| A very small section of the Vicksburg National Cemetery.
Every one of the larger stones has the name and some
additional information about who is buried there. All
of the little small square stones have nothing but a
number, not even the phrase, "Unknown Soldier".
Each side suffered about 10,000 casualties during this
one battle. BTW, if you ask about the Civil War in the
south you will be informed that it was the "War
of Northern Aggression". In more polite language
it is called "The recent unpleasantness",
and some call it the "Failed War of Independence." |
