The civil war gained civil rights to people of United States .but the number of lives lost and the tragedy of it is terrible "Gone with The Wind' graphically depicts the tragedy.
The poem is written so well with apt verbs and rhyme that s I read it out I could sense a martial rhythm.

Comment from Hitcher
It was an insane war to wage war, marching soldiers into a barrage of bullets and hoping they get to their objective before they are wiped out. Millions lost their lives in that manner. Congrats on the win my friend, a very cool poem remembering a pivotal battle in the Civil war.

Comment from Cindy Warren
Congratulations on your win. It was well deserved. It's hard to imagine men marching into battle knowing they're most likely going to die. Couldn't the people who planned it see what a bad idea it was? Why would they send men into a fight they couldn't win? I'll never understand war.

Thank you vey much for the lovely words of support and feedback. I appreciate both your time and your kindness. Generals tend to be a bit cocky and once they develop a plan they rarely deviate from it. There were two other generals who tried to tell them they should take the high ground before the Confederates did but were not listened to.

Mystic Angel, I can certainly see how you won first place with this. You so skillfully recounted that horrible was and all the lives lost. I will keep my eyes open to see if this is in any way commemorated down here in Dixie.

Comment from CrystieCookie999
I am a little rusty on my Civil War history, but this is a great poem. Nice job on recounting not only observable events, but also what the soldiers themselves must have been feeling, namely dread. I like these lines: Lee in prayerful silence grieved
for losses which can't be retrieved
I was wondering if the verb tense of 'can't' might sound better with this little variation:
Lee in prayerful silence grieved
for where brave men lay, not retrieved
Nice share.
