By Richard M. Langworth
Churchill’s is largely a military account, with sentiments that that surprise some. “We march with Lee and Jackson, with Stuart, with Longstreet, and with Early through autumn woodlands…. Virginia, the proud Founder State…trampled upon, disinherited, impoverished, riven asunder….” Yet Churchill is not pro-Confederacy. His instincts were always with liberty.

There is no glory in war and no victory in retribution. Each of these leaders could look beyond war to Churchill’s “broad sunlit uplands.” Washington warned against aggravating the Patriot-Loyalist divide lest it destabilize the new nation. Abraham Lincoln took that precept to sublime heights in 1865: “With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation's wounds.”

But words spoken two or three thousand years ago remain with us now, not as mere relics of the past, but, leaping across the gulf of ages they light the world for us today. In this article, Lewis E. Lehrman explains how Churchill and Lincoln were both students of history and were both determined to act historically.

“I will take away from Uncancelled History what the Hillsdale College historian Bill McClay said about Theodore Roosevelt, about some of these other historical figures who’ve been torn down, lambasted and attacked: History is like a great attic of belongings and inheritances. And if you chuck everything out of that attic—if you clear the whole thing—you might clear away things we may need some day.”

Why invent a quote? Perhaps in the hope that “the specter of Winston will pause to embrace the willful quoter and smoke a cigar with him.”

By PAUL K. ALKON and THE CHURCHILL PROJECT
Experience gave Churchill both a horror of war and the ability to imagine alternate scenarios. In what he called “the after-light,” it is shocking to realize that the worst possible outcome he imagined after the First World War came to be, just two decades later. Contemplating the causes of the war, Churchill with his historic imagination conjured up a scenario which might have prevented it—in 1863. Suppose, he asks us, Lee had won?
