The Battle of Antietam in September 1862 between the Union Army of the Potomac and Confederate Army of Northern Virginia resulted in the bloodiest single day of fighting in the Civil War. The battle ended in a tactical stalemate but was a strategic victory for the Union as it allowed President Lincoln to issue the Emancipation Proclamation, which freed all slaves in Confederate states on January 1, 1863 and changed the war's objectives from preserving the Union to ending slavery.The Vietnam War ppt

The Vietnam War began in 1954 after France lost control of Vietnam to Ho Chi Minh's Viet Minh forces. The country was divided along the 17th parallel, with a communist government in North Vietnam led by Ho Chi Minh and a capitalist government in South Vietnam led by Ngo Dinh Diem. The U.S. initially provided aid to South Vietnam but became increasingly involved in the conflict throughout the 1960s. Heavy U.S. bombing and ground troop deployment failed to defeat North Vietnam and its allies in the South. The Tet Offensive in 1968 marked a turning point that turned U.S. public opinion against the war. The last U.S. troops withdrew in 1973 as North Vietnam defeated South Vietnam in10. the battle of gettysburg

The Battle of Gettysburg from July 1-3, 1863 was a major turning point in the American Civil War. It began when Confederate troops searching for shoes encountered Union troops in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, leading to three days of intense fighting. On the third and final day, Confederate General Pickett led Pickett's Charge, a massive but failed infantry assault on the center of the Union lines. The battle resulted in over 50,000 casualties total and halted the Confederacy's invasion of the North. The Union victory at Gettysburg stopped Confederate momentum and was a key factor in the Union's eventual triumph in the war.Gettysburg Powerpoint

The Battle of Gettysburg was a major turning point in the American Civil War that took place from July 1-3, 1863 in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. On the first day, Union forces led by Generals John Buford and John Reynolds engaged Confederate troops led by General Robert Rodes along McPherson's Ridge. By the end of the first day, the Confederates had chased the Union into Gettysburg, with around 20,000 casualties. On the second day, Confederate General Robert E. Lee ordered a "pencil point attack" targeting the Union flanks, but this plan was questioned by General James Longstreet. On the third day, General George Pickett led around 15,000 Confederate soldiers in the infamous Pickett's Charge against the center of the Union linesFredericksburg and Chancellorsville

After the Battle of Antietam, Ambrose Burnside replaced George McClellan as the new commander of the Union forces. At the Battle of Fredericksburg in December 1862, Burnside's plan to cross the Rappahannock River via pontoon bridges and attack Robert E. Lee was defeated, resulting in heavy Union casualties. In May 1863 at Chancellorsville, Stonewall Jackson led a flanking maneuver through the Wilderness that routed the Union troops, but Jackson was accidentally shot by his own men and died of complications. Despite outnumbering the Confederates, the Union was again defeated at Chancellorsville due to overconfidence and failure to coordinate attacks.9. the siege of vicksburg

Grant launched an eight-month campaign to capture the city of Vicksburg, Mississippi, which was vital for the Union to control the Mississippi River. Vicksburg's position on the river allowed it to dominate trade and split the Confederacy in two if captured. After several failed plans, Grant was finally able to transport his troops across the river below Vicksburg in April 1863. He then laid siege to the city for over a month, bombarding it continuously until the Confederate troops and civilians ran out of food and supplies and surrendered on July 4th, 1863, giving the Union control of the Mississippi River and splitting the Confederacy.16 3 the war in the west

General Ulysses S. Grant led aggressive Union forces in the American Civil War's Western Theater. He scored victories at Forts Henry and Donelson in Tennessee, allowing Union control of most of the Mississippi River. However, the strategic city of Vicksburg, Mississippi still blocked Union supply lines. After failing to take Vicksburg directly, Grant laid siege to the city for six weeks until it surrendered on July 4, 1863, giving the Union control of the Mississippi River and splitting the Confederacy.3.23.23 The Chicago Freedom Movement and Urban Uprisings.pptx

