Tony Horwitz’s Confederates in the Attic, History, and Reconciliation

Tony Horwitz has been fascinated by ally allies in the attic, history, and reconciliation even after the civil war. In some circles, "Northern invasion war" or "cause of loss" is considered, discussed and given life every day. There are fans in all wars, but the civil war has special differences from America. This is a war in some class protection alliance, intense satire depreciation of a legitimate rebellion against others. I have never been particularly interested in war or war.

Howitz is the author of the bestselling book "The Loft Alliance" and combines history and travel well to introduce interesting insightful explanations about past American expeditions. The trip was inspired by the amazing discovery of Horwitz and his history degree came from a famous American college, but he did not know very little about the first Europeans who arrived in the USA - In other words, what happened between Columbus and Columbus was "terrible". It happened by chance that he began his Odyssey in the birthplace of "myth" in Plymouth, USA. I found a cold temperature and a barren landscape, not a trace of that point (In a gathering of regretful buffing, Horwitz asked the man about the Viking in the parked car: "There is no Viking here I found more places in this place. "

Like the travel writer Bill Bryson, Horwitz encounters colorful characters and likes to fall into a strange situation oneself. At the moment reminiscent of "Allies in Atti" (Horwitz's book on the recurrence of the civil war), he traveled with a group of Florida conquistadors and furthermore when he said, "Like their tin, their heavy Spain I was wearing the armor of the people. "People are ashamed and squeaky. In St. Augustine, Florida, founded in 1565, Horvitz, the oldest European permanent settlement in Europe, lamented the long history of the city "Disney". The mixed heritage of Spain was sterilized and turned into Horwitz. Tourists - Please consider a friendly hawker. (Thinking of the brutality of many Spanish conquistadors, a sullenly employee of sightseeing in St. Augustine told Horwitz "Celebrating them is like worshiping Charles Manson."
