But what do i get . Induce a sense of the supreme so sacrifice in a very precarious position. We really could have won in 22 countries that that momentum was more than blind devotion it was adjusted quest for heroism or mythology but there was a belief it was complected some thought they were fighting for the union some thought they were fighting to free of the slaves some thought both but there was that kind current belief that it was different from many different perspectives it was this supreme selflessness for a cause greater than themselves that really struck me in almost all the research i did host the book is imperfect union.

A question about the supplemental the schofield supplement to the surrender terms. How were they received in washington and were they successfully carried out . What i think happened is when they reached washington about a week later, they saw it as an accomplished fact. The most controversial provision would have been letting 1 in 7 confederates keep their weapons. I think they felt that would not be too harmful. I would say that and i did not go into this because i did not have time there was a great deal of furor up north about the terms because secretary stanton had sent his reasons for his approving them to the newark times to the New York Times where they become public knowledge. Sherman was furious and he found out. Amid all of that, the supplemental terms slipped through without much notice. We do know they were approved. Time for another question if anyone has one. Thank you. Thank you. Appreciate it most of [applause] we do have two of marx books marks books here. So grab mar
