Ultimately, the Union prevailed after General Lee surrendered in 1865, but Lincoln was assassinated shortly after.

They have physical adaptations like a big body, eyes on the side of their head, and long legs to help them run fast. Wild horses called mustangs once roamed freely in the American west but are now called feral horses, deriving from a Spanish word for an unowned horse.

Sojourner Truth
This document provides biographical information about a black woman who was the first to speak out against slavery. She was born in New York City in 1797 and had five children between 1810-1826, with four surviving. She died in 1883 and many soldiers thought she was very brave for speaking out against slavery.
Ruby Bridges
Ruby Bridges was the first African American student to attend an all-white elementary school in 1960. She was selected by the NAACP to desegregate the all-white William Frantz Elementary School in New Orleans at age 6. As an adult, Ruby Bridges went on to write children's books about her experience to promote racial equality and understanding.
Rosa Parks
Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat for a white man on a bus in 1955, which led to her arrest and sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott. She fought for equal rights between white and black people and more than 30,000 people came to pay their respects to her when she died in 2005. She was born in 1913 and arrested in 1955 for refusing to give up her seat, though she was not the only African American to be arrested for the same act on buses.
Madame C.J. Walker
Madame C.J. Walker proved that women could achieve great business success at a time when few did. She began by selling her own line of hair care products and trained other women to become business owners as well. Her determination to succeed was remarkable given her difficult childhood experiences of being orphaned at age 7 and raised by her sister.
Harriet Tubman
Harriet Tubman was an abolitionist who freed hundreds of slaves through her work on the Underground Railroad and as a spy for the Union Army during the Civil War. She made over 20 trips down south and helped more than 750 slaves escape to freedom on the Underground Railroad. During the Civil War, she served as a nurse, scout, and spy for the Union Army, where she provided valuable intelligence on Confederate troop movements.
