  • Fort Pillow and the Crater: The History of the Most Notorious Battles Where the Confederates Massacred Black Soldiers - cover

    As far as skirmishes go, Fort Pillow was a completely unremarkable fight. Before attacking, Forrest demanded the unconditional surrender of the Union garrison, a normal custom of his, and he warned the Union commanding officer that he would not be responsible for his soldiers’ actions if the warning went unheeded. What made Fort Pillow markedly different was that a sizable amount of the Union garrison defending the Fort was comprised of black soldiers, which particularly enraged Confederate soldiers whenever they encountered those they viewed as former slaves in the field. It is still unclear exactly how the fighting unfolded, but what is clear is that an unusually high percentage of Union soldiers were killed, and the Confederates were accused of massacring black soldiers after they had surrendered. Primary sources tell conflicting accounts of what happened at Battle of Fort Pillow, leaving scholars to piece together the battle and determine whether Confederate soldiers purposely shot Union soldiers after they had surrendered. 
    The mine that precipitated the Battle of the Crater during the Siege of Petersburg produced one of the most amazing scenes of the entire Civil War. The force of the explosion created a crater that was nearly 200 feet long, 100 feet wide, and 30 feet deep. Remnants of the crater can still be seen today. But through a mix of bad luck, fog of war, and incompetent leadership, the Union assault that followed the explosion was badly bungled. Instead of capturing Petersburg, the Battle of the Crater was a Union debacle that left more than 4,000 Union soldiers killed, wounded, or captured. The Confederates lost about 1,500, with nearly 300 of them being casualties of the initial explosion. The Battle of the Crater didn’t help the Confederates much in front of Petersburg, but it remains the most memorable and controversial battle of the entire siege.

    25 Shocking Facts About North...

    North Korea remains one of the most secretive and isolated countries in the world, a nation shrouded in mystery and tightly controlled by its ruling regime. With limited access to information and heavy restrictions on communication with the outside world, understanding what life is truly like inside North Korea has long been a challenge. Despite these barriers, researchers, defectors, and investigative journalists have gradually revealed shocking details about the country’s inner workings.  
      
    The foundation of modern North Korea was established in the aftermath of World War II, when the Korean Peninsula was divided into two separate states. The North, under the leadership of Kim Il-sung, adopted a rigid communist ideology and built a powerful authoritarian regime. Over the decades, this system evolved into a personality cult centered around the ruling Kim family, with Kim Jong-il and later Kim Jong-un continuing to hold absolute control. This dynasty has enforced strict obedience through propaganda, fear, and isolation from the global community.  
      
    Every aspect of life in North Korea is closely monitored. Citizens are subjected to relentless surveillance, with state informants reporting on friends, neighbors, and even family members. This climate of fear ensures that few dare to challenge the regime. Education, media, and cultural expression are all carefully controlled to reinforce loyalty to the Kim family. Information from the outside world is heavily restricted, and those caught accessing foreign media face severe punishment.

    There are great deal of similarities between the arcs of Laurie in Little Women and Goethe's "sorrows of young werther." Both stories follow a young man's journey from innocence to experience and disillusionment, but the endings are vastly different. In this book we compare and contrast the two arcs to see which is more tragic. One of Louisa May Alcott´s favourite writers was the German poet Goethe and Laurie´s character arc in Little Women is surprisingly similar to Goethe´s young hero, Werther. Little Women Podcast is an ongoing series of video essays, articles and podcast episodes that examines the intersections in Louisa May Alcott´s Little Women. 
    Hosted by Alcott essayist Niina Niskanen. Regular visits from literal scholars and Little Women fans. You can listen to Little Women Podcast on YouTube, Spotify, I Heart Radio and all other major podcast platforms. 
    Goethe was one of the most praised German authors of his time. Louisa May Alcott was a big fan of Goethe. Louisa was a transcendentalist. The whole worldview of the transcendentalist could be described as a nature-centric form of Christianity. It was based on German philosophy and German romanticism. Goethe was one of the most important literal inspirations for the transcendentalist because he captured the essence of their belief into poetic form. 
    Louisa May Alcott according to her own words, grew up hearing stories of Goethe on her father's knee. Bronson Alcott's library included a contemporary translation of Goethe's biography, and we can assume that it was one of the first books that Louisa read. One of Lou's most famous literal characters, Laurie from Little Women is partially based on Goethe and Goethe's literal heroes.
