Pickett's Charge - 1863 More American soldiers died in this battle than in any other; more than in some entire wars.

The stillness of a cool & damp pre-dawn April morning is broken by the sound of approaching fifes & drums. The cream of the British Army faces off with colonial militia in what turned out to be little more than a skirmish. It resulted in "the shot heard 'round the world," and indeed, the world would never again be the same. A Nation is born. 6 40 April 20 2007 12:29:53 PM by: Wilderness Woman     British Colonial Warfare and Campaigns British expansionism has, for centuries, been at the heart of the landscape of the world. Nary a continent was untouched. In particular, the 19th Century was a period of warfare, intrigue, and political maneuver. All of this is the subject of this forum - with the exceptions of the North American French & Indian War and the opening shots of the American Revolution - both of which have designated forums of their own. 7 49 February 14 2005 05:20:30 AM by: Grenadier     Any Other Military Encounters - 1492 - 2002 and beyond! ... from the annals of American History!
