Poems on the Civil War

All right, people! Listen up!
I want poems about the American Civil War, PWs allowed. I'm looking for poems to share with my CW Reenacting Publication, the WCWA Dispatch. Please keep this in mind as you submit, because I intend to share these poems with a non-profit organization. You will be given full credit (aka your name in print). And kudos to the winners! You may use the picture for inspiration: Spirit of War by Rodin. Why? Because there were thousands of women soldiers in the Civil War that do not get enough attention!

    WHICH Civil War? There have been so many - and in so many countries. In the UK, for example THE Civil war is the War between Royalists and Roundheads in the 1640s.
