Lincoln and Antietam
Abraham Lincoln wanted to wait for a Union victory before releasing the Emancipation proclamation.

He released the Emancipation Proclamation hoping that declaring the slaves in the rebelling states free would shorten the war.

Read the excerpt from a Civil Letter from Major Sullivan Ballou
"But, O Sarah, if the dead can come back to this earth, and flit unseen around those they loved, I shall always be near you in the garish day, and the darkest night amidst your happiest scenes and gloomiest hours always, always, and, if the soft breeze fans your cheek, it shall be my breath; or the cool air cools your throbbing temples, it shall be my spirit passing by.
Sarah, do not mourn me dear; think I am gone, and wait for me, for we shall meet again".
Life in Camp- fight against boredom
Only a tiny fraction of any soldier’s time was spent in front line combat. Instead, the vast majority of his existence revolved around the monotonous routines of camp life, which presented its own set of struggles and hardships.
Poker, a card game involving strategy, bluffing, and luck, was a favorite among Civil War soldiers. The game’s popularity was due to its simplicity and the potential for large payouts. Soldiers would often bet their pay or other valuable items in high-stakes games, adding excitement and a sense of camaraderie among the players.

Death on the Battlefield
The most immediate of death’s challenges was a logistical one, the burial of soldiers in the aftermath of battle. Armies were not ready for the enormity of the task that confronted them, particularly in the aftermath of engagements that left thousands of bodies carpeting battlegrounds like Antietam or Gettysburg. After a single day of fighting at Antietam, for example, 23,000 men and untold numbers of horses and mules lay killed or wounded. The United States did not have an amubulance corp, no national cemetaries and no way to identify the dead or notify families.

Women's role during the Civil War
Wives, mothers, children, and so many more watched their men go off to fight, hoping their lives would be spared and they would return home. Proper etiquette deemed that women remain home, but there were those who took this opportunity to serve their country in more ways than one. There were nurses, civilian volunteers, and writers who stood in solidarity with their male counterparts to serve the country they believed in. These women of the Civil War courageously fought not only the enemy soldiers but the traditional expectations of a 19th century gentlewoman.
