The Black Riders
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania July 1, 1883
Battle of Gettysburg
"FIRE!"
The one cry that can be heard over the cries of the wounded, the pop of the rifles, and the blasts from the cannons. The whole land is covered with the bodies of the dead and dying and the one thing that can and will make it worse is the soldiers charging at each other with bayonets drawn, going forth to rip the enemy apart.
The battle is between the Confederate States of America and the United States of America. The soldiers of the South called the northerners Yankees, Federalists, and the Union. The Union calls the southerners Confederates, the Grays, and the Rebels. This battle shows where the war is heading, but the story is after the civil war. But let's see what is happening at the front lines.
A black and white husky is sitting next to one of the greatest strategists to ever live; Robert E. Lee.
The husky looks at Lee and smiles. "Sir, this will be your greatest victory yet. The Union shall fall and the South will be its own nation."
Lee nods his head. "I agree Steele. But I need you to do something that will help us secure our win. I need you to round up some soldiers and charge the Union lines. We have to assault them and destroy their morale."
Steele nods his head. "You got it sir."
No matter what Lee did, he still lost the Battle of Gettysburg. This marked the downfall of the South and the near end of the Civil War. But after the end of the Civil War, one event occurred that goes by two names. In the North, it is called Reconstruction. In the South, it is called the War of Reconstruction. The North may have won the Civil War, but the South won the War of Reconstruction.
