The American Civil War

Throughout his life, Walt Chantry has harbored a love of history.  An avid reader and advocate for the intrinsic value of reading, research has always been second nature to him.  In particular, Walt enjoys studying the American Civil War. Diving deep to uncover the hidden stories of the Confederate Generals, this amateur historian aims to accurately preserve American history.  In recent years, the preservation of history has become tarnished due to public outcry regarding Confederate Generals.
