Pickett's Charge.

Thomas Williams

What made these men first walk and then run towards the cannons across that uneven mile torn ground, again their foe hidden behind a stone wall with rifles. Thousands of Southern Soldiers shoulder to shoulder in lines together and in the line of fire getting shot, cut, and cursed, all out in the open dying for sure. And yet they pressed further into the breach of hell until hardly any one was left. What made these brave men keep the faith dying in the attack of Pickett's Charge?

And is what I feel now in the memory of those men even after all of these past years since they did what they did, the answer in what made them charge anyway? Yes of course! It is the passion in their spirit that they honor then, and that we honor now, to even die for their countries cause that I feel. And how they caring their country's mental all the way until the last, which I keep feeling and seeing about them today.

Those southern soldiers bravery were extraordinary and I would like to believe in the honor of those men then, and just might even happen in us again.
