Too many states alltogether.
Maybe I could start reading about the Civil War?
I was rather taken by what some general (Sherman?) said beore he took his troops into somewhere or other (Carolina? Charlottesburg?)....something about 'the evil started here'. And there was that memoir by Ulysees Grant.
But generally I find it easier to sublimate my sense of horror by reading European history, currently "Hope Against Hope" by Nadezhda Mandelstam which is, as expected, rivetting and profound.
