Talk by Frank Thistlethwaite Fellow of St. John's College Cambridge
Since April 12 the United States has been issuing commemorative stamps, re-enacting military engagements on site, and generally indulging in an orgy of history. But is it anything more than a salute to the grandeur of Lincoln and the gentleness of Lee-a nostalgic evocation of Yank and Johnny Reb ?
Frank Thistlethwaite believes that it is. He thinks it is a symbol of a continuing dichotomy which tends to weaken American leadership.
