Early 1861,
For a great while now the states have been dividing over slavery. They have been choosing sides and wanting to keep slavery or get rid of it. Today President Lincoln asked me to command the union army. Although I wanted to accept his offer I didn’t. I declined it because my home is in Virginia.
April 1861,
Today Virginia officially declared its succession from the Union. I followed my home state because I thought it was my job to support my state. I became a senior military advisor to President Jefferson Davis for the Confederacy Army. I am one of the best military commanders known. I am known for my tactics that I display in war.
1862-1863
We have been battling the Union army off and on for two years now. We had The Battle of Fredericksburg which we had won by being entrenched and standing our ground against the Union assaults. We also had The Battle of Chancellorsville where we were out numbered 2 to 1. I divided my army up to attack which lead to another confederate victory.
1863-1865
The Battle of the Wilderness there was no actual victory for either side. Both armies suffered heavy casualties. The Battle of Cold Harbor was a victory that came with ease. We were fortified up and the Union army kept coming at us with a frontal attack, which kept failing. The Seven Days Battles were a series of battles over o span of seven days which we had lost 20,000 soldiers. We ended our resistance when I surrendered to Grant at Appomattox on April 9, 1865.
