Be interested in your take after you read them.

The South had the Glamour. Look at "Gone with the Wind." Nothing like this on the North. It was all venal Businessmen as far as the writers were concerned.

I see the war itself as the inevitable triumph of the North by attrition. Nothing new there, I don't think.

One thing that is coming out more now is the Idealism of the North, among the men who fought, about ending slavery.
