The Killer Angeles
In the book The Killer Angeles, had great in depth detail about the civil war. And the turning point in the civil warm, Gettysburg. The site which claimed as many American lives as the whole Vietnam war put together. A war site that still is admired today. There were many great leaders in the battle of Gettysburg. One commander in the book that I admired was Joshua Chamberlain. He was a man that cared about his men. And was grateful of the men that severed in his command. He fought on the Union side. Another reason I have a lot of respect for Chamberlain is that he fought with his men during battle. For him to do that made his men fight harder for him. He had a lot of real emotions that his men could respect. He told the truth. He was a brave man that was well educated and had a good heart toward his men that fought with him. George Pickett was a man that I wasn’t particularly found of. He wasn’t a well strategic commander. He was a stubborn man that lead many men to their deaths. He had no battles in the civil war that could put him in the list of top commanders in history. The quote by Louie Amistead and Longstreet is stating how the civil war is a holy war. How ones beliefs go against another’s. How the war has mo . . .
You only hear about the people at Gettysburg in a more dramatic form or more fictional way. The Killer Angeles book is a great read. It was much more in detail then the movie or in Zinn. ” The war was based on a one belief system against another belief system. I think that this book should be required in history 110. Because if the British and English joined the confederates the union army would have lost the war for sure. The role of slavery in this book wasn’t much of an issue. I enjoyed reading about Lee and Chamberlain. They figured that they out numbered the union so they were confident inn there chances. Although the south would say they wouldn’t fight for any blacks. And because the war was about slavery the British and English weren’t going to join the confederates because they were against slavery. The other readings I felt helped me understand the four year conflict in this country.
