To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
That he after- wards perished by his own hand rather than live under the American Flag, shows the intensity of bitterness that existed in the hearts of secessionists. How the people flew to arms is perhaps better remembered than any particular events or battles of the war. To those who took part there was nothing more impressive than the answer to that first call to arms. Men who had left home in the morning with no thought of war, shouldered their muskets and never saw their homes again. Men l...eft their business, their professions, their studies, their work of every kind, dropped their books and tools right where they were, took up the sword and musket, and never put off their uniforms nor laid down their arms until the sur- render of Lee at Appomattox. Some went forth as to a holiday, but most of them went with a firm purpose to put down the rebellion and save the country, or to perish in the attempt. No thought of danger, no thought of privation, no thought of pa}^ held them back. Only one thought tugged at their heartstrings, the leaving of wife, children, mother and sister, but God be praised, the women, never less brave than the men, bade their dear ones Godspeed, and then turned to take up the doubled work of their home life, with a new prayer upon their lips, that a Merciful Providence would spare their own.
