“This is a great podcast to learn about factual history about slavery and the civil war from it’s beginnings to its impacts today. Also many recountings of modern and historical black perspectives.”

“historical exaggerations are made to fit a political narrative. Many of the things they discuss did happen, but the impact and theater is dialed up to 11 in these “historical” re-enactments.”

“The power of this podcast to fully grasp the history of slavery and how intentional we as white people have been in developing and nurturing it - in our laws and our narratives - can’t be underestimated. This should be part of every students US History lessons.”

“But you will learn that history from a totally different perspective here. It answers a lot of questions for me about why things are the way they are today. Every day I would listen to anew episode and retell my favorite parts to my family over dinner. I crave more episodes please!”

“At least as much as I love hearing all of these untold stories I love how you present them in all of their complexity and contortedness. So often history as presented is a flattened out version of events as they unfolded, so that when we take it in it only confirms or somehow fine tunes what we...”Read full review »

“I love this podcast. It’s the perfect way to learn history and culture through story telling. Especially, when direct descendants of the subject are also used to tell the story. Can’t wait for more!!!”

“Uncivil is an amazing podcast! I’ve learned so much by listening to it- there are so many people and events that I had never heard of before. The storytelling is fantastic and the production value is incredible.”
“This should be required for everyone including Black folks. So often we grow up knowing we’re not being told the whole truth. Something’s off but we don’t know why. This helps explain it.”

“This podcast is a great resource in learning more history than we were taught in school. Especially the episode entitled “the spin”, because let me just say we were taught incorrectly. Please give this a listen if you want to learn more.”

“Uncivil was one of Gimlet's best podcasts. The storytelling was honest and the history well researched. It set out to illuminate dark, underreported corners of Civil War history and it exceeded it's mission. Well worth coming back to.”Read full review »

Our history and present of racism remains a cancer on our society robbing us of talent to face our challenges and needlessly harming our friends,...”Read full review »
