She writes that the rate of death during the Civil War and its incidence in comparison with the size of the American population was "six times that of World War II". She writes, "For those Americans who lived in and through the Civil War, the texture of the experiencewas the presence of death. At war's end this shared suffering would override persisting differences about the meanings of race, citizenship, and nationhood to establish sacrifice and its memorialization as the ground on which North and South would ultimately reunite."
