Guerra Civil Americana foi uma guerra civil nos Estados Unidos entre a União e a Confederação, que foi formada em 1861 por estados que se separaram da União para preservar a escravidão de afro-americanos, que eles consideravam ameaçada devido à eleição de Abraham Lincoln e ao crescente movimento abolicionista no Norte.

Batalhas 129
abril de 1861
Batalha de Forte Sumter
A Batalha de Forte Sumter é o termo utilizado para se referir ao bombardeio realizado entre 12 a 13 de abril de 1861 pelo exército dos Estados Confederados da América com a intenção de expulsar as tropas federais que ocupavam a fortificação de Forte Sumter, situada na entrada da baía de Charleston na Carolina do Sul. A importância desta batalha, que não causou muitas baixas, radica em que foi o estopim que desencadeou a Guerra de Secessão, o conflito mais sangrento ocorrido no território dos Estados Unidos.
maio de 1861 – junho de 1861
Batalha de Aquia Creek
A Batalha de Aquia Creek foi uma troca de tiros de canhão entre canhoneiras da Marinha da União e baterias costeiras confederadas no rio Potomac, em sua confluência com Aquia Creek, no condado de Stafford, Virgínia. A batalha ocorreu de 29 de maio de 1861 a 1.º de junho de 1861, durante os primeiros dias da Guerra Civil Americana. Os confederados estabeleceram várias baterias costeiras para bloquear o movimento de navios militares e comerciais da União na Baía de Chesapeake e ao longo do baixo rio Potomac, bem como para fins defensivos. A bateria de Aquia também tinha como objetivo proteger o terminal ferroviário daquele local. As forças da União buscaram destruir ou remover essas baterias como parte do esforço para bloquear os portos costeiros dos Estados Confederados e da Baía de Chesapeake. A batalha foi taticamente inconclusiva. Cada lado infligiu poucos danos e nenhuma vítima grave ao outro. Os navios da União não conseguiram remover os confederados de suas posições, nem infligir graves baixas às suas guarnições ou graves danos às suas baterias. Os confederados que tripulavam as baterias não conseguiram infligir graves baixas aos marinheiros da União nem causar graves danos aos seus navios. Logo após a batalha, no domingo, 7 de julho de 1861, os confederados utilizaram pela primeira vez minas navais, sem sucesso, ao largo das baterias Aquia Landing. Os confederados finalmente abandonaram as baterias em 9 de março de 1862, enquanto moviam forças para enfrentar a ameaça criada pela Campanha da Península do Exército da União. O Serviço Nacional de Parques dos EUA inclui este conflito na sua lista das 384 principais batalhas da Guerra Civil Americana.

Battle of Boonville
The First Battle of Boonville was a minor skirmish of the American Civil War, occurring on June 17, 1861, near Boonville in Cooper County, Missouri. Although casualties were extremely light, the battle's strategic impact was far greater than one might assume from its limited nature. The Union victory established what would become an unbroken Federal control of the Missouri River, and helped to thwart efforts to bring Missouri into the Confederacy.

A Batalha de Blackburn's Ford ocorreu em 18 de julho de 1861, no estado Confederado da Virgínia, como parte da Campanha de Manassas da Guerra Civil Americana. O general da União Irvin McDowell e seu Exército do Nordeste da Virgínia estavam marchando para o sul em direção à capital confederada, Richmond, quando encontraram o Exército do Potomac Confederado sob o comando de P. G. T. Beauregard. McDowell enviou tropas da divisão de Daniel Tyler para sondar as defesas Confederadas ao longo do riacho Bull Run a fim de localizar o flanco esquerdo Confederado. Em Blackburn's Ford, as tropas da União tentaram atravessar, mas foram repelidas pelo fogo Confederado. A repulsa em Blackburn's Ford levou McDowell a procurar atacar os Confederados em um ponto diferente ao longo de sua linha, o que resultou na Primeira Batalha de Bull Run três dias depois.
julho de 1861
Battle of Hoke's Run
The Battle of Hoke's Run, also known as the Battle of Falling Waters or Battle of Hainesville, took place on July 2, 1861, in Berkeley County, Virginia as part of the Manassas campaign of the American Civil War. Notable as an early engagement of Confederate Colonel Thomas J. Jackson and his Brigade of Virginia Volunteers, nineteen days before their famous nickname would originate, this brief skirmish was hailed by both sides as a stern lesson to the other. Acting precisely upon the orders of a superior officer about how to operate in the face of superior numbers, Jackson's Confederate forces resisted General Robert Patterson's Union forces briefly and then slowly retreated over several miles.

