Question about Civil War...?

Question

I'm writing a paper on Civil War, and I was wondering if you could name the most important battles... I got a lot sources, and each of them give me different information... Here's what I got:

- Fort Sumter
- First Bull Run
- Anaconda Plan and Union Blockade
- Pea Ridge
- Fort Henry
- Fort Donelson
- First battle between the ironclads (Monitor vs. Virginia)
- Peninsular Campaign
- Capture of New Orleans
- Seven Days
- Second Bull Run
- Antietam
- Fredericksburg
- Stones River
- Shiloh
- Perryville
- Chancelorsville
- Siege of Vicksburg
- Gettysburg
- Chickamauga
- Chattanooga
- Wilderness
- Spotslyvania
- Cold Harbor
- Siege of Petersburg
- Mobile Bay
- Atlanta Campaign
- Franklin
- Nashville
- Appomattox

Have I omitted something important? Do I have something that is not so important?
Thanks

Answer 1

I am afraid that unless it is thesis it is going too be way too cumbersome but with the exception of but two I would be hard pressed to suggest removing. These two are "Stone River and Pea Ridge" I could suggest others to add but your hand are going to be full. I do hope when you get to Appomattox you set the record straight, it was NOT the end of the war but just the Army of Northern Virginia surrendering, nothing more. If I can be of any help please let me know. God Bless You and Our Southern People.

Answer 2

The first thing I would do is reduce your subject matter into a clearer focus. Yes, all those battles were important, but, that is WAY too broad a subject line to cover in one paper; unless you're writing a book. I would suggest you chose a few of the MAJOR battles and build from there.
The Fort Sumter was the start of the war, Gettysburg was a major turning point for the tide of the war, Atlanta aith Shermans march south.
Use a few major battles and use them as your subject line. Otherwise you'll be writing a paper that wanders all over the place and never really paints a clear picture to your reader.

We have been attempting to alter into an autonomous u . s . a . as damaging to taking on Britain itself. The Civil war in spite of the shown fact that composed of two separate international locations grew to become into extremely between 2 factions of a similar u . s . a .. The union purpose grew to become into to maintain the southern states that had left the union. usa on no account extremely recongnized the south as yet another u . s . a ., nor (i've got faith) did the different u . s . a .. interior the american Revolution France regarded us. Had the Confederacy gained the war it would desire to have then exchange right into a revolution in the event that they desperate to stay a separate u . s . a . and not overtake Lincoln's government. Had they taken over the different government then it would have nonetheless been a civil war. The defination of civil war is that the two waring aspects come from a similar soverign u . s . a ..
