Race and the Grim Arithmetic: Shelby Foote on the Causes of the Civil War
| |
| | Unformatted Document Text:
that was reunited by struggle can be the subject of literature, and its characters the object
of admiration and in some cases even love. In this sense, perhaps, Foote’s history makes
possible a kind of love of America. But what one learns wisdom about is not the great
drama of justice done by a loving providence who makes meaningful use of a virtuous
people. One sees qualities of virtue and vice, operating in different measure in every
individual, as those individuals find themselves in the grip of a terrible force that no one
is able ultimately either to understand or control.
