In July 1861, President Abraham Lincoln insisted that there would be no separation of the Union.

Therefore, from the viewpoint of the Confederacy, the Civil War in America HAD to continue.

Lincoln and Davis, both, had set out their beliefs and their determination - thus, a long drawn out civil war was inevitable.

Hi Vern,

On July 21st 1861, the first land battle of the Civil War in the US took place. It happened close to Washington and the White House. Americans who live in the southern states often call this the Battle of Manassas (as this town was close to where the battle happened). In the north of America, it is called Bull Run.

Hope this helps :)

I'm sure others have already replied, however July 1861 was a very important month in American History. That us when the Union and Confederate soldiers fought just on the outskirts of Virginia. It is considered the first documented fight of the Civil War.
