Fully Insured www.homewatchwhitemountains.com The Littleton Courier, A4 Wednesday, April 15, 2015 Opini1889 ons Editorial Remembering the Civil War Last week marked 150 years since the sur- render of the Army of Northern Virginia, the Confederate States of America’s main fighting force. When U.S. Army General-in-Chief Ul- ysses S. Grant accepted Robert E. Lee’s capit- ulation on April 9, 1865, the nation’s bloodiest struggle was all but over. The thought of American armies bitterly fighting each other across battlefields from New Mexico to Pennsylvania seems so strange to us today. When reading books or diaries from the time period, one could conclude the events were fictional. Surely, the war must have been some Hollywood script, not reality. Sadly, the pictures and words were all too real. More than 600,000 Americans from the North and South died during the four years of conflict. Shelby Foote, a popular historian es- teemed for his definitive three-volume chroni- cle of the war and his anecdotal commentary in Ken Burns’ acclaimed documentary “The Civil War,” once said civil wars are the most brutal of conflicts. The worst fist fights, Foote declared in his wonderful Southern drawl, are often those between brothers. As people continue to study the war, many also debate the causes for the conflict.
