The Battle of Shiloh Hill was fought from April 6-7, 1862 in Harden County Tennessee. At the time, it was the bloodiest battle of the Civil War, up until The Battle of Antietam and eventually The Battle of Gettysburg.

    There were more casualties at Shiloh than in all battles of all wars in America up until that point.

    Some rebel soldier moved the end of his barrel a 1/16th of inch when aiming at the 3rd Iowa and I wouldn’t be here.

    The most hunting part of the song is: Oh such were the prayers I heard that night on Shiloh Hill. 😢💔 The soldiers last words of prayer before their last breath 😓💔 🪕

I don't know about you but, I have been living to die since the day I was born and you want my freedom socialist well now, one of us must bleed for you to obtain such a cherish. The battle is long and weary but, the end has a purpose before all of Gods' freemen, I thank you for letting me post on your page. See lies are easy for everyone to tell until, truth intervenes as there is no forgiveness unto me for your reach into my freedom. See my love dying is the easy part of freedom but, living for it as will of God, takes a different kind of soul she just laughed at me, and took her ~ muse ~ back... again. You made yourself what you are and not me or them merely yourself before God, and no one else. Sheep are for herding as they have no free mind you let me speak my mind or you take me as your enemy upon yourself so, called freeman. We started with God, and we will end ourselves in those same measures of freemen, I think you found the wrong soul to state yourself as godly, and unapproachable! Will you stand as a freeman above your need of the golden cow?
