“What a cruel thing is war; to separate and destroy families and friends, and mar the purest joys and happiness God has granted us in this world; to fill our hearts with hatred instead of love for our neighbours, and to devastate the fair face of this beautiful world! ... My heart bleeds at the death of every one of our gallant men."
-C.S.A General Robert E. Lee, Fredericksburg, Virginia, December 25, 1862
