Civil War!
The civil war was during 1861 and 1865 within 23 states. There were many differnt battles that all became part of the Civil War.
One of the many battels is the Battle of Shiloh. Or as other people call it, The Battle of Pittsburg Landing. From April 6–7, 1862 in Tennessee. A union army camped on a westbank of the Tennessee river after floating down it. THe confederates decided to attack that camp and did very well the first day, but ended up getting defeated after all. The confederates plan was to push the Union Army in one direction but they lost their sence of direction because they were paying more attention to the fighting. The Union Army then ended up going in a differnt direction then the Confederates wanted. Reinforcements from the Union army arrived that night and then turned the tables by the next morning. The Confederates decided to retreat from what was the bloodiest battle up to thet time period because the Union launched a counterattack along the entire line of Confederates.
