Introduction
The Civil War was 4 years full of blood, casualty, sacrifice, accomplishment, and defeat. It was brother against brother, fighting in the same nation over something that was splitting it in two: slavery. The north fought for the equality of man, but the south fought to hold onto their slaves. Many battles took place during that time, but today you are going to discover the details of one and bring it to life.
