[单项选择]The title of the biography The American Civil War Fighting for the Lady could hardly be more provocative. Thomas Keneally, an Australian writer, is unapologetic. In labeling a hero of the American civil war a notorious scoundrel he switches the spotlight from the brave actions of Dan Sickles at the battle of Gettysburg to his earlier premeditated murder, of the lover of his young and pretty Italian-American wife, Teresa. It is not the murder itself that disgusts Mr Keneally but Sickles’s treatment of his wife afterwards, and how his behavior mirrored the hypocritical misogyny of 19th-century America.
The murder victim, Philip Barton Key, Teresa Sickles’s lover, came from a famous old southern family. He was the nephew of the then chief justice of the American Supreme Court and the son of the writer of the country’s national anthem. Sickles, a Tammany Hall politician in New York turned Democratic congressman in Washington, shot Key dead in 1859 at a corner of Lafayette Square, with
A. to promote his popularity.
B. out of an uncontrollable impulse.
C. to revenge his opponents.
D. in view of the lady’s reputation.
