Carter on Reconstruction, Civil Rights, and George Wallace; Pete Daniel on the New Deal and the Cold War South; Laura F. Edwards on the Early Republic, the Civil War, Reconstruction, and women's history; William W. Freehling on the antebellum South; Gary W. Gallagher on the Civil War; Glenda Elizabeth Gilmore on Jim Crow; James M. McPherson on the Civil War; Theodore Rosengarten on the Depression; J. Mills Thornton III on the antebellum South.
