The Killer Angels review

What an interesting way to write historical fiction. It was fascinating to try to get inside the heads of these people and how it affected them. The book gave me an interesting insight into the thinking of Lee and the soldiers fighting for the south. The idea that these people who are my ancestors were fighting not so much for slavery but for their homes. Much of the war was fought out of ignorance. Most people had no understanding of what was going on in politics or in regards to slavery. My extended family would explain to me that "we" fought for our right to govern ourselves. The war was still about slavery, and I couldn't agree with my family, but this book shares there insight.
