I’m sure it is documented, but I’m just thinking now if families during the civil war were as divided over politics as people are today.
My Dad loves Trump, I am on the other side. I would not fight in a war, as I would not fight against my family even though we do not agree politically.
Ken Burn’s “The Civil War”, goes over that. Clocks in at about 10 hours, and a fair bit of it is about families, letters, the political heat that lead up to the splintering, and so forth.
Yes. That was a huge part of the civil war. There are volumes written from first hand perspective about families being torn apart over the war. Families meeting on the battle field, on opposite ends.
Not so many books were written at the time about the families torn apart by slavery. But oh, if a family of us white people feels bad about something, that warrants a book.
What we need right now is not a war, but a million John Browns.

That absolutely happened back then.

Yep. Families were absolutely split in half with brothers fighting each other in some cases. The Civil War wasn’t civil at all.
That’s always the problem with civil wars.

Then the sniper turned over the dead body and looked into his brother’s face.
