the antiwar copperhead, democrats and as these soldiers are moored in place, especially after fredericksburg and those winter encampments on north bank of the rappahannock river, there news from home. and there are learning about this mounting antiwar and it clarifies for them exactly what's at stake in the war and begin sending resolutions back the hometown newspaper saying we want to stay out and fight this through to a victorious conclusion. you know the army the potomac was notoriously politically fractious but these two experiences i think the aftermath of antietam and then the aftermath of fredericksburg and the coincide dates of these events with growing sediments on the home front i think served to promote an ironic sense of unity among the rank in the file that that really comes to full flower. then in summer of 1863, when the army the potomac is a very, very different of fighting machine than it was in the early months of the war. yes, in the back. so the topic of desensitization is very interesting to me. so i was wondering during your research if you happen to find any primary so

katie from fredericksburg wrote, i work directly with families through the head start program in stafford county. a shutdown to include so many important social services will be devastating to so many families i see and serve every day. it's interesting that katie, whose own husband is a federal employee, does not write about her own family but writes about other families relying on head start services. mary lives in virginia but whose husband is overseas in the foreign service, writes, it's a huge problem for my family to go without pay for an unknown period of time. i have a son with a chronic illness whose medications are very expensive. this could impact our ability to purchase his medications. as a foreign service family, we spend every day representing our nation and making sacrifices on behalf of our nation. we hope that congress will do the same and work hard to resolve the issue before the deadline later this week. lauren from glenn allen where i live in richmond wrote in and shared that government shutdowns are the reason she's lost faith in the system. in a letter to my office
