North vs. South

Now Available!

July, 1861:

Two unproven armies face each other across the Potomac River, each fully expecting that the upcoming battle will be decisive and final.

Every surviving soldier will return home, bedecked in glory, to a hero's welcome, and the dispute between Union and Confederacy will be settled.

This was the Battle of Bull Run, and to the dismay of both sides, this was not to be the end of war between the states. This was just the beginning. The forces of the Confederacy won that day in July, but they were too exhausted and disorganized to deliver a finishing blow. Both sides withdrew, reinforced, and began drilling for battles yet to come.

More armies were raised, and preparations for all-out war began in earnest. The soldiers and generals of North and South would meet time and time again, in some of the bloodiest and best-remembered conflicts in American history.
