It's interesting that Du Bois would call for the strong to submit in order for all to advance. I wonder if he only meant that in a racial sense; he was known for being elitist. He believed the advancement of his people lay with its "Talented Tenth." I'm not sure where this speech fits into that message. -GStan. | It's interesting that Du Bois would call for the strong to submit in order for all to advance.

| + | Blight’s chapter on the literature on reunion and its discontents in the beginning (like in every chapter) the fight about what the war was fought over. Most of Blight’s arguments center on this theme and how both sides differed. Later in the chapter he describes literature written about combat and prisons during the war. Blight discusses soldier’s romanticized version of combat and generals arguing their roles in the war. Was all literature on the war centered on these subjects? Was there not literature on the war itself instead of its causes? Were there any debates about battle outcomes, decision made during the war or political actions, like in modern scholarship?
