Increasing opium dependencies during & after the war.
Medical advances brought about during the war. Those that we born out of necessity & those that were coming to age before the war, used in the war.
I haven't listened to the "Carolina Campaign Part 1, so I do not know if it is covered yet, but if it has not been, Fort Fisher & the Capture of Wilmington, NC.
Burnside's 1862 North Carolina Campaign with the capture of Fort Macon & New Bern.
Popular Food both in taste or desire & then the necessity during the hard times.
The "Poor Man's War" with comparisons between the economic rifts of the North & South, including the details involved with the Draft.
How the War could have been avoided. What would have to happen to stop the War.
Generals who had the opportunity to redeem themselves & those that shined bright early on only to fade as the War progressed.
The Bennett Place Surrender involving Sherman & Johnston, Breckinridge & Grant.
@theknightirish Thanks for the article. Looking at it now. While reading the abstract, it hit me that the old woman in Cold Mountain gave Inman some laudanum to help ease his pain while he healed from a wound. (Just a side note: After Frazier wrote Cold Mountain, he was forwarded 7 million dollars to write his second Novel: Thirteen Moons. His third, "Varina" is about Jefferson Davis' Wife helping Julia Grant after the war. All three are great books. Thanks again.

These are awesome ideas! Thanks, Michael!
On the opium dependency issue I was reading "The Army Disease: Drug Addiction and the Civil War" today - https://www.jstor.org/stable/26098368

For me it would be:
Fort Wagner and the 54th Massachusetts
Women who fought in the Civil War (disguised as men)
Monitor vs. Merrimack
Mo
