      A New Birth of Freedom

      It is not possible to know modern-day Americans without an understanding of the American Civil War (1861-65). The War was a turning point in American history. The Union was preserved and the slavery abolished. But at what price? The War exacted a terrible price, the sacrifice of 600,000 lives-2% of the total population. Both sides, the North and the South, lost their sons and fathers when brothers fought against brothers. A civil war is a brothers war. It is the most cruel and tragic kind of war. After the fallen are silenced, it is the survivors turn to suffer with the aftermath of war - shock, agony, misery, and sadness of the living hell. What would be the justification for a civil war? "A New Birth of Freedom," proclaimed Lincoln at Gettysburg. The War Between the States allowed the grand experiment and dream that is the United States of America a chance to continue its course.

      By Park Jung-Ki. From The original intent of this book was to advocate the formation of an energy community in which the problems of energy, ecology, and environment could be managed collectively through a regional cooperation. But energy refuses to be the lone issue. It was impossible to talk about energy separate and independent from the civilization, man, and heaven... We must conserve energy, and we must protect the earth. Survival of our civilization depends on it.
