Danny Glover's "Civil War Journal" vs. Ken Burns "Civil War"

[Mike Bell]

Thanks Jeff, what an amazing find...had no idea of those changes made in 1861 federal oaths. It makes sense though in all kinds of ways. So, to you, Bill, Chili, Bargunner, Judy and all the folks on here would it then be correct to state that Generals Lee and his fellows who did so, were in fact ABIDING BY THE LETTER AND SPIRIT OF THE OATH THEY TOOK, when they were thinking through the consequences and options as war drums were beating in 1860-61? In other words, they were NOT disloyal to their country, to their oath, to their states nor to their own honor? Had they taken the revised oath(s) Jeff found, then they would have been in violation, but were not because they did not? Am I thinking straight? Surely not, but is it humanly possible that we are the only ones who have ever come to this realization? Lets tell EVERYBODY! Now, this IS something that a civil war video series ought to have been telling people.
