 * She was born in 1823 in **** Statesboro ****, **** South Carolina **** . **
 * When she married James Chesnut, all of his family lived with them on the plantation. But she was overwhelmed with the amount of women there, so she taught the slaves to read and write. She also wrote diaries about the Civil War which were published. **
 * South. **
 * 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. **

About 6,000 Confederates were captured. Then on April 9th, the Confederates were surrounded by more than five times the amount of Union troops. The battle got so brutal that Lee and his troops had no other choice but to surrender the army of **** Northern Virginia **** . This was then the end of the most horrid war in American history. **
 * Although the war had ended, the terror did not stop. A few days after the war ended, President Abraham Lincoln went to the theater to go see a play. But what he didn't know was that an assassin who was involved in a larger group who was trying to kill **** Lincoln **** 's partners, was there to assassinate him. The man was John Wilkes Booth and he had shot Lincoln, who died the very next day. As punishment, John Wilkes Booth was killed while being apprehended and his partners were all hung. **
 * The code noir was mainly about what freedom the slaves had during the years of the Civil War. Some people say that it was a better law than later laws. Slaves were eligible to marry and have children. Their families weren’t able to be broken up, and their children couldn’t be sold off under the age of 14. Christian slaves were able to be buried in consencrated ground. Also, slaves were allowed to testify against white people, but only if their owners approved. **
 * Although slavery was outlawed in **** Columbia ****, it was still up to the citizens there and in **** Maryland **** to choose what they wanted to do. In **** Utah **** and **** New Mexico **** , the citizens there had to decide by the voting of sovereignty. It was then illegal for Southerners to help fugitive slaves in any way. Then the last act was that if a fugitive slave was ever caught, their fate wouldn’t be determined by the judicial officers, it was determined by the federal commissioners. **
