CIVIL WAR SONG Lincoln and Liberty President Abraham
Lincoln
Slide 3
Hurrah for the choice of the nation, Our chieftain so brave and
so true, We'll go for the great reformation, For Lincoln and
Liberty, too! We'll go for the son of Kentucky The hero of
Hoosierdom through, The pride of the "Suckers" so lucky, For
Lincoln and Liberty, too! Then up with the banner so glorious, The
star- spangled red, white, and blue, We'll fight till our banner's
victorious, For Lincoln and Liberty, too.

Reflection on Song I think this song is about how everybody is
so happy and thankful for Lincoln helping them win the war. The
first paragraph is saying how the chief is so brave for leading
them through the war, in the second paragraph they are saying the
confederate side lost and how they went for Kentucky. The last
paragraph is how they put up the American flag stating that they
won the civil war.

SHILOH, A REQUIEM by Herman MelvilleHerman Melville
(1819-1891)
Slide 8
April, 1862 Skimming lightly, wheeling still, The swallows fly
low Over the fields in cloudy days, The forest-field of Shiloh--
Over the field where April rain Solaced the parched one stretched
in pain Through the pause of night. The church, so lone, the
log-built one, That echoed to many a parting groan And natural
prayer Of dying foeman mingled there-- Foeman at morn, but friends
at eve-- Fame or country least their care: (What like a bullet can
undeceive!) But now they lie low, While over them the swallows
skim, And all is hushed at Shiloh That followed the Sunday fight
Around the church of Shiloh--

Reflection on Poem #1 I think this poem is about when the civil
war was over and how the are clouds and air are very dusty. Also
how the fields look Dry and boring, and how you can imagine what
the civil war looked like. For example, it explains how there are
dead bodys and ashes on the ground.

BALL'S BLUFF A REVERIE by Herman MelvilleHerman Melville
(1819-1891)
Slide 12
One noonday, at my window in the town, I saw a sight -- saddest
that eyes can see -- Young soldiers marching lustily Unto the wars,
With fifes, and flags in mottoed pageantry; While all the porches,
walks, and doors Were rich with ladies cheering royally. They moved
like Juny morning on the wave, Their hearts were fresh as clover in
its prime (It was the breezy summer time), Life throbbed so strong,
How should they dream that Death in rosy clime Would come to thin
their shining throng? Youth feels immortal, like the gods sublime.
Weeks passed; and at my window, leaving bed, By nights I mused, of
easeful sleep bereft, On those brave boys (Ah War! thy theft); Some
marching feet Found pause at last by cliffs Potomac cleft; Wakeful
I mused, while in the street Far footfalls died away till none were
left.
Slide 13
It Is talking about how one day this boy saw men walking to war
and women clapping and praising them.the boy was devastated,
Reflection on Poem #2 I think this poem is about how a community
watched a pack of soldier go off to war bravely and without fear.
The people cheered them on knowing the soldiers had no fear and
were brave. At the end of the poem, weeks had passed and only SOME
of the soldiers came home.
