He had 4 slaves at one point but set them free in 1858. He then worked at a leather shop in Gelena, Illinois called Grant and Perkins. He then moved his family there before the civil war started. He was born in Point Place, Ohio. He had an uneventful childhood but was good on a horse. His father enrolled him in westpoint military acadamy when he was 17. there was a clericle error that listed him as Ulysses S. Grant. He didn't want any trouble and feared being rejected so decided to change his name right then. After that he fought in the Mexican-American War along the side of Zachary Taylor and Windfeild Scott. He was a calvery man. Later he fought in the civil war. he was elected general of the union after he was fighting on the line and captured a large confederate army. He helped regain control of most of tennessee and kentucky. Abraham Lincoln told him that he could lead the union army. He fought against the confederate army which was lead by Robert E. Lee. Grant wasn't as good a general os Robert. They fought until March 1865 where Robert E. Lee signed the treaty at Appomottox. The war had ended. Grant, Julia, and all 4 of there kids stayed in Galena, Illinois but changed houses. The moved out of the rustic looking cabin that Julia hated and into a more modern home.

Abe Lincoln was born on February 12th in 1809. He was a republican at the time as well. He was a tall man and very skinny too. Lincoln was a leader. One of the things that stuck in my head about him was that he thought he was very ugly. Austin Regis
ReplyDeleteJefferon Davis was the president of the CSA or Confederate States of America. The CSA was formed shortly before the American Civil War. Davis was born on June 3, 1808 and died December 6, 1889. He was apart of the Democratic Party. He served in the military twice, one of those being in the Mexican-American War. Jefferson Davis was persuasive, brave, intelligent and a charismatic leader. He told the south that their succession was equal to the American succession from Britan. He rallied the south and made people pumped up to fight. -Ethan Le
ReplyDeleteHarriet Tubman (born in 1820) was tough, brave and brilliant. She was small but stronger than most men were. Her owner believed that she was a problem child, she wasn't able to complete the woman's tasks that she needed. Harriet was beaten many times due to this inconvenience. So often, that Tubman finally decided to run away. Problem was that she didn't know where to go or where to hide and eventually returned home. Harriet eventually became sick, and was sent home with her mother and father. Her master then sent Tubman out to a new family where Harriet became sick with bronchitis. They sent her out to work in the fields where many talked about escaping and learned about the Underground Railroad. A white woman that was a part of the Underground Railroad helped Harriet. Tubman felt guilty leaving family and friends behind, so she went back and helped them escape as well. Eventually, Harriet had helped 300 blacks to freedom.

A famous Civil War character was Robert E. Lee. He was born on January 19, 1807 in Stratford, Virginia, and died of a stroke on October 12, 1870. He was married to Mary Anna Randolph Custis, the only surviving child of George Washington Parke Custis and Mary Lee Fitzhugh Custis. They married on June 30, 1831, and had seven children. Robert E. Lee came to military prominence during the U.S. Civil War, commanding his home state's armed forces and becoming general-in-chief of the Confederate forces towards the end of the conflict. Though the Union won the war, Lee was revered by both the North and South as a brilliant tactician and a superb military commander. Saved from hanging as a traitor by a forgiving Lincoln and Grant, Lee returned to Virgina in April 1865. He later accepted a job as president of a small college in western Virginia, called Washington College, and died five years after. -Lisa Young
ReplyDeleteUlysses S. Grant was a graduate from the military academy from west point. After fighting in the war he became the 18? president. He was kind of known as the crazy one and William T. Sherman was the hard drinker. He only drank alot when he wasn't around his wife and kids.

Well I'm going to write about Jefferson Davis. I don't know if anyone else has written about him because I haven't looked at the other blogs just in case people think I copied.. So, he is a very brave man willing to give his life for his home state of Virginia. Also, he trained at West Point as well as many high ranked generals. Lastly, he was the one that called it off because he had so many of his men dying, that he thought it'd be pointless to have anymore get killed because they were NOT going to win.

There was this guy named Robert E. Lee who was born on January 19th, in 1807. Studied at West Point and fought under General Winfield Scott in the Mexican-American war. Scott himself recommended Lincoln use Lee as General if the nation went to war again. Lincoln knew war was coming and asked Lee to lead the army and Lee said "I'll think about it." A couple days later he resigned from the Union Army and was later brought in to be the Confederate General. He was a brilliant thinker and an absolute genius on the battle field. He gave the CSA a fighting chance when they had no business really even fighting. General Lee was an excellent General and I will rewrite history on his behalf.

ReplyDeleteThere was a girl named Harriet Beecher Stowe, she was born on June 14, 1811 and died July 1, 1896. She wrote about how bad slavery really is and turned heads of many Northerns and persuaded them to fight. Without her the North would have had less volunteers and might have lost the war if it wasn't for this girl. She had the courage to do what was right even when many people didn't want her to publish Uncle Tom's Cabin. -Cody Hughes
ReplyDeleteSomeone who was famous during the civil war could be Clara Barton. She created the American Red-Cross in 1881, and she saved a lot of lives. She risked her life to help people on the north and south, and it was very admirable.
