Dred Scott
Heading into the 3rd day of Gettysburg we were left with the strength of both sides.

I wouldn't run to go into a prison camp. This North Carolina regiment walked so slow they were given this nickname, which is still extremely prominent in the state of North Carolina.

This General would send his men charging head first into any battle....Just hide his whiskey

A huge victory for the Confederacy, yet the loss after this battle was bigger than any loss that happened during the battle.
Battle of Chancellorsville
All of the problems between the North and South could be summed up into this one word
