In the "Prisoners of War" chapter, I think Horwitz makes a good point about how we seemed to have forgotten a large part of the war by forgetting about the prisoners of war. Not only is this important to the history of the war itself, but its also symbolic of how we have forgotten some of the dirtiest yet most significant aspects of the war. Do you think if we remembered the horrible parts of the war instead of just the romantic parts, the war would stop being so commemorated? Would that be a good or bad thing? - Angie | In the "Prisoners of War" chapter, I think Horwitz makes a good point about how we seemed to have forgotten a large part of the war by forgetting about the prisoners of war.

| + | In reading Confederates In the Attic and our studying the memory of the Civil War one thing that does not seem to be talked about is how far we come in our social norms. Considering what we have learned about the 1860s, 1880s, 1920s, 1930s, 1950s, and the 1960s why don’t we ever acknowledge how quickly American social norms have changed as compared to other nations and other times in history?

| + | Rose Sander’s class represents a point of view of the Civil War that I don’t know a name for so will call it Anti Lost Cause. Do you think that this point of view of the Civil War will be come that acceptable version of the Civil War someday? Will there every be moderate view of the war that society will hold? Will there always be extreme versions of the memory the war? Logan T | ||
