Dear Sally,
The Civil War has begun! Lee fired the first shots and forced Anderson to
surrender. Although this was a victory for our side, the Confederacy, the war
could be long and difficult. I doubt that Lincoln will give up until the
southern states join back into the Union, or if we make his army surrender. I
will do everything I possibly can to make sure that we will remain the
Confederate States of America, and that we can keep our slaves. Our victory
today was very simple. All we had to do was surround Fort Sumter in a way that
did not allow the Union garrison that was in the fort to be able to attack us. I
don’t know when I will be back home, but I assure you that everything will be
all right for us. Tell the children I miss them and I am surviving this
war.
Love always,
John
