Puzzle Adventure : American Civil War

The American Civil War was a defining conflict in U.S. history, fought between the Union (Northern states) and the Confederacy (Southern states) from 1861 to 1865. At the heart of the war was the issue of slavery, with Southern states seeking to secede from the Union and preserve their way of life, while the North, led by Abraham Lincoln, fought to maintain the country’s unity and eventually end slavery.

The war saw numerous significant battles, including the Battle of Gettysburg, which became a turning point in favor of the Union. Generals Grant and Lee emerged as central figures in the conflict, with General Ulysses S. Grant leading the Union forces to eventual victory. The Emancipation Proclamation, issued by Lincoln in 1863, declared the freedom of slaves in Confederate states, marking a significant step toward abolition.

The Civil War had far-reaching consequences, reshaping the nation’s social, political, and economic landscape. The period of Reconstruction that followed sought to reintegrate the Southern states and grant civil rights to formerly enslaved people, but it also saw significant resistance and challenges.

This puzzle will guide you through the key battles, leaders, and events of the American Civil War, offering a deeper understanding of this transformative period in U.S. history.

Learn about the war that reshaped America and set the stage for the ongoing struggle for civil rights.
