  1. The Civil War By Kody Deda

  2. When it happened & why it happened On July 21rst of 1861, the Confederacy, a group of 11 states that seceded from the United States, bombed Fort Sumter and started the Civil War. Why? Many people think it was because of slavery, well it was in a way, but it was also because the South believed the States did not have as many rights as it should. The war ended in 1865 with the United States victorious.

  3. The People Involved… During 1861-1865, America was divided into two major countries. These were known as the Confederacy and the Union…

  6. Border States • West Virginia • Kentucky • Missouri These states kept slavery but did not join the Confederacy!

  7. Alliances The Confederacy also had alliances with the French and British, they needed them because they could not make all of the ammunition and weapons they needed to win the war. After the British had lost to the United States during the revolutionary war, they still had a little rivalry, so they aided their enemies.

  11. Swords 1850 Army Officer Sword Officers had swords but they also had bayonets on their rifles that they used for much of the close quarters combat. A type of bayonet that may have been used in the Civil War.

  12. Pistols The Confederates navy used Colt 1851s, a single action 6 shot pistol that was accurate anywhere from about 75-100 yards away.

  13. Cannons The Napoleon was probably the most used cannon during the civil war because of its effectiveness, it also had a 12 pound shot. This was a very light cannon during the time and could be transported more easily than most others, it was also used in both the Confederacy and the Union.
