R.A.F.T. - Civil War by Augustus Sabino

Dear Martha,

We are fighting for our freedom and winning. We have trudged through the blood, sweat, and tears of our kin and died. I have seen things I would never wish upon any man. They are paying us less for doing more. At Fort Wagner our brothers died in our arms as we bounded to our own deaths. On the good side we have our own regiments, we can now serve our country, our rights, our freedom. We are now recognized as people in a free nation, who can fight for their country and die for their country. I hope you receive this letter before it's to late.
       Your husband,
        Davis
