Hello Jim: Glad you could join in... uhm... Now that I have a little bit more incite (just a little) I can safely say it is still too early for me to make comment - grin. But I will. > From the Northern perspective, the South was > rebelling. At this precise moment in time, my mind wonders about the book I haven't finished "Gandhi & Churchill: The Epic Rivalry that Destroyed an Empire and Forged Our Age". Were Southerners indiscreetly showing Ghandi idealism to Lincoln's abrupt ways of governing? Just one thought. > From the Southern > perspective, the North was the aggressor. Now this part of your statement kind of cancels out my statement about the South - doesn't it? Time for more research. Too early to make good any kind of judgement.
