How could a civil war come to pass only 85 years following the forming of the wickedly hard-sought-after unified country? What could be so irresolvable that the people of that nation decided to tear it apart and go to war, somewhat than do everything possible to repair the situation? Ironically, the problem was that each states wanted the liberty to govern themselves, which is just what said nation went to war over 85 years previously: the right of American colonies to rule themselves, instead of being subject to England. AMERICA fought an extended, bitter, deadly war from 1861-1865 over secession, says' to govern themselves, and the to keep a way of life predicated on slavery. Great Fights of the Civil War is the story of that war, of its most shocking and violent fights: Bull Run, Shiloh, Antietam, Vicksburg, Gettysburg, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Atlanta, Petersburg, and Sherman's March to the ocean. It's the story of the deaths of 620,000 men, catastrophe that 9/11 didn't begin to touch, and great leaders like Robert E. Lee, Ulysses S. Offer, Stonewall Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, Ambrose Burnside, and Pierre Gustave Toutant Beauregard. This is the story of an easy, one-day war suitable for a picnic and waving the flag that turned into four long years of disillusionment, destruction, and surrender.
