The first battle of Bull Run/Mannassas
This is where ''Stonewall'' Jackson earned his nickname ''Stonewall''.For standing as still as a Stonewall. The Confederates had a victory at the first battle of Bull Run. The Confederates (South) called it the battle of Mannassas after the closest body of land. The Union (North) called it the after the closest body of water the Bull Run Creek. -
The Merrimack vs. The Moniter
These incredible iron-clad ships fought to a draw, while these ships were made all the wooden ships around the world felt useless. Ther first iron-clad ships to be made. Sadly while the Moniter was swimming around happy as can be, a storm hit, the ship went down. Killing many. A few people noticed this and pulled the ship out of the water. Today they are still putting the Moniter back together. The Merrimack survived, you can see the Merrimack today. -
What Happened near Hampton Roads?
Some people think the battle of Hampton Roads was the Union vs. the Confederates hand to hand battles. Is it true? No way. It even isn't called the battle of Hampton Roads. Its the Moniter vs. the Merrimack and it happened in SEA not on LAND. The battle was a DRAW the CONFEDERATES DID NOT WIN. -
Battle of Antietam
Lee needs boots and food for the soilders. He sends soilders to look for any spare food and shoes anyone can give. While the soilders are walking they spot some UNION soilders! The soilders run back to warn Lee so Lee decides to send his troops over there. It turned out the Union had ALOT more soilders so of course the Union won. -
Chancersville
The Confederates won Chancersville but, ''Stonewall'' Jackson was shot twice in the right arm. He was shot by his OWN men. His arm was to shot up to save. So they cut it off. He started to feel better but then it got infected. Lee said '' Jackson has lost his right arm, but I lost my left. That was not his exact words but it was very close to that. they cut off his arm May 3 1863 he died after that battle. -
Vicksburg
The Union won. This Battle took place in Gettysburg, near the Missisipi. Lee lost. The Confederate troops were slowly dying Gettysburg was ALMOST the bloodiest battle of the war. Sadly they could not get more troops. The Union could get as many troops as they wanted. -
Gettysburg
Many were lost, almost the bloodiest battle of the war. The Confederates (south) lost and the Union (north) celebrated a victory. Gettysburg was the first victory for the Union (north) but everytime a soilder went down. The Union (north) could go get more soilders. The Confederates (south) couldn't give a single soilder to the Confederates (south) -
Appomatox Court House part: 2
So Lee really knew he had to think hard. Did he really want to do it? Did he really want to surrender? Finally he made his choice. He realluy didn't want to waste for confederate lives. He wrote a note to Grant. So Grant borrowed a Uniform and rode on his horse as fast as he could to Appomatox Court House. When someone surrenders to Grant he takes EVERYTHING. This time Grant was so amased that the -
Appomatox Court House part: 3
Confederates kept fighting. He took arms not sidearms but arms. Then flags. This was a big deal because Grant never did this. He rode out of Appomatox Court House and everyone started cheering. Still he ORDERD there would be NO cheering at ALL. So that was the End of the Civil War. -
Appomatox Court House part: 1
Lee surrendered, the war ended. Lee didn't really see the point to torture his men there were barley any soliders for the Confederates (south) that still had boots. Also he didn't have alot of men left. They were either sick of hungry. Lee was sick a few time during the war. Sometimes that because the men would eat anything. Uncooked meat would make them sick and so would not ripe fruits. During Gettysburg Lee ate a unripe fruit. -
Abraham Lincoln Asassanation
One of the last pictures taken of Abraham Lincoln. He was shot in the head by John Wilkes Booth. Rathbone (a person who came with Abraham Lincoln to Fords Theatre) Was injured (scraped with the sword John Wilkes Booth brought incase). Honestly I think Booth was CRAZY to shoot the PRESIDENT if he had anger issues he should have learned to tame them. Plus when Booth shot Abraham Lincoln Booth jumped from this thing that looked like a padeio and broke his left leg. -
Talking and Fighting about the war
The war didn't begin yet, in the picture people are talking about the war. -
Fort Sumter
Fort Sumter was fired opon early in the morning. Barley anyone was harmed. Though there was alot of bombing and fighting. The Confederates fired opon Fort Sumter because Abraham Lincoln didn't want anyone to blame him if he was the first to fire. -
Second battle of Bull Run/Mannassas
The Confederates had another victory. Many were lost, Union soliders were losing Lee was winnning. This was just the begining. The Confederates won many battles. The Union just won a few. Sometimes you need to lose small battles to win the war. -
