I love history and are history but the history of the American civil war is special
You know when Ken Burns produced his documentary
The Civil War
In my humble opinion it was one of the greatest productions ever shown
What really got to me was the songs and the music
Songs from the South
Songs from the North
Songs and music from both sides
In those bitter years of death and destruction
Americans killing Americans
Music and song for many was the only panacea
The only escape
Many battlefield hardened men
Probably shed tears when that music played
And the songs were sung
I to get close to tears
When I think on mans inhumanity to man
