July 30, 1861
Hey everybody! I am writing in regards to the Civil War that has just started. The problem started when South Carolina declared their independence. The called themselves The Confederate States of America. Soon after 10 other states had seccessced for the Union. The North has the advantage of money which allows them to get weapons and supplies while on the other hand the South has home field advantage. The North also has a lot more people than the South but the people from the South come from rural areas where they are better with guns and being in undeveloped environments. The Confederate States of America have also just written a declaration of independence. I think it will be very bad if the country separates. I have just written a poem about the war as it was starting called Beat! Beat! Drums! as a rally call for the North. We need to stick together. The North will win this war.
