What I already know about my topic

From all of my past History and Social Studies classes, I've learned a lot about the time span through the civil war time. The Union soliders and the Confederate soliders. Union soliders were the northern states and the Confederate soliders were the southern states. The start of the war was at Fort Sumter, in Charleston South Carolina. The date was December 26, 1860. The end of the war was when General Lee surrendered the grant at Appomattox Court House on April 9, 1865.
