There was trouble in 1864
Most famously in the US of A
Where they were nearing the end of their war
Between the slave states in Confederate grey
And Union soldiers in blue, on the way
To victory, trampling the grapes of wrath
As Sherman did on that March to the Sea
From Atlanta to Savannah. The path
To white settlement of New Zealand with
Its green hills and mountains was blocked before
And after by hostile Maori tribes. They
Elected their own king. Some fought til death...
Danish and Prussian wooden ships fought for
Control of Schleswig-Holstein in the bay
