Civil War Poem

I had to right a poem for a Civil war class I am taking, so I thought I'd post it. Here it is!

Did the Die in Vain?
By Me

Did they die in vain,
To keep the free from the pain,
Of permanent separation?

Fighting across the nation,
Lincoln’s emancipation,
Two countries fighting each other

Brother against brother,
Weeping tearful mother,
The Battle of Bull Run

The North won,
The South was out run,
Did God lend a hand?

Together we stand,
One nation, one land,
In God we must trust
