EP. 155 — What Happened to the Racist F*ing Ahole Dick Officials of the Confederacy After the End of the American Civil War? with Professor Robert Icenhauer-Ramirez

Lawyer, historian, and author Robert Icenhauer-Ramirez sits down with Jonathan to discuss the Civil War and its aftermath, including what happened to confederate officials, the process of abolishing slavery, Lincoln’s presidency, and much more.

Professor Icenhauer-Ramirez’s book “Treason on Trial: United States v. Jefferson Davis” exposes the legality behind why no one was held accountable for starting the Civil War.
