Shelby Foote

Shelby Foote











I think that Shelby Foote's opinion of the Civil War is that after it was all over and done with it ended up bringing the country together. He said that before the war, when people talked about the United States, they would say the United states are, and after the war they said the United States is. One of the stories that Shelby Foote told about the war was of a boy on guard duty. The boy heard an owl say who and that boy got very scared just because of an owl. He even replied back to it and told it who he was. That shows how scary being in the Civil War must have been. If I was to ask Shelby Foote a question about the Civil War I would probably ask him what he meant when he said that the Civil War defined our country because he said it opened us to being what we became, good and bad. I would like to know what good and bad things that the Civil War opened us up to.
