anderson is a city in madison county, indiana, united states.named after chief william anderson, it is the county seat of madison county.the city is the headquarters of the church of god (anderson) and home of anderson university, which is affiliated with the church of god.highlights of the city include the historic paramount theatre and the gruenewald house.the population was 54,788 at the 2020 census.conner later sold the ground to john and sarah berry, who donated 32 acres (13 ha) of their land to madison county on the condition that the county seat be moved from pendleton to anderson.john berry laid out the first plat of anderson on november 7, 1827.in 1828 the seat of justice was moved from pendleton to anderson.the city is named for chief william 'adam' anderson, whose mother was lenape and whose father was of swedish descent.chief anderson's name in lenape was kikthawenund, meaning 'creaking boughs'.the lenape village was known as 'anderson's town', though the moravian missionaries called it 'the heathen town four miles away'.anderson was also known as 'andersonton' before being formally organized as anderson.introduction of internal improvements by the mammoth internal improvement act caused a growth in the population in 1837.in december 1838, anderson was incorporated as a town with 350 inhabitants.the central canal, a branch of the wabash and erie canal, was planned to come through anderson.work continued on the canal during 1838 and the beginning of 1839, but the work was soon suspended by the state following effects of the panic of 1837.the town again became a sleepy village until 1849, when it was incorporated a second time as a town.many new commercial ventures located around the courthouse square.this incorporation was short-lived, and anderson once again went back to village status in 1852.however, with the completion of the indianapolis bellefontaine railroad, as well as their station in 1852, anderson burst to life.the third incorporation of anderson as a town occurred on june 9, 1853.the population continued to increase.on august 28, 1865, with a population of nearly 1,300 people, anderson was incorporated as a city.between 1853 and the late 19th century, twenty industries of various sizes located there.on march 31, 1887, natural gas was discovered in anderson.as the indiana gas boom began, this discovery led new businesses that could use natural gas, such as glass-making, to move to the city.anderson grew to such proportions that a cincinnati newspaper editor labeled the city 'the pittsburgh on white river'.other appellations were 'queen city of the gas belt' and (because of the vulcanizing and rubber tire manufacturing business) 'puncture proof city'.in 1897 the interurban railroad was born in anderson.charles henry, a large stock holder, coined the term 'interurban' in 1893.it continued to operate until 1941.the year 1912 spelled disaster for anderson: the natural gas ran out.the city had left its gas-powered lights on day and night, and there are stories of a pocket of natural gas being lit in the river and burning for a prolonged period for the spectacle of it.the result of the loss of natural gas was that several factories moved out.the whole city slowed down.the commercial club (formed on november 18, 1905) was the forerunner of the present chamber of commerce.this club persuaded the remy brothers to stay in anderson and others to locate there.for decades, delco remy and guide lamp (later fisher guide), which during world war ii built the m3 submachine gun and the fp-45 liberator pistol for the allies, were the top two employers in the city. | atrochal | indiscreetness | sugarcoating | no related information |
the american civil war (april 12, 1861 – may 26, 1865; also known by other names) was a civil war in the united states.it was fought between the union ('the north') and the confederacy ('the south'), the latter formed by states that had seceded.the central cause of the war was the dispute over whether slavery would be permitted to expand into the western territories, leading to more slave states, or be prevented from doing so, which was widely believed would place slavery on a course of ultimate extinction.decades of political controversy over slavery were brought to a head by the victory in the 1860 u.s. presidential election of abraham lincoln, who opposed slavery's expansion into the western territories.an initial seven southern slave states responded to lincoln's victory by seceding from the united states and, in february 1861, forming the confederacy.the confederacy seized u.s. forts and other federal assets within their borders.led by confederate president jefferson davis, the confederacy asserted control over about a third of the u.s. population in eleven of the 34 u.s. states that then existed.four years of intense combat, mostly in the south, ensued.during 1861–1862 in the war's western theater, the union made significant permanent gains—though in the war's eastern theater the conflict