Everything Everywhere Daily - The 13th Amendment (Encore)

The American Civil War wasn’t just a military conflict. There was also a major political and legal struggle that took place alongside the military campaigns. 

In the last months of the war, President Abraham Lincoln knew that if the war was to truly be the end of the conflict, it was necessary to ban slavery once and for all. 

That would require changing the constitution.

Learn more about the 13th Amendment and the battle for its ratification on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Today's episode focuses on two books about legendary journalists, the business of reporting and the state of the industry today.

"Johnny" Apple, and so much more.
