The Unknown Confederate

The Unknown Confederate

We’ll never know his name
He was born an American
A son of the US
A son of the South
Politicians decided his fate
Drew a line between the states
He fought for the side he was given
We do not know how he died
And that really doesn’t matter
We know he died defending his homeland
He was a Confederate soldier
But, he was still an American
And he was and will be a hero
