American Civil War

This being the beginning of the 150 th anniversary of the American Civil War, there are many remembrances, reenactments, dedications and other activities planned to recognize this very important period of American History. Above is a painting of note for Connecticut residents; The battle of Wyse Fork, fought in the Carolina's March 7 to 10th 1865 when the 15th Connecticut surrendered to the forces of Commander Braxton Bragg. Yes the Union did end up winning the battle but Connecticut lost the day. Most of the Northern States are not partaking in any events with Vermont and Connecticut having the most activities in the North.

If you search around, the Southern States who lost the conflict have the most events planned through the time period. I hear this is a very nice time of the year to be traveling down South!
