Is it true there is a Christmas Carol that was originally about the American Civil War? If so then what carol and who wrote it?
Excuse me, I shouldn't have capitalized carol. I meant carol in the sense of a song, not in the sense of the Dickens story. That is my fault, not yours.

Not possible. It was written in 1843 by Victorian novelist Charles Dickens. It had nothing to do with the US.

Ah... hense my mild confusion. Christmas carols date back far, far past the American Civil War. There may well have been a few written during the Civil War, but many date back centuries. For instance, Hark! The Herald Angels Sing dates to sometime in the 1700s. Joy to the World around early 1700s.
If anyone did write a carol as a result of the Civil War, it would have been Longfellow. He was a pacifist and his poem Christmas Bells (written I think in 1864) was set to music. That might be the one you are thinking of. The song is now called I heard the Bells on Christmas Day.

No. A few people did at times re-praise several verses of a variety of Christmas Carols during the American Civil War, but these were local, small-scale and temporary.

California replaced into no longer in contact because of the fact it replaced into so far faraway from the action and replaced into already a loose a loose state so this is only contribution could have been tax money for the union and probably some food for the infantrymen. Missouri replaced into easily in contact in the conflict and the Missouri Compromise easily began to warmth up the controversy over slavery. Louisiana replaced into in contact and had some battles there and replaced into considered mandatory to the union' approach because of the fact the needed to divide the south in the process the Mississippi River. different areas of the west have been in contact albeit no longer as a lot because of the fact no longer many considerable battles handed off in a lot of those states. additionally those states have been far faraway from the authentic action with the aid of there relative distance from the biggest cities on the east coast and incredibly low populations
