| Jon giving a lecture |
His name is Jon LeMonte. Right now he's talking about why he's fighting. It was because he wanted to protect his loved ones. His job before the war was a farmer. His rank was Private and his unit was Company G, 10th Louisiana Infantry Regiment. His family consists of 3 sisters, 2 brothers and 1 sweetheart<3. His sisters keep the farm going and
his brothers also fight in the war.

In the Civil War, they had a 3-day supply of food. It was a cracker called Hard Tack. They had different nicknames for it. Their favorite drink was coffee. What they would do was make coffee, dip the cracker in it so the cracker wouldn't be hard anymore and eat it. Simone volunteered and her and Jon did a re-enactment of how they would have to steal food in order for them to have something good to eat. It was funny. xD He also said that in the war, there were bad living conditions and that it was also boring. All they did was breakfast, march and drill. lunch, march and drill, dinner, march and drill. They played games and sang during their free time.
They carried all kinds of stuff into battle and hoped they wouldn't die. Bell's ringing in two minutes so bye bye. (:
