Sherrell, Jean "Up from Collective Amnesia: The Civil War That Was." Summary: Horace White (1834-1916), a party activist who knew and admired Abraham Lincoln in his Illinois campaign days, complained in his introduction to Herndon and WeikÕs biography of Lincoln was-already!-very wide of the mark. He was entirely human [in seeking public honors] but his desire for political preferment was hedged about by a sense of obligation to the truth which nothing could shake. This fidelity to the truth was ingrained and unchangeableÉ[He] never even insinuated an untruth.Ó One can only wonder what Lincoln and White would make of the media-created ÒfakeloreÓ that continues to so dominate and twist popular understanding of the Civil War and the people it involved that the scars have never healed, infected as they are by the twin poisons of hypocrisy and scapegoating. In this issueÕs ÒFrom Editor and PublisherÓ and in this special background piece, The Californians has tried to rescue enough of the real Civil War from collective.
