南北战争国家纪念馆

宾州的首府Harreisburg离76号高速只有几英里,位于匹茨堡东一百多英里。到美国后这些年不知从那经过了多少次可从来没去过。

Harrisburg 不大,市中心出来一座很像样的州议会大厦外几乎没有什么大的建筑。 因为The National Civil War Museum 离市中心只有10分钟左右的车程,我们这次劳动节路过Harrisburg 虽然只在那里用了一个上午的时间还是选择了去看看这个南北战争纪念馆。纪念馆不大,我们在两个小时里了解了很多有关南北战争的历史知识。

在纪念馆外周围的砖地上镶嵌着刻有各州参战和阵亡人数的石条。

参观纪念馆时知道了决定南北战争胜负的关键一仗就发生在离Harrisburg 几十公里以外的Gettysburg, Gettysburg 战役后, 林肯于1863年11月19号的Gettysburg Address 是他一生里最不朽的演说。林肯在Gettysburg演说中提到的 人有,人治。人享的思想成为美国立国的基石。

林肯Gettrysburg Address:

纪念馆里看到了下面这样的南北战争历史观很让人深思 -- 纪念(每一格)英勇参战的人, 无论你代表哪一方 。。。。。

南部联盟军队的总指挥 General Rober Lee 英勇善战,战败后当了几年校长

参观完南北战争纪念馆,我们去了我们此行的下一站 Gettrysburg,去看看那个决定了战争胜负战役的战场。
