Prologue |
| On the twelfth of April, 1861, Confederate guns opened fire on Fort |
| Sumter in Charleston Harbor, thus beginning the bloodiest conflict in |
| American History--620, 000 dead---more than all other American wars |
| combined. |
| The Civil War remains this nation’s single most defining experience, |
| ultimately giving new meaning to the word Freedom. |
| Walt Whitman, a young newspaperman destined to become America’s |
| greatest poet wrote: «Future years will never know the seething hell |
| and the black infernal background of this war -- and it is best they |
| should not -- the real war will never get in the books.» |
