Killer Angels

As I read about the conversation between Longstreet and Fremantle, I was struck by how much the idea of democracy is foreign to many lands. Fremantle refers to the great experiment in democracy and how it doesn't work it always comes back to class. Fremantle talked about how the way of life in the south was similar to life in Europe and that really the North was the odd ball. It was an interesting perspective to read. I didn't realize how the south appeared to the rest of the world, even as they were trying to gather support from European countries.
