1862 The Civil War Antietam

A Nation Divided – 1862 The Civil War

When the Civil War began, both sides believed the war would end quickly. They could not have been more wrong. At the two-day Battle of Shiloh,Battle of Shiloh Battlefield there were more American casualties than in the entire Revolutionary War, the War Of 1812, and the Mexican – American War – combined. Both sides realized that the War would be long and bloody and that the casualty count would stagger the imagination.

The Southern (“Confederate” traitors were helped in 1862 by good military leadership but their cause was hurt by inept political leadership fighting for the right to hold human beings as forced laborers  sexual slaves under the guise of “State’s Rights.” 

The United States Of America was hurt by the uneven military leadership and helped enormously by political leadership that evolved and grew in purpose and resolve.

In this week’s presentation, we will trace the dual paths of the USA and the traitors and note the emergence of General Grant.
