    Yes. That was a huge part of the civil war. There are volumes written from first hand perspective about families being torn apart over the war. Families meeting on the battle field, on opposite ends.

    That absolutely happened back then.

      Not so many books were written at the time about the families torn apart by slavery. But oh, if a family of us white people feels bad about something, that warrants a book.

      What we need right now is not a war, but a million John Browns.