was inconclusive.the abolition of slavery became a union war goal on january 1, 1863, when lincoln issued the emancipation proclamation, which declared all slaves in states in rebellion to be free, applying to more than 3.5 million of the 4 million enslaved people in the country.to the west, the union destroyed the confederacy's river navy by the summer of 1862, then much of its western armies, and seized new orleans.the successful 1863 union siege of vicksburg split the confederacy in two at the mississippi river.in 1863, confederate general robert e. lee's incursion north ended at the battle of gettysburg.western successes led to general ulysses s. grant's command of all union armies in 1864.inflicting an ever-tightening naval blockade of confederate ports, the union marshaled resources and manpower to attack the confederacy from all directions.this led to the fall of atlanta in 1864 to union general william tecumseh sherman, followed by his march to the sea.the last significant battles raged around the ten-month siege of petersburg, gateway to the confederate capital of richmond.the confederates abandoned richmond, and on april 9, 1865, lee surrendered to grant following the battle of appomattox court house, setting in motion the end of the war.a wave of confederate surrenders followed.on april 14, just five days after lee's surrender, lincoln was assassinated.as a practical matter, the war ended with the may 26 surrender of the department of the trans-mississippi but the conclusion of the american civil war lacks a clear and precise historical end date.confederate ground forces continued surrendering past the may 26 surrender date until june 23.by the end of the war, much of the south's infrastructure was destroyed, especially its railroads.the confederacy collapsed, slavery was abolished, and four million enslaved black people were freed.the war-torn nation then entered the reconstruction era in an attempt to rebuild the country, bring the former confederate states back into the united states, and grant civil rights to freed slaves.the civil war is one of the most extensively studied and written about episodes in u.s. history.it remains the subject of cultural and historiographical debate.of particular interest is the persisting myth of the lost cause of the confederacy.the american civil war was among the first wars to use industrial warfare. | american civil war | commander | abraham lincoln <tsp> alfred moore scales | country | united states <tsp> united states | ethnicgroup | native americans in the united states <tsp> alfred moore scales | battles | battle of fredericksburg <tsp> battle of fredericksburg | ispartofmilitaryconflict | american civil war | the american civil war (april 12, 1861 – may 26, 1865;

the american civil war (april 12, 1861 – may 26, 1865; also known by other names) was a civil war in the united states.it was fought between the union ('the north') and the confederacy ('the south'), the latter formed by states that had seceded.the central cause of the war was the dispute over whether slavery would be permitted to expand into the western territories, leading to more slave states, or be prevented from doing so, which was widely believed would place slavery on a course of ultimate extinction.decades of political controversy over slavery were brought to a head by the victory in the 1860 u.s. presidential election of abraham lincoln, who opposed slavery's expansion into the western territories.an initial seven southern slave states responded to lincoln's victory by seceding from the united states and, in february 1861, forming the confederacy.the confederacy seized u.s. forts and other federal assets within their borders.led by confederate president jefferson davis, the confederacy asserted control over about a third of the u.s. population in eleven of the 34 u.s. states that then existed.four years of intense combat, mostly in the south, ensued.during 1861–1862 in the war's western theater, the union made significant permanent gains—though in the war's eastern theater the conflict was inconclusive.the abolition of slavery became a union war goal on january 1, 1863, when lincoln issued the emancipation proclamation, which declared all slaves in states in rebellion to be free, applying to more than 3.5 million of the 4 million enslaved people in the country.to the west, the union destroyed the confederacy's river navy by the summer of 1862, then much of its western armies, and seized new orleans.the successful 1863 union siege of vicksburg split the confederacy in two at the mississippi river.in 1863, confederate general robert e. lee's incursion north ended at the battle of gettysburg.western successes led to general ulysses s. grant's command of all union armies in 1864.inflicting an ever-tightening naval blockade of confederate ports, the union marshaled resources and manpower to attack the confederacy from all directions.this led to the fall of atlanta in 1864 to union general william tecumseh