This is the letter written by, Maj. Ballou on Bull Run anniversary. This latter is the primary source as it gives insight into what the soldiers believed. This document gives the perspective of the Civil War soldier showing their reason for fighting. Primary sources that highlight a citizen's perspective provide the common American's experience.

The reasons for the Civil War are often portrayed from the perspective of the government and/or the wealthy. Soldiers typically have a different reason for fighting. The Civil War was about states' rights or keeping the Union together, but for this soldier it was about the legacy of the country and an attempt to protect that legacy.

What is the importance of the Okefenokee swamp to Georgia

Len [333]

The Okefenokee swamp extends from Waycross, GA to the Florida-Georgia state Line boundary. It was the last piece of “untamed” Georgia area after the Civil War as the area was thought to be uninhabitable by humans.

The swamp served as a boundary between three Georgia Native American nations, a settlement for Spanish missions, a canal site, safe have for slaves and whites, a battleground between the Seminoles and the US Army, and a railroad/logging site (which destroyed a significant amount of the habitat).

To this day it is a federally-protected, indigenous wildlife sanctuary for many threatened and endangered species.
