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!
Cordially,Miss Amanda Honeydew

ReplyDeleteIt was so exciting to see Amanda at Charleston. But I was worried that the Confederate troops would lose the fight. So we people climbed up the stairs that led to the roofs of our houses. Because the cannons were right on the cotton plantations.
ReplyDeleteThe wheels of the cannons were on the our land so the plantations were getting messed up. Our slaves had to run into our houses because the smoke came over to the plantations. We all just stared at the fort worrying that our brothers were going to die. How long will this dreadful battle last?
And than cannon balls where flying every where.
ReplyDeleteI saw flames and cannon balls flying. It was a really good show.
ReplyDeleteI loved the show it was beautiful watching the fire. The best part was when my friend Adonis shot the fort. After I saw it I went and I killed 30 people in the in the fort.
ReplyDeleteI think it was really exciting to see Amanda.
ReplyDeleteI climb on a ladder and the show was good. There is a lot of people.
ReplyDeleteIt was very scary watching.
ReplyDeleteThe best part was when I saw the flag flew over Fort Sumter
