Soldiers of the South

These American warriors wore the gray. They were the most courageous soldiers of their day. Their great struggle lasted four long years. They paid a high price in blood, sweat, and tears. These men pledged allegiance to their sovereign state. A northern invader was one they would hate. Near the end, their numbers and supplies were depleted. The warriors felt humiliated and defeated. However, their spirit had never gone away. We remember those who sacrificed to this day.
