All good
It is satisfying to learn something new every day.
Possibly,
The U.S. Civil War to Baby Boomers that lived through JFK, RFK, MLK, the summer of Love, sex, drugs, rock n roll, The Beatles, 'Nam, Kent State and the Civil Rights Act all collectively feel a hippie connection to things and can be irrational and radical,
...as can't you understand how it FEELS to be them and CARE so much more than any other human to ever live. As such, if one says U.S. Civil War to most of them, they either hide, change the subject, or get agitated and scream IT WAS ALL ABOUT SLAVERY.
& They are correct. Whether they be descended from African Americans, Caucasians, Native Americans, Asians, or Hispanic and on and on. IT WAS ALL ABOUT SLAVERY.
Yet, maybe for more reasons and contributing variables than they've cared to consider,
and that's understandable, as it is heart-wrenching material to work through.
