You're right - a dark time in history - one of them. I find it hard to revisit the "facts" in my mind - shameful. Not much has changed - no more physical civil wars but a lot of verbal wars. I can hear the call to war slowly brewing in our first world countries.

I'm not anti-war but I'm not pro-war either....I just hate, hate.
That said, I will most likely watch the movie. I'm drawn to these times as well.

Did you ever see Amazing Grace? I thought they presented a fair amount of information and kept the focus on the politics of the time.

You did a great job with this review btw.
