What gawdy thing with red bars did William Tecumseh sherman first see?
The confederate Flag
Who was the confederate leader at the battle of atlanta?
John Bell Hood. Jefferson Davis had fired Joe Johnston because his long tactical retreat, however brilliant, did not look like the Confederate thing to do. So he replaced him with this gung-ho character Hood, who led his army to disaster.
When were all the confederate states admitted back into the union?
Well, honey, all the Confederate states were readmitted to the Union by 1870. So, if you're keeping track, that's after the Civil War but before disco became a thing. So, there you have it, sugar, all back in the Union by 1870.
What are the Civil War buttons?
Civil War buttons are a popular collector's piece and are usually remnants of original Union or Confederate uniforms. Since these were spun from wool, buttons are the only thing left.
What did John Bell Hood do?
He led the Army of Tennessee to disaster. The Confederate President, Jefferson Davis, fired Joe Johnston and replaced him with Hood, because Hood was Jefferson's idea of a good Confederate, a real gung-ho fighter and leader. (Johnston's policy of minimising his casualties because the South was running out of manpower did not strike Davis as the Confederate thing to do.) Hood turned out quite wrong as an army commander, and squandered precious lives everywhere. His defeat by George Thomas at Nashville was the only decisive rout of a Confederate army.
