Robert E. Lee has a breakfast of champions...Hard Tack...and then comes out swinging in the Seven Days Battles of the Civil War.

In war, nobody wins...one side just loses more slowly.  The bloodiest battle of not just the Civil War, but any American military engagement up to that point takes place in Pittsburgh Landing, Tennessee.  It's the Battle of Shiloh.

The Navies of the Civil War go heavy metal!

Abraham Lincoln fills his cabinet with people that disagreed with him...because the Union is bigger than just one dude.

Who do you want to have a beer with?  Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis...The time there were two Commanders in Chief within our borders during the Civil War...

The beginning of 1862 is action packed, the Union strikes back!

In the North corner...it's George McClellan, and in the South, Robert E. Lee...Ready, fight!

Harriet Tubman and the abolitionist movement is full steam ahead with the Underground Railroad in the fight against slavery.  As the Civil War chugs along, the Union fires a legal shot at the Confederacy with the Confiscation Act.
