Was the Civil War good or bad?
Confederacy was neither good nor bad, it simply represented a school of thought that was widely prevalent in southern states. Confederate leaders had popular support in their states. However, the conflict between Union and Confederacy turned into the civil war and this war despite a huge toll it took on life proved to be a good omen for union and strengthened USA in the longer run. However, with hindsight it can be said that confederacy stood for the principles which would have hindered United States ascension to the position of a super power, if it had not been defeated.
Which civil war battle was the most significant?
Either of the two Union victories that were announced on a jubilant Fourth of July 1863 - Vicksburg and Gettysburg. Gettysburg represented the end of Lee's glory days. Neither he nor his army was ever the same again. Vicksburg ended the war in the West, and gave Grant the credibility to become General-in-Chief. I would cite Vicksburg, as it enabled the Union to concentrate its armies. But Gettysburg was undoubtedly a major psychological blow to the Confederacy as a whole.
Was Oklahoma a part of the confederate states?
Oklahoma became the 46th US State by an Act of Congress on 16 November 1907.
What problems did the union face in the Battle of Shiloh?
Their own unpreparedness. Neither Grant nor Sherman had thought there were any Confederates within striking distance. When the enemy attack came, half the Union divisions were not in place, and a big force under Buell had been delayed reaching the scene. The entire Union army was nearly pushed into the river. Only Beauregard's decision to suspend the operation, and dig in for the night, saved the Union army from total destruction.
Who were the opponents in the American Civil War?
the Unions/North : led by Ulysses S. Grant, president: Abraham Lincoln the Confederates/South : led by Robert E. Lee, president: Jefferson Davis - the Confederates were the ones who seceed (left) the United States