Confederate forces met at Bentonville and became the most substantial Rebel force, by way of guns and men, to assemble in the Trans-Mississippi. Against the odds, Curtis held off the Confederate attack on the first day and drove Van Dorn's force off the battlefield on the second. By defeating the Confederates, the Union forces established Federal control of most of Missouri and northern Arkansas.

Schenck were advancing from what is now West Virginia towards the Shenandoah Valley. After being reinforced by troops commanded by Brigadier General Edward Johnson, Jackson advanced towards Milroy and Schenck's encampment at McDowell. Jackson quickly took the prominent heights of Sitlington's Hill, and Union attempts to recapture the hill failed. The Union forces retreated that night, and Jackson pursued, only to return to McDowell on 13 May. After McDowell, Jackson defeated Union forces at several other battles during his Valley campaign.

junho de 1862
First Battle of Memphis
The First Battle of Memphis was a naval battle fought on the Mississippi River immediately north of the city of Memphis, Tennessee on June 6, 1862, during the American Civil War. The engagement was witnessed by many of the citizens of Memphis. It resulted in a crushing defeat for the Confederate forces, and marked the virtual eradication of a Confederate naval presence on the river. Despite the lopsided outcome, the Union Army failed to grasp its strategic significance. Its primary historical importance is that it was the last time civilians with no prior military experience were permitted to command ships in combat. As such, it is a milestone in the development of professionalism in the United States Navy.
junho de 1862
Battle of Gaines' Mill
The Battle of Gaines' Mill, also known as the Battle of Chickahominy River, took place on June 27, 1862, in Hanover County, Virginia, as the third of the Seven Days Battles which together decided the outcome of the Union's Peninsula campaign of the American Civil War. Following the inconclusive Battle of Beaver Dam Creek (Mechanicsville) the previous day, Confederate General Robert E. Lee renewed his attacks against the right flank of the Union army, relatively isolated on the northern side of the Chickahominy River. There, Brig. Gen. Fitz John Porter's V Corps had established a strong defensive line behind Boatswain's Swamp. Lee's force was destined to launch the largest Confederate attack of the war, about 57,000 men in six divisions. Porter's reinforced V Corps held fast for the afternoon as the Confederates attacked in a disjointed manner, first with the division of Maj. Gen. A.P. Hill, then Maj. Gen. Richard S. Ewell, suffering heavy casualties. The arrival of Maj. Gen. Stonewall Jackson's command was delayed, preventing the full concentration of Confederate force before Porter received some reinforcements from the VI Corps.

"Stonewall" Jackson's campaign through the Shenandoah Valley during the American Civil War. Port Republic was a fierce contest between two equally determined foes and was the most costly battle fought by Jackson's Army of the Valley during its campaign. Together, the battles of Cross Keys and Port Republic were the decisive victories in Jackson's Valley Campaign, forcing the Union armies to retreat and leaving Jackson free to reinforce Gen. Robert E. Lee for the Seven Days Battles outside Richmond, Virginia.
junho de 1862
Battle of White Oak Swamp
The Battle of White Oak Swamp took place on June 30, 1862, in Henrico County, Virginia, as part of the Seven Days Battles of the American Civil War. As the Union Army of the Potomac retreated southeast toward the James River, its rearguard under Maj. Gen. William B. Franklin stopped Maj. Gen. Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson's divisions at the White Oak Bridge crossing, resulting in an artillery duel, while the main Battle of Glendale raged two miles (3 km) farther south around Frayser's Farm. White Oak Swamp is generally considered to be part of the larger Glendale engagement. Because of this resistance from Brig. Gen. William B. Franklin's VI Corps, Jackson was prevented from joining the consolidated assault on the Union Army at Glendale that had been ordered by General Robert E. Lee, producing an inconclusive result, but one in which the Union Army avoided destruction and was able to assume a strong defensive position at Malvern Hill.
junho de 1862
Battle of Beaver Dam Creek

