   I have read numerous books and watched several movies and biographicals on the AmericanCivil War, and it amazes me that our great Country stayed intact after the war was over.
   I would say that it was a miracle that the North won this war, except for the fact that the North had too much money and supplies to lose, but the generals that led the Army of the North blundered so often, that the Union almost lost it more times than often.
   The savior of the Union was President Abraham Lincoln. His dogged determination and persistence finally payed off when he promoted General U.S. Grant to lead the Army of the North to victory at the great loss of many Union soldiers. If Mr. Lincoln was not assasinated, the South would have not have gone through the damnation of the corrupt administration that proceeded Lincoln. The problems that we have encountered since emancipation till now, would have been resolved in a better way for all involved, and the hate that carried on after the war would have not been, if not for one bullet and the fanatical coward that put that bullet into the head of the kind and intelligent President.
   The surgeons on both sides of the war performed miracles in the battlefield MASH units, and the medical equipment that were used where new inovations of the time, and some still stand as standard surgical tools today.
   Both sides of the war had valid reasons to fight, and the determination of the South and its cause, is admirable.
   Of course the movies made of the Civil War glorified it, athough it was nothing short of hell on earth fo both armies.
   Our Country fought this civil war for 5 years at the same time there was another civil war going on in China, which lasted over 13 years and at a loss of millions upon millions of men.
   As Henry Ford once said “History Is Bunk”, it was taken out of context but his meaning was that history is not about the generals or the politicians, it was about the soldiers and minions that lived history.
   Many things that our Country was in the 20th Century came out of the Civial War. It changed the way war is fought on the oceans, with the inventions of the Iron Clads, it created the modern EMS system that is used to save lives as first responders and it changed so many things in war and peace that are too numerous to mention.
   Men like Joshua Chamberlain showed heroics way beyond the call of duty, and also cared for his men as though they were his brothers, which one was.
   Unfortunately, I do believe that the great experiment of Democracy will fall by the wayside, and before the 21st Century arrives, Our Country will no longer be the leader of the world. China will be the world leader and we only have ourselves to blame, since we voted for greedy men that sold their souls to the highest bidder, and it is sad to see what is going on right now in our Country, after so many brave men gave their lives in so many wars since the Civil War.
   God Bless America
