Unraveling the war that tore America apart — and still shapes us today.
Blood and Union is a deep-dive history podcast exploring the American Civil War in all its complexity. Across multiple seasons, we uncover the causes, battles, leaders, and legacies of the conflict that defined a nation. From the compromises of the Founding Fathers to the fields of Gettysburg, from the heroism of the 54th Massachusetts to the failures of Reconstruction, we bring you the real stories — detailed, dramatic, and unflinching.
Told in a conversational style with expert insights, Blood and Union combines narrative storytelling, myth-busting, and battle breakdowns to reveal how the war between brothers still echoes through America today.
