2. It's a foiled loss

I look at a “win” as something that moves us all forward in the right direction.

One of the things I missed in Ken Burns’ The Civil War the first time, was the poignancy of the periodic “updates on what’s happening in the rest of the world” while the US was preoccupied with having to put down a rebellion of shitheads.
