The Prelude: A Nation Divided
The year was 1861, and the United States was on the brink of civil war. The country was deeply divided over the issue of slavery, with the Southern states advocating for its preservation and the Northern states seeking its abolition.

Along the way, they faced hostility from Confederate forces and civilians. They were ambushed, attacked, and imprisoned. Yet, they refused to be deterred. Driven by an unwavering sense of duty and determination, they pressed on.
The Battle: A Fierce Struggle
After months of relentless marching, the Union soldiers reached New Orleans. They joined forces with other Union troops and launched a fierce assault on the city.
The battle was bloody and prolonged, with both sides suffering heavy losses. Ultimately, the Union forces prevailed, securing a major victory for the North.
