The Cities of War: Charleston (with Walt Young)

To escape from slavery in Charleston, South Carolina, all Robert Smalls had to do was smuggle his family onto a boat, steal it from Confederate officers, sneak past the harbor defenses, slip beneath the guns of Fort Sumter, and aim for the safety of the Federal blockade. Historian Walt Young joins the Emerging Civil War Podcast to share the story.
