Why Do Men Fight Who Were Born

I Do Not Want To Make This Charge. I Do Not See How It Can Succeed. I Would Not Make It Now But That General Lee Has Ordered It And Expects It.

There Was No Indication Of Panic. The Broken Files Marched Back In Steady Step. The Effort Was Nobly Made And Failed From The Blows That Could Not Be Fended.

This Is A Hard Fight And We Had Better All Die Than Lose It.

If The Entire Union Army Comes Across Here, I Will Kill Them All!

I Hope To Live Long Enough To See My Surviving Comrades March Side By Side With The Union Veterans Along Pennsylvania Avenue, And Then I Will Die Happy.
