One dreams of freedom, the other of a way of life. In the four most bloody and courageous days of our nation's history, two armies fight for two conflicting dreams. Opposing them is an unknown factor: General George Meade, who has taken command of the Army only two days before what will be perhaps the crucial battle of the Civil War. His right hand is General James Longstreet, a brooding man who is loyal to Lee but stubbornly argues against his plan. Lee has made this daring and massive move with 70,000 men in a determined effort to draw out the Union Army of the Potomac and mortally wound it. The Confederate Army of Northern Virginia is invading the North. After 30 years and with three million copies in print, Michael Shaara's Pulitzer Prize-winning Civil War classic, The Killer Angels, remains as vivid and powerful as the day it was originally published. ![]() The stranger matthew ward5/22/2023 ![]() ![]() not from commenters who don't understand the state of the research on the question)Ĭomments other than answers on /r/askphilosophy should be one of the following:įollow-up questions related to the OP's questionįollow-up questions to a particular answerĭiscussion of the accuracy of a particular answer not inaccurate or false)Ĭome only from those with relevant knowledge of the question (i.e. not one-liners or otherwise uninformative)Īccurately portray the state of research and literature (i.e. arguments in philosophy, philosophers' positions, the state of the field (not questions about commenters' opinions) ![]() not extremely broad to the point of unanswerability) Specific enough to reasonably be answered (i.e. not merely tangentially related to philosophy) Questions on /r/askphilosophy should be:ĭistinctly philosophical (i.e. Also check the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy and Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy. ![]() ![]() r/askphilosophy is not a debate or discussion subreddit.Ĭheck our FAQs for a list of frequently asked questions to see if your question has already been answered.
