A Christian Man Who Understands the Civil War

Scott Hancock is a history professor at Gettysburg College. He is also a serious disciple of Jesus Christ.

Hancock regularly goes to the Gettysburg battlefield to talk with visitors, hoping to educate them about the roots of the Civil War and the southern states’ investment in defending slavery.

It is amazing to me how often his critics repeat the Confederate propaganda created by the United Daughters of the Confederacy catechism for southern children. (Check out my post on the UDC here).
