Sri Lanka: Daily News Editor doesnt know the difference between War of Independence (1775- 83) and Civil War (1861-64) in America
Editor puts his leg in the mouth
” The Editor of the Daily News seems to be all mixed up about the American War of Independence which took place from 1775-1783 and the American Civil War which took place a century later in 1861-64, between the United States and 11 Southern states that seceded from the Union. The Declaration of Independence is celebrated on July 4, but not the end of the Civil War which took place between the North and the South where over 600,000 people were killed. ”
