I do not have iTunes. When I go through RSS it takes me right back here. There is no link to an mp3 file like there used to be, so you have totally prevented many users from accessing the podcasts.

Thanks, Elizabeth, that is fast service! I am able to download and listen now (not quite as convenient as simply clicking play, but workable).. I will also try the RSS reader on my other box to see if I can get it to work more conveniently. Again, thanks for quick turnaround.

That's fixing it for me, too, I simply changed the RSS Feed from http://footnotinghistory.weebly.com/2/feed to http://feeds.feedburner.com/footnotinghistory ...

Slavery was the cause of the Civil War. It is very clear in the ordinances of secession, the Confederate constitution, early speeches by Confederate leaders, and the speeches of the southern commissioners. Its also been shown that a majority of men who volunteered to serve in the Civil War had a fairly strong connection to the institution- whether they were slave owners, family of, or living in close proximity to. In fact, I would argue that slavery was the single most important political issue from 1820 onward and defined every major political decision made by the federal government. While the average southern soldier may not have said they enlisted specifically to defend slavery, every white southerner, rich and poor, had a vested interest in preserving the institution, for social, political, and economic means.
