Cracked Countries Conflict
A war of separation, turned into a war for equality
The sundered nation, the reason is a difference in polity
Many battles bitterly fought, and many a Stonewall fell
With fighting fraught, to decide what people can dwell
The whole of the War contained between four Aprils
And all those fighting for freedom knew the perils
Freedom’s fight knew many failures, which flustered the flame inside
Especially whenever the commanding officer was revealed to be Burnside
The Proclamation at the time of three years in
The South viewed this freedom as a mortal sin
But this Emancipation was a liberties win
And it helped the process of embracing our differences begin
The South was run off many a slave driven cotton field
And the Railroad on their way to free the slaves kept their eyes peeled
The freed men fought alongside the Northern Others
Without care for the skin color of their soldier brothers
A score named four also a seven
To indicate when America started to leaven
The trenches and fields of Gettysburg
And the address after cemented Lincoln near the exergue
The start of the war began with the South's aggression
And by their declaration of Secession
They truly began the fight with the higher Northern progression
And the North would not allow this transgression
The attack on Fort Sumter
The shots were like thunder
During a clear day on April 12th
The Confederates prepared to hang their helves on a Fort Sumter Shelve
The products of war created by a man’s gun
Would be told in horror to a survivor's grandson
But the freedom earned for those enslaved
Made up for all the stone engraved
The cruelty of those forced to work
Needed to change and was clear by the North's retaliatory knee jerk
But the defending of Slavery to the South was a perk
That the North would put down like clockwork
The winning of the war by the North
Allowed past slaves their freedom henceforth
And the South's cruel ideal
Was shattered upon the newly freed men's will of steel
And now these people can now go home and enjoy a well earned meal.
