Fort Sumpter
Fort Sumpter was the pre-battle of the Civil War. It was bomed but luckily nobody inside was hurt. General Beauregard won. This battle was a special one! General Beauregard saw his teacher (who surrendered to him). It was a special pre-battle of the Civil
War. (April 12, 1861) -
Battle of First Bull Run/First Manassas
There was a canon shooting cannonballs. This was a bloody battle. The men cried in fear, while there were men cheering. The Union men cheered as they thought it was a quick victorious victory. But as the Confederate men ran, there was a man. "Still as a stonewall." A general discribed. The Union were confused. Soon, the Confederates did the "Rebel call" and scared the Union away. This was the first but not the only Confederate victory. -
Seven Days Battle
Day 1: The battle had just begun. Already, men were scared.
Day 2: It was getting worse. Some men already feared to battle the Confederates.
Day 3: Some men were already too scared and are on thier way home.
Day 4: No good. But getting more worse.
Day 5 & 6: Like the same. Bloody and screaming of terror.
Day 7: Not good. McClellan and his retreating army retreats. Union defeated. The Confederates have won, again. -
Second Battle of Bull Run/Manassas
General John Pope say an eerie glow outside. The Confederates were coming but his army wasn't ready yet! Then a cannonball shot out of a cannon. Screaming, and terror took his hope away. The Confederates had one of the best generals of America! How would he defeat them? Days past as they fought and fought, but they were all tired. Apparently, too much men were wounded for the Union. This was a smashing victory for the Confederates. Another disappointment for the Union. -
Battle of Fredericksburg
The nasty war was going on for so long, so many soldiers were dead. Now that their families know, the days had became even sadder. The bloody war is still going, and both sides are really tired by now. Last night, a couple soldiers snuck away. They were going home to celebrate Christmas. The journey would be long, and they knew that, so they left early without being noticed by anyone else but me. Then a canonball shot out. Screaming, and horror filled the field. When will this war be over? -
Battle of Chancellorsville
Its been 2 long years of the war already. Some men gave up and went home. New General Joseph Hooker was now in command.And the Confederates' Genral Robert. E. Lee was also ready. General Hooker crossed a river about 10 miles from Fredericksburg and went to battle while the Confederates were patiently waiting, and ready for them. At the end, Hooker retreated, but this would be Lee's last great vctory. -
Robert E. Lee Surrenders to Ulysses S. Grant
The war has lasted for four years, the men are all tired. Until the one who shall surrender, the other one shall win. Then there will be peace. Both sides are daring to win. None are yet to give to give up in four years. But one day Confederate General Robert E. Lee decides it is time, the war has lasted for so long. I will surrender. Grant sent me the letter. I will surrender to stop this bloodshed.
Grant's view:
He sent the letter. This is it. Thwe war will end. -
The Assassination of Abraham Licoln
The audience aplauded. They were watching a show called "Our American Cousin". There was another huge applause with combinations of laughter. Then BOOM! Our president was gone.
Sometime earlier: The show had just begun. Our president Lincoln just arrived with his wife and a young major. The shiow began. The audience laugghed and cried and cheered. But in a moment, BOOM! The assassination had began. We all brought our president to a house. This was a sad moment. A very sad moment.
