War Poetry of the South is a collection of poems written by various Southern poets during the American Civil War. The book provides a glimpse into the thoughts, feelings, and experiences of those who lived through the war and the impact it had on their lives. The poems cover a range of topics, including patriotism, love, loss, and the horrors of war. Some of the poems are written by well-known poets such as Sidney Lanier and Henry Timrod, while others are by lesser-known writers. The book also includes an introduction that provides historical context for the poems and an overview of the role of poetry during the Civil War. Overall, War Poetry of the South is a powerful and moving collection that offers insight into the human experience of war.From Preface: Though sectional in its character, and indicative of a temper and a feeling which were in conflict with nationality, yet, now that the States of the Union have been resolved into one nation, this collection is essentially as much the property of the whole as are the captured cannon which were employed against it during the progress of the late war. It belongs to the national literature, and will hereafter be regarded as constituting a proper part of it, just as legitimately to be recognized by the nation as are the rival ballads of the cavaliers and roundheads, by the English, in the great civil conflict of their country.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
