context: Title: Charles Hawkins (Medal of Honor)
  Passage: Charles Hawkins (1834 or 1835 -  February 29, 1908) was a Seaman in the Union Navy during the American Civil War, where he was awarded the Civil War Congressional Medal of Honor.  Hawkins was born in either 1834 or 1835, depending on the source, in Scotland.  He lived in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and enlisted in the Union Navy from New Hampshire.  He served on board the USS "Agawam", as one of a volunteer crew of a powderboat.  He was given his Medal of Honor on December 23, 1864, when his boat exploded on that date near Fort Fisher.  His boat was towed in by the wilderness to prevent detection by the enemy, and less than two hours after boarding the boat, the explosion took place, and the following day fires were observed still burning at the forts.  Hawkins was awarded his Medal of Honor on December 31, 1864.  He died on February 29, 1908, in Rhode Island.  He was buried in Saint Mary Cemetery in West Warwick, Rhode Island.
  Title: Fort Donelson National Battlefield
  Passage: Fort Donelson National Battlefield preserves Fort Donelson and Fort Heiman, two sites of the American Civil War Forts Henry and Donelson Campaign, in which Union Army Brigadier General Ulysses S. Grant and Flag Officer Andrew Hull Foote captured three Confederate forts and opened two rivers, the Tennessee River and the Cumberland River, to control by the Union Navy.  The commanders received national recognition for their victories in February 1862, as they were the first major Union successes of the war.  The capture of Fort Donelson and its garrison by the Union led to the capture of Tennessee's capital and industrial center, Nashville, which remained in Union hands from February 25, 1862 until the end of the war, and gave the Union effective control over much of Tennessee.  This struck a major blow to the Confederacy early in the war.

Every nation was officially neutral throughout the war, and none formally recognized the Confederacy.
  Title: American Civil War Museum

  Title: Native Americans in the American Civil War
  Passage: Native Americans in the American Civil War saw Native American individuals, bands, tribes, and nations participate in numerous skirmishes and battles.  Native Americans served in both the Union and Confederate military during the American Civil War.  They were found in the Eastern, Western, and Trans-Mississippi Theaters.  At the outbreak of the war, for example, the majority of the Cherokees sided with the Union, but soon after allied with the Confederacy.  Native Americans fought knowing they might jeopardize their sovereignty, unique cultures, and ancestral lands if they ended up on the losing side of the Civil War.  28,693 Native Americans served in the Union and Confederate armies during the Civil War, participating in battles such as Pea Ridge, Second Manassas, Antietam, Spotsylvania, Cold Harbor, and in Federal assaults on Petersburg.
  Title: Fort Anderson (North Carolina)
  Passage: Fort Anderson is a mid 19th century earthen fort in the lower Cape Fear Region of North Carolina, located over the ruins of the colonial town of Brunswick in Brunswick County.  It was used as a Confederate Fort during the American Civil War.  The fort was pivotal in protecting the Cape Fear River inlets and Wilmington upstream.  Earthen batteries comprise the fort and were used as platforms and shields for the Confederate cannons.  Beneath some of the earthworks were "bombproofs," shelters used by troops during enemy bombardment.  The Confederacy decided to build forts around the Cape Fear River to protect the port of Wilmington from the Union blockade.  During the Civil War, blockade runners brought supplies such as iron, guns, and ammunition to the Confederacy.  The purpose of the fort was to hinder movement of Union ships, and to serve as a dropping off point for blockade runners fortunate enough to make it up the mouth of the Cape Fear River.  Fort Anderson was built on the ruins of Brunswick Town and was originally named Fort St. Philip, after the ruins of the Revolutionary period church nearby.  The name was changed to honor Col. George B. Anderson.
