The Biggest Choir Ever in History:&nbsp;The following true story took place between 8:00-9:00PM on December 30, 1862, at Stone&rsquo;s River, Tennessee.
Stone&rsquo;s River was important for both sides, and there were about 81,000 soldiers on both sides, and before the Battle was over 23,000 of them were killed. 23,000.
But at about 8&amp;#160;pm on the evening of December 30, 1862, something special happened that soldiers from both sides would tell their grandchildren. The two generals had gotten together and agreed upon a truce of sorts, before the battle resumed the next day. The Union band started playing songs, a common occurrence and a pick-me-up for northern soldiers. The Confederates were close enough to hear and would yell across the empty fields. In the cold and damp winter, mostly shoeless Confederates who would yell &ldquo;That&rsquo;s a great one,&rdquo; across the field and finally &ldquo;Play some of ours!!&rdquo; to remind them of home.&nbsp;The songs were&nbsp;&ldquo;Dixie&rdquo;and &ldquo;Bonnie Blue Flag.&rdquo;&nbsp;Finally, the Union band broke into &ldquo;Home Sweet Home,&rdquo;&nbsp;a national favorite.&nbsp;As the band played,&nbsp;nearly every single one of the 81,000 soldiers began singing along. On the eve of a day that brought certain death to so many. This is still called the biggest choir ever in history.
