Lyrics:
On the twelfth of April, 1861, Confederate guns opened fire on Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor, thus beginning the bloodiest conflict in American History--620, 000 dead---more than all other American wars Combined. The Civil War remains this nation's single most defining experience, Ultimately giving new meaning to the word Freedom. Walt Whitman, a young newspaperman destined to become America's Greatest poet wrote: "Future years will never know the seething hell And the black infernal background of this war -- and it is best they Should not -- the real war will never get in the books.
