In a letter to the reader, Michael Shaara states that his purpose is similar to Stephen Crane's in The Red Badge of Courage. He wishes to display history not as cold facts, but rather in such a way that the reader can live the history. This is to be accomplished through extensive detail of the emotions of the men, the atmosphere of the battle, and strategies of the commanding officers. Accepting this as Shaara's intent, it can be justifiably stated that he succeeds in his objective. The Killer Angels

negative situations into positive ones. For example, an article titled “The Battle of Gettysburg” declared that “General Reynolds, it seems more and more clear, fought rashly on Wednesday, and very probably against the wishes of the commander of the army; yet this battle, which lost us many men, gave us full information of the whereabouts of the enemy’s main body, and committed the enemy to the position the north of Gettysburg.” The author of this article took the negative event of many men losing

the book still express dramatic feelings, actions, and words of the characters in this “fast-paced compelling read.” Especially in the gory parts of the story were these emotions and descriptions truly vivid in my mind. For example, after the Union army stormed into the Magruder’s house, Haswell’s mother was taken upstairs by Captain Powell.

I do think his was, and is, unprepared for the rigors of being the President of the United States of America. I also believe he is a coward because speak out against inequity but fuels the fire with “Building Walls” and now the repeal of DACA.

American Civil War. W.P. Inman is a confederate soldier, who like many confederate soldiers is reconsidering the “cause” and whether or not his sacrifice was warranted. We learn that when he ventures away from Cold Mountain, his home in North Carolina, for the first time he see the persecution of blacks in way he had not before. This compounded with the longing for his love, Ada Monroe, and the death that surrounded him compels him to risk death and desert the army and to return home to his love. I've

Hood started out by having Brown and Cleburne to attack Wagner’s line of 3000 men. Wagner’s men were guarded by fieldworks put up before the Confederates had arrived, but since they were made in haste, they quickly collapsed. Wagner’s line let out a single volley of rifle fire before turning around and retreating to the main line. The Confederates were on the heels of the fleeing Federals, so the defending Federals couldn’t fire in fear of hitting their own. This inability to shoot caused a weak

What happened?” Samuel was slowly approaching the Captain now, revolver still drawn. “I- I’m fine” the Captain’s voice was hoarse and broke when he started talking, “he’s dead, I shot him.” “Well he is just a Confederate, right?” Samuel walked closer, slowly as he could tell the Captain was obviously unstable. “That’s why I shot I thought he was, he’s dressed like one.” O’neill looked over to Samuel, “I mean, It’s pretty clever.” The horse ran past Samuel, once

Joseph Hooker (MAC BUTLER), and Capt. Alexander ‘Sandie’ Pendleton (JEREMY LONDON).

Battle of Gettysburg was one of the most important battles, if not the most important battle from the Civil War. The Civil War was fought from 1861 to 1865 between the Union and the Confederate States of America. The Union was mainly made up of Northern states while the Confederate States of America was mainly Southern states who had seceded from the nation.
