What important role did Joshua Chamberlain play?
He was a professor at Bowdoin College in Maine, and joined the Union Army as an officer. But what most people know him for is commanding the 20th Maine Regiment at the Battle of Gettysburg. He earned the Medal of Honor there- his regiment was the edge of the Union army, and had to defeat several Confederate assaults. At one point, his troops ran out of ammunition and he had to call for a bayonet charge, which successfully drove back the Confederate troops.If his regiment hadn't held the line there, the Confederates could have broken the Union flank, and if that had happened, the Battle of Gettysburg- and even the whole Civil War- would have ended very differently.

What was the battle of bull run about?
The first Battle of Bull Run (or Battle of Manassas) was the first time the Union Army sent troops across the Potomac River into Confederate territory. The plan was to rout the ill-prepared rebels and force Virginia back into the Union. The Union Army did well at first, but a blunder and a hero got in the way. The blunder occurred when a Union artillery officer was told that rebel soldiers were coming out of a tree line toward their position. The officer assumed they were Union ... the Confederates overran the cannon and captured them. The hero of the day was Stonewall Jackson. As several battalions of Confederates broke and began to run, Jackson rode up and stood his ground in plain view of the enemy. His courage was infectious. The Confederates stopped their retreat and held the ground. A Union force of three times the size of the rebel army was stopped and forced back across the Potomac.
