More than three million Americans fought in it on over 600,000 men. 2% of the population died In it, American homes became headquarters. American churches and schoolhouses sheltered the dying. Huge foraging armies swept across American farms and burned American towns. Americans slaughtered one another, wholesale here in America in their own corn fields and peach orchards along familiar roads and Bywaters with old American names. In two days at Shiloh, on the banks of the Tennessee, more American men fail than in all previous American wars combined. At Cold Harbor, 7000 Americans fell in 20 minutes.
