My paternal gr-gr-grandfather was one of the garrison that surrendered at Vicksburg in July 1863. That’s when the war ended for him. He never returned to fight. His brother’s service ended December 1862 in a Richmond hospital, dying of pneumonia. I often wonder if his poor parents ever knew what happened to him, besides the fact he never returned home. I have several hundred relatives that fought in the Civil War in my genealogy program from 25 years of research.
He probably died at what is now 210 hospital st in Richmond which should be a museum and landmark as far as I’m concerned however, unfortunately, it’s now in the middle of the ghetto and the worst neighborhood in the city. It’s currently a low income housing complex for older people and is infested with crime crackheads and prostitution. So sad.
This "seminar discussion" format is awful . It's somewhat hard to hear people in the audience; they really aren't authorities on the subject anyway, and the whole thing becomes a bit disjointed. This would have been far more interesting and coherent if the speaker had just talked about the collapse of the Confederacy and then taken questions at the end. A tried and true method but still probably the best one.
This is so interesting and well done! Thank you for excellent content and knowledge!
Coski is so very knowledgeable. He is a talking history book!
My great great grandfather was paroled in Greensboro and had to make his way back to Obion, Tn.

My Great grandfather was 4th MS.. at Vicksburg also....
BS ... Every one has a family member who rode a tank and held a general rank... Your BS gets old and is simple minded at best.
Thanks so much
Would love to know the things that were thrown away. Listen @ 2:35 for a few seconds.
A Confoderat navy ship was the last fighter bigger unit in the Pacific.
Speaker was AOK and knew his subject matter.
I kind of figured that the war ended when President Davis was captured.
It’s a good question, ask 10 people and you’ll get 10 different answers.
I don’t like the way he turns his presentation over to the crowd to talk.
💯✅
The civil war didn’t end, it petered out.

Yes, silly "Socratic" method, waste of time.
Many would agree with you.
I’m not sure that it ever did.
First answer was stupid. That person who said that is stupid or just wants attention ...
This guy has guns.
