The Killer Angels

"If it weren't for the slaves, there'd never have been no war, now could there?

"No," Chamberlain said.

"Well then, I don't care how much political fast-talking you hear, that's what it's all about and that's what them fellas died for, and I tell you, Lawrence, I don't understand it at all."

"No," Chamberlain said. No divine spark. Animal meat: the Killer Angels.

Finished re-reading The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara over the weekend about the Battle of Gettysburg. It's become a yearly tradition. If you've never read the book you should give it a try.
