President Abraham Lincoln delivered the @GettysburgNMP Address #OTD in 1863. The exact wording of the address is not agreed upon, as the surviving copies written by Lincoln slightly vary. He signed only one of these, which is generally accepted as the text. #CivilWar 1/

#OTD in 1864, General William T. Sherman gave the order to burn most of the @CityofAtlanta before setting off on his March to the Sea. When the destruction began three days later, more than 3,000 building were destroyed. #CivilWar

John Brown, the Kansas abolitionist who seized the @HarpersFerryNPS Arsenal a month earlier, was convicted #OTD in 1859 of murder, treason, and conspiring with slaves to rebel. He was hanged a month later, ending what is known as the Tragic Prelude to the #CivilWar.
Pro-slavery #Democrat #PrestonBrooks from #SouthCarolina used his cane to beat anti-slavery #Republican #CharlesSumner from #Boston Mass in #USSenate on May 22, 1858. Senate records (https://t.co/4HG1JHOneu) say it was "breakdown of reasoned discourse"—#USCivilWar 3 years later.
During the #CivilWar, Forrest fought against the United States, commanding confederate cavalry in the western theater. He was responsible for the infamous Fort Pillow massacre, in which his men murdered hundreds of unarmed, surrendering black soldiers of the @USArmy.
Within the next two months, Brown was tried, found guilty of treason and murder, and hanged. His raid and planned rebellion was viewed by Southerners as a prelude to more aggressive actions to end slavery, contributing to the push for secession and, ultimately, the #CivilWar.
#OnThisDay 11 October 1643 was the Battle of Winceby in Lincolnshire, where Parliamentary forces under Sir Thomas Fairfax and Oliver Cromwell defeated Sir John Henderson. As well as helping secure Lincolnshire, it started a partnership which would win the First #EnglishCivilWar.
#OnThisDay 9 October 1643 Parliamentary forces under the Earl of Manchester, Sir Thomas Fairfax and Oliver Cromwell were besieging Bolingbroke Castle in Lincolnshire. #EnglishCivilWar #17thCentury #OTD

The confederate Army of Tennessee under Braxton Bragg occupied the hills around @Chattanooga_gov, TN #OTD in 1863. They had chased General William Rosecrans’ Union Army of the Cumberland northward after defeating them at the Battle of @ChickamaugaNPS. #CivilWar

Sheridan moved quickly, striking Early with two Corps totaling about 40,000 men. Early was outnumbered nearly 4-to-1, and though the fighting was fierce, he ultimately had to withdraw. Winchester, which changed hands 75 times during the #CivilWar, never left U.S. control again.
#OnThisDay 18 September 1644 was the Battle of Montgomery, the largest battle fought in Wales during the #BritishCivilWars. Royalist forces under Lord Byron were defeated by Sir John Meldrum, leaving the Parliamentarians in control of central Wales. #17thCentury #OTD
