| + | On Page 189 Drew Faust's work "Battle over the Bodies" how the position of the South had changed from stunned disbelief to a posture of growing defiance. One of the ways that the South continued to defy the North was to disturb the grave sites of Union soldiers which the Union was surprised that this type of action was taking place. Faust discusses that the reason for the South to desecrate Union graces was that the graves proved to be an irresistible target for southern rage and was an opportunity to express their refusal of defeat. The Confederacy was unable to defeat a live Union army, but they could stay fight against a dead one.- Nick | ||