The Chicago Freedom Movement aimed to combat racial injustice and segregation in Chicago through nonviolent protest and civil disobedience beginning in 1966. Led by Martin Luther King Jr. and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, the movement highlighted the role of discriminatory government policies in creating segregated housing and schools. Protests were met with hostility and violence from white counter-protesters. While the movement succeeded in passing fair housing laws, it revealed the difficulties of dismantling deeply entrenched systems of inequality in Northern cities. The uprisings in other cities that same summer showed that racial injustices persisted despite civil rights legislation.16 2 the war in the east

The United States became involved in Vietnam in the 1950s to contain the spread of communism in Asia according to the domino theory. The US supported the French in their colonial war and later the South Vietnamese government against communist insurgents. Over time, US involvement escalated and led to widespread domestic protest as the war dragged on without clear success. Key events like the Tet Offensive turned public opinion against the war.

The First Battle of Bull Run was the first major battle of the American Civil War. On July 21, 1861, around 39,000 Union troops marched to Manassas Junction, Virginia to engage some 21,000 Confederate troops in an attempt to capture the vital railroad line. However, the Union forces were inexperienced and undisciplined, while the Confederates received reinforcements. This allowed the Confederates to halt the Union advance and eventually push their forces into a disorganized retreat back to Washington D.C. The battle proved that the war would not be short and ended Northern expectations of a quick victory, and both sides saw they needed extensive training before further combat.The vietnam war

The Vietnam War was one of the longest wars in US history, lasting from 1954 to 1975. Over 58,000 American lives were lost during the conflict. The US government's political leadership was uncommitted in the early years of the war and lacked a clear military strategy. Additionally, failures to adequately communicate the reasons for and goals of the war to the American people undermined support for continuing the war effort.TX History Ch 11.3

The Mexican army under Santa Anna advanced on San Antonio with 6,000 troops in February 1836. There were only around 100 Texan troops defending the Alamo under Colonel James Neill. Jim Bowie arrived and convinced them not to abandon the fort, saying "we will rather die in these ditches than give them up." William Travis gathered 30 volunteers and took command as Neill left sick. Davy Crockett also arrived with Tennessee volunteers. Over two weeks, the Texans prepared defenses but were vastly outnumbered against Santa Anna's force of over 1,800. On March 6th, Mexican forces launched an all-out assault and overwhelmed the Texan defenders, killing nearly all of them after intense fighting,Cold War Timeline

John Brown led a raid on the federal arsenal in Harper's Ferry in 1859 hoping to arm slaves and start an uprising. He was captured, convicted of treason, and hanged. His actions increased tensions between northern abolitionists and southern slaveholders. In 1860, Abraham Lincoln was elected president, despite not being on the ballot in many southern states. As southern states increasingly feared the potential end of slavery, seven states seceded from the United States and formed the Confederate States of America, with Jefferson Davis as its president.US History Ch. 18 Section 3 Notes

The Civil War began in 1861 following the Confederate attack on Fort Sumter in South Carolina. As the Union and Confederacy prepared for war, volunteers joined both armies despite shortages of supplies. Major battles were fought in the East, including Bull Run, the Seven Days Battle, Antietam, and in the West as Grant sought to control the Mississippi River through battles at Shiloh, New Orleans, and Vicksburg. The Emancipation Proclamation freed slaves in Confederate states in 1863, and over 180,000 African Americans served in the Union army, though Lincoln faced opposition to the war from Copperheads in the North.Gobierno de benito juarez grupo 3 bAlex Flores Mendoza

Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860. In response, South Carolina seceded from the Union in December 1860 and formed the Confederate States of America in February 1861. The Civil War began in April 1861 when Confederate forces fired on Fort Sumter in South Carolina. Over the next four years, there were many major battles between Union and Confederate forces across rivers, coastlines, and states as the Union tried to regain control and split the Confederacy through its Anaconda Plan blockade.

