[Non-Sequitur]

Yes, I am aware that I spelled Gettysburg wrong.

That wasn't my point. "The Killer Angles" was a work of fiction. A really terrific work of fiction, but fiction nevertheless. The conversation you quoted never existed, so using it as an explanation of why the war was fought doesn't make a lot of sense.
