This lesson covers pivotal events of the American Civil War, focusing on major battles such as Antietam, Gettysburg, and Chickamauga. Antietam, the bloodiest single-day battle on September 17, 1862, led to a Union victory and set the stage for the Emancipation Proclamation issued by Lincoln. The three-day battle of Gettysburg resulted in significant casualties for both sides but marked a turning point for the Union. The lesson also discusses Union strategies like blockades, Sherman's Atlanta Campaign, and the devastating March to the Sea, as well as the harsh conditions faced by soldiers in Confederate prisons.
