"With all my devotion to the Union and the feeling of loyalty and duty of an American citizen, I have not been
able to make up my mind to raise my hand against my relatives, my children, my home. I have therefore resigned
my commission in the Army, and save in defense of my native State, with the sincere hope that my poor services may
never be needed, I hope I may never be called on to draw my sword....." Lee in a letter to his sister, April 20, 1861 ----
Gen Robert E. Lee  (CSA)

"No earthly act would give me so much pleasure as to restore peace to my country, but I fear it is now out of the
power of man, and in God alone must be our trust. I think our policy should be purely on the defensive, to resist
aggression and allow time to allay the passions and permit reason to resume her sway."  - Gen Robert E. Lee  (CSA)

"The War between the States, North vs. South"

United States of America       (Union)
Confederate States of America (CSA)

"War to preserve the Union and end Slavery,
Preserve the Constitutions as interpreted by some,
against Federal consolidation & taxation, & above all, tariffs
on what the south produced, as northern farmers couldn't compete
with the cheap labor of slavery in the south, & still other reasons. Most
CSA soldiers were farmers didn't own slaves & most were illiterate & understood
that they were defending the south & protecting their families & lands from an invading
army from the north, and preserving the constitutions as originally understood, less than 5%
of southerners owned slaves. Union Pres. Lincoln and his Gen. Sherman both had owned slaves.
To their credit, rose above their beliefs and removed this, institution of slavery, from our society.

Both sides fought for the defining principles of Freedom, in our country

     The battalion was not heard from again until after the war. They would endure Japan's Death Railroad, made famous in the movie, The "Bridge On The River Kwai".

     Harvey Shaver has a memorial at National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, Honolulu, Hawaii. The 2nd Battalion, 131st Field Artillery is the most decorated unit in Texas of any war.
