The set up episode of our Civil War series will discuss why the South seceded and the real reason behind the American Civil War (   • The Real Reason Behind the American Civil War  ), while the first episode will describe how and why the American Civil War happened (   • How the American Civil War Happened - Road...  ).

These events allowed Lee to go on an offensive, leading to the second battle of Manassas (Bull Run), Cedar Mountain and Antietam (   • Lee Attacks - Manassas and Antietam - Amer...  ). The war continued with the battles of Chancellorsville and Fredericksburg in 1862 (   • Fredericksburg 1862 - American Civil War D...  ), and the hostilities peaked at Gettysburg in 1863 (   • Battle of Gettysburg 1863 - American Civil...  ). In episode 7, we described the naval theater of the war, including the birth of the ironclads and the Battle of Hampton Roads.
