Stones River Battlefield Review

McDonough, James L. War In Kentucky: From Shiloh to Perryville. Knoxville: University of Tennessee Press, 1994

The first sub-battle was the Battle of Orchard Knob. On November 23rd, General Ulysses S. Grant found out that Braxton Bragg was withdrawing some of his brigades. Ulysses saw the columns of Rebels marching away from Missionary Ridge. Ulysses assumed that they were on their way to support General James Longstreet near Knoxville. To stop them, Grant sent 14,000 Union troops to intercept the army of 600 Rebels at Orchard Knob. The Rebels put up a good fight, but they were heavily outnumbered, so they were eradicated. Afterwards, Ulysses S. Grant made Orchard Knob his headquarters for the rest of the

This board is of standard: 8-4.5, the Civil War. This board consists of some of the most rememberable things in the war like the Surrender at Appomattox where Lee and Grant ended the war, the casualties in each battle, Gettysburg Address, and the H.L. Hunley. I also included Fort Sumter where the first shots of the war were fired. The early capture of Port Royal happened when the Union shot down the 2 forts that surrounded the Port Royal Sound and the nearby townspeople

“Many historians consider the Battle of King's Mountain on October 7, 1780 to be the turning point in America's War for Independence.” (hankla)

I am currently fighting the Battle of Shiloh, also known as the Battle of Pittsburg Landing. We are located in Southwestern Tennessee. General Ulysses S. Grant has been moving us, the north, to gain control over more land. we fighting to free slavery and i am more than honored to be here. If i had the chance to switch sides i would not. Previous to this battle we had fought our way to many victories.The union had gained control over Kentucky and most of Tennessee. On April 6, 1862 we tried to gain control over the Tennessee river, we did not succeed. We were moved back two miles and preparing to attack again. We were once weak until we met up with General Buell’s army. This allowed us to make a very surprising counterattack the next morning.

      Next is the natural landscape.  The natural landscape of the areas within and surrounding the town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania is pivotal in determining the outcome of this battle.  Who ever can master the land can master the battle.  The effects of the land can begin to be seen as  Robert E. Lee is informed of the Union army's location near Gettysburg. This location is much closer than originally thought.  The terrain of this area is an uneven one.

The capture of mighty and powerful Mississippi River was the result of three of the battles of the Civil War. The Battle of Vicksburg, the Battle of New Orleans, and the Battle of Shiloh. These three battles were important to the success of the Union Army without them we probably would not have won the war. The battles are very interesting, complex, and cruel but wars are wars and a lot of people

Stone mountain has remained a very influential monument of Georgia; a gem of what may say to the state’s tourism and a landmark of American history throughout the ages. Stonewall Jackson, Robert E. Lee , and Jefferson Davis on top of their valuable steeds represent the Confederate nation and its tie with Stone mountain as they are carved meticulously in the world’s largest exposed granite; however, the peaceful serenity of the lake and nature that envelops the mountain and its visitors remained a very important ceremonial location for native americans. The complete history of Stone Mountain is interwoven into the treads of historical events that have occurred throughout and even before the great nation , United States of America, was formed. Currently, it’s one of the most famous attractions in Georgia known for the breathtaking view of metropolitan Atlanta at the peak of the mountain. It is clear as rich as the beauty of stone mountain is,undeniably, it has a strong historical importance to American history and exquisite backround.

The battle took place in the tangled woods of what is now Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Park about 10 miles west of Fredericksburg, Virginia along Orange Plank Road and Orange Turnpike. The Federals held the land to the east and the confederates to the west. The land was nearly impassable, proving a nightmare for both moving men and logistics. The importance of the location, however, was significant. Railways and roads led to Washington and were logistically important. For two years, fighting for the land surrounding the Rappahannock and Rapidan rivers led to stalemate. Twice previously, Lee had been able to withstand attack from the Federals; attacks led by Joseph Hooker and George Meade. Lee’s plan was, likely, to take Washington, which he believed would decidedly win

One of the war’s first battles was the Battle of First Bull Run. Today's site of the Battle of First Bull Run is a tranquil pasture surrounded by trees and a split rail fence. Instead of the neigh

Locations’ names were explained during my studies there, found artifacts giddied my attraction to details, and short facts shooed any boredom. For example, while American soldiers wore standard uniforms, the Mexican soldiers wore highly ornate uniforms that served as a confidence booster and an intimidation technique against enemies. Following my walkabout through the lobby, I viewed the video presentation for experience purposes. No spoilers, but the wartime history was brutal. For a final experience at the national park, I decided to head over to the overlook

During my time there, I have been able to talk to many different types of visitors and patients. I am grateful that they trusted me enough to share their story with me and have increased my empathy for others. As a species, we should not hold prejudices against each other as we all have a different story to tell. Additionally, I have had the chance to travel to many different countries including Vietnam, South Korea, and Japan. All these counties have their own distinct culture and history and I appreciate everything that they had to offer. For example, I really admire the respect younger generations have for the elders in these Asian societies and am confident that American society could greatly benefit from this system. In the future, I would love to travel to a wider range of countries and indulge in the culture. Our world has so much diversity to offer and by understanding others way of living will connect us as a whole and reduce racism. There is no right or wrong way of living, we are simply influenced by the people and environment around us. To say that one group is superior to another is detestable. Empathy and compassion for others will only positively influence society and unify

     The first Battle of Bull Run took place near Manassas Junction, Virginia, an important railroad junction twenty five

There is a high wire car that takes visitors up to the top of the mountain or one can choice to hike up the mountain. The carving represents three key figures of the Confederacy riding their horses, which are Ulysses Grant, Robert E. Lee, and Jefferson Davis. The width of the carving is the width of a football field. Along with historical museums, the park has campgrounds and horseback riding, a train that goes around the mountain. There are also these vehicles that go on land and water. These car/boat vehicles are called Ducks. When you ride this attraction you are given a whistle that sounds like a duck quack annoying but fun at the same time. My favorite activity, however, is the laser show. The laser show takes place on the face of the mountain followed by a firework show. During the fall there is a fall festival with a pumpkin patch. My wife has the most adorable pictures of my kids in this pumpkin patch.
