War Memorial to the northern victims of Mr. Lincoln's War on the square in Easton. Here we see the south face of the monument which bears the names of three of the larger horrors of the war - Antietam, Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville - as well as the names of two of the great butchers and arsonists of the period - Sherman and Sheridan - men who were unexcelled in the murder of women and children of all races. I call the men whose sacrifices are memorialized here victims because they were, for the most part, ignorant of the true causes for which they were asked to kill and to die.
