Description

From the rallying cry “On to Richmond!” to the solemn surrender at Appomattox Court House in Virginia, the Civil War (1861-1865) tested the spirit, courage, and unity of the American nation. The bloodiest war in American history, the conflict pitted the North against the South in a monumental struggle over slavery and states’ rights. In this book, readers will learn about the Battles of Vicksburg, Gettysburg, Chancellorsville, and Chattanooga, which had a deep impact on the outcome of the war and the soldiers who fought in it. The voices of Abraham Lincoln, Stonewall Jackson, Robert E. Lee, and soldiers on both sides speak out in this exciting volume. Juvenile audiences. Illustrations.
