HIST 1461 — Military Hist/Amer Civil War 3 Credit Hours
This course presents the military history of the American Civil War. While such topics as the cause of the war and the relative strengths and weak- nesses of the North and South will be addressed, the focus of the course will be the major campaigns and battles of the Civil War. Campaign/ battle studies will not consist merely of an examination of the events of the campaign/battle. They will include that of the course, but also a great deal more. In addition they will include discussions of the events that precipitated each campaign/battle; examinations of the strategy, tactics, and leadership of the belligerents; and evaluations of the result of the battle on the belligerents.
