"If the Civil War is more alive to the Southerner than the Northerner it is because all of the past is, and this is so because the Southerner has a sense of having been present there himself in the person of one or more of his ancestors. The war merely filled one chapter in his...[family history]...transmitted orally from father to son [as] the proverbs, prophecies, legends, laws, traditions-of-origin and tales-of-wanderings of his own tribe...It is this feeling of identity with the dead (who are past) which characterizes and explains the Southerner....Confederate Great-Grandfather...is not remembered for his (probably undistinguished) part in the Battle of Bull Run; rather Bull Run is remembered because Great-Grandfather was there. For the Southerner the Civil War is in the family..."
