this has been the biggest turning point in the war. the battle of Gettysburg was our final attempt to take the north but it failed greatly. somehow the union found a legitimate use for bayonets even though they are about 100 years old. after losing the battle Lincoln said I have to free my laves. why would I care though he isn't the boss of me. he thinks that he can free our slaves he is weird.

Blog 1864: Sherman"s march photo mosaic in shape of union flag

I did my picture mosaic in the shape of the Union flag because it was the Union that had this march to capture Georgia. I used several different pictures relating to Sherman's march in my mosaic, including the music sheet for "Marching though Georgia", black and white drawings of the march, buildings on fire from the march, slaves being emancipated, etc. I also included pictures of William Tecumseh Sherman who was a Union general and contributed to the march, pictures of books that were based on the march, and various other pictures relating to Sherman's March.

Dear Sally,
We have been very successful in the so far in the war, although I have just caught drift that the north has captured the Mississippi river. I saw the other day that Abe Lincoln has created the so called Emancipation Proclamation, it states that all slaves that we own in the south are free. I can not believe this he can not tell us what to do we are a different country. You must keep all our slaves in shape if they try to leave or escape you see what to do and that will be fine. You know that slaves are our God given right and they are ours never let anyone tell you different. I pray all is well back home and with the family I can not wait to return home.

Love,
