The Desperate Gamble of Gettysburg

Two years ago, the South decided to go to war. We have come too far with too much at stake and that moment doesn't need even a 14-year-old boy to think this time it will be different. It not only hasn't begun yet, but there is still time for it not to begin against those circumstances which made more men than Garnett and Kemper and Armistead and Wilcox look grave as their southern generals died in the charge. Yet it's going to begin. we all know that.
