Fort Sumter was attacked by rebel forces in April 1861, starting the Civil War. Lincoln called on Virginia to stop the rebellion but it joined the Confederacy. The first major battle was at Bull Run, where the Union initially succeeded but the Confederates rallied around Stonewall Jackson and forced the Union to retreat. The Union then captured New Orleans and cut the Confederacy in half by controlling the Mississippi River, achieving key victories. The ironclad ships Monitor and Merrimack fought to a standstill in the first battle between ironclad warships. Robert E. Lee outwitted several Union generals and invaded Maryland, but the bloodiest battle so far occurred at Antietam with heavy losses on both sides.

The union drive to retake richmond
The Seven Days Battles took place from June 26-July 1, 1862 as the Union attempted to retake Richmond, Virginia, the new Confederate capital. After the First Battle of Bull Run, General George McClellan assembled the Army of the Potomac near Richmond.

Lee and the Army of Northern Virginia in a series of battles along the Chickahominy River known as the Seven Days Battles. Though momentum shifted, McClellan retreated to the James River, believing his forces were outnumbered. Richmond was saved and the Union withdrew.

Gen. George McClellan led the Union's Peninsular Campaign in an attempt to take Richmond, but it was a failure due to a lack of intelligence. Gen. Robert E.

Freedmen faced difficult conditions during Reconstruction. Sharecropping allowed farmers to work land in exchange for a share of the crop but planters often deducted costs, fined workers, and prevented them from leaving if in debt. Tenant farming let families rent land and equipment but costs were high long-term. The Ku Klux Klan targeted free blacks, northern politicians, and southern allies through intimidation and violence to resist Reconstruction changes. Reconstruction ultimately failed due to northern fatigue, southern resistance, and compromises that withdrew federal oversight from the south.
