RAFT Civil War

You know, the first time you came here, it was cool, the second time, it was ok, the third was kind of boring, and now I question why you keep on coming back? Do you find this entertaining? Anyways, what do you want to know today? Oh. Write a letter as if I were a black union soldier during the Civil War? Oddly specific but ok. 

Dear Mother, 

I write to you the day after the Battle of Gettysburg. It was brutal. I wish this war would end and we could be free. Why don't the whites see that we are humans too? Anyway, this battle was really bad. It was brother against brother for three sleepless nights, always waking at the slightest sound thinking that this was the time that the confederates would attack. We lost nearly 17,500 soldiers, but we took out nearly three times as many! We defended our home mom, and that's what counts. As of now, I am crouched in the dirt as we travel back to our base camp. I am writing by candlelight about half a mile away as not to disturb the sleeping soldiers. Goodnight.

Doctor: I have some bad news and some very bad news.
Patient: Well, might as well give me the bad news first.
Doctor: The lab called with your test results. They said you have 24 hours to live.
Patient: 24 HOURS! That's terrible!! WHAT could be WORSE? What's the very bad news?
Doctor: I've been trying to reach you since yesterday.
