Více o knize
It is not possible to know modern-day Americans without an understanding of the American Civil War (1861-65). The War was a turning point in American history. The Union was preserved and the slavery abolished. But at what price? The War exacted a terrible price, the sacrifice of 600,000 lives-2% of the total population. Both sides, the North and the South, lost their sons and fathers when brothers fought against brothers. A civil war is a brothers war. It is the most cruel and tragic kind of war. After the fallen are silenced, it is the survivors turn to suffer with the aftermath of war - shock, agony, misery, and sadness of the living hell. What would be the justification for a civil war? "A New Birth of Freedom," proclaimed Lincoln at Gettysburg. The War Between the States allowed the grand experiment and dream that is the United States of America a chance to continue its course.
