The Civil War A summary of a war against brothers.

Background Information For years, the North and South had been conflict over land and politics. Northern states were growing in industry and population. The rural South depended on African American slavery. The North despised slavery. Abraham Lincoln, a Northerner was elected President. Southerners saw him as an enemy, a threat to their way of life. So much so that they started to secede from the Union to create an independent nation. America was broken. To Northerners it was a Civil War or the War of the Rebellion. Southerners called it the War of Southern independence. The North fought to save the Union, the South to create a new nation.

Why it all Started!

Battle of Antietam Antietam was a bloody battle in Maryland that ended Lee’s first invasion of the North. September 17, 1862 would be the bloodiest day in the Civil War. (23,000 casualties) Antietam is still the bloodiest day in American History!

Battle of Gettysburg The Battle of Gettysburg was a battle in 1863 in Pennsylvania when Union forces stopped the Confederate invasion of the North. The South would never recover from it’s loss at Gettysburg The crippled Confederate Army then escaped the Potomac into Virginia. Lincoln would later make his most famous speech here, the Gettysburg Address Gettysburg Address

Siege of Vicksburg The Siege of Vicksburg was the surrounding of the city of Vicksburg, Mississippi, by Union forces. While the city was surrounded, Grant prevented the delivery of food and supplies. The city was also under constant bombardment. After nearly a month and a half, the city surrendered and the tide of the war turned in favor of the North.

War’s End After Vicksburg, Grant pursued Lee in Virginia. Lee continued to flee from fighting because he knew the situation was hopeless. His men were tired, starving, and lacked the supplies for battle. Lee would later send a letter to General Grant that he was ready to surrender. April 9, 1865 in the small town of Appomattox Court House, Virginia, the Civil War would come to an end.
