During the long, freezing winter retreat of '62-'63, the two armies were camped on either side of the Rappahannock, within easy earshot.
The Union army decided it was a suitable moment to rehearse the band, which played its own patriotic tunes.
The Confederates across the river sang along with these tunes, just to tease the enemy. Eventually they were cheeky enough to ask for requests, and - incredibly - the band played 'I wish I were in Dixie' and other seditious lyrics.
Eventually the bandmaster decided that enough was enough, and ordered a last rendering of 'Home Sweet Home'.
Both sides suddenly realised what was coming (the terrible Battle of Chancellorsville) and they just choked up. Nobody could sing a word.
So - apart from that, I would say that successful blockade-running must have been a big High (offering lovely women their first silk stockings for years).
And some of that espionage, also involving beauiful but flawed ladies.
(I'm still waiting for an answer to my question: were there any successful male spies dressed as women?)
