VIRGINIA. It
is now abundantly and terrifyingly clear that this war will not be over in a
few months. Families in the North and
the South are grieving the loss of husbands, fathers, sons, and brothers. Perhaps readers of this very paper have lost
a loved one in the last month. This is
not surprising considering the staggering loss of life at such battles as Bull
Run, Antietam, and bloody Shiloh
Church. Those who thought the South would crumble
under the might of northern armies and weapons are painfully and shockingly
surprised. The South has done more than put up a fight. They are winning the war in the East. Virginia
is theirs. And so much for the North’s
vaunted advantage in technology. It was
the Southern ironclad, Virginia,
that reeked havoc on Northern ships in Hampton Roads last March.
Reports of spies seeping into the very fabric
of our lives in the North and the South have alarmed not only Presidents
Lincoln and Davis, they have aroused the suspicions of ordinary citizens. There are also reports that the Confederacy
is sending representatives to Great Britain
to ask Queen Victoria
to join the South in defeating the North.
Great Britain! It appears that the Revolutionary War is NOT
over.

ReplyDeleteThe Confederate States of America will fight till the end. Even if it means many lives will be lost. The people that have died have died for a good cause. We salute you. To the families of the lost, we are proud of your loved one. To my military, keep fighting. We will beat the bully.
ReplyDeleteHow are we the bully if the war starts with slavery. If you southerners hadn't been so harsh against slaves the war may have never been created. Thus for the North will win!
DeleteWe must destroy the confederacy now! We still have more cannon factories and materials to spare then the south does. As for the requests from for Great Britain to join them, I seriously doubt that they will join. They have absolutely no reason to. Besides, we have espionage that can undermine anything they throw at us.( The abolitionists have underestimated us. They though they could crush us with their "advanced technology". We have a strong foothold in Virginia and our ships are superior. The Confederacy is also much more capable of using espionage as we have proved capable of using our unexpected arsenal of weapons to win decisive victories. We have clearly proved them wrong and we shall continue to dominate this war.
ReplyDeleteCan we please stop this war we can not take it anymore. The soldiers have ben coming in all day. I went up to Aunties this morning and she said that she had a yankee officer to spend the night with her. We have not seen much of them. Only two of them have ben here to beg some thing to eat. We have had a rainy day and we all feel gloomy. People are starving from this war not only the soldiers but our town too.
ReplyDeleteThis war is an outrage, many innocent people are losing their lives for this dreadful war. Everyone who is supporting the south should be thrown into the calaboose for this. I've seen a lot of people dying and suffering as the assistant surgeon. Slavery is taking over the nation and sooner or later everyone in America will have slaves. That is bosh, no one should ever have slaves. If we abolitionists don't do anything about this cruelty, then slavery will become the norm in America.
ReplyDeleteThis war has left my entire family a divided mess. My brother refuses to speak or debate the issues with Lincolns presidency. My brother also has refused to act in any more plays in the south. Also I have been put under arrest for supposed "treasonous remarks". I was simply overheard confessing my personal opinion on the war to a friend, either way I'm currently under arrest but ill be out soon.
ReplyDelete(This war has been going on for way too long and needs to come to an end. Many innocent people have died because of this war. This is not only affecting families but also the soldiers. I am from the South, but that doesn't matter anymore, I just want this war to end. This war has caused slavery to increase and now almost everyone has a slave. Reports have said that spies are seeping into everyone's lives. That is not true about all the spies, I just want this war to end. But I know this war will not end until the North or South either one of them have a victory.)
ReplyDeleteYes people are dying and people are losing their lives for things we did to ourselves. But war needs to continue, The North has come so far and the war will end soon! The North will win and the slaves will be free! The North has the recourses and willpower so keep fighting and we will win

