I LOVE the Civil War (learning about it). I am a FREAK about it give me a date i will know the battle give me a battle i will know something that ended on the same day. Did you know 5,000 horses total died in the civil war? Gettysburg and Vicksburg ended on the same day. General Ulysses S. Grant's plan for ending the war was Total War or Scorched Earth. Pickets charge was pretty much a suiside atempt for General Lee's men. I also am a little bit of a freak over World War II (again learning about it) but not nearly as much the Civil War. Did you know Lincoln had a confederate dollar in his pocket when he was assassinated? Well i think that is all TO SCHOOL FOR ONLY 4 MORE WEEKS AND 17 MORE DAYS!!!!

ReplyDeleteThe Minie Ball was a vast (and unfortunate) improvement in black powder rifle ammunition design, and changed the course of warfare for all that followed.
ReplyDeleteIf you're a history buff, you might enjoy "America:The story of us" on the History Channel. An excellent series, that one.
Well if you like the Civil War... have you watched "Gone with the Wind"?
