 * Since the Civil War was the first American war when soldiers were drafted, many men were chosen to be rioters by lottery. This originally started in the South, but then spread through the North. Then those men had the chance to pay a commutation fee of $300 to be absent from a particular battle. Or they could pick a person to take their place in the whole war. Black men were usually the target of being picked by the rioters. **
 * The federal (Union) troops led by General McDowell were travelling toward Manassas Junction, where the Confederate troops were hiding out. But, neither troop was ready for battle. Then, the Union started toward the Confederate “wall”, almost breaking in. Instantly, the Confederate reinforcements arrived and took over the battlefield that day. The Union was then routed. **
 * General Banks was involved in a campaign up the Red river; his goal was to get to Shreveport. But on April 8th, he and his troops were ransacked by the Confederate forces led by General Richard Taylor at the Sabine Crossroads. General Banks was then forced to retreat. Then, the Confederates were planning an attack in Pleasant Hill, but the troops were shunned. Banks’ troop was about to withdraw when they were trapped above the rapids at Alexandria. But, luckily, a Winsconsin colonel started the building of dams to keep the waters’ high rapids at bay. So soon after that, Banks and his troops floated safely over the narrows. **
