The Late Unpleasantness: Memory, Meaning and Understanding
The War Between the States is called by many names, the most genteel being “The Late Unpleasantness.” The low country districts of South Carolina, including the environs of Charleston, is the geographic origin of this title for America’s most bloody and divisive conflict. There is a deeper significance to the term than a polite and refined attempt to soften an episode of deep human suffering and loss. The phrase contains within it a suggestion that the War and its suffering will pass, and that civilization will survive. In my part of the country, the border South, the term “The War Between the States” is favored, less cultivated perhaps, but historically accurate. Others favor the “War of Northern Aggression” or the inaccurate “Civil War” or in other times “The Great Rebellion.” The reluctance of Americans to come to a common agreement on what to call the great conflict of the 1860s is deeply significant. It means that we Americans have no common memory, common meaning, or common understanding of the War. The war remains a point of conflict and division. (Excellent)