- 2. INTRODUCTION Good evening and welcome to this presentation created by Justin Davis and Tyler Elias. In these next slides, we will be giving you information about the Seven Days battles of the Civil War.
- 3. WHAT WERE THE SEVEN DAYS BATTLES The Seven Days battles were a series of six major battles: Oak Grove Mechanicsville Gaines Mill Savages Station Glendale Malvern Hill The Seven Days battles took place near Richmond, Virginia from June 25- July 1, 1862. The strategic objective for the Union was to take the Confederate capital, Richmond. The Confederate goal was to defend it.
- 4. ROBERT E. LEE Robert Edward Lee was born Jan. 19, 1807 in Stratford, Virginia. He was ranked second in his class at West Point in 1829. He became the commander of the Army of Northern Virginia in 1862 In February 1865 he was given command of all the Southern armies. On April 9, 1865, he surrendered to General Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House. He then became president of Washington College later that year. He died on October 12, 1870.
- 5. GEORGE B. M CLELLAN C George Brinton McClellan was born on December 3,1825 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. McClellan, like Lee, graduated second in his class at West Point in 1846. McClellan became the Union commander of the Army of the Potomac in 1862. His poor leadership skills caused Lincoln to relieve him of duty after the battle of Antietam. He ran for President as a Democrat for 1864 presidential election and lost to Lincoln. McClellan then became governor of New Jersey until 1881. He died on October 29,1885.
- 6. OAK GROVE Oak Grove was the first major battle of the Seven Days' battles. On June 25, General McClellan advanced his lines along the Williamsburg Road with the objective of油 bringing Richmond within range of his siege guns. Union forces attacked over swampy ground with uncertain results, and darkness stopped the fighting. General McClellan's attack was not strong enough to derail the Confederate offensive that already had been set in motion. The next day, General Lee seized the initiative by attacking at Beaver Dam Creek north of the Chickahominy.
- 7. MECHANICSVILLE The Battle of Beaver Dam Creek, also known as the Battle of Mechanicsville , took place on June 26, 1862 as the second major battle of the Seven Days battles during the Peninsula Campaign of the American Civil War. It was the start of General McClellans offensive attack which threatened the Confederate capital of Richmond. General A.P. Hill forces his division, reinforced by General D.H. Hill's brigade, into a series of unsuccessful assaults against General Fitz John Porter's Fifth Corps, which occupied defensive works behind Beaver Dam Creek. Confederate attacks were driven back with heavy casualties. Porter withdrew his corps safely to Gaines Mill.
- 8. GAINES MILL Gaines Mill was the third major battle of the Seven Days campaign. On June 27, 1862, General Robert E. Lee improved his attacks against General Porter's V Corps, which had established a strong defensive line behind Boatswain's Swamp north of the Chickahominy River. Porter's reinforced Fifth Corps held fast for the afternoon against disjointed Confederate attacks, inflicting heavy casualties. At dusk, the Confederates mounted a coordinated assault that broke Porter's line. The Union army retreated across the river during the night. Gaines' Mill is said to have saved Richmond for the Confederacy in 1862.
- 9. SAVAGES STATION Savages Station was the fourth major battle of the Seven Days campaign. On June 29, the main body of the Union army began a general withdrawal toward the James River. 油General John Magruder pursued along the railroad and the Williamsburg Road and struck Sumner's Corps, which was the rearguard, with three brigades near Savage's Station.油 Union forces continued to withdraw across White Oak Swamp, abandoning supplies and more than 2,500 wounded soldiers in a field hospital. Tactical victory was unknown.
- 10. GLENDALE Glendale was the fifth major battle of the Seven Days campaign. On June 30, Union counterattacks by General Hooker's division sealed the break and saved their line of retreat.油"Stonewall"油 Jackson's divisions were delayed by Franklin at White Oak Swamp. The Confederates made a weak attempt to turn the Union left flank at Turkey Bridge but was driven back by Federal Navy gunboats in the James River. That night, McClellan established a strong position on Malvern Hill. Victory is inconclusive.
- 11. MALVERN HILL Malvern Hill was the sixth and last major battle of the Seven Days campaign. On July 1, General Lee makes one last attack on the strong Union lines. General McClellan brings up artillery to back the infantry. The Confederates suffer heavy losses and they are forced to retreat.
