Secretary Of State Fort Sumter
1,060 wordsIt would be an understatement to say that the Civil War caused unfortunate bloodshed and left a heritage of grief and bitterness in its path. This war is perhaps the most tragic of all time. Its epic feats and uncanny combats merit it as not only an unforgettable event in history, but a war that took over 600, 000 lives. It was the only war fought on American soil by Americans, and for that reason the Civil War has always of interest. Ironically, but not surprisingly, the Civil War still remains...

Interestingly, the two also had numerous differences. The first poem I encountered was "The Sick Rose" (1794) written by William Blake. Soon ...
