Robert, thank you for this valuable interview. Currently, I am nearing the end of receiving my M.A. in American History, so this insight adds buoyancy in my historiographical research of the Antebellum and Civil War era. Interestingly, I have had this book on my bookshelf for years and have reapproached the articulation of H.W. Crocker now that I have a firmer grasp of both life experience and the historical roots of our country. Currently, I am surveying Dr. Robert Krick's statement of, "By 30 years after the Civil War had ended, by that time, the passage of time, the inroads of memory, the aging process, had that worked on the recollections of Confederate veterans. That passage of time had kind of smoothed away the sectional rancor of the war, and some of the suffering had vanished into the mists," in a lecture he delivered in 2007. The collective memory of the American Civil War is critical to understand the full political and socioeconomic impact as we reflect American history in modern times context. Having said this, I appreciate the time you have invested in this. May I please request a transcript link and proper University of Chicago style citation to use in my historical research?
Hi Christopher, Thank you for the kind words regarding a very sensitive topic in today's world. As for a transcript, that is not something I have available at this time. Would using a link to my shownotes page for this episode work for citation purposes?
@@rvanness @rvanness Hello Robert! Yes, it is proper historical form to cite directly from your RU-vid page interview with historian H.W. Crocker. Just in case others have this same question with footnote reference in Chicago style: Robert Van Ness, "Robert E. Lee on Leadership-H.W. Crocker III Interview," 2023. Available from: www.youtube.com/@rvanness (accessed 7 November 2023).
Hi Robert, would you happen to still be in contact with Prof. Billings from your other video? Am working on an article and I have a couple of Virginia historical legal questions about his books, which I'd love to pick his brain about. I am at "HistoryandHorseplaying" followed by the common location starting with the "g". (I don't want to get censored here). Thanks, and keep up the great work!
I’m looking forward to hearing this as my dad sent me an article by this writer that said one of the dumbest things I have ever heard (no exaggeration, I actually all alone said out loud “no way!” As I read the crazy dumb statement)and I’m always interested to hear idiots with an education speak. Im also prepared if said idiotic statement was a one off-I shall find out
