Commemoration, Not Celebration

New Bern, NC – Over the years, its been identified by many different names: The War Between the States, War of the Rebellion, War for Southern Independence, even the Second American Revolution. But we know it commonly as the The American Civil War. It began 150 years ago at Fort Sumter South Carolina and changed America forever. South Carolina native and editor of This Week Magazine Lindsay Street reminds us in this commentary that this sesquicentennial commemoration is not celebration.