DeleteI agree with John Brown. We need to keep fighting and keep pushing. We can not back down from the South. We need to keep in mind that what we are fighting for is total freedom. The south needs to realize they woke up the wrong passenger. We need to keep fighting so the North will win this war!
DeleteMy life is now messed up all because of the civil war. There are only old men left for me in life or injured men who i do not want. I would like my own family and like to become a slave holder. I didn't know that the civil war would take this long. Im only 20 years old and i need my life to start as soon as possible. This war can not go on any longer.
ReplyDeleteThis is not a short war. The loss of lives is unfortunate for it has not ended. This reminds me of slaves being tortured to death. For the north shall win! Slaves will be persecuted forever in our land from god. Please let this bosh end!!! Humans are the face of America and the south has caused a fuss to America.
ReplyDeleteDo not underestimate southerners! From the help of Rose O'Neal Greenhows and the perseverance of our troops in refusing to give up, even when it seemed like we were going to lose, we succeeded to scare the union army away and win the Battle of Bull Run! We will keep this up so I'd recommend the north to throw in the sponge already!
ReplyDelete(Even if we may be losing now, we will keep on fighting back. I've been promoted as the head of the Union Intelligence Service and the National Detective Police, as I continue to support the union. The union soldiers who have died fighting for this cause will not die for no reason!)
Us Confederates will fight for our rights. This war will go on as long as it needs to.
ReplyDelete(I have gained the confidence of General Polk and discovered that Generals Pillow and Floyd are in command at the forts Donelson and Henry. These two are inexperienced and I have informed General Grant about this and hope this will lead to Southern defeat)

ReplyDeleteThe continuation of this war will only result in more battles with outcomes like those of the Bull Run, battle of Antietam and the battle of Shiloh Church. War will only bring more grief. There is not enough medical attention available for the soldiers out there risking their lives. I have been working in the field to help save those who are in battle, however there is only so much we can do. The Union must put an end to this war once and for all.
ReplyDeletewell i'm surprised that the north is surprised that we weren't going to last that's just bosh. Us southerns have to much pride to just let the north take away what we believe in, We will fight till the last man for what we believe in. I'm sure the north is stumped over there in there mansions wondering how we are winning this war which is bosh because we are going to win this war and no one can stop us.
ReplyDeleteThis war has created much bloodshed. I do not wish for anymore, but somethings just have to happen. We must be able to reunite ourselves, and agree upon terms. I have witnessed many good men die, and that is not a good sight. I wish not to see anymore, but I don't feel that this is the end of our war.
ReplyDeleteKeep fighting my unionist brethren! They may have the defensive advantage, but we have a trained United army. What do they have? Untrained drunks and white supremacists. There is no doubt that this war is nothing more than a battle of attrition. Time will tell which "nation" is truly stronger.
ReplyDeleteTho the Confeds won over Virginia they will never best the union. Though we suffered a loss of state in are area we will never ever stop us. We are fighting for freedom and we have determination in are souls and Gods help in are hearts. Yes the war might soon be done but when it's done we will hav won.

ReplyDeleteThe South will not be pushed over, we will fight. We will get support from England so you know how incorrect you all are. Again, I state how unneeded this war is that started with slavery of all things! Slaves are not people, only property. I'm also sure that Jeffferson will pick out any spies and dispose of them.
ReplyDeleteThe war is over once every single union soldier is dead. Union soldiers took my sons so i will now take those union soldiers from there families. This is Old Jacks one man war against the north.
ReplyDeleteThe war is good. The south deserves slaves and it is obvious that the North will lose this war. I'm a servant in the home of Confederate States so I twig that the South has trained army.
ReplyDelete( The South back down because the North is going to win, we the North will fight at whatever cost. Many people are dead but the North has come so far and this will war will be over soon.)

ReplyDeleteAlthough we suffered a loss we are fighting for freedom. We will persevere and win this war for the good of the country
ReplyDeleteYes the battle of bull run was a bad loss. But the south don't get it once either side falls the British are going to attack us when we are the weakest.this war did not need to happen the south are acting like children.We thee Union will win this war together. and it is a 4 to 1 population in the north
ReplyDeleteWe know we are losing all of our loved ones. But since we have come so close to ending slavery we need to keep fighting to abolish slavery and free the slaves. We were the ones who started the war to end slavery once and for all and we will fight to our deaths to end the unjust treatment of the slaves by the southern animals. We need to keep fighting this war to free the slaves for all future generations of this great country.
ReplyDeleteThe north has made me come into this war and they will regret it. Union soldiers cut of the heads of my sons and put them on my yard on sticks. I have grabbed my rifle and now I will make every take the life of every union soldier. I will become the best sharpshooter the Confederates have. I don't want the war to end now. I want to kill every last one of them!
ReplyDeletejohn brow is a good man! We need to keep in mind that what we are fighting for is total freedom. The south needs to realize they woke up the wrong passenger. We need to keep fighting so the North will win this war!
ReplyDeletewe are rallying, beating the bullies, we have to give it all we got all the time. even if it means losing lives the confederate states of america will beat down the bully until the bully is gone. you cannot push us around anymore! (the north will win this war in the matter of a few months. the south will back down and we will put them in a corner and will not let them escape. Our army is trained, there army is full of soaked grangers.)
