The Confederacy: Life In The South

The Civil War consumed the Confederacy for its entire existence, draining it of supplies, food and people. In this second episode of our confederacy series, Don is joined once again by Aaron Sheehan-Dean.

They explore what everyday life was like for the people of the 11 southern states of the US, and what the Confederate government had in mind for peacetime.

Produced by Sophie Gee. Edited by Aidan Lonergan. Senior Producer was Charlotte Long.
