Losses High As Feds Lose Battle
'Defeat at White Oak Swamp today has brought the startling realization that the Union has definitely underestimated the spirit and
fortitude of the Confederate fighters. Once considered hardly a match for the "fierce Union Army," the Rebels have convinced the
nation that they can hold their own on any military battlefield. Today's defeat was another in a long line of losses which the
Union troops have suffered during the current Virginia campaign. Fighting erupted suddenly at noon and lasted for three hours.
Bodies carpeted the swampland and blood dyed the foliage a bright red. President Lincoln is fearful for the safety of Washington,
now that the Confederate Army has revealed its real strength.'
