DID YOU KNOW?
The North called it "THE GREAT REBELLION" ~ referring to the South's planned
secession from the Union concerning the subject of slavery.
The South called it "THE WAR OF NORTHERN AGGRESSION" ~ referring to the North's
unwillingness to break the Union over this or any subject.
The issue of SLAVERY may have been the VEHICLE, but STATES' RIGHTS was the
ISSUE.

MR. LINCOLN SPEAKS
"In giving freedom to the slave we assure freedom to the free,
~ honorable alike in what we give and what we preserve."
(Second Annual Message to Congress, Dec. 1, 1862)
"Let us have faith that right makes might;
and in that faith let us dare to do our duty as we understand it."
(Address, New York City, Feb. 21, 1859)
"With malice towards none, with charity for all,
with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right."
(Second Inaugural Address, March 4, 1865)
"That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom,
and that government of the people, by the people, for the people,
shall not perish from the earth."
(Speech at Gettysburg, Nov. 19, 1863)
THE COPPERHEADS
Author Unknown
From "Poetry and Music of the War Between the States"
"There was a draft on the Union side, starting in early 1863. It was very unpopular. In New York City, protest marches turned into riots which lasted for three nights. The Union had to divert every available man (probably 3,500 total) to serve as riot police. There was protest all across the northern states, but NYC was the worst."

MY RELATIVES WHO SERVED
John Ritter, my gggrandfather, in his Civil War uniform, taken from a tintype.
He served in Company G of the First Regiment Heavy Artillery Minnesota Volunteers.
My maternal great-grandfather, James A Russell
He enlisted at a very young age as a drummer boy for Company F of the 30th Wisconsin Infantry. While serving in Dakota, he lost several fingers of his right hand to frost bite.
Our family has been unable to find his ancestry. We think he came from the East to Wisconsin with a family named Wilkerson. They may have been his aunt and uncle. If you have any information, please let me know.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
"The Battle Cry of Freedom" (1862)
Words and Music by George Frederick Root
Yes we'll rally round the flag, boys, we'll rally once again,
Shouting the battle cry of Freedom,
And we'll rally from the hillside we'll gather from the plain,
Shouting the battle cry of Freedom.
(Chorus)
The Union forever,
Hurrah boys, hurrah!
Down with the Traitor,
Up with the Star;
While we rally round the flag, boys,
Rally once again,
Shouting the battle cry of Freedom.
We are springing to the call of "Three Hundred Thousand more,"
Shouting the battle cry of Freedom,
And we'll fill the vacant ranks of our brothers gone before,
Shouting the battle cry of Freedom. (Chorus)
We will welcome to our numbers the loyal true and brave,
Shouting the battle cry of Freedom,
And altho' he may be poor he shall never be a slave,
Shouting the battle cry of Freedom. (Chorus)
So we're singing to the call from the East and from the West,
Shouting the battle cry of Freedom,
And we'll hurl the rebel crew from the land we love the best,
Shouting the battle cry of Freedom. (Chorus)
