LOOK AWAY: A STORY OF WHAT WAS AND WHAT REMAINS - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

AMERICAN CIVIL WAR, SAD LEGACY, ISSUES, AFTERMATH, Non- Fiction, History- Most Americans, at least those born here before 1960, know the history of our Civil War but, what is generally not known- is why; why really the soldiers on both sides fought and died. To free the poor slaves? Not hardly. Over the four years of bloody conflict some 690,000 young men from both sides lost their lives with two million or more horribly wounded, many maimed for life. That's an average of 14,375 dead young men every month and 479 a day. What were they so angry about that they were ready to give their lives for the cause- what cause? The popular myth is that it was all about abolishing slavery, but, as we show, that had little to do with the war.
