The Battle in the Back Yard!

The Civil War 1861-1865


General Ulysses S Grant and General Robert E. Lee


Head of the Union Army*** Head of the Confederate Army
**********************************


My Civil War battle in the backyard.

The South wanted to make their own country and keep slavery going.

The North said; NO WAY!

The battle was long and horrible!


So many men and boys died!

The conditions were terrible for the soldiers.

Brothers sometimes fought against their own brothers.

In the end the North won!
The confederates surrendered on April 9, 1865
The slaves were free and
we continued to be one united country.

General Grant
