The Battle of Gettysburgh ended on this day in 1863. It was the high-water mark of the Rebellion of the Slavers.
163 years later, a Southern sympathizer who would have surrendered to the South inhabits the White House. No doubt he regards the Union victory as a tragedy. Fuck that guy.
The following day, Vicksburgh surrendered. The Englishmen pressuring their government to support the Confederacy gave up. Four months later, President Lincoln gave what may be the greatest speech goiven by an American president.
Hurrah for the Union!
And fuck this guy, his co-defendants, those who sent him there and those who support what they did.

Left out were the 4th and 5th verses
I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of steel:
"As ye deal with my contemners, so with you my grace shall deal;
Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel,
Since God is marching on."
Chorus—Glory, glory, hallelujah, &c.
Since God is marching on.
He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat:
He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgement seat:
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! be jubilant my feet!
Our God is marching on!
Chorus—Glory, glory, hallelujah, &c.
Our God is marching on!
and Ward's initially unpublished 6th verse, which rings steel on Trump & Co:
He is coming like the glory of the morning on the wave,
He is wisdom to the mighty, He is honor to the brave;,
So the world shall be His footstool, and the soul of wrong His slave,,
Our God is marching on.
