August 8, 2013 By The League of South
Today on the Golden Circle podcast we explore a little-known event in Southern history that sheds more light on the Golden Circle historical perspective. We take a look at the efforts in the 1850s by a Tennessean and his supporters to create an independent, pro-Southern republic in northwestern Mexico, how he was praised in much of the US media at the time, the failure of his filibuster expedition and how he ultimately went on to conquer Nicaragua. The podcast’s topics include: Updates on Uvalda demonstration & immigrant press attack on the League of the South; William Walker & the Southern filibuster movement; Excerpt from The Southern Dream of a Caribbean Empire 1854-1861; Walker’s conquest of Baja California; The Republic of Sonora.
