Camps

Sorry this is so late i just realized today that we had this assignment when I glanced at the grading sheet and noticed that I had completely overlooked something! I found the article interesting especially the part how Stafford was at one time the "biggest' city in America due to the high concentrations of Union troops. This makes complete sense when you think about how many large battles and skirmishes that took place near our town and how it was the midpoint between the two opposing sides' capital's. And no one wants to fight or march in the freezing winter thus they needed somewhere to sit out the cold.
