The word civil does not just mean polite. It can also mean of or relating to the citizens of a country. A civil war is one that occurs between the people of a singe country rather than between two countries. Lots of countries have had civil wars. There are some people who will give you an argument about whether this particular conflict was truly a civil war. They will tell you that it is properly called The War Between the States. Of course it has also been called, the War of the Rebellion, the War of the Northern Aggression, the War for the Confederacy, the War for the Union and The Late Unpleasantness. Michael Montagne Actually America has never had a "civil war." A civil war is defined as a struggle between two or more factions for control of a central government. Since the Southern states seceded legally under the constitution as it existed at that time (a point upheld later by Lincoln's own Supreme Court Chief Justice Salmon Chase, who said "Secession was legal." and the reason None of the Confederate leaders were ever tried for treason) there were two separate and functioning governments on the North American Continent. The United States of America and the Confederate States of America. You will note that all Military correspondence during the war in the "War of the Rebellion" records refer to the Confederate States as a separate entity. The Southern states never voiced any desire to rule in "Washington" and take over the entire country, their wish was merely to be able to leave and be left alone. So the correct term (and others are just fanciful) would be, as it was for the Colonists in 1776, the "War for Southern Independence."

The prospect of having take up arms against his own state of Virginia. That's why he turned down the job of General-in-Chief of the Union army, and joined the Confederates.

Cold Harbor, Virginia. Grant threw several frontal assaults at Lee's well entrenched forces, and was thrown back with great slaughter.

General Robert E. Lee had several goals when he decided to raid Union territory and attack the capital of Pennsylvania, Harrisburg. With that said, it's clear that Lee's main objective was to attack the North's will to continue the war by decisively defeating the Union on its own territory. In 1863 and in the years before and after Gettysburg, the Northern Army of the Potomac was a key force for the Union. Although Lee had defeated this army several times and when it was commanded by at least four Union generals, this army continued to be a strong fighting force by replacing soldiers who had become casualties. In the upcoming battle, which did occur unexpectedly at Gettysburg, Lee's plan was to not only to defeat the Army of the Potomac, but to utterly destroy it. Lee's method for doing so was what is tactically referred to as defeating an enemy army in detail. "In detail" is the military tactic of bringing a concentrated and large force against a portion of the enemy's army, destroying it, and then repeating this tactic against any and all of the remaining elements that still existed.For the most part, battles in the US Civil War were won or lost, however, the losing army was able to escape to only reorganize and live to fight another day.

Part of JEB Stuart's problem was that the long ride around the Army of the Potomac cost him to be late and tired from a long and difficult attempt to reach Robert E. Lee at Gettysburg. He did have the vision however to see that if he could rout Union forces at the crucial crossroads of Hanover and Old Dutch Road, would allow a flank attack on General Meade, cut off his supply and communications lines and cause panic among many Union troops were not battle veterans that Lee had. Also, Lee believed that the replacement of General Joseph Hooker by Meade could cause that some confusion and communication problems with the large Army of the Potomac.

The Gettysburg Address was written to free slaves and because Abraham Lincoln wanted to create all men equal. -this is actually wrong. the Gettysburg Address had nothing to do with the emancipation proclamation... instead the Gettysburg address turned the war from being a struggle for the north into a view as " the birth of a new freedom"
