"North & South went to war because they represented two distinct and irreconcilable
cultures....The North deployed its industrial might and numerical superiority to grind down the South. It was a cultural war
in which Yankees imposed their imperialist and capitalist will on the agrarian South just as the English had done to the Irish
and the Scots- and as America did to the Indians and the Mexicans in name of Manifest Destiny."
-Excerpts from Pulitzer Prize winning book by Tony Horwitz.
