1. William T. Sherman!* By: Brandy Gulledge

2. Quote$x!* An Army is a collection of armed men obliged to obey one man. Every change in the rules which impairs the principle weakens the army. Courage - a perfect sensibility of the measure of danger, and a mental willingness to endure it I know I had no hand in making this war, and I know I will make moren sacrifices to-day than any of you to secure peace If nominated, I will not run; if elected, I will not serve. My aim then was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. There's many a boy here today who looks on war as all glory but it is all hell. War is the remedy that our enemies have chosen, and I say let us give them all they want.

4. Fact$x!* HHe never was in charge of a major Union victory and his military career had repeated ups and downs, but William T. Sherman is the second best known of Northern commanders. His father had died when he was nine years old, and Sherman was raised by Senator Thomas Ewing and eventually married into the family. TThe years until the Civil War were not filled with success. Living in California and Kansas, he failed in banking and the law. In 1859 he seemed to have found his niche as the superintendent of a military academy which is now Louisiana State University. However, he resigned this post upon the secession of the state and went to St. Louis as head of a streetcar company and then volunteered for the Union army. bborn in Lancaster Ohio feb 8 th 1820 DDied new York city feb 14 th 1891

5. Battle$x!* Battle of bulls run-The gathering of Confederate troops at Manassas junction required prompt and vigorous movements for the defense of Washington, D. C. Beauregard was there with the main Confederate army, and Gen. J. E. Johnston was at Winchester, in the Shenandoah Valley, with a large body of troops, with which he might reinforce the former. Gen. Robert Patterson was at Martinsburg with 18,000 Nationals to keep Johnston at Winchester. Shiloh (Pittsburg Landing),- After the capture of Fort Donelson in 1862. General Grant prepared to push towards Corinth, an important position at the intersection of the Charleston and Memphis, Mobile and Ohio railways. Possession of that point would give the National troops control of the great railway communications between the Mississippi and the East, and the border slave-labor States and the Gulf of Mexico. Passing up the Tennessee River, the main body of Grant's troops were encamped, at the beginning of April, between Pittsburgh Landing, on that stream, and Shiloh Meeting House, in the forest, 2 miles from the river bank.
