WOMEN IN BATTLE
Thousands of Confederate women aided
their country’s war effort as nurses,
laundresses, and cooks, but many women also
wanted to go to war and fight. Many women
wanted to go to war but, did not because war
was a man’s business. In order for a women to
go to war they had to cut their hair short, dress
themselves to look like men, change their
names, and then they had to find a recruiter to
enlist them in the war. Women also had to get a
physical examination, it included a reasonable
height, at least a partial set of teeth so that they
can tear open a powder cartridge, and have
enough pressure for a trigger finger. Also a
large number of women when they went to
army went with a husband, brother, sweetheart,
or father.
WEATHER
On November 4TH 1864 the weather was
mostly sunny with a chance of rain. The high
was of 63 and a low of 41.

EDITORIAL
In the 1864 presidential election
McClellan ran against Lincoln, but just
as I suspected, Lincoln won. Lincoln
won 2,218,388 votes and McClellan
only got 1,812,807 votes. I’m not happy
that Lincoln won because he wants to
abolish slavery but (and I think I speak
for all confederates when I say ) we
want slavery to stay because we need
the slaves to work the plantations.
If I was McClellan I wouldn't have the
nerve to stand up to Lincoln because he
was unhappy with the way McClellan
ran the army at Bull Run. Since Lincoln
is president again for the next four
years, we can only hope for a big
victory to defeat the north to keep the
south on its rightful path.

Lifestyles and Foods
in Gettysburg
The civil war is taking a toll on our
everyday life. The civilians cannot afford to
go to the theatre etc., because the economy
is so bad from the war. Food prices went
very high during the war. For example
bacon went from $0.33 to $7.50 per pound.
Wheat and coffee also went up
astronomically. We have had to substitute
parched corn for coffee. When will this
end? Some of our money was all for the
war, like for weapons, and food. We had to
give up curtains and rugs for the soldiers so
they could have clothing, shelter, bandages
and bedding.
As bad as civilians had it, soldiers had it
worse. They were tired, hungry,
discouraged and sick. Lets pray for the
soldiers and thank everyone for supporting
the war.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Finally the recoil of the incomplete
and imperfect nation that we have
been living in for the last 70 year.
For 7 decades, the presence of
slavery in a republic founded on the
principles of freedom. The freedom
for a man to do with his property as
he pleases. That was until the north
decided that it is morally wrong and
expect us to give them not only our
property, our way of being, our life
style, our freedom. But after taking
so much abuse by Lincoln and
Yankee friends we strike back. In
the summer of 1861 the two armies
of a divided nation clashed for the
first time on the fields over looking
bull run. Ten hours of heavy fighting
swept away any notion the war’ s
outcome would be decided quickly.
As our outnumbered troops
screeched out the infamous rebel
yell and drove out the pencil
pushing Yankees back to
Washington. Despite the victory in
bull run this war has just begun.

FEATURE ARTICLE: President
Lincoln
People of the south, President
Lincoln announced that he was
going to free our slaves. He will
sign a Emancipation Proclamation
in January. What do You think we
should do about that? If you have
Any examples please write back.
President Lincoln also wants to
Have a law Stating that the slaves
will always be free and the south
cant do anything about it. Before
he could ask the congress to
approve the Thirteenth
Amendment Already stated that
slaves are free. Now we Have
more problems to solve. Well
that’s all for now tune in next time
for more.
