Description
* Many books have been written about our tragic American Civil War of 1861-1865. This book opens your view to many touching & unknown events of this terrible page of American history. The author has made a diligent search of these facts & portrays an entirely new view of this war & its causes. * With this new perspective, he has a striking analogy to our present day, while he attacks the word "defense," & how that concept caused the South to lose the war that was known to them as "The War of Northern Aggression." He presents the question, "If the South's firing upon the U.S. flag was wrong, why was it right for us to fire upon the British flag to whom we belonged at the time?" He speaks not of right & wrong, but of military logistics. * Carrying this further, the author shows how the South could have won the Civil War during the first hundred days by taking Washington while there was no large army to defend it, but they used the word "defense." * The General shows that the conflict started with the clash at the 1787 Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia. The war was about A DIFFERENT WAY OF LIFE experienced for one hundred years before that time, & was not made a "religious war" until turn of events rallied the Northern troops to a confrontation that eventually cost 650,000 to lose their lives. * The author speculates on the contribution these men could have made in the field of invention, literature, philosophy, science & vital leadership -- had they not died on the battlefield or from sickness caused by the war. * General Andress compares the Civil War with Vietnam.
