Douglas Brinkley Quotes
As Late As 1920, Some 244,000 Civil War Veterans Were Still Living, Several Of Whom Were In Congress, While Union Hero Oliver Wendell Holmes Sat On The U.S. Supreme Court. As D. W. Brogan, An Astute Observer Of National Trends, Would Write: "The Impact Of The Civil War On American Life And American Memory Can Hardly Be Exaggerated. It Is Still 'the War.'" Brogan Expressed This Opinion In 1944 - During World War II. Not Until The Last Union And Confederate Veterans Died Out In The 1940s Would The National Memory Be Truly Rid Of The Civil War.
