Don\u27t Fall for the Lies Behind Trump\u27s Calls for Unity

Abstract

Each summer, more than half a million tourists come to Gettysburg, a battlefield in the most divisive conflict in American history. After marching around in the heat, thousands stop in at Mr. G’s for some of the best ice cream in town.

Most commemorate battle; this one commemorates unity. It encourages a “focus on unity and peace.” (excerpt
