1864 Poem - Stanton

Rehab

By- Capt. Stanton

Under command once again,
The man with his top hat won by big numbers.
President once again.
The votes were astounding,
Three states went with the underdog McClellan,
While the rest went to the past and current President Lincoln,
To unite what's supposed to be done already was their promise,
Now Lincoln has his official orders to for rehabilitation.
Rehab for the Union.
How convenient.
But the Union has been parting,
Our entire purpose for war an irony.
I often question if it's worth to sacrifice for a nation that is indecisive so,
But Grant lifts my spirit with his military empowerment, and I have hope once again.
No, I have a desire.
A desire to have any meaning in this war. 
To make my voice count in the battlefield.
That is my wish.

Letter Home-Parsons

    Dear Mother,     There so many things I would like to tell you.First there was so many reasons why I had to leave            home.I had to make a stand by what was right.I had to stand by a group of people that believed in          the same way I did.The past few days I had joined the union something I knew was the right thing to do there was people that had the same type of felling that I did about slavery.As of course you know I am a type of person that would do anything and everything to accomplish something.You don't even   know how many issues and conflicts theirs been about slavery.Over the Election of 1860 was one of   them of opposing sides of slavery it was one of the most impact presidential elections in American History.One of the main issues were about slavery and state rights.As I write about how history these days are I spent time thinking on what we do about it together as a union.I hope that I accomplish something but at the end I would want to change somet

Letter 1861-Parsons

Its that time again where we get a lost its sad to see us a Union together not get a victory.I continue looking and fighting for what I came for.I write this and think about what we could of done.It was sad to not see us,I look around at this instant moment and see how much we got in us. Our leaders are powerful  people that will lead us to do the impossible I am not gonna lie it was a discourage that we didn't win but know that theirs more to come . The battle of Bull run in 1861 was one of them as i write i express how it happen.We together as a union fight to the end we had the most people from the other side the Confederate troops moved north i guess you can say it wasn't the best idea.As we got back we were all had something to say we think about what we did wrong. From the past few days all of us have been practicing and getting better at our skills for many things.Have I mentioned that we got a new tax from congress it was a good push for the Union Government .Me
