Abstract:

Music was an integral part of people's lives before, during, and following the Civil War. Men drafted into service brought with them music from their region which mixed with songs, sounds, and styles from across America. Songs would be an emotional outlet during the Civil War, whether to stir troops with a rallying tune or mourn death through somber ballad.
