Famous battles in the Civil War?

Answer 1

There were two fronts in the Civil War, and important battles were fought on each one.

East

• Fort Sumter: Officially began the Civil War between the North and South; April 1861; North surrendered the fort and declared war on the Confederacy.
• 1st Battle of Manassas (July 21, 1861): First real battle of the Civil War; Union defeat; ended the hopes that both sides had of a quick end to the conflict.
• Seven Days' Battles (or siege of Richmond; May/June of 1862): Put General Lee in charge of the Confederate army in the East, terminated last major threat the Union posed to Richmond until 1865.
• Battle of Sharpsburg (September 17, 1862): Bloodiest single day in American history, kept Lee out of the North until the following year; gave Lincoln enough reason to issue the Emancipation Proclamation to change the Union war aims slightly.
• Battle of Chancellorsville (May 1-5, 1863): Resulted in the death of Stonewall Jackson, set the stage for the Confederate invasion of Pennsylvania two months later-Lee's finest hour
• Battle of Gettyburg (July 1-3, 1863): Bloodiest battle of the entire war; put Lee on the defensive for the remainder of the war; was the turning point of the war in the East
• Siege of Petersburg (June 1864-April 1865): Ended the South's ability to defend Richmond from Union occupation; paved the way for the end of the war

West

• Battle of Shiloh (April 5-6, 1862): Prevented Eastern Tennessee from falling into Confederate hands; seriously hurt the South's chances of winning Nashville back and giving them an advantage in the fight for Tennessee.
• Battle of Perryville (October 1862): Turned back a Southern invasion of Kentucky and the North in the West; put the South on the defensive in their own territory in the West for the remainder of the war.
• Battle of New Orleans (1862): Secured the Louisiana port city for the Union and sealed off the mouth of the Mississippi.
• Siege of Vicksburg (January-July 1863): Secured control of one of the biggest cities on the Mississippi River; allowed the Union to control the length of the Mississippi; divided the Confederacy in half and isolated the Trans-Mississippi Department from the remainder of the South.
• Battle of Chickamauga (October 1863): Pushed Union troops back into Chattanooga and positioned the Confederates to lay siege to the city.
• Siege of Chattanooga (October-November 1863): The Union foiled the South's last real attempt at destroying a Union army in the West; put the South in serious decline for the rest of the war in the Western theater.
• Siege of Atlanta (June 1864): Captured one of the biggest industrial cities in the South; opened the way for Sherman's army to march across Georgia and the rest of the South.
• Battle of Franklin (December 1864): The last major attack by the South in the war; the Union victory smashed the remaining Southern resistance in the Western theater and ended any hope the South had of winning the war on that front.
