Join Stephen A. Goldman, M.D., as he explores the vital role of Maryland’s white Union servicemen in adopting the new state constitution that abolished slavery in 1864.

The border state of Maryland epitomized the contradictions of slavery, African American freedom, and the Civil War’s harsh "brother against brother" reality. By 1864, the Free State had reached a crossroads that the entire nation was confronting—a Civil War that had turned savage, whether Abraham Lincoln would be reelected, and what would be the fate of four million human beings held in bondage.

Join psychiatrist and author Dr. Stephen A. Goldman as he explores how the soldiers' and sailors' vote in Maryland would greatly determine the state's future and why their overwhelming support for slavery's abolition exemplified how the war radicalized so many white servicemen throughout the Union.

Biography

Goldman, M.D., who has decades of experience in patient care, academia, public health, and medical product safety, wrote the ground-breaking One More War to Fight: Union Veterans’ Battle for Equality through Reconstruction, Jim Crow, and the Lost Cause. The only physician to serve on the Abraham Lincoln Institute Board of Directors, Goldman's thought-provoking findings have been welcomed on television, radio, podcasts, and in other venues for many years.
