In this episode, Bella Coyne and Eric Jacobson examine a familiar question in public history: why do younger people seem disengaged from the Civil War? They consider the roles of changing education, cultural shifts, historical distance, and modern priorities, while also challenging this assumption, arguing that many young people aren’t uninterested at all, but instead engage with history in different and often deeper ways than previous generations.
