Dazed and Confused, U.S.A. | Josh Clark

Josh Clark would love to time travel to the 1850's just before the Civil War when the country was dealing with what it meant to be an American. As a Southerner, who grew up Mississippi, he is intrigued by a country that was grappling with itself and at the same time embracing transcendentalism. He lists his favorite books from the pre-Civil War days, written during an time of national tension. Leaves of Grass, Moby Dick and the Scarlet Letter. Motto: Make it New. Best President: Abraham Lincoln. Greatest fear for America: Apathy What can bring Americans together in divided times? Football, of course. And in particular, college football in the South.
