USA - New York - George Bush t-shirt speech at Gettysburg

During a journey into America's hinterlands, days after the September 11th attacks in New York and Washington DC, we see visitors watching a re-enactment of a Civil War skirmish at the Gettysburg National Military Park. As a group of Confederate troopers parade on the battlefield, we see printed on a woman tourist's back, the quoted words spoken by President George W Bush on 9/11/01. His rallying call to the nation, answering the demand for vengeance against the 'evil-doers' is included in his rhetoric, reproduced on clothing and on messages displayed around the US. The American Civil War's Battle of Gettysburg was fought in and around the town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania and was the one battle with the largest number of casualties: Between 46,000 and 51,000 killed in the three-days in July 1863.
