The Code of the Warrior: Honor and Respect at Appomattox

with Retired U.S. Army Brigadier General Gerry Galloway

Galloway explores how in showing respect for the sacrifices of the vanquished at the Confederate surrender, Union leaders reduced the potential for conflict after the Civil War.

Galloway reflects on the bonds of professionalism that exist among combatants and how actions impact post-war healing.
