I'm a huge American history buff. My main interest is the Civil War. My dad helped to kickstart my passion for the "war between the states" when I was seven (7) by letting me watch the movie Gods and Generals. My fastination with both was never waned. I think that that is why I love this album so much. It's not just being an American. It's my love for understanding what made this country the country that it is, both the good and the bad.

When his men eventually ran out of ammo, he ordered a downhill bayonet charge. That charge most likely saved the union army from defeat and maybe even losing the entire war. Day 3 is from the confederate viewpoint, mostly General Robert E. Lee's. It tells the horrible tell of the doomed charge that Lee orderex which was Picket's
