This flag flies to show the Unity of our land and to represent each state even the ones that threaten to succeed, and rebel against the nation. Hearing tortured cries you turn to see a man fighting for his life. His killer turns and he is weeping. He is weeping because the life he just took was his brothers. The other cries you hear tell you that this war is gruesome and should be stopped.
Wounded soldiers scream for help, but there is none to be given.
Those still fighting look in horror at the mangled bodies and pray that they don t end up like this. Not knowing that over 51,000 of the 158,300 will die. Then the aftermath of the battle came. Bodies were piled up, with no idea what should be done with them. The bodies started to spread diseases, and citizens of Gettysburg had to cope with great loses of life.
