I saw several cannons that were used during battle. There were some on both sides indicating the Confederate and the Union side. Also, the cemetery, where soldiers, families, and veterans were buried. The cemetery was really big and I did not expect that. I think I saw somewhere at the site, it said there was more than 6,000 soldiers and about 1,000 veterans buried there. The Hazen Brigade Monument was also something that I saw and found interesting. I found this interesting because it said it was the oldest standing and intact monument from the Civil War era. This really impressed me because I did not know that we had something really historic in our state. It is amazing to think that Tennessee has something so precious and valuable on our land. There was a stand that had a little background about it and I read that 113 soldiers were killed and wounded in that

The U.S. Civil War was the deadliest war in United States history up until that time. The Civil War caused the deaths of over 600,000 people. The reasons for this are slavery, tariffs, and the Fugitive Slave Law. Slavery was a something that Southerners wanted, however most people in The North were not in favor of slavery. The Fugitive Slave Law let the people in The South search people’s homes for their missing slaves. This led up to The Civil War because of how unfair and pathetic the law was. Tariffs were passed in 1828 and 1832, which “raised the issue of the states’ rights. The next thing that was passed was the Fugitive Slave Law. This law made the people in The South able to “decide for themselves whether to be a slave or free by a vote.”

Both the Union and Confederate soldiers were motivated by liberty during the war. It was just two different meanings. The North believed it to be preserving the Union and abolishing the institution of slavery, but the South viewed it as maintaining their way of life and separating from the “tyrannical” North. Northerners also felt they had a duty to preserve the Union for future generations, while the southerners felt they had to protect themselves from the invading northerners. So honor and loyalty also played a role in motivating both the Union and Confederate soldiers. Bonds that were formed in camps also compelled the men to keep on fighting for each other. Religion was another factor since the men from both sides prayed to the same God, and each felt they were right in their beliefs. News from home would also effect the men’s motivation throughout the war.

The Civil War was one of America’s greatest battle the has happened in U.S. history. Now what if President Abraham Lincoln had lived? Now as many americans remember the event that happened at Ford Theater on April 14, 1865 right, but what if John Wilkes Booth missed his shot, or what if President Abraham Lincoln had stayed home instead of following his wife's wishes for a night of fun.

The Civil War often called the “first modern war” was a fundamental event in the American history. The Civil War resolved an essential issue that was not addressed by the revolution; whether slaves were included in the rights of Declaration of Independence which claimed that “all men were created equal”, or not. Although the war started with the purpose of preserving the Union, it ended up with termination of slavery in the United States. No one expected that the war would last for four years, as a result, both sides of the war, the Union and Confederate States, were not ready for the war. There was the issue of distributing food and weapons, and supplies to soldiers, as well as disease and lack of medical equipment. Although President Lincoln

Civil war, four long years of war between the North and South, was fought from 1861 to 1865. The main purpose of the war was to preserve the Union, which later changed to ending slavery. Thousands of people volunteered for this war but everyone had a different belief and goal. The soldiers for this war consisted of a large number of immigrants, women and even African Americans. The union soldiers (northerners) volunteered to fight for the country, they fought the war to defeat the new confederation formed by the southern states. The African American joined the Union soldiers to fight against the confederate who were pro-slavery. After the election of President Lincoln, the southern states refused to stay under the wing of United States of

The election of Abraham Lincoln accompanied with the economic and social difference between Souths and north created a rift with in the states. The dissent grew between union opponents and confederates resulting in to deadly civil war. “It began with fanfare of bugles and patriotic oratory, with both sides promising that it would be over in ninety days” (Oates, 364). It miss estimated by both sides whereby plunged into in exorable war. Young folks streamed to recruiting centers from both sides influenced by fellow friends and fascinating military pride. Both sides were not prepared militarily to participate nor had the experienced professional soldiers. The attack of

I didn’t prepare myself too much prior to my visit, due to the fact I really had nothing in mind that I thought I needed to do besides wear a good pair of tennis shoes to walk around the reservoir and of course bring a friend. I learned that the battlefield is considered 650 acres and around 23,515 men died during this three day period (Daniel). I had no idea this place was that big, and I definitely realized it once I begin exploring the land on foot. The scenery is such a beautiful place to just unwind, go for a jog, or have a peaceful environment to relax one day. The best part about the Stones River Battlefield is that it is free to the public to go and explore around to learn about the civil war.

The setting takes place in Hillsboro, a fictional town. This story takes place "not too long ago."

Visitors of all ages were encouraged to dress in costume for the festivities. Barrel train rides, a petting zoo and games were offered in addition to the usual market activities. The Norman fire department even made an appearance, offering a tour of one of their trucks.

The Heritage Day’s event had its usual features. The park circle was filled with stands of venders and organizations. Most stands lined the sides of the two sidewalks, and some others were placed on the edges. These included classics, such as the Angelica Booster’s (the event organizers) food tent, the raffle tent, the town newspaper’s tent, the Amish baked products tent, and the tent that sells a lot of books. They were also met by some newer vender’s, such as the community radio stand (which has been making it’s stage previously at the farmer’s market event’s, held in the park on Saturdays in the summer). The town library opened up its museum section for viewing. The museum section of the library opens only a few days out of the year to display the

Stones River Battlefield was an obvious choice for this assignment. I live and study in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. I know that there is a lot of history in the area, but it is not often that we encounter this history on a daily basis. It is important to know about the history because it helps us to understand the present and the culture of any area. I found that this battlefield was actually very important to the events of the Civil War, therefore, I knew that this would be a great place for me to visit for this assignment. There really is not that much literature readily available about the Battle of Stones River or the Battlefield. Therefore, taking the battlefield in in person becomes even more critical. It is amazing to see that the battlefield has been preserved as well as it has been especially given the rapid industrialization that has occurred in the city where it is located.

1864. Samuel's P.O.V "Samuel get up we have to get ready" I heard my sister say, man she annoying, "ok I will get up,"I said, I stood up on my bed and rubbed my eye, man am I tried what do we have to get up for anyway.

After I got dressed in 'decent clothing' as my sister wanted to when to eat some breakfast just to see that every on was outside including my mother in which she is usually the last one to go out when we are headed somewhere, strange? oh well, guess I won't be eating
