In reply to John Newhouse: What nonsense (Oct. 10 letter, “No Turning Back”). Have you no idea of why we did fight a civil war? Have you not seen and heard the insults shouted by Donald Trump supporters at his so-called rallies? If you believe the news is biased, do not exclude the news you do believe. For your charges and views are exactly what is fostering your belief as to who is causing an atmosphere for civil conflict.
I remind you it was the South that claimed the Yankees wanted war because of the issue of slavery. It was the South that started the war by firing on Fort Sumter. Those who ignore the past are the ones trying to repeat it. Shame on you for being a divider and not being united.
