...with the Uncle Tom's Cabin thing. Whew! The really sorry thing is I was trying to only comment on the argument in the book - not the entire politics of the War and everything surrounding the war, and not take sides. (I think I said that in bold) I really don't have a strong opinion either way. The argument I read was one I hadn't heard before. And I just thought the book turned out a better read - as a story - than it began. Oh well, I guess my communication faltered, again. Sorry about that -
Matt Lee - take a valium and then send me the Slaves Narrative book, porfavorcito.
Remember the Alamo! Viva Peru!

I was only poking fun, for the record. Not next week, but the week after next we are reading "Upon the Altar of the Nation: A Moral History of the Civil War" by Stout for the history class I am taking with Brian. He just finished it and said it colored both sides as pretty immoral (surprise, surprise).
Whether or not we ever enter a war for just reasons, it is safe to say that we never conduct war in just ways, no matter how hard the leaders may try to do so. But we might do well to remember that war is also a means of God's ultimate purposes to crush His enemies and draw His people into greater reliance upon Him. And such a two-fold effect takes place on both sides in the particulars.
I'm not mad at you Heather--not at all! I know you were just commenting on the book; as I wrote, it is just a hot button issue for me.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion--you and me. So, don't worry, I may be passionate in a post or a comment, but I am aiming at the topic, not the writer! Don't worry, I'm not mad at you at all!
I'll find a link to the Narratives and pass it along to you.
Did I mention that I'm not mad at you? :)