sherman, followed by his march to the sea.the last significant battles raged around the ten-month siege of petersburg, gateway to the confederate capital of richmond.the confederates abandoned richmond, and on april 9, 1865, lee surrendered to grant following the battle of appomattox court house, setting in motion the end of the war.a wave of confederate surrenders followed.on april 14, just five days after lee's surrender, lincoln was assassinated.as a practical matter, the war ended with the may 26 surrender of the department of the trans-mississippi but the conclusion of the american civil war lacks a clear and precise historical end date.confederate ground forces continued surrendering past the may 26 surrender date until june 23.by the end of the war, much of the south's infrastructure was destroyed, especially its railroads.the confederacy collapsed, slavery was abolished, and four million enslaved black people were freed.the war-torn nation then entered the reconstruction era in an attempt to rebuild the country, bring the former confederate states back into the united states, and grant civil rights to freed slaves.the civil war is one of the most extensively studied and written about episodes in u.s. history.it remains the subject of cultural and historiographical debate.of particular interest is the persisting myth of the lost cause of the confederacy.the american civil war was among the first wars to use industrial warfare. | odin | calamite | embull | no related information |

anderson is a city in madison county, indiana, united states.named after chief william anderson, it is the county seat of madison county.the city is the headquarters of the church of god (anderson) and home of anderson university, which is affiliated with the church of god.highlights of the city include the historic paramount theatre and the gruenewald house.the population was 54,788 at the 2020 census.conner later sold the ground to john and sarah berry, who donated 32 acres (13 ha) of their land to madison county on the condition that the county seat be moved from pendleton to anderson.john berry laid out the first plat of anderson on november 7, 1827.in 1828 the seat of justice was moved from pendleton to anderson.the city is named for chief william 'adam' anderson, whose mother was lenape and whose father was of swedish descent.chief anderson's name in lenape was kikthawenund, meaning 'creaking boughs'.the lenape village was known as 'anderson's town', though the moravian missionaries called it 'the heathen town four miles away'.anderson was also known as 'andersonton' before being formally organized as anderson.introduction of internal improvements by the mammoth internal improvement act caused a growth in the population in 1837.in december 1838, anderson was incorporated as a town with 350 inhabitants.the central canal, a branch of the wabash and erie canal, was planned to come through anderson.work continued on the canal during 1838 and the beginning of 1839, but the work was soon suspended by the state following effects of the panic of 1837.the town again became a sleepy village until 1849, when it was incorporated a second time as a town.many new commercial ventures located around the courthouse square.this incorporation was short-lived, and anderson once again went back to village status in 1852.however, with the completion of the indianapolis bellefontaine railroad, as well as their station in 1852, anderson burst to life.the third incorporation of anderson as a town occurred on june 9, 1853.the population continued to increase.on august 28, 1865, with a population of nearly 1,300 people, anderson was incorporated as a city.between 1853 and the late 19th century, twenty industries of various sizes located there.on march 31, 1887, natural gas was discovered in anderson.as the indiana gas boom began, this discovery led new businesses that could use natural gas, such as glass-making, to move to the city.anderson grew to such proportions that a cincinnati newspaper editor labeled the city 'the pittsburgh on white river'.other appellations were 'queen city of the gas belt' and (because of the vulcanizing and rubber tire manufacturing business) 'puncture proof city'.in 1897 the interurban railroad was born in anderson.charles henry, a large stock holder, coined the term 'interurban' in 1893.it continued to operate until 1941.the year 1912 spelled disaster for anderson: the natural gas ran out.the city had left its gas-powered lights on day and night, and there are stories of a pocket of natural gas being lit in the river and burning for a prolonged period for the spectacle of it.the result of the loss of natural gas was that several factories moved out.the whole city slowed down.the commercial club (formed on november 18, 1905) was the forerunner of the present chamber of commerce.this club persuaded the remy brothers to stay in anderson and others to locate there.for decades, delco remy and guide lamp (later fisher guide), which during world war ii built the m3 submachine gun and the fp-45 liberator pistol for the allies, were the top two employers in the city. | cantrips | zugtierlaster | cherubically | no related information |
