The End of a War.

      In the end General Robert E Lee of the South surrendered to Ulysses Grant of the North. This marked the end of the war and a new begging for all slaves. They were set free and now had the freedom to do as they pleased. To me this is probably one of the greatest accomplishments we have done as Americans. We may have fought our brothers but it wasn't right what they were still doing to the blacks. We were unselfish and fought for the blacks not ourselves.

Gettysburg Pickett's Charge

The Gettysburg charge was the greatest mass of Confederate troops the ran to their deaths. After this battle General Robert E Lee made him surrender and mark the end of the Civil War. This was was the  biggest turning point in the Civil War. And the bigest thing you can ask yourself is what if the North didn't win here, would they have lost the whole war? Would there still be slavery today? This may sound wrong but if all those young Confederate boys and men didn't die in this slaughter this war could have had a very bad ending for the African-Americans exceptionally.

 

The Start of a Civil War

It was April 12, 1861 when the south decided to rebel against the Union. The Union was fighting so that slavery would be over and that all men should be treated equally. The North (Union) was lead by President Lincoln and the South was lead by Robert E Lee. This war was the most bloody and gruesome war we Americans have ever fought and it was against ourselves.

The Soldiers of Our Past

In the Revolutionary war the Colonial army consisted of two types  of soldiers. There was well trained soldiers called regulars. The regulars were the First force in America and was a huge factor in the war.

The other type of soldiers were militia or minute men they were poorly trained and sometimes were not even trained. Without the millita the regulars would have been wiped out and we would still to this day be under British control.

This was the first flag that carried the great colors of our nation. The thirteen stars represent the thirteen colonies that graced this land. The stripes represent the freedom and the greatness of being an American.

D-Day

It was a brisk morning on June 6, 1944. It was a nerve racking experience for both American and German for they both knew what this day would bring. Wave after wave young American soldiers crowded the beaches, to start their European campaign. The also young German soldiers were eventually overran by the superior numbers we had. In the end it was a bloody day for both sides of the battle field. It was the most brutal and bloodiest bath that has ever happened in American history.
