on the fringes of the civilization, prior to the civil war and of course it s the center of what was a very different sort of war. as a result of which, my grandparents, it was still a fairly lively topic of my conversation. my grandmother s grandfather and
