ABOUT GOD DIDN’T CHOOSE SIDES:
There have been hundreds of books, movies and songs created about the battles, presidents, generals & heroes as told in our history books about the Civil War. However, rarely do we hear the stories on a personal level of the unsung heroes who gave their lives or had their lives totally turned upside down or 
adversely changed during the War Between the States which has had such an important impact on our American culture and historical foundation.
GOD DIDN’T CHOOSE SIDES focuses on the common men and women who were thrown together into the realities and horrors of war and displayed amazing acts of kindness, selflessness, faith, love and brotherhood to their fellow Americans. Among the sites the songs draw their historical storylines from includes events at Gettysburg in Pennsylvania; Savannah and Andersonville in Georgia, Franklin in Tennessee, Vicksburg in Mississippi, Rapidan River in Virginia, Columbus in Ohio and more.
