But it must be done. I'm planning out my newest story which is *le gasp* not Fantasy or sci-fi or magical. It is a lovely historical fiction which is something I NEVER write. So we'll see how this turns out. Anyways it's set in the Civil War. So if anyone has some cool info that would be very much appreciated. Hang on let me grab my real list. Okay....
- Civil War Battles
- Divisions of the Confederate Soilders
- Conditions for Confederate Soilders
- Conditions after the War in North and South

Ooohhh this isn't my strong spot. I never did good in US History but my boyfriend is like crazy over the Confederacy. I do know that the confederate flag has 13 stars though! :3 If that means anything... *ponders*
Obviously the Civil War was in 1812... right? Is that right? The War of 1812 was the Civil War, wasn't it? Urrrr I told you I don't know this stuff...

It's okay but umm, *goes to google* its 1861 so no not the War of 1812. The War of 1812 was between Great Britain and the U.S. and the president didn't want to go into it because Britain had a very strong army and one of the strongest Navy Seal peoples in the world. While we barely had a Navy. It was mainly started because American sailors would be captured by the British who would say it was a british citizen that had illegally immigrated. But when the U.S. finally won the war this was not included in the treaty and it still happened.  I know all that because my U.S. History teacher teaches us like we're juniors because it was her first year teaching 8th grade. Anyways, yeah. |

um...there are 50 states. and 50 stars. one short, but nice try.  let's see...there was the first and later, second battle of bull run. or, as the confederates said battle of manassas. And...well, those two are the only ones I can remember names for. the first one was on July 21, 1861 near Manassas, Virginia. good luck finding more information! i do remember that the union made it really hard for the south to rejoin the US. Abraham Lincoln wanted to make it easy for them, but he died, so the south had a hard time. |
