Whenever I read the following quote I think of innocence lost, a love and willingness to sacrifice for an ideal only to learn the ideal is not so ideal.I will use this quote as the final thought in my Civil War unit. Enjoy and feel free to interpret what you want from it.
"My shoes are gone; my clothes are almost gone. I'm weary, I'm sick, I'm hungry. My family have been killed or scattered. And I have suffered all this for my country. I love my country. But if this war is ever over, I'll be damned if I ever love another country."
--- Confederate Soldier During Retreat To Appomattox
