Dedicated to my parents and the author Pen Stroke.
My parents are the ones who helped me along with my literature.
Without their encouragement, I don't think I would be the advent reader and writer I am today.
To the author Pen Stroke, I thank.
Though I do not know you personally, your story, Past Sins, inspired me to write these chronicles of this length and professionalism.
So again, I thank you.

If we don't end war, war will end us.
-H. G. Wells
Civil War. It is one of the worst things that can happen to a country. Yes, there are other, possibly even worse things that can happen but none really can compare to a civil war. Disease might kill, invaders might conquer but things eventually go back to what we define as 'normal'.
Civil war though, it leaves it's mark for generations and generations to come. Families are torn and pitted against each other. Brothers kill brothers, father's kill sons, parents kill each other etc. The possibilities are endless but I will not name them all, they are all too horrible and painful to name.
Most who are apart of a civil war come back anything but themselves and sadly enough, a lot don't return at all. Thankfully, I was not apart of his civil war but I was forced to watch it from the sidelines. I was forced to watch those who would otherwise love each other to death, kill each other in cold vengeance.
I am determined to not let something of that magnitude hit this land ever again. So I am writing an account of those events so later generations can learn from their elders mistakes. And maybe, just maybe, it will help those who were apart of it and are still alive ponder on what have done.
