The End!!

The Union army has won the final battle in Appomattox of 1865, though I died way before this time. I feel that if i were alive, my response to this would have been an outrage, but I would have lived on. The Union did win in the end, but the Conferderates had many battles before that were a great assest to them. The Battle of Bull Run, the first battle, the battle of Fort Sumter, and other numerous battles. We might get to claim to the final battle, but we can claim some of the other bigger battles.

Battle of Vicksburg

I am still planning my journey through the Breamuda, granted to me by Presidetn Davis.You can read of this in my letter to Boteler. I hear that the Conferderates have suffered a great loss. This is heartbreaking for me to hear, but we are still a strong people. General Pemberton, you tried, but this one you had to let go.

The Battle of Gettysburg

Still being confinded to the Conferderate states, President Davis had position me to do some diplomatic missions for the Conferderacy,going back and forth from France to Britain. There was not much I could do or say to what happened at Gettysburg, for I was out doing othere things to get aid for the Conferderates.

Battle of Chancellorsville

During this time I was held captive at the Old Capital's Prison. From August 1861 to May 1863, once I was released I "exiled to the Confederacy." Wildly accpected by the people and personally accpeted by Jefferson for my aid to the Confederates. This battle show the strength of our people and how we can not be defeated. The Union says we are weak, but with our victories so far how can they? We are here to stay and win this war!!

Emancipation Proclamation

This is a big issue for both sides. I feel that this is not a good thing to bring out at this time. So many people will be infuriated and this can only cause more tensions to rise betweeen the North and the South. Though it affects me in that my former slaves must be set free, I have not much to say. I can survive without the use of slaves. To my fellow southerners who feel that they can not survive you will make it.

Antietam Creek of 1862

There is not much that I can say to this battle. It was devasting to the Confederate for we had lost. It was a big turn around for the South. This battle will not slow us down in our effort to beat the North.General Lee tried his best trying to keep his soldiers together. It was a devastion on both sides, to lose that many soldiers. Many fathers, sons, and uncles were lost to this war. Though we may be mouring, we shall not give up, either sides.
