The Killer Angels tell about the Battle of Gettysburg. When this battle ended, 51,000 men were dead, wounded, or missing. All the characters are based off of real historical figures. The author uses the characters and the plot effectively to contribute to the theme. The soldiers of the Confederacy and the Union tended to diminish each other.

Differences in race exist. To pretend they don’t is a ridiculous notion and does nothing to bridge division and heal wounds caused by years of exclusion. However, the difference lies in acknowledging one’s racial biases, and having the self-awareness to correct it as General Chamberlain did in the passage, “Chamberlain felt an oddness, a crawly hesitation, not wanting to touch him…he felt it again: a flutter of unmistakable revulsion…He had not even known this feeling was there.” (p. 169 The Killer Angels)

There was never a bloodier war on American soil than the Civil War. Those short four years took the lives of thousands of soldiers and destroyed many infrastructures of America. The war, however, was more than a battle between Lincoln and Davis, the North and the South, slavery and freeman. The Civil War was a war of ideals. The accounts told by the soldiers shown that, although the two sides did not agree on most topics, the North and the South did held certain ideals. In The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara, the eyes of James Longstreet and Joshua Chamberlain expresses the battle between the North and the South as an opportunity to show their major contributions, their loyalties to their troops, and their opinions of the war that shaped them.

In the novel "The Killer Angels" by Michael Shaara, the story is told from the perspective of the men that fought in the war of Gettysburg in Pennsylvania on July 1863. We are able to see both sides of the combatants, their struggles they faced, friendships acquired, losses, personal stories and their views. In history we only learn the superficial information of how it occurred in the battle and the outcome of it, but we do not know how it happened and how much effort it took to fight in that war. Sharra enables the reader to feel as if the reader is living the war with her description of each of the characters and actions they did. We are able to know their religious views of each individual. In each they were religious although some more than others. Some had their reasons as to why they were "religious" and some as to why they had lost their faith in God. Some will face challenges that will change their views of religion and some to question if what they believe is correct or what their friend is correct.

In the Battle of Gettysburg that took place on July 1, 1863, and ended on July 3, many casualties and injuries resulted from the fighting between those few days, leading to the victory of the Union Army. As mentioned in the Killer Angels, the hospitals were tents where soldiers were treated for their wounds on the battlefield, in the view of anyone and everyone. Amputations were almost every physician’s immediate response to bullet wounds shattering bones, amongst other types of injuries. Medicine was not as advanced back then as it is now, especially in the battlefield. Often, physicians and other medical professionals did not use proper hygienic techniques, which led to further complications due to bacteria and

Wars have been fought for many different reasons through the years, and that holds true for the American Civil War (1861-1865). In Michael Shaara's Pulitzer Prize winning novel, The Killer Angels, the reasons for fighting the war are brought about through the officers and soldiers at a famous battle site of the Civil War, Gettysburg. Gettysburg was one of the most documented battles of the whole war. It took place over a span of three days and can be viewed as a turning point from Confederate prominence to Confederate demise. As in any conflict, there are two sides to the story. The Union and the Confederacy each had their own views as to why they were fighting the war. Victors write the history so too often only the Union side is

Since the beginning of time we Americans have always fought for what we stand by. The Battle of Gettysburg during the Civil War is just one example; the Union was fighting to end slavery and the Confederacy was fighting to keep it. In order to fight you need people, us Americans had the choice of joining/volunteering or if not enough civilians joined there would be a draft. There will always be a price to pay when going into battle as is shown in The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara, which gives you an insight to the point of views of both sides and the struggles in the military. Robert E. Lee, Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, and John Buford are just a very small portion of the military personnel who suffered the price/hardships.

A group of two hundred “Watcher-class” fallen angels descended to Mount Hermon. These were special angels commissioned by God to watch and observe humans and human activity on Earth. In my opinion, these “fallen angels”, under the direction of Satan, took an oath to take human wives and create human hybrids in order to corrupt the human genome.

Humans occasionally gave into passion and physical sensations such as pain, hunger, thirst, sexual desire- just like other animals lower on the Chain of the Being rather than listening to reason. They also possessed the powers of reproduction unlike the minerals and rocks lowest on the Chain of Being. Humans had a particularly difficult position, balancing the divine and the animalistic parts of their nature. For instance, an angel is only capable of intellectual sin such as pride (as evidenced by Lucifer's fall from heaven in Christian belief). Humans, however, were capable of both intellectual sin and physical sins such as lust and gluttony if they let their animal appetites overrule their divine

"I do not understand Charmeine." Raziel spoke quietly as they watched over humanity. Charmeine is Raziel's commander, but also a good friend: she is the angel of harmony and she can bring peace between any two enemies. "If God pours all his love into these creatures how are they so flawed?" Charmeine turned to look at her and smiled softly, "Humans are very flawed." She pauses for a minute. "But that's what makes them perfect." That was one of the first conversations I had with Charmeine, she helped him understand the beauty of human life and it needs to be protected. That's why she is on Earth to protect
