One of my favorite bluegrass/Americana songs. It reminds me of my Great-Grandfather x3 (Confederate), My Great-Grandfather x3 and my Great-Uncle x2 (Union) and their hardships during the Civil War.
Enjoy!

Nice.
I had a great great grandfather who died at Andersonville.
My wife's great grandfather was a Union 'doctor'. She found his discharge papers while looking
through piles of 'stuff' left by her mother.
The best we can tell, most of my ancestors were still in Europe during
the Civil War ... except possibly a few Cherokees (still undetermined)
I had a high school classmate named Brady, he was a descendent of
Mathew Brady, a famous civil war photographer.

Things I learned after moving from Michigan to North Florida, the war
was not about slavery it was about states rights, and they are still
sensitive about losing the war.
