in the capital and at Petersburg. The USCTs
fought valiantly in several battles, especially
the Battle of the Crater in Petersburg and
the Battle of New Market Heights east of
Richmond. Fourteen black soldiers received
Medals of Honor for their bravery in the
latter engagement.
In mid-1864, Gen. Philip H. Sheridan led
a railroad raid to Trevilian Station, and Gens.
James H. Wilson and August V. Kautz tore up
tracks in Southside Virginia but failed to burn
the Staunton River Bridge. In the Shenandoah
Valley, a succession of Union commanders
pressed Confederate forces and laid waste to
the “Breadbasket of the Confederacy.” Federal
Third Battle of Winchester, September 19, 1864
Gen. David Hunter burned Virginia Military
Nineteenth-century print by Kurz & Allison
Institute in Lexington and then marched on
Lynchburg, where Gen. Jubal A. Early turned
him back. Early then marched north through the Valley and attacked the defenses of Washington,
D.C. Eventually Gen. Philip H. Sheridan swept the Shenandoah clear of Confederates. In southwestern Virginia, eastern Tennessee, and western North Carolina, Union cavalry raided saltworks
and railroads. Gen. William T. Sherman, in the Deep South, first captured Atlanta and then
marched to the sea, occupying Savannah. Next, the Carolinas, South and North, felt the weight
of Sherman’s boot early in 1865. Fort Fisher, the “Gibraltar of the South” that protected the
blockade-running capital of Wilmington, North Carolina, fell in mid-January, cutting the supply
lifeline to Lee in Virginia.
At Appomattox, Va., on April 9, 1865, Robert E. Lee,
Grant, meanwhile, forced Lee’s lines westcommanding general of the Army of Northern Virginia,
ward around Petersburg until they finally broke at
surrendered his men to Ulysses S. Grant and the
Five Forks on April 1, 1865, a week and a half after
Armies of the Potomac and the James.
Sherman had almost crushed Johnston at Bentonville, North Carolina. Lee evacuated Petersburg
and Richmond and marched his dwindling army
west, hoping to turn south and join Johnston. Grant
blocked his way, however, and cornered him at
Appomattox Court House, where Lee surrendered
on April 9. The Confederate government fled south
through North Carolina. In Washington, Lincoln
planned for the swift reunion of North and South,
but John Wilkes Booth altered the path of reconciliation on April 14 at Ford’s Theater. The assassin
escaped the capital and fled through Southern
Maryland to Virginia, where he was shot and killed
on April 26. On that same day, at Bennett Place near
Raleigh, North Carolina, Johnston surrendered
to Sherman, essentially ending the Civil War.

WAR IN THE MID-ATLANTIC
rom the beginning of the Civil War until its end, the proximity of the national capitals
of Washington, D.C., and Richmond, Virginia, made the Eastern Seaboard a center
of military activity. Union blood was first shed in the Baltimore Riots of April 19, 1861,
and some of the last Confederate casualties fell just before Gen. Joseph E. Johnston
surrendered in North Carolina on April 26,1865. During those four years, the earth of Virginia,
Maryland, and North Carolina became the bloodiest in America, as the war swept through
again and again.
Caught between Virginia, which seceded
in April 1861, and Maryland, which was leaning
toward secession, President Abraham Lincoln
simply had to keep Maryland in the Union.
After secessionists fueled the Baltimore Riots
by attacking Massachusetts troops en route to
Washington, D.C., Lincoln declared martial law,
suspended habeas corpus in certain areas, and
imprisoned Maryland Confederates. The state
remained strongly Unionist in the west while
southeastern Maryland became a secessionist
hotbed of spies and smugglers along the Chesapeake Bay. The state did not secede.

April 19th, 1861” Drawn by William Bomberger
In Virginia, Confederate President Jefferand engraved by George E. Perine.
son Davis directed a defensive war at first.
When U.S. forces marched into northern Virginia to attack Manassas Junction in July 1861, the result was a stunning Confederate victory.
The Federals fared better along the northeastern coast of North Carolina, which Gen. Ambrose E. Burnside secured despite resistance from Confederate gunboats and land forces.
Gen. George B. McClellan led a massive U.S. army up the Peninsula against Richmond in
the spring of 1862, but Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee repulsed it near the city limits in the
Seven Days’ Battles in June. In the Shenandoah Valley, meanwhile, Gen. Thomas J. “Stonewall”
Jackson defeated several Union armies before joining Lee at Richmond. Together, the generals
marched north and bested another Union force under Gen. John Pope at the Second Battle
of Manassas in August. Lee then invaded Western Maryland, hoping to rally Confederate support, resupply his army, and gain foreign recognition for the Confederacy. His hopes were
dashed at Antietam Creek on September 17, 1862, the bloodiest day in American history, and
he retreated to Virginia.
In 1863, following Lee’s victory at Chancellorsville in May, he again marched north through
the Shenandoah Valley, the avenue of invasion. This time he reached Pennsylvania and confronted Union Gen. George G. Meade’s army at Gettysburg. Once again the Confederate tide
was turned back. In Maryland and Virginia, freed and escaped slaves flocked to the Union
colors and joined regiments of United States Colored Troops (USCTs). Underground Railroad
“conductor” Harriet Tubman led many north to freedom from Maryland’s Eastern Shore.
In the spring of 1864, Union commander-in-chief Gen. Ulysses S. Grant launched simultaneous attacks against the Confederates throughout the South. He accompanied Meade’s army
in Virginia during the bloody Overland Campaign battles of the Wilderness, Spotsylvania Court
House, and Cold Harbor, maneuvering Lee ever closer to Richmond and finally besieging him
