Civil War

We have been learning about the battles of the Civil War. We found out that at the beginning the South was winning. Then, towards the end the North was winning. The Battle of Gettysburg was the turning point. The Battle of Antietam was the bloodiest battle of the Civil War. At the end General Robert E. Lee surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Courthouse.

Sherman's March to the Sea is when General William T. Sherman went through parts of Georgia to get to Savannah. Fun fact: He went through Madison, GA, but he did not mess it up because he had a lady friend there that he liked. 

I think the Civil War is awesome!
