Just thinking about the civil war and how many soldiers perished, most very young and just kids, it's so very very sad. Sad for the mothers of the time to loose in many instances not one son but often two, three, or more.
We (US) have no date/holiday to commemorate them separately. A separate day of recognition outside of veterans day as the civil war was special amongst wars since it was a fight not against a foreign enemy but the US with itself. I have a son who is seven and just thinking that during the era of the civil war in another year or two or three, the army would be looking to pull him into a war. That's insane that it was even morally acceptable during that time.

Thanks so much for stopping by. It's bad enough we fight in foreign which I understand we have to at times.
To fight against each other how awful that was. Brothers fighting brothers in some cases.
Your tribute to the lost soldiers of the civil way is gorgeous. So many mothers mourned. In our way, we continue the keening because we remember.

Moonlake, What a compelling, dramatic, tear-tugging, worthy tribute! It's really effective the way in which you manage to convey a wealth of images and actions through the rigid structure of the three-line senry?.
Thank you for sharing, etc.,

Derdriu,
Thank you and thanks so much for stopping by. My great great Grandfather went through the loss of this son on the battle field. How awful it must have been for him and to know he had to go home, if he made it home and tell Cassandra her son was gone.
That was sad and touching.
War...if leaders had to pick up guns and go fight I am sure we would have much less. I live in the south and see many graves of these boys.
