Dear Fellow Brother's and Soldiers,
Today is the long dreaded day
The day we must surrender
The day we go on to our enemy to the north
The day we prayed we hope to have never come.

I wish that this did not have to come
I hoped for a great victory
Yet now we must give up our own guns
now we sit here as the north celebrates in their great victory, not ours.

We may have lost this war
but we did fight in honor
I wonder why we had to fight like brothers
Because now we lost not only ours in the south, we lost ours in the north as well.

My fellow brothers and soldiers, we are not only brothers
They alone are our brothers as well.
But yet through this blood and gore and loss
We are now together as one once again.

But we still wish we got our secession
but now we are one nation, wishing we were our own
But today is the day
after all of this sin.

We wished we could of won this war,
our honor,
our nation,
but my fellow brother's and soldiers, this is Robert E. Lee's Sorrow.

Welcome to Pips!
My humble opinion is it was best for everyone the Union prevailed.
