The Civil War

"Any understanding of this nation has to be based and I mean really based, on an understanding of the Civil War. I believed that firmly. It defined us. The Revolution did what it did. Our involvement with the European wars, beginning with the First World War, did what it did. But the Civil War defined us what we are, and it opened to us what we became, good and bad things. And it is very necessary, if you are going to understand the American character in the twentieth century, to learn about this enormous catastrophe of the nineteenth century. It was the crossroads of our being, and it was a hell of a crossroads."

NOTE: I feel it is necessary to disclaim any connection with the Confederate flag to neo-nazis, skin-heads, and any other hate group. The Confederate flag has been adopted by these groups and desecrated by their actions. The Confederate flag is a flag of honor. It serves to honor the brave men who fought for the South in a terrible war. The South denies any hate group the use of this, or any other flag of honor.
