Unfurled No More Forever: A Kid's Answer to Racism, Slavery and the American Civil War

Description
In Seattle, the nuns told Mark the Civil War was about slavery.
In Independence, Missouri, his teachers claimed it was about states' rights.
Both couldn't be true -- so which America was lying?
When ten-year-old Mark Edwards moves from the Pacific Northwest to the heart of Missouri in the early 1970s, he steps straight into a cultural whiplash he never saw coming. Adults contradict each other. Textbooks dodge the hardest truths. And a tattered Confederate flag at an eerie gas station sparks a question he can't shake:
Why did Americans really kill Americans?
Determined to find answers no one will give him, Mark devours library books, interrogates grown-ups, and wrestles with dreams so vivid they feel like memories. Through the unfiltered honesty of a child -- untouched by politics, pride, or inherited prejudice -- he begins to see the Civil War not as a chapter in a book, but as a wound the country still hasn't healed.
Unfurled No More Forever is a raw, searching, and deeply human journey into the stories we're taught, the stories we avoid, and the courage it takes to confront the truth for ourselves.
A powerful read for anyone who believes understanding the past is the only way to move forward.