the american civil war (april 12, 1861 – may 26, 1865; also known by other names) was a civil war in the united states.it was fought between the union ('the north') and the confederacy ('the south'), the latter formed by states that had seceded.the central cause of the war was the dispute over whether slavery would be permitted to expand into the western territories, leading to more slave states, or be prevented from doing so, which was widely believed would place slavery on a course of ultimate extinction.decades of political controversy over slavery were brought to a head by the victory in the 1860 u.s. presidential election of abraham lincoln, who opposed slavery's expansion into the western territories.an initial seven southern slave states responded to lincoln's victory by seceding from the united states and, in february 1861, forming the confederacy.the confederacy seized u.s. forts and other federal assets within their borders.led by confederate president jefferson davis, the confederacy asserted control over about a third of the u.s. population in eleven of the 34 u.s. states that then existed.four years of intense combat, mostly in the south, ensued.during 1861–1862 in the war's western theater, the union made significant permanent gains—though in the war's eastern theater the conflict was inconclusive.the abolition of slavery became a union war goal on january 1, 1863, when lincoln issued the emancipation proclamation, which declared all slaves in states in rebellion to be free, applying to more than 3.5 million of the 4 million enslaved people in the country.to the west, the union destroyed the confederacy's river navy by the summer of 1862, then much of its western armies, and seized new orleans.the successful 1863 union siege of vicksburg split the confederacy in two at the mississippi river.in 1863, confederate general robert e. lee's incursion north ended at the battle of gettysburg.western successes led to general ulysses s. grant's command of all union armies in 1864.inflicting an ever-tightening naval blockade of confederate ports, the union marshaled resources and manpower to attack the confederacy from all directions.this led to the fall of atlanta in 1864 to union general william tecumseh sherman, followed by his march to the sea.the last significant battles raged around the ten-month siege of petersburg, gateway to the confederate capital of richmond.the confederates abandoned richmond, and on april 9, 1865, lee surrendered to grant following the battle of appomattox court house, setting in motion the end of the war.a wave of confederate surrenders followed.on april 14, just five days after lee's surrender, lincoln was assassinated.as a practical matter, the war ended with the may 26 surrender of the department of the trans-mississippi but the conclusion of the american civil war lacks a clear and precise historical end date.confederate ground forces continued surrendering past the may 26 surrender date until june 23.by the end of the war, much of the south's infrastructure was destroyed, especially its railroads.the confederacy collapsed, slavery was abolished, and four million enslaved black people were freed.the war-torn nation then entered the reconstruction era in an attempt to rebuild the country, bring the former confederate states back into the united states, and grant civil rights to freed slaves.the civil war is one of the most extensively studied and written about episodes in u.s. history.it remains the subject of cultural and historiographical debate.of particular interest is the persisting myth of the lost cause of the confederacy.the american civil war was among the first wars to use industrial warfare. | allianced | goalie | preaging <tsp> allianced | respin | nondependableness | no related information |

the american civil war (april 12, 1861 – may 26, 1865; also known by other names) was a civil war in the united states.it was fought between the union ('the north') and the confederacy ('the south'), the latter formed by states that had seceded.the central cause of the war was the dispute over whether slavery would be permitted to expand into the western territories, leading to more slave states, or be prevented from doing so, which was widely believed would place slavery on a course of ultimate extinction.decades of political controversy over slavery were brought to a head by the victory in the 1860 u.s. presidential election of abraham lincoln, who opposed slavery's expansion into the western territories.an initial seven southern slave states responded to lincoln's victory by seceding from the united states and, in february 1861, forming the confederacy.the confederacy seized u.s. forts and other federal assets within their borders.led by confederate president jefferson davis, the confederacy