The Battle Of Antietam September 17, 1862. This Was The Bloodiest Single Day In American History. Men

My ancestor Noah Crews was with Lawton’s Brigade 26th GA at Sharpsburg/aka Antietam. Quite possibly in the Cornfield. May we always remember this day Sept. 17, 1862. The bloodiest single day in American history. 160th Anniversary

At 10 P. M. of the 16th, Lawton's Brigade advanced from its position west of the Dunkard Church and relieved Wofford's Brigade of Hood's Division in the fields south of the Cornfield and east of the Hagerstown Pike. Skirmishers were thrown forward into the south edge of the Cornfield. In this position the Brigade was attacked at about 5:30 A. M. on the 17th by Seymour's Brigade of Meade's Division on the right and, at 6 A. M., by three Brigades of Doubleday's Division on the left. After losing its commander and more than one-half its members, it was relieved by Wofford's Brigade of Hood's Division and withdrawn to the woods southwest of the Dunkard Church and was not again engaged.

This is the Confederate First National Flag and is considered the original National Confederate Flag from 1861-1863. The Battle Flag of the Army of Northern Virginia is most commonly mistaken as the “confederate flag.”

Credit to the Mariners Museum in Norfolk, VA. This flag would have flown aboard the CSS Virginia. It flew everywhere and in as many places as the battle flag. The First National was coined the “Stars and Bars”

Snow In New Orleans

* * * *

Everything in New Orleans is a good idea. Bijou temple-type cottages and lyric cathedrals side by side. Houses and mansions, structures of wild grace. Italianate, Gothic, Romanesque, Greek Revival standing in a long line in the rain. Roman Catholic art. Sweeping front porches, turrets, cast-iron balconies, colonnades- 30-foot columns, gloriously beautiful- double pitched roofs, all the architecture of the whole wide world and it doesn't move. All that and a town square where public executions took place. In New Orleans you could almost see other dimensions. There's only one day at a time here, then it's tonight and then tomorrow will be today again. Chronic melancholia hanging from the trees. You never get tired of it. After a while you start to feel like a ghost from one of the tombs, like you're in a wax museum below crimson clouds. Spirit empire. Wealthy empire. One of Napoleon's generals, Lallemaud, was said to have come here to check it out, looking for a place for his commander to seek refuge after Waterloo. He scouted around and left, said that here the devil is damned, just like everybody else, only worse. The devil comes here and sighs. New Orleans. Exquisite, old-fashioned. A great place to live vicariously. Nothing makes any difference and you never feel hurt, a great place to really hit on things. Somebody puts something in front of you here and you might as well drink it. Great place to be intimate or do nothing. A place to come and hope you'll get smart - to feed pigeons looking for handouts”

― Bob Dylan, Chronicles, Volume One

Have you ever seen the The Polk Battle Flag? It features the well-known Southern Cross, with an upright cross with the colors reversed. Here

June 19, 1864 Battle of Cherbourg France. The CSS Alabama was sunk by the USS Kearsarge. But not without a fight. This shot is still embedded in the side of the Kearsarge today at the Navy Yard. Both the quality of the powder and the coal were thought to have played a part in the Alabama’s loss. The British yacht the Deerhound rescued many in the crew including Captain Semmes. Unfortunately David White a slave from Delaware, who had been freed by Captain Semmes, from a Yankee ship, drowned that day. He is forever immortalized in the sea.

Is the Spirit of Reconciliation Dead just like our Ancestors? https://www.cem.va.gov/cem/pdf/InterpretiveSigns/ConfederateBurials-NewYorkCity.pdf

April 12-14 1861 Fort Sumter was fired upon. Protective Tariffs that oppressed the South were the cause of the war. Greedy industrialists in the North wanted the cotton for their factories in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. No mention of slavery was found in the Tariff Act seen below. Take note of the Seven Star First National flag at the Fort!
