By 1864 the Union troops were closing in on the Confederacy. Major ports and cities had been taken over. North Carolina and the port at Wilmington were becoming major targets for the Union army and in November, 1864 a plan was put into place to move Union troops for the first assault on Fort Fisher. In a letter written by Richard Delafield, general and chief engineer for the U.S. Army, Delafield discusses the plan for the destruction and the capture of Fort Fisher and Fort Caswell. Fort Caswell was located on Oak Island, south of Fort Fisher, but also protecting the entrance to the Cape Fear River. Delafield’s letter details the strategy for the destruction of Fort Fisher:

The Battle of Gettysburg was fought by the largest number of soldiers, totaling 172,000 young men (“American Civil War”). During the Civil War, our nation was divided by the North (Union Army) and the South (Confederate Army) for opposing viewpoints on slavery and states’ rights. The Battle of Gettysburg was fought over three long, arduous days. The soldiers struggled under their respected generals in a 25 mile battle zone (“American Civil War”). This battle was a triumphant victory and a heart-wrenching loss for the troops of the Yankee North and Rebel South. The complexity of the Battle of Gettysburg brought together two fronts whose decisions and commitment would determine its outcome.

The battle of Charleston was the worst defeat and most important battle of the revolutionary war, Lexington and Concord started it all, that's not the only battle that matters. The battle took place in present day Charleston, North Carolina. It is located at the delta of Ashley river and Cooper River which flow into the Atlantic Ocean. The British being in South Carolina caused a civil war in the colony and the colony was deeply divided between Loyalist and Patriots. During the battle both sides used the land to their advantage by using the water and things to help them. The British came in from different directions to attack. The city was such a big deal because of it being along the coast. Being along the coast of the Atlantic Ocean would help them do many things easier like ships being able to unload right at the town and it would be easier to transport soldiers. The British wanted Charleston so they could turn it into a war base.

The Battle of Chelsea Creek, also known as the Battle of Noddle’s Island, Battle of Hog Island, and the Battle of the Chelsea Estuary, took place on May 27 and 28, 1775 in Suffolk County, Massachusetts.

The Battle of Santa Rosa Island began as an attempt by the Confederate Army to seize the peninsula stronghold of Fort Pickens, FL during the infancy of the American Civil War. By most accounts it ended with the hasty retreat of combatant Confederate forces to mainland Florida and the reassurance of Union ground troop supremacy in the region.(Harpers Journal***) Despite the Confederate Army leadership’s attempts to discredit and downplay the Union Army’s decisive victory and dominance on the battlefield at Santa Rosa Island, historic accounts to the contrary have been all but wiped from existence and the accounts of the day’s events have been potrayed as such. Commanding officers reports vary and detailed information concerning both Union and

The American Civil War is still referred to by historians as one of the bloodiest stains on the nation’s sociopolitical landscape. From beginning to end, the normal fanfare of atrocities that any war brings such as poverty, starvation, and bloodshed were made more gruesome by the reality that neighbors were fighting neighbors and brothers raising arms against one another. Caught between both sides was an entire race of people; though there were many political ideologies involved, the issue of slavery and the rights of African Americans lit the fuse and kept the fire burning. Incidents involving the terrorizing of black Americans were numerous throughout the course of the Civil War, though none was more controversial than the Confederate

Roanoke Island is an island in North Carolina. It was, at one time, a colony that was founded by England. It was very small, accommodating only around a hundred colonists total. However, this colony mysteriously disappeared with no real clue as to what happened. There are many theories on what could have happened to the colony, though no one currently knows for sure. More theories keep being created based on findings that modern day scientists have been able to gather. This mystery is one that people even today are still attempting to solve.

President Abraham Lincoln once said at Gettysburg, “Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, upon this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal."

It started on April 12, 1861, and ended on May 9, 1865.
