This shows the &#8220;human face&#8221; in this war in a way that black and white photos don&#8217;t fully capture. Photos of casualties included.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jugp3Bm8bAs\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">?<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This next video appears to be spliced from different scenes from two different videogames. One of these videos is land war-centric, and the other is sea war-centric. In addition to showing people fighting, it also shows casualties.

There is one account that I read where newly freed men constructed a new graveyard. They went to a mass grave containing Union dead. They unearthed many of the remains and transported them. The destination?<\/p>\n<p>A new graveyard that they constructed for this purpose. Then, they held services giving the Soldiers a proper Christian burial. They followed this with a parade that ended at the new graveyard. By the time the activities were done, flowers and flower petals blanketed the new graves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Memorial Day traces many of its roots to the aftermath of the Civil War.
