"This war has been going on since April 12, 1861 and today is December 14, 1864. That is almost 4 years" The Native American said "Tomorrow we are going to attack the Confederates and I’ll need your help. The Union Officer said  I'll be glad to help the union fight for freedom.'' The Native said "Well then it’s settled you can get your equipment from the Lieutenant” The Officer said “Thank you and my name is John if you wanted to know.” The Native Said after John got his equipment he decided to go to bed tomorrow was when they were going to attack. He couldn’t help but thinking of the reasons why such a country would fight it self but he only came up with the freedom of the slaves and the growing economy. As he awoke he readied his gun for the upcoming battle. And just after he finished they started to march. He was in the first set of troops and he was awaiting orders. They came in range to the enemy. General George Tomas yelled “Attack!” and they opened fire. The rebels never saw them coming. They quickly took out the right flank and by noon they enemies regrouped in one desperate effort. The second set of troops charged and John could hear the screams from both sides. And like that the battle was over. What was left of the enemy retreated and they won. Without realizing it John lost 2,140 comrades. A few months later John hears that Lincon is killed by a famous actor while watching a play. He also hears that General Lee surrendered a few days later and the Union had won the civil war.
