Union suffers yet another defeat to a well entrenched rebel army. At this point both sides are realizing the horrors of war.

General Johnston of the Confederate army surprises George McClellan's troops. The union suffers a loss but Johnston is badly wounded in battle.

It is in this moment that Lincoln changes the war. All slaves are now considered free to the union and are encouraged to fight against the South
