The Civil War and Reconstruction was a pivotal era in American history.

When a war was fought to save the Union and to free the slaves.

And when the work to rebuild the nation after that war was over turned into a struggle to guarantee liberty and justice for all Americans.

And I'm Rich.

Look for The Civil War and Reconstruction wherever you find your podcasts.

We were doing our best 80s hip hop impressions, I would say.

These guys always try to throw me off.

Nobody's as good as me.

No, it's really fun.

So keep it under five minutes.

No, I will not do that.

No.

So yesterday, my kid, my kid's in third grade and he had a animal report at school.

And so my wife and I went and and listened to his presentation about parrots and learned a lot of things.

It was really fun.

in the process, you know, we're sitting there, the parents in the back of the room and they stack up a bunch of kids.

And so like, I think five kids presented different animals.

And when you're hearing, uh, you know, eight and nine year olds talk about, and like usually exotic animals are like the, the red eyed tree frogs and like the King cobras.

Um,

it's always going to be funny because they know only exactly what they learned for the report.
