"The art of war is simple enough. Find out where your enemy is. Get at him as soon as you can. Strike him as hard as you can, and keep moving on."
Fought from 1861-1865, the American Civil War was the United States's bloodiest conflict. The battle was a clash against the Union against the Confederate States of America and resulted in the death of more than 620,000, with millions more injured.One of the main causes of the Civil War was slavery. Another cause might have been for the Union to get their land back.
In any case, the Civil War was fought. While the South had amazing generals such as Robert E. Lee and Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson, the Union was struggling to find a perfect one. Meanwhile, when the Civil War began, Grant decided to join the U.S. Army. After his victories at Shiloh and Vicksburg, Lincoln decides to promote Grant to a brigadier general. Even though the South fought ferociously, the Civil War ended with Lee's surrender at Appomattox Court House, Virginia. |
