Dan and I have been watching on YouTube over the last few weeks a fascinating series of Yale University lectures by Sterling Professor David Blight. He's a brilliant lecturer! He specializes in Civil War History and is considered to be an expert on the life of Frederick Douglass (among his many books is the 2018 Pulitzer Prize winning Frederick Douglass: Prophet of Freedom).
These are a full video series of a course from Yale. The only frustrating thing is that wer aren't allowed to see the overhead projections of maps, photos, etc. because of copyright restrictions.
But Professor Blight is just amazing to listen to! His wry sense of humour peeks through every once in a while, his incredible knowledge and knack for tying the a wide variety of aspects of society together to give a rich tapestry of life in the era as well as giving gifted insights into the topics.
Can't recommend this series enough!
