Finished BCOF!!!
I finally finished!!! The last 100 pages or so were really hard for me to read, mainly because I was tired of reading about all the killing etc. I was however very impressed with the way the two leaders from both sides showed respect to each other. On page 850 it stated, "These enemies in many a bloody battle ended the war not with shame on one side and exultation on the other side, but with a soldier's mutual salutation and farewell." Wouldn't it be great if all people had the respect for each other as these to great leaders demonstrated?

Hi Sharon, We just completed the ending of the Civil War in our class. We worked your very thoughts into a discussion on modern politics and compared it to The Civil War! We noted the surrender of Lee and the interaction with Grant. I agree with you. It was most impressive and is surely a powerful reflection on these men.
