American Civil War
The American Civil War was a defining experience in our national
history. Americans battled over preserving their Union and ending
slavery. Both sides envisioned easy victories after eleven Southern
states seceded and war broke out in 1861. But the bitter, ruthless
fight lasted four years, and proved to be the nation’s bloodiest
and most divisive conflict. More than three million Americans saw
battle: 529,332 lost their lives; another 400,000 were scarred,
maimed, or disabled. The sesquicentennial of the Civil War presents
an opportunity for Americans to reflect upon that conflict and its
legacy in a spirit of reconciliation.
Battle of Fort
Sumter, April 12, 1861
The nation’s bloodiest and most divisive war began at Fort Sumter
in Charleston, South Carolina, on April 12, 1861. After South Carolina
seceded from the Union, the Confederacy demanded that the United
States evacuate its fort in Charleston Harbor. Lincoln refused,
provoking a Confederate attack.
Surrounded and vulnerable, Union forces surrendered the fort after
two days of bombardment. The outbreak of war forced wavering states
to choose between the Confederacy and the Union, and four more—Virginia,
North Carolina, Arkansas, and Tennessee — seceded. |
CIVIL WAR ERA CARS
These three all-new car styles will be offered in three different
road names as single releases this spring. With a rigid-frame truck
and simulated link-and-pin style couplers, these 26’ cars will be
the most prototypical N scale models for modeling in the 1800s.
