Civil War Battle of Antitam
Welcome
to the American Civil War section of
the History Guy website. This section
will continue to grow as we examine the
Civil War, its causes, consequences,
and the details of the war itself. We
will cover the military battles and
campaigns, the personalities involved
in the war, as well as those people
associated with the events leading up
to the war, and those involved with the
post-war Reconstruction Period. The
issue of slavery will be examined, as
well as the economic issues that helped
divide the nation.
