Answer:
My dearest wife,
I've been through hell and lived to tell the tale. I cannot wait to crawl back into your arms, having witnessed this... massacre...friends dying left and right, brothers screaming for help...but only the roar of the guns was heard.
It's been the largest number of casualties I've even seen in my life...and oh God... I hope no one ever sees hell like this again.
We, the Union, have somehow defeated general Lee, and stopped the invasion.
I hope to see you soon,
Yours forever, Erik
The post war economic boom was due primarily to foreign debt. The United States made substantial loans to European countries during World War I. Although the Europeans had very little money to repay the debts, American bankers restructured the loans to facilitate repayment. Although a brief recession occured in the early part of the decade, the Roaring Twenties saw the expansion of the stock market and considerable profit for investors.
