Gary Gallagher- The end of the Civil War

Finally got around to watching the video and two things he said, near the end, I thought really stuck out: "history is not always comforting" and "history has sharp edges". Two great thoughts to keep in mind and you study any history to any degree. That it might be uncomfortable to learn that an ancestor was involved in something negative or that we as a nation supported something horrible aren't reasons to run and hide; they are all the more reason to learn more about them.
