Turning Points of the American Civil War
New Perspectives
Historians are continually reassessing the American
Civil War. Inevitably, they return to five major battles:
First Bull Run (July 1861), Shiloh (April 1862),
Antietam (September 1862), Gettysburg (July 1863)
and Vicksburg (July 1863) to determine if their
historical significance as the war’s turning points over
the past 150 years still holds. Civil War historian
Stephen Engle revisits these pivotal battles and
considers the role each played in the North’s ability to
win the war. He will determine how they helped
political leaders in Washington understand why
Abraham Lincoln’s limited war of conciliation was
ineffective, why he expanded his war aims and why
the conflicts’ outcomes resonated beyond the
battlefield.
