The Civil War in 1862: The Battles that Saved Both the North and South

By Cre

In the wake of First Bull Run, both sides were served notice that the war would be longer than either had anticipated, but the Union and Confederacy still hoped to win the war in 1862. That year, the North and South both launched offensives in the East and West in hopes of scoring a knockout blow, but ultimately the battles of that year would best be remembered for saving each side and ensuring 1863 would see more war.
