Some explinationans: The reason Fate has the words 'bring him home' has to do with the musical Les Miserables. If you've seen the 10th or 25th anniversary version of it, odds are you remember Valjian singing the song 'Bring Him Home' about Marius-and later the music of the song plays while panning over the corpses on the barricade. Let's just say that made an impression on me. The 'Anger' one is a picture of Georgia women rioting. 'Battle' is 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry Regiment fighting in the Second Battle of Fort Wagner. Also, the memorable moments are, from 1st to 5th, the First Battle of Bull Run, Antietam, the Emancipation Proclamation, and the Appomattox Courthouse. Obviously, there are many memorable moments that I could've put in, the entire Western Front was neglected, Shiloh, Forts Henry and Donaldson, Vicksburg, etc, as was the Grant-Lee battles of attrition such as the Wilderness and Sherman's battles in the southeast such as Atlanta.

Usual rules apply. 1. Don't hotlink 2. Credit is lovely

Lovely job! I'm a big Civil War buff and Abraham Lincoln fan, so I definitely appreciate these. I think you made some really nice choices as far as what to include.
