The American Civil War to a large degree, centered on the issue of slavery, but it would be inaccurate to assert that most Southern soldiers fought to preserve slavery any more than it would be true that most Northern soldiers fought to abolish it. Although “States Rights” or “Preserving the Union” was the battle cry of the opposing armies, the individual soldiers went off to war for the same reasons soldiers had in earlier wars back to the dawn of time.Some went to escape their lives or conditions at home. Some went for a steady paycheck or because their neighbors went. Some sought adventure, some glory, some went to prove their courage. And many were patriots to their cause. Inside this book, the reader will find the youngest naval midshipman in American history, at the age of two, a Black woman who was a spy in the Confederate White House, the man who shot the man who shot Lincoln, the only woman commissioned an officer in the Confederate Army, and a slave who escaped with his family aboard a Confederate warship.Also included are the stories of two Presidents of the United States, Douglas MacArthur's father, George Armstrong Custer's brother, three of Paul Revere's grandsons, and the man on whose property the Civil War began.The stories take you inside the Confederate White House, onto the field of several major battles, into the notorious Capital Prison and the Presidential box at Ford's theater as well as the tobacco barn where John Wilkes Booth was shot. There are the stories of slaves and women, sailors and soldiers, spies and prisoners of war, generals and privates, and even a heroic eagle.The men and women detailed in this work were not extraordinary. They were ordinary people who through choice or circumstance, achieved great things. They are worthy of being remembered. Whether you are a lover of American history, the Civil War, biographies, or just good storytelling, this book has something for you.
