For Three Days The Nation Waited

[Me.]

“In the sultry days of July 1863 all Americans waited anxiously for news of what everyone knew was the monumental engagement of a most terrible war. Arrayed across the hills and fields of the Pennsylvania countryside, the Confederate forces of Robert E. Lee and the northern Army of the Potomac were determining whether this nation, "the last, best hope" of humankind, as Abraham Lincoln called it, was destined to remain whole.”

My hope with Obama is that he will unite this nation and that, as he says, we will no longer be red states and blue states but the United States.
