Dropping like flies - 72,000 overdoses ...

Doubt that song was sung by Confederate soldiers. Great Humanitarian Abe Lincoln embargoed either during the war, despite a personal appeal from Jeff Davis. Unless there was a Southern lab capable of making morphine (doubtful, I think), wounded Confederates bit the bullet.

It is indeed a Union song. When I taught college History, I taught three things first when it came to the Civil War -- a song (Soldier's Joy), a poem (Little Griffin) and a story -- the Angel of Marye's Heights.