asserted control over about a third of the u.s. population in eleven of the 34 u.s. states that then existed.four years of intense combat, mostly in the south, ensued.during 1861–1862 in the war's western theater, the union made significant permanent gains—though in the war's eastern theater the conflict was inconclusive.the abolition of slavery became a union war goal on january 1, 1863, when lincoln issued the emancipation proclamation, which declared all slaves in states in rebellion to be free, applying to more than 3.5 million of the 4 million enslaved people in the country.to the west, the union destroyed the confederacy's river navy by the summer of 1862, then much of its western armies, and seized new orleans.the successful 1863 union siege of vicksburg split the confederacy in two at the mississippi river.in 1863, confederate general robert e. lee's incursion north ended at the battle of gettysburg.western successes led to general ulysses s. grant's command of all union armies in 1864.inflicting an ever-tightening naval blockade of confederate ports, the union marshaled resources and manpower to attack the confederacy from all directions.this led to the fall of atlanta in 1864 to union general william tecumseh sherman, followed by his march to the sea.the last significant battles raged around the ten-month siege of petersburg, gateway to the confederate capital of richmond.the confederates abandoned richmond, and on april 9, 1865, lee surrendered to grant following the battle of appomattox court house, setting in motion the end of the war.a wave of confederate surrenders followed.on april 14, just five days after lee's surrender, lincoln was assassinated.as a practical matter, the war ended with the may 26 surrender of the department of the trans-mississippi but the conclusion of the american civil war lacks a clear and precise historical end date.confederate ground forces continued surrendering past the may 26 surrender date until june 23.by the end of the war, much of the south's infrastructure was destroyed, especially its railroads.the confederacy collapsed, slavery was abolished, and four million enslaved black people were freed.the war-torn nation then entered the reconstruction era in an attempt to rebuild the country, bring the former confederate states back into the united states, and grant civil rights to freed slaves.the civil war is one of the most extensively studied and written about episodes in u.s. history.it remains the subject of cultural and historiographical debate.of particular interest is the persisting myth of the lost cause of the confederacy.the american civil war was among the first wars to use industrial warfare. | american civil war | commander | jefferson davis <tsp> alfred moore scales | country | united states <tsp> united states | ethnicgroup | african americans <tsp> alfred moore scales | battles | battle of fredericksburg <tsp> battle of fredericksburg | ispartofmilitaryconflict | american civil war | the confederates abandoned richmond, and on april 9, 1865, lee surrendered to grant following the battle of appomattox court house, setting in motion the end of the war. |

the american civil war (april 12, 1861 – may 26, 1865; also known by other names) was a civil war in the united states.it was fought between the union ('the north') and the confederacy ('the south'), the latter formed by states that had seceded.the central cause of the war was the dispute over whether slavery would be permitted to expand into the western territories, leading to more slave states, or be prevented from doing so, which was widely believed would place slavery on a course of ultimate extinction.decades of political controversy over slavery were brought to a head by the victory in the 1860 u.s. presidential election of abraham lincoln, who opposed slavery's expansion into the western territories.an initial seven southern slave states responded to lincoln's victory by seceding from the united states and, in february 1861, forming the confederacy.the confederacy seized u.s. forts and other federal assets within their borders.led by confederate president jefferson davis, the confederacy asserted control over about a third of the u.s. population in eleven of the 34 u.s. states that then existed.four years of intense combat, mostly in the south, ensued.during 1861–1862 in the war's western theater, the union made significant permanent gains—though in the war's eastern theater the conflict was inconclusive.the abolition of slavery became a union war goal on january 1, 1863, when lincoln issued the emancipation proclamation, which declared all slaves in states in rebellion to be free, applying to more than 3.5 million of the 4 million enslaved people in the country.to the west, the union destroyed the confederacy's river navy by the summer of 1862, then much of its western armies, and seized new orleans.the successful 1863 union siege of vicksburg split the confederacy in two at the mississippi river.in 