After Appomattox: Gregory Downs in Conversation with David Blight
When did the Civil War end? Not with Lee’s surrender to Grant in 1865, Gregory P. Downs argues in his gripping new history, After Appomattox: Military Occupation and the Ends of War. Downs, associate professor at the Graduate Center and City College, and David W. Blight, Bancroft and Douglass-award winning historian from Yale, explore themes from the book, as well as lessons that may be applied to today’s ongoing conflicts.
