Blog Post- 1865

March 13,  1865
Ivarene-
          It is done, we have lost the battle. I'm so sad to have said this, yet we put up a good fight, and I will be returning home soon. Im lucky to be alive- thousands of dead bodies lay on the battle fields waiting to buried.  After Richmond was defeated, we fled, with the Union troops outnumbering us following close behind. We had no other choice but to surrender at Saylor's Creek. A treaty was made at Appomattox Courthouse. Lincoln's 2nd Inaugurated Address happened a few weeks ago. He wants to bring our states back to the union- it was odd though, there was a weird feeling in the air from the Union- it was almost forgiving. Well so what, I don't care that we have been defeated, or that that ol Lincoln is President again but he will never have my respect. I hope to see you and the kids very soon, and have missed yall so much.
                                                                                               Sincerely,
                                                                                                   Flash

Popular Songs for the Feds

Top Three Songs for CSA 1. "Dixie" This song was important to the Feds because it was the anthem they would play during all of the attacks that the Feds led. Even though it was written by a Daniel Emmett, an abolitionist, for mockery at slaves for entertainment the South felt it greatly resembled their identity. It was the unofficial anthem of the Confederacy and the tune was catchy enough to be one of Abe Lincoln's favorite songs.   Here is a video of the song- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OKdbc0DYpM 2. "The Bonnie Blue Flag" This song was important to the Feds because it kept up morale. It was another unofficial anthem that was one of the most popular in the South second only to "Dixie".

People felt connected to it and the song was instantly wanted all over the South.  Here is a video of the song- https://ww

!862 Parody to "I Lived"

Here are the lyrics to the parody Hope when the feds win war you give back the slaves Hope when you get the draft you hate and rave  Hope when you meet your prez you thinks he’s trash  Hope when you meet the blacks you think there rash  Hope when you see the gore your disgust grows  The only way war is fought is with flesh and bone And I hope you fight Stonewall but you run and hide Hope since we won Bull Run you’ll say  Feds, Feds, Feds, Feds won the fight Feds, Feds, Feds, Feds won the fight  The Union fought hard and valiantly  But feds just won that’s the reality  Ya with every setback oh I swear feds won Hope that you lose morale and you all give up  And then we won Antietam and McClellan is done And though you think you won you technically lost  But when we kill more ur men I’ll say Feds, Feds, Feds, Feds won the fight  Feds, Feds, Feds, Feds won the fight  The Union fought hard and valiantly  But feds just won that’s the reali