1863, confederate general robert e. lee's incursion north ended at the battle of gettysburg.western successes led to general ulysses s. grant's command of all union armies in 1864.inflicting an ever-tightening naval blockade of confederate ports, the union marshaled resources and manpower to attack the confederacy from all directions.this led to the fall of atlanta in 1864 to union general william tecumseh sherman, followed by his march to the sea.the last significant battles raged around the ten-month siege of petersburg, gateway to the confederate capital of richmond.the confederates abandoned richmond, and on april 9, 1865, lee surrendered to grant following the battle of appomattox court house, setting in motion the end of the war.a wave of confederate surrenders followed.on april 14, just five days after lee's surrender, lincoln was assassinated.as a practical matter, the war ended with the may 26 surrender of the department of the trans-mississippi but the conclusion of the american civil war lacks a clear and precise historical end date.confederate ground forces continued surrendering past the may 26 surrender date until june 23.by the end of the war, much of the south's infrastructure was destroyed, especially its railroads.the confederacy collapsed, slavery was abolished, and four million enslaved black people were freed.the war-torn nation then entered the reconstruction era in an attempt to rebuild the country, bring the former confederate states back into the united states, and grant civil rights to freed slaves.the civil war is one of the most extensively studied and written about episodes in u.s. history.it remains the subject of cultural and historiographical debate.of particular interest is the persisting myth of the lost cause of the confederacy.the american civil war was among the first wars to use industrial warfare. | american civil war | commander | jefferson davis <tsp> alfred moore scales | country | united states <tsp> united states | ethnicgroup | african americans <tsp> alfred moore scales | battles | siege of petersburg <tsp> siege of petersburg | ispartofmilitaryconflict | american civil war | no related information |

the american civil war (april 12, 1861 – may 26, 1865; also known by other names) was a civil war in the united states.it was fought between the union ('the north') and the confederacy ('the south'), the latter formed by states that had seceded.the central cause of the war was the dispute over whether slavery would be permitted to expand into the western territories, leading to more slave states, or be prevented from doing so, which was widely believed would place slavery on a course of ultimate extinction.decades of political controversy over slavery were brought to a head by the victory in the 1860 u.s. presidential election of abraham lincoln, who opposed slavery's expansion into the western territories.an initial seven southern slave states responded to lincoln's victory by seceding from the united states and, in february 1861, forming the confederacy.the confederacy seized u.s. forts and other federal assets within their borders.led by confederate president jefferson davis, the confederacy asserted control over about a third of the u.s. population in eleven of the 34 u.s. states that then existed.four years of intense combat, mostly in the south, ensued.during 1861–1862 in the war's western theater, the union made significant permanent gains—though in the war's eastern theater the conflict was inconclusive.the abolition of slavery became a union war goal on january 1, 1863, when lincoln issued the emancipation proclamation, which declared all slaves in states in rebellion to be free, applying to more than 3.5 million of the 4 million enslaved people in the country.to the west, the union destroyed the confederacy's river navy by the summer of 1862, then much of its western armies, and seized new orleans.the successful 1863 union siege of vicksburg split the confederacy in two at the mississippi river.in 1863, confederate general robert e. lee's incursion north ended at the battle of gettysburg.western successes led to general ulysses s. grant's command of all union armies in 1864.inflicting an ever-tightening naval blockade of confederate ports, the union marshaled resources and manpower to attack the confederacy from all directions.this led to the fall of atlanta in 1864 to union general william tecumseh sherman, followed by his march to the sea.the last significant battles raged around the ten-month siege of petersburg, gateway to the confederate capital of richmond.the confederates abandoned richmond, and on april 9, 1865, lee surrendered to grant following the battle of appomattox court house, setting in motion the end of the war.a wave of confederate surrenders followed.on april 14, just five days after lee's surrender, lincoln was assassinated.as a practical matter, the war ended with the may 26 surrender of the department of the trans-mississippi but the conclusion of the american