The American History Podcast, Season 2, Episode 32, the conclusion of the war.

Welcome to the American History podcast.

Hosted by Sean Worswick.

Hello and welcome back. We're at the final episode of season two.

Boy, was it a long haul. It's been 18, 19 months, just over 30 episodes to get here, but we made it. As always, before we get started, please head over to the website and sign up for the email list.

You can also check out the sources, and while you're there, sign up for our Patreon for as little as $2 a month.

You can help support the show, keep the lights on, so to speak, all that good stuff.

You can also help to offset the considerable costs of purchasing books for season three, which, by the way, is in production.

If you just aren't into Patreon, you can simply enter Amazon through the Amazon ad at the bottom of the podcast homepage.

You don't have to buy what it suggests, but feel free to purchase anything you'd like. Doing that causes

Uncle Jeff Bezos to send us a few pennies every time that's done, and it does add up. So thank

you very much in advance. Now if you're into the whole social media thing, you can find me on Twitter at AmericanHISCast.

And finally, please send me some email, some questions.

If you have comments, concerns, complaints, especially if you have complaints, send me an email.

The email is shone at the American History Podcast.com.
