Hold onto your hats, folks, because today’s episode of Two Mikes is about to blow your mind! We had the honor of hosting Dr. Alexander Rossino, a history PH.D. holder from Syracuse University and author of the groundbreaking book “Their Maryland: The Army of Northern Virginia from the Potomac Crossing to Sharpsburg in September 1862.”
Rossino’s book isn’t just another dusty tome gathering dust on the shelves of academia. No sir, it’s a riveting exploration of one of the most pivotal moments in American history – the Battle of Antietam. And let me tell you, the revelations he brought to the table will make you question everything you thought you knew about the Civil War.
One of the burning questions Rossino tackles head-on is why General Lee decided to march his army into Maryland. Sure, you might have heard the old story about giving Virginia’s farmers a break to harvest their crops. But the truth, as Rossino uncovers, is far more sinister.
Lee had his sights set on expanding the Confederacy, and he saw Maryland as ripe for the picking. He believed that by extending the hand of the Confederacy to the people of Maryland, he could bolster their ranks and turn the tide of the war in the South’s favor.
But as history would have it, Lee’s grand plans didn’t quite pan out as expected. Despite some of the bloodiest battles in American history, Marylanders proved less eager to join the Confederate cause than Lee had hoped. And after a brutal stand-off, Lee’s army was forced to retreat back across the Potomac to safety in Virginia.
But that’s not the only revelation Rossino brings to light. He also sheds light on why Lee chose to march into western Maryland instead of the eastern shore, where Confederate sympathizers were more prevalent. Turns out, it was all about strategic maneuvering to prevent Union forces from gaining a foothold in Virginia.
Folks, let me tell you, Dr. Alexander Rossino is the real deal. His clear and concise storytelling had us on the edge of our seats from start to finish. It was an absolute pleasure to learn from his expertise, and we can’t wait to dive even deeper into the mysteries of the Civil War.
