The book Killer Angels book is about American Civil War. From my point of view I think the cause of the Civil War it really about slavery. The reason it about slavery is because in our lection class we been talking about slavery ever since after the colony war with England.

When The confederacy meet up with the Union army, Longstreet think he and Lee should retrieve, but Lee doesn’t want show any sign of weakness because of his pride.

The book also said that Longstreet and the Union Army general Grant were friend. This will be very hard when 2 best friend are fighting on opposite side for the war.

He is fighting for the confederate army as well. At the beginning Chamberlain thought that the war is State right. As the war goes on, he realize that it not about state right but about slavery. Chamberlain also said “Let him have some rations, try to give him directions. Buster, can you talk to him?” (Shaara, Michael. "Chamberlain." The Killer Angel. New York: Ballantine, 1987. 172. Print.) This line show that Chamberlain is very nice person and he is willing to help a slave man to find a direction where the man wanna go. Chamberlain doesn’t see a black man as a slave because the are also a human like him with just different color of skin. In lection class professor Andrew also said that Chamberlain was shocked to see a slave because he never see a person with a black skin. He think all men should be treated equally and that why his point of view about the war
