History lesson #1

Okay so I felt I should elaborate on how history is interesting...please don't stop reading! I love American history. The American Revolution and The Civil War are my favorite eras. However don't expect me to tell you all the dates and battles (let alone who were the general. I am a bad historian I know, but I like the times not necessarily the wars). I was thinking about my favorite story. A man is living quietly when suddenly the first shots of the civil war break out on his front lawn. Wanting to get away from it all he moves away, only to have General Robert E. Lee surrender to Ulysses S. Grant in his parlor four years later. See history isn't so bad! Have a good day!
