So I'm working on a presentation for my Civil War history class and I found a song that seriously made me shed a tear.

Like I wasn't crying my eyes out, but it still made me sad.

It's a song by Waylon Jennings about the civil war and reality of how it devastated families.

It really is such a tragic thing.

Here's the song, I recommend listening to the whole thing, to get the full effect.

It's hard to imagine what that must have been like to live through.

Cheers to you my Northern brothers and sisters!
