War.

What brought men by the thousands into this bloody conflict? Why did they
leave their families, their homes, the lives they had built, to travel far
away and risk all? Why did men who never owned slaves give their lives for a
slave-holding confederacy?
Why do people still feel so strongly about this war? How did it become
almost mythical? How does it effect our lives today?
