The First Battle of Bull Run The Union troops attempted to seize Manassas, VA, an important railroad. Meanwhile, the Confederate troops were awaiting the Union’s arrival at Bull Run. The First Battle of Bull Run was the first large battle in the Civil War and the Confederates gained a victory.

The Peninsular Campaign As the commander of the Union Army, General McClellan sent troops to attack from the Atlantic Coast towards Richmond, and ended up in Yorktown, just east of Richmond. Fighting ferociously, McClellan continued to defeat the Union until General Joseph E Johnston took control , the later during the war, General Robert E Lee took over the Confederate Army.

The Battle of Antietam While on their way to their next battle, a Confederate messenger dropped a copy of the Confederates plans and divisions. A Union soldier spotted the copy and took them to the Union general, General Grant. Grant saw that the Confederates had been divided, therefore giving him an opportunity to attack. The Union quickly took the advantage and attacked. After a long day of fighting, the battle ended in a draw.

The Battle of Shiloh The Battle of Shiloh occurred soon after the Union had divided into the East and West. General Grant led his army through the woods only to find that the Confederates were there to attack near Shiloh. This battle lasted two days with many casualties. And even though the Union won, the Union lost more troops than the Confederates.

The Battle of Chancellorsville Rising hope in the South lead to another defeat in Chancellorsville after Stonewall Jackson was shot by another Union troop, being mistaken for a Yankee.

Gettysburg As the Confederates moved North, they accidentally found the Union’s cavalry. The Confederates attacked, only to be defeated again by the Union, smothering Lee’s ambition to reach further up North.

The Fall of Atlanta At this time, Atlanta was an important city and railroad junction for the Confederacy. General Sherman, the new general of the Union army, led his army through the city, burning and seizing the town as they went.

Sherman’s March to the Sea General Sherman continued to burn the cities, making his way towards the sea. They tore up railroad tracks, burned towns, captured livestock, raided and burned homes, and destroyed anything they could find. They drove the Confederate Army straight out of the Atlantic port of Savannah, GA.

Surrender at Appomattox As Sherman continued his burning, the Confederates tried to stop the burning. They met in Petersburg, but Sherman still seized the Virginian town, and then Richmond the next day. They soon separated the Confederates and Lee finally surrendered with a white flag on a hill nearby Appomattox River.