civil war lacks a clear and precise historical end date.confederate ground forces continued surrendering past the may 26 surrender date until june 23.by the end of the war, much of the south's infrastructure was destroyed, especially its railroads.the confederacy collapsed, slavery was abolished, and four million enslaved black people were freed.the war-torn nation then entered the reconstruction era in an attempt to rebuild the country, bring the former confederate states back into the united states, and grant civil rights to freed slaves.the civil war is one of the most extensively studied and written about episodes in u.s. history.it remains the subject of cultural and historiographical debate.of particular interest is the persisting myth of the lost cause of the confederacy.the american civil war was among the first wars to use industrial warfare. | american civil war | commander | jefferson davis <tsp> alfred moore scales | country | united states <tsp> united states | ethnicgroup | native americans in the united states <tsp> alfred moore scales | battles | battle of fredericksburg <tsp> battle of fredericksburg | ispartofmilitaryconflict | american civil war | the american civil war (april 12, 1861 – may 26, 1865;

the american civil war (april 12, 1861 – may 26, 1865; also known by other names) was a civil war in the united states.it was fought between the union ('the north') and the confederacy ('the south'), the latter formed by states that had seceded.the central cause of the war was the dispute over whether slavery would be permitted to expand into the western territories, leading to more slave states, or be prevented from doing so, which was widely believed would place slavery on a course of ultimate extinction.decades of political controversy over slavery were brought to a head by the victory in the 1860 u.s. presidential election of abraham lincoln, who opposed slavery's expansion into the western territories.an initial seven southern slave states responded to lincoln's victory by seceding from the united states and, in february 1861, forming the confederacy.the confederacy seized u.s. forts and other federal assets within their borders.led by confederate president jefferson davis, the confederacy asserted control over about a third of the u.s. population in eleven of the 34 u.s. states that then existed.four years of intense combat, mostly in the south, ensued.during 1861–1862 in the war's western theater, the union made significant permanent gains—though in the war's eastern theater the conflict was inconclusive.the abolition of slavery became a union war goal on january 1, 1863, when lincoln issued the emancipation proclamation, which declared all slaves in states in rebellion to be free, applying to more than 3.5 million of the 4 million enslaved people in the country.to the west, the union destroyed the confederacy's river navy by the summer of 1862, then much of its western armies, and seized new orleans.the successful 1863 union siege of vicksburg split the confederacy in two at the mississippi river.in 1863, confederate general robert e. lee's incursion north ended at the battle of gettysburg.western successes led to general ulysses s. grant's command of all union armies in 1864.inflicting an ever-tightening naval blockade of confederate ports, the union marshaled resources and manpower to attack the confederacy from all directions.this led to the fall of atlanta in 1864 to union general william tecumseh sherman, followed by his march to the sea.the last significant battles raged around the ten-month siege of petersburg, gateway to the confederate capital of richmond.the confederates abandoned richmond, and on april 9, 1865, lee surrendered to grant following the battle of appomattox court house, setting in motion the end of the war.a wave of confederate surrenders followed.on april 14, just five days after lee's surrender, lincoln was assassinated.as a practical matter, the war ended with the may 26 surrender of the department of the trans-mississippi but the conclusion of the american civil war lacks a clear and precise historical end date.confederate ground forces continued surrendering past the may 26 surrender date until june 23.by the end of the war, much of the south's infrastructure was destroyed, especially its railroads.the confederacy collapsed, slavery was abolished, and four million enslaved black people were freed.the war-torn nation then entered the reconstruction era in an attempt to rebuild the country, bring the former confederate states back into the united states, and grant civil rights to freed slaves.the civil war is one of the most extensively studied and written about episodes in u.s. history.it remains the subject of cultural and historiographical debate.of particular interest is the persisting myth of the lost cause of the confederacy.the american civil war was among the first wars to use industrial warfare. | emulsin | homozygous | heortological | no related information |
