4.) The Civil war was a bloody war. It was one the most important wars in history. It consisted of a separation between the North and the South. It was a war over slavery and advancement. It started in 1861 and ended in 1865. The North had different generals like George McClellan, Henry Halleck, and wrapping it up with Ulysses S. Grant. The South was led by General Robert E. Lee. It was a long war, but it had to come to an end.
The civil war did not rely just on people. As the book states it relied on home fronts, population, economic strength, financial means, and citizen resolve.

Sherman acted like he was retreating so Hood sent his whole right flank and after doing so he realized the danger of him being surrounded. He made his last attack at Jonesboro and failed. After failing Hood’s troops burned everything with military value in the city and then evacuated. Sherman marched into the city and took it. This win greatly encouraged the Union and devastated the Confederates. Sherman than marched to the sea after burning 1/3 of Atlanta and leaving with about 62,000 troops. He started his 285 mile trek from Georgia to the Atlantic Coast. Sherman 's march was the first movement of a large army going such a distance without a complete supply line. The march had a lasting impact on the civilian population emotionally and psychologically. A path of
