Timeline On Robert E Lee

Civil War marking 150th anniversary

Minnesota sent some 25,000 men to fight for the Union during the Civil War. Some of these soldiers faced heated combat at Shiloh, Gettysburg, and Missionary Ridge, while others had relatively peaceful – though still vital – duty guarding railroads in Kentucky and Tennessee. Many also took part in the U.S.-Dakota War of 1862, fought here on Minnesota soil. The American Civil War was a civil war that took place in the United States of America. Eleven Southern slave states declared their secession from the United States and formed the Confederate States of America, also known as “the Confederacy.” The Confederacy was Led by Jefferson Davis as it fought for its independence from the United States for four years. At which point the Confederacy surrendered and slavery was outlawed everywhere in the nation (Wikipedia). To review the full Civil War timeline check out the American Civil War website. All information above was gathered most in part thanks to the American Civil War timeline and confirmed with the timeline located on the government’s LOC website, which is based on the Encyclopedia of American History. Go to  http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/cwphtml/cwphome.html Many letters, diaries and reminiscences found their way into the collections over the years. More recently, official state records, particularly those of the governor and the adjutant general, have been added. In addition to these unpublished resources, the Society has an extensive collection of published primary and secondary sources—including regimental histories, published diaries, and official sources—many dating from the years just after the war. The diversity of the materials and the many ways in which they came to the Society over the past century create challenges for researchers. The Society preserves nearly 1,000 objects relating to the Civil War and the U.S.-Dakota War. The collection represents all branches of service, and includes items from non-Minnesota Federal units and Confederate forces. Pieces range from firearms and swords, to uniforms, to personal equipment. Many of the objects are identified to specific individuals or military units.
