In three days we will move on to a historic anniversary year, the sesquicentennial of the Civil War. 150 years ago this year, the States that comprised the Confederacy seceded from the Union and eventually attacked Fort Sumner which began the Civil War. Time has a way of softening the rough edges of history and in this case history is not so much written by the victors but being rewritten by the decedents of the defeated.
More Americans died in the Civil War than any other war in our history. Just under two percent of our total population was killed in fighting during the war. 600,000 soldiers died as a direct result of this schism. These are facts that are not disputed, what is being papered over and disputed it why the Confederate States broke away.
