Civil War.

In the Civil War they had younger boys, teenage boys, play the drums in the war. It was the battle song practically. They were told to play no matter what. They played until the battle was over or they died. How would you feel if everyone around you was dying? & you were being shot at. For me it would be a very scary thing. In the book I picked they were talking about famous or well known children that were the drummers. Poor children chose to become drummer boys because they got free meals. But is free food enough to risk our life? When I am older I plan on going to the West Point Academy then after my 4 years is up go enlistment. That is my Dream. But these boys were about 10, 11, 12 and older. I think that it would be very scary for me.
