Young Soldiers Die In Battle
'Southern troops met with disastrous results when they tried to defend the town of Resaca, this morning. Young Southern soldiers were
the only available help that could be rushed to General Johnston. Fighting against General Sherman's tough soldiers, the inexperienced
Confederate division was crushed. For the young fighters, many of whom had just joined up and were still in their teens, the battle
was over before it began. Completely defenseless in the rain of bullets, the Confederaes were cut down unmercifully. Surrender was
the only way for them to survive, but the Southern boys fought bravely on. The Northern soldiers wrecked Resaca and moved onward to
meet further Confederate opposition.'
