George Will once wrote a column on war and censorship. He noted that
during the U.S. Civil War there was one particularly gruesome
battle -- I think it was Antietam -- in which the carnage was
particularly horrible. He suggested that if there was television at
that time and color photography and that it was broadcast into
people's homes the way the Vietnam War was, that there would have
been such a hue and cry in the North over the folly of war that an
antiwar movement would have started up and succeeded and, today,
there would be two United States: a northern one and a southern
one...WITH slavery intact.
