civil war1
Small battles to big battles, no matter where it was fought, many of our soldiers died, for there side. There were many problems that lead to the Civil War. One issue was the spread of slavery to the west (the territory where they won from the Mexican War). The South claim that the slaves where properties and wanted to take there properties with them. The North didn't want that to happen. Also they wanted to make new states into slaves states and some into free states. Since they couldn't compromise there where conflicts between the two sides. The South wanted to break away from the states and make its own country. So then they declared war. The North wanted to fight because they know that if they do win they can reunite with each other. Then if the South do win, they will be the Confederates States, which is there own country. There where many things going on at the same time. Small battles where fought and slaves where free during the process and many soldiers were caught and became prisoners. At the North side, they had slaves joining the army in free will and they where cooks, laborers, and etc. But at the end of the war about 10 percent where fighting. Many poor people say that it was a rich man war and a poor
mans fight. Well this was true. Many of the rich people of both north and south paid there way out of it or if they had 20 or more slaves they wouldn't have to join the army. The South had many volunteers and some had to be sent back home because the lack of weapons. The North had plenty and they had soldiers coming when another soldier is gone. The North general was Grant but there was more general before him. The South had Robert E Lee and he was one of the best general ever. They graduated in West Point and once fought together during the Mexican War. At the end of the war they finally get to meet each other and it was a war that's going to last. They fought and fought and the North brought everything at the South and the South just defend themselves and in times they fought back and took some soldiers. But yet the North was too much for them. At the last battle the South brought everything against the north and it lasted 3 days. The biggest Southern army every with the best general every lost trying to invade the North. There the South surrendered and the war was over. Else where during the war was destroyed and many lives where taken. The small things that happen for one showed many people that this is harsh and very cruel. One general took his troops and marched a longs way destroying everything they could to show the people that the war was bad. This worked and many people wanted the war to be stop. Many peopled died because of disease, starvation, illness, and shots to the head. This was one of the most bloodiest battle ever fought between the two sides. After all of this ended, the two brother state finally reunite and hopefully it will get better. There were many strategies by the north general and South and i'll also talk about the two general themselves. Also about the emancipation proclamation. The two men where very smart.
