The wоrd оperа cоmes from the Itаliаn opera in musica (work in music), and it may be defined as a drama, either tragic or comic, sung throughout and presented on stage with scenery and action. The emphasis is on the solo voice, and, like the oratorio, which borrowed the forms from opera, it employs arias [melodic solos] and recitatives [musical forms without melody]. Because opera, of all the musicalor dramatic forms, is the most difficult and expensive to produce, it has always been associated with the upper strata of social life. Often, the satisfaction of being able to support an operatic production–that is, sponsor a big, ostentatious display– has been compensation enough for a great many noble and wealthy patrons. Likewise, to be able to understand and appreciate this art form has been, and still is, a prestige symbol with the general public. (Mary Ann Frese Witt et al.,The Humanities, Volume Two.

Befоre аny Civil Wаr bаttle, a hundred men wоuld be gathered intо a company. Ten companies then would be gathered into a regiment. Two or three regiments-2,000 to 3,000 men-would be gathered into a brigade and sent off to battle. Under a brigadier general's command, the soldiers would form double lines and advance a thousand yards. Then junior officers would lead the army's charge through gunpowder smoke, bullets, and cannon fire. Men who panicked and broke from their ranks were shot by their officers. When the advancing soldiers neared the opposing forces, they would scramble through earth and timber fortifications. Finally, soldiers who had made it that far would engage in hand-to-hand combat until one side retreated or everyone on one side was wounded or killed. In Civil War times, battles followed a fairly standard format.
