Firing on Fort Sumter
Firing on Fort Sumter
My sisters and I came down to Rainbow Row to watch. We so hope the southern troops are going to capture Fort Sumter. We didn't know what to expect. Lots of friends were there. Everyone was dressed like they were going to a garden party. We cheered every time the cannons blasted! It was very exciting. I don't think the ladies realized this was the beginning of a war and not a show put on for their benefit. After all, some of our boys might be killed!

DeleteIt was fun watching the bombing om Fort Sumter.
ReplyDeleteWe cheered every time they hit it.
It was like fireworks going of when the bombs were going of.
We had a war going on here and you are sitting there watching us fight. Instead, of helping us fight.
DeleteIt Was a terrible! Everyone was so scared and we didn't have enough gunpowder to fight. There is booms going off and I am trying to not get hit by the booms. Everything was destroyed. It was going to be the start of a War.
ReplyDeleteI loved watching the big booms. The tea parties were great.It was the start of a war though.
ReplyDeleteI was watching.I just hoped they would capture Fort Sumter. Every time a bomb went people just cheered. I don't think anyone new what was actually going on.
ReplyDeleteMe and my fellow soldiers were resting one night . When I heard the loud sound of cannon balls shooting out cannons . It made me jump , I woke up , and looked for food or supplies . We barely had any gun powder . The only food we have is pork . 34 hours , 34 hours of cannon balls blasting us no food . Finally we surrendered but most of us were dead or bombed . This doesn't look good for the Union .
ReplyDeleteI came out of my home and heard such noise.I climbed on the roof top to see.I saw they were battling over at Fort Sumter. I.I got scared.
ReplyDeleteI was watching the excitement on my rooftop. It was like fireworks going of. Untitled they relisted it was a war going on.
ReplyDeleteI was sitting on my fronnt porch watching the bombs go off. I noticed many girls with tears in their eyes. For over 30 hours the bombs went off and the cannons blasted.
ReplyDeleteoh this is awesome i cheered every time a cannon shot but i don't think the girl knew it was a war and not a show.
ReplyDeleteI feel sad if this is a war but it feels like a party to. I hope the Southerns win. Our friends or siblings are out and maybe fighting or maybe dead.
ReplyDeleteIt made me sad because of the south and north are in battle. They should not be in battle. The war started for no reason.

I am sad and scared. Some people could die in this war. They should stop the war.

I am sitting on my front porch watching the terrifying war. I am trying to forget how sad the looks on the girls' faces when the cannons blasted. 30 hours later the U.S. soldiers finally surrendered. I saw the U.S. flag come down.
