The American Civil War, 1861–1865, with roots reaching back to the 1848 Young Ireland rebellion and an epilogue reaching forward into the post-war Indian Wars (1860s–1880s).

With Dr. Damian Shiels — founder of Irish in the American Civil War (2010), co-host of the Transatlantic podcast, and author of The Irish in the American Civil War (2014), The Forgotten Irish (2017), and Green and Blue: Irish Americans in the Union Military, 1861–1865 (LSU Press). He holds a Ph.D. in history from Northumbria University, where his research recovered the voices of Irish American soldiers through their own correspondence.

Historian Damian Shiels reads the letters Irish soldiers sent home from the Civil War's bloodiest battlefields.

"I'm tired of the fighting and the killing of men, but I suppose we have to continue because that's what we need to do."

— Barney Carr, Irish soldier, in his last letter home from Kennesaw Mountain, June 1864
