| | | | Battle of Perryville: Encyclopedia II - Kentucky - History Kentucky was occasionally used as hunting grounds by roving bands of Shawnee Indians, but there were no permanent Indian settlements by 1750. Kentucky was owned by the colony and state of Virginia. For a while a few settlers tried to set up a colony of Transylvania with its capital at Boonesborough. After 1770, settlers from Virginia and North Carolina came through the Cumberland Gap. Kentucky grew rapidly and was the first major frontier developed west of the Appalachian Mountains. Guns enabled this movement westward, and even the term shot ...

| | | | Battle of Perryville: Encyclopedia II - Philip Sheridan - Civil War Sheridan started the Civil War as Chief Quartermaster of the Army of Southwest Missouri. Feeling that he would be a better field commander than a support officer, he persisted until he was appointed as Colonel of the 2nd Michigan Volunteer Cavalry. A month later he commanded his first forces in combat. At the Battle of Boonville, July 1, 1862, he held back several regiments of General James R. Chalmers's Confederate cavalry. His actions so impressed his commanders that they promoted him to brigadier general and assigned him command of the 11 ...

| | | | Battle of Perryville: Encyclopedia II - American Civil War - Narrative summary Lincoln's victory in the presidential election of 1860 triggered South Carolina's secession from the Union. Lincoln was not even on the ballot in nine states in the South. Leaders in South Carolina had long been waiting for an event that might unite the South against the anti-slavery forces. Once the election returns were certain, a special South Carolina convention declared "that the Union now subsisting between South Carolina and other states under the name of the 'United States of America' is hereby dissolved."

| | | | Battle of Perryville: Encyclopedia II - Battle of Stones River - December 31 At dawn on December 31, about 6 a.m., Confederate General William J. Hardee struck first, attacking the Union's right flank with the division of Maj. Gen. John P. McCown, before many in Union Brig. Gen. Richard W. Johnson's division had finished their breakfast. (This was the third major battle, after Fort Donelson and Shiloh, in which an early morning attack caught a Union army by surprise.) The 10,000 Confederates who massed on their left attacked like a "tidal wave". Due to McCook's deceptive campfires and the relative inexperience of Gen ...

| | | | Battle of Perryville: Encyclopedia II - American Civil War - Civil War leaders and soldiers One of the reasons that the US Civil War wore on as long as it did and the battles were so fierce was that most important generals on both sides had formerly served in the United States Army — some, including Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee, during the Mexican-American War between 1846 and 1848. Most were graduates of the United States Military Academy at West Point. Southern miltary commanders and strategists included Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, Joseph E. Johnston, Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson, James Longstreet, P.G.T. Beaure ...

| | | | Battle of Perryville: Encyclopedia II - American Civil War - The Question of Slavery As slavery and constitutional questions concerning states' rights were widely viewed as the major causes of the war, the victorious Union government sought to end slavery and to guarantee a perpetual union that could never be broken.
During the early part of the war, Lincoln, to hold together his war coalition of Republicans and War Democrats, emphasized preservation of the Union as the sole Union objective of the war. With the Emancipation Proclamation, announced in September 1862 and put into effect four months later, ...
