Re: “America: An ongoing struggle between our better, worst angels” (July 4, Opinion):
David Horsey’s cartoon and column were effective. They reminded us of our country’s history of division. I would add one time period omitted by Horsey — that is, the 1960s.
We have not seen today, nor did we see in the ’40s and ’50s, the level of public discontent experienced by our country during those years. I believe the Vietnam War and the racial strife during that time period outdistanced anything this country has experienced today or in other time periods.
