Good evening. Im harold, the chair of the lincoln forum. It is time now for our main event. I am proud to welcome back to the forum two of my favorite people, not only as friends, but as colleagues in the civil war field. Gary gallagher and joan waugh. Individually and as a team, they are superlative interpreters of the civil war era who combine military history and social and cultural history and bring to their scholarship and engagement with readers and audiences great knowledge, sophistication, and style. As your packets enumerate, they have individually and together and live into the literature over the years. Gary gallagher is a Professor Emeritus in the history of the American Civil War at the university of virginia and he is former director of the now civil war Sector Center there. You are all familiar with his major works, the confederate war, the union war, lee and his generals in war and memory.

His most recent book, the war for the common soldier how men throught, fought, and survived in civil war armies was published by unc just last year in 2018. And he was a recent recipient of the 2018 civil war book award from the new York Military affairs symposium. Please welcome peter carmichael. [ applause ] thank you. I am not dehydrated.

This book is is about the civil war as you probably know and the first point i want to make is really the main point of the book about the the tremendous financial burden that lincoln and his treasury salmon chase took on to finances war. Ill talk about them later in the talk, but they had what i would call a marriage. It was a very fruitful marriage. Not a very happy marriage, but they got the job done much unlike the south and one of the points of the book. Is that is that by taking on this tremendous challenge when when the United States from the union had no financial mechanisms. No currency. No bank, no taxation system doing everything in the south failed to do was really responsible for winning the war and in many ways for the country that that the United States became and that we
