On the  other hand, black people and the horrors of slavery simply
don't exist in  Foote's accounts. That's to be expected, but it's also
something to be  aware of.>>>
I love Barbara Grafton's "The Geranium Farm".  Some of her
writing appears frequently in the DioBeth List.
 
Her discussion reminds me:
 
Was it in the pages of this list some years ago where there was  a
discussion about how we should look upon those who fought for  the
Confederate cause?  I believe the question was whether these  men
should be "remembered", or additionally "honored".
 
As I recall, there was no clear answer, and the opinion was  divided
somewhat on geographic location of those responding, but also  on
their political outlook.
