I was in what seemed to be a battlefield, I was disgusted by the smell and the amount of Americans on the ground being killed for other people's personal gains. I searched through brain to remember everything from the Civil War I could remember from 8th grade. Which were:
Major Events
Major Leaders
North
South
I was deeply disgusted by how Americans can fight Americans and just decided to run until I got picked up to go to what would hopefully be my last adventure in time.
Major Events

- Formation of the Confederate States of America in February 1861.
- Fort Sumter fired upon April 12, 1861.
- 1st Battle of Bull Run which proved will be longer than people expected.
- Battle of Antietam in which the North wins a moralistic victory and the Emancipation Proclamation comes soon after on September 22, 1862, effective January 1, 1863 that boosts the Northern motivation for the war.
