The Bloody Battle of Sharpsburg


Today is truely a sad day.  Over 23,000 soldiers have been killed and the Confederacy fled Maryland.  The North outnumbered us with almost twice as many men fighting, but we lost just as many.  We cannot let this death toll rise:  we must conquer the North and end this war.

  1. I may not agree with your views on the Confederacy conquering, Mrs. Chesnut, but I do agree we should not allow death tolls to rise. Once the Union prevails, such a glorious nation this country will become.

  2. Your casualty figures are way off.

  3. I strongly feel the same way about what has happened. Both sides lost a number of soldiers, but we must not give up. We have to move forward.

  4. What you have said is true. The death toll only rises higher and higher as the Union refuses to let us be in peace.
