The Civil War was a contest of ferocity and frequency of battles. Over four years, 237 named battles were waged and many, many more skirmishes.
The Civil War prompted the industrial revolution. One of the most notable things to come about was the innovations to the Navy. The ironclad warship evolved and the modern Navy was well on it's way.

Continued from uncirculated remarks is the quote of Joshua Chamberlain, who actually fought at the Battle of Gettysburg. "In great deeds something abides. On great fields something stays. Forms change and pass, bodies disappear, but spirits linger to consecrate ground for the visionplace of souls."- Joshua Chamberlain"
