Chapter Of Night is a retrospective of the "Great Divide" known as The Civil War which took place in America between April 12, 1861 and April 14, 1865.
The War pitted the Northern Industrial society with its crowded immigrant poulations stretching the boundaries westward into new territories and the static Southern Aggrarian life of Plantations and slave labour. It became clear that the anathema of Slavery could not continue.
Two worlds colliding with a winner take all outcome.
The South had 18,000 factories to the North's 100,000. The population of The South was 10 million, 3 million which were slaves.
This CD does not villify the vanquished nor praise the victor. It merely tells stories of the struggles and courage of this most terrible tragedy.
It brings into sharp focus the need for critical thinking in order to avoid history's mistakes and prevent the repeat of such a catastrophy.




Twin brothers join opposite sides and meet at Antietam, Sept. 1862. Antietam was the bloodiest single day battle of the Civil War. More casualties happened there than D-Day in WW11.
born in the Mississippi delta
was the spring of '45
huntin and fishin
glad to be alive

16 years blows by like the wind
brought a violent hurricane
felt the call like writin on the wall
he went north and i remained

we never needed a cause kept runnin
we was just like each other
my eyes gray my brother's were blue
no more places to hide prepared to die
facin each other
we believed what they told us was true
til i saw my steel blade shine through ya
there at Antietam

Stonewall stood like a giant could
Federals held the land
towns we'd been i was lookin for my kin Cedar Mountain to Washington
7 long days in the Valley i claim put years upon our heads
1 day singin and rejoicin the next day you're lyin dead

we never needed a cause kept runnin
we was just like each other
my eyes gray my brother's were blue
no more places to hide prepared to die
facin each other
we believed what they told us was true
til i saw my steel blade shine through ya
there at Antietam

oh my brother lost & found
planted firmly in this hallowed ground

so many years, trials and fears
memories linger on
courage fades, medals rust away
my time is almost done

so long ago nothing much to know
we just whiled away our days
late last night i heard my brothers voice
i swore i saw his face

we never needed a cause kept runnin
we was just like each other
my eyes gray my brother's were blue
no more places to hide prepared to die
facin each other
we believed what they told us was true
til i saw my steel blade shine through ya
there at Antietam
