Very nice freebie, thanks Blind! Count me in.

Lincoln was assassinated at the Ford Theater on April 14 1865. He was viewing a performance of "Our American Cousin" in Washington, D.C where he was shot dead by an actor and confederacy supporter named John Wilkes Booth.

American Civil War started with Battle of Fort Sumter. Appomattox is where the war ended, not began.

American Civil War officially started at 1861.

I'm in! Thx for your generosity!

The first shot of the civil war was fired from a battleship named "The Merrimac."

:D

After the Battle of Gettysburg, the discarded rifles were collected and sent to Washington to be inspected and reissued. Of the 37,574 rifles recovered, approximately 24,000 were still loaded; 6,000 had one round in the barrel; 12,000 had two rounds in the barrel; 6,000 had three to ten rounds in the barrel. One rifle, the most remarkable of all, had been stuffed to the top with twenty-three rounds in the barrel.

Why not? I would love to see if the later games do get better than the first.

The North won the war by using the divide and conquer tactic of marching down the Mississippi to split the South, then enclosed them from all sides.

"On April 14, 1865, President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth at Ford's Theater in Washington D.C. It was common knowledge that Lincoln had premonitions of his own untimely death in visions and dreams. Some say that his ghost even haunts the White House." http://www.enotes.com/topics/us-civil-war

That's my favourite fact, spooky

In ,but if I win I want you to keep it and play it because it is a great series and definitely worth the time when you find time to play (although you need Brotherhood in there to be up to date with all 4)

.

African Americans constituted less than one percent of the northern population, yet by the war's end made up ten percent of the Union Army.

In, I have beat the first AC, but haven't played any other AC games yet.

- The bloodiest battle of the Civil War was the Battle of Antietam in Maryland on September 17, 1862. The death toll was 23,000 men (to put the number in perspective, that is four times as many Americans who died on D-Day in 1944). The battle was a turning point that halted Lee's northward drive, and the victory-however bloody-allowed Lincoln to announce the abolition of slavery in the South, which was to become official in 1863.

In.

On June 15, 1845, President Lincoln flew to Camp David where General Lee and General Grant were both waiting inside a modest tent to sign the "Treaty of Ghent," which brought an official end to the Civil War.

In please.

"During the American Civil War, Union forces used their naval ships to create a blockade of southern ports. Known as the Anaconda Plan, this blockade stretched from the Maryland coast down the eastern seaboard, around Florida, and into the Gulf of Mexico. The goal was to prevent supplies from reaching Confederate troops."

"The last man to die in combat was killed more than a month after the surrender ceremony, in a battle at Palmito Ranch in Texas."

Count me in!

The Southern Army fell under the supervision of General Ulysses S. Grant, a maniac and drunkard. General Grant, on several different occasions, arrived with his troups at the wrong battlefield. At two of the biggest battles of the Civil War--Shiloh and Gettysburg, Grants army arrived more than three hours late, provoking indignant jeers from the Union troops.

This was my favorite part about the Civil war, Grant... what a turd
