For 150 years, multiple and widely varied explanations for the meaning of this great American conflict have been published. The confusion over the war's meaning is largely due to the loss of one historical factor-that America was and is a promised land placed under covenant by the Almighty. Best-Selling author Timothy Ballard argues that this lost knowledge is the key to not only unlocking the mysteries of the Civil War, but to restoring and healing America today.
