Welcome to the American Civil War Center

Learn All about Civil War Weapons, Generals, Battles, Medicine, and a Lot More

Well, the China slides worked out - so now we are going for the Slide Scanning Service that talks about slides and converting slides to images. Today is October 26th, and we'll see how long this link can get indexed. I'll also leave another link from weebly - Slides to CD and see how that goes. A third link will be put on HTMLForums. So all these sites about slides are being placed on the 26th, and we'll see how well it turns out. Remember, slides can be converted to cd or DVD in a short amount of time if it is done by Slide Scanning Services such as Digital Memories Online.

This American Civil War site will allow you to read and learn all about Civil War Battles that were fought in the 1860's mostly in Virginia and some other Southern states. You will also read about people that led this nation, President Abraham Lincoln for an example, and generals like Robert E. Lee that led his army into many battles. You'll learn what it took to fight in a skirmish or battle and how it felt like to be one of the family members that was waiting for a son, brother, or father to come home. Civil War Flags will also be talked about and what they really meant and you'll read about some of the men that died for those battle flags.

The American Civil War started in the month of April of 1861 and ended in April of 1865. During that period, over 600,000 men died for what they believed in. It ripped the country in two and actually took about a hundred years for it to heal, even though to this day, parts of the South still hold a little grudge against the North...mostly in good humor though.

The American Civil War is now studied by many people and not just from this country. The attraction, unfortunately, is because it was so bloody. Men shooting at each other at close range, cannons firing into a squad of men that ended up tearing their limbs apart or even decapitation - this Civil War was an gruesome event. Families suffered so much, sometimes if they sent two or three sons to war, none of them would come back. In fact, one woman sent five sons to fight for the Union, all of them were killed in different civil war battles. Misery was everywhere, and in 1864 when General Sherman marched to the sea, he waged "total war" against the South, meaning he allowed his men to destroy civilian property which was unheard of back then.

American Civil War Weapons allowed both sides to destroy humans in a rapid pace. They became more powerful over the course of the war and was the main reason why it killed multitudes of soldiers in just small battles. Also, soldiers fought very closely together, therefore a "grape shot" from a cannon could easily wipe out a dozen men. The Civil War Weapons was very destructive to anything in its path and it proved itself very well on the battlefield. This site, will also go in depth of these killing machines.

Civil War Battles are here on this site as well. From the smallest battle to the bloodiest, it will be covered here. When people think of the American Civil War, they think about the Battle of Gettysburg. Yes, this battle is covered here but so are other major battles like Antietam, both battles of Bull Run, Fredericksburgh, and others. Let's not forget about the naval battles as well - they are not forgotten on this site. The site will also explore the real turning point of the war in which most think was Gettysburg, but the writers of this site along with many historians don't think so. There are a lot of things to uncover in this vast subject.
