THE CIVIL WAR IN SONG & STORY 1860-1865

The American Civil Wa r (April 12, 1861 – May 26, 1865 was a civil war in the United States between the Union ("the North") and the Confederacy ("the South"), which was formed in 1861 by states that had seceded from the Union to preserve African American slavery, which they saw as threatened because of the election of Abraham Lincoln and the growing abolitionist movement in the North

From the Preface:

"In the preparation of this volume, it has been the design of the editor to preserve the most notable anecdotes and indigents of the late war, and such songs, ballads and other pieces of versifications as worthy of perpetuation. The tragic incidents, humorous episodes, and brilliant and heroic adventures of the conflict, allele buried in the columns of inaccessible newspapers; and it is not strange, therefore, that the editor should almost daily, for years past, have received letters requesting a re-issue of the work. The present edition is published in response to this demand."
