On Saturday(2/20) morning, I met Abigail at the Starbucks, and we talked about lots of interesting issues. The most interest thing that I remember is about civil war in the U.S. She said many people in the southern region of America still feel that history in them, and they still kind of fight about the war. She explained me about the history. I could know that the North and the South were two different cultures, and the Civil War happened, partly, because they were so different. She said that even today they keep their culture alive, and it’s different than the North. For example, although it’s not so much in young people today, but there is a kind of behavior that Southern groups tend to be polite, and Northerners tend to be busy and outspoken. She said Richmond is in the South, some Southerners say not, though. She said some Southerners still argue about the war, and they believe their culture is best, and many don’t like the Northern traditions. They hate that the North won the war, and after the war, the North did bad things to the South, which was called “Reconstruction.” She explained that they took away the land and made people starve, so Southerners still hate about that. She emphasized that not all of them, but some still do. It was interesting because in Korea, we had Korean War, and as a result, we are still living as a different country. I also told her about our history, and it was a really good time to understand each country’s history. We decided to visit the Civil War center in Richmond later to understand more about America history. I thought that it was really good to share our historical events and understand it. Also, I decided to study more about Korean history to tell out history correctly to foreigners.