Batalha de South Mountain
Batalha de South Mountain, às vezes chamada na Região Sul de Batalha de Boonsboro Gap, ocorreu em 14 de setembro de 1862 e fez parte da Campanha de Maryland, na Guerra Civil Americana. O general McClellan, comandante do Exército do Potomac, soube que o Exército da Virgínia do Norte, do general Lee havia se dividido, com uma parte recuando para a Virgínia e outra permanecendo em Maryland. Ele enviou o Corpo do general William B. Franklin para para romper o bloqueio da guarnição federal em Harpers Ferry, e com os demais Corpos iniciou um avanço contra Boonsboro, Maryland, para impedir que as divisões de James Longstreet e Daniel Harvey Hill impedissem o avanço de Franklin. Era necessário que o Exército do Potomac capturasse os desfiladeiros de Turner e Fox nas Montanhas Blue Ridge. A defesa dos desfiladeiros ficou a cargo da divisão de Daniel Hill, mas o avanço federal o pegou de surpresa. Durante os combates de 14 de setembro, os sulistas conseguiram manter o controle de ambas as gargantas, mas o inimigo tomou as alturas dominantes em ambos os flancos e, no final da noite, soube-se que o corpo de exército de Franklin havia tomado a Garganta de Crampton. O general Lee decidiu abandonar Boonsboro e iniciar a retirada para a Virgínia passando por Sharpsburg.

Lee left a rearguard commanded by Brigadier General William N. Pendleton at Boteler's Ford. On September 19, elements of the Union V Corps dueled with Pendleton's artillery before pushing a short distance across the river at dusk. Pendleton inaccurately informed Lee that all of the artillery of the rearguard had been captured. On the morning of September 20, the Confederates counterattacked with A. P. Hill's Light Division, forcing the Union units back across the Potomac. One Union unit, the 118th Pennsylvania Infantry Regiment, did not withdraw at the same time as the others and suffered heavy losses. Lee's army continued its retreat into the Shenandoah Valley after the battle.

Lee, incluiu ataques frontais infrutíferos do Exército da União em 13 de dezembro contra as linhas entrincheiradas dos Confederados, lançando-se contra um ponto do campo de batalha que ficou conhecido como a “parede afundada”, nas alturas com vista para a cidade. Ela é lembrada como uma das batalhas mais desequilibradas da guerra, com baixas da União mais do que o dobro das sofridas pelos confederados. Um visitante do campo de batalha descreveu a batalha como um “massacre” para o Presidente dos Estados Unidos Abraham Lincoln.

Battle of Stones River
The Battle of Stones River, also known as the Second Battle of Murfreesboro, was fought from December 31, 1862, to January 2, 1863, in Middle Tennessee, as the culmination of the Stones River Campaign in the Western Theater of the American Civil War. Of the major battles of the war, Stones River had the highest percentage of casualties on both sides. The battle ended in Union victory after the Confederate army's withdrawal on January 3, largely due to a series of tactical miscalculations by Confederate Gen. Braxton Bragg, but the victory was costly for the Union army. Nevertheless, it was an important victory for the Union because it provided a much-needed boost in morale after the Union's recent defeat at Fredericksburg and also reinforced President Abraham Lincoln's foundation for issuing the Emancipation Proclamation, which ultimately discouraged European powers from intervening on the Confederacy's behalf.

Battle of Spring Hill
The Battle of Spring Hill was fought November 29, 1864, at Spring Hill, Tennessee, as part of the Franklin-Nashville Campaign of the American Civil War. The Confederate Army of Tennessee, commanded by Lt. Gen. John Bell Hood, attacked a Union force under Maj. Gen. John M. Schofield as it retreated from Columbia through Spring Hill. Because of a series of command failures and solid U.S. Army leadership, the Confederates were unable to inflict serious damage on the Federals and could not prevent their safe passage north to Franklin during the night. The next day, Hood pursued Schofield and attacked his fortifications in the Battle of Franklin, resulting in severe Confederate casualties.

Battle of Palmito Ranch
The Battle of Palmito Ranch, also known as the Battle of Palmito Hill, is considered by some criteria the final battle of the American Civil War. It was fought May 12 and 13, 1865, on the banks of the Rio Grande east of Brownsville, Texas, and a few miles from the seaport of Los Brazos de Santiago, at the southern tip of Texas. The battle took place more than a month after the surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia under Robert E. Lee to Union forces at Appomattox Court House, which had since been communicated to both commanders at Palmito. However, in early May Confederate General Edmund Kirby Smith had rejected a proposal from Union Major-General John Pope to surrender Confederate forces in the Trans-Mississippi Department on the same terms that General Ulysses S. Grant had given to Robert E. Lee. As such Kirby Smith only officially surrendered all Confederate forces in the Trans-Mississippi Department on June 2, 1865.
