Mare And The Confederate Grey
The amateurish approach to the war had at first prevail
on both sides was now giving way to the bitter relentless fighting on such shell-ratted
battle-fields as Gaines Mill. Antietam and Fredericksburg. Like the Drifter, many people
were beginning to grasp the terrible horror of what was happening and they were starting
to regret their initial desire to fight their political arguments with weapons rather than
continue with words. What they had started was not to end for another three bloody years.
