I don't read much Civil War fiction because most people haven't read the Confederate Constitution. They believe the conflict is a states' rights issue. If that is true, why is the Confederate Country word for word the same as the US Constitution with about 20 references to humans as property?
They waited until page 66 to mention why the war was being fought. I will wait to decide if that is good or bad.

This book is not what I thought it would be. I was expecting some kind of accounting of the entire Civil War. Turns out is simply a recounting of the Battle of Gettysburg, so it shouldn't have nearly as much social or political commentary as I expected/feared. I must say, the maps are helpful. Be prepared to return to seventh grade geography.
