Ironclads part 1

I'm going to talk about Ironclads. The Monitor and the Virginia. So the Confederates didn't have a shipyard. But they went and got the Unions shipyard. The Union didn't want to leave the Merrimack for the Confederates so they burned it. But they were in a hurry to get away so the Merrimack didn't get all burned. The Confederates saw that they could build on top of it and they saw that it was steam powered.(The first Ironclad made was made by France steam powered and by sail its name was La Gliore) In the early 1800s They built iron on the sides of the ship so the cannon balls didn't hit it as bad. But before that the just had wood and the ship with most cannons usually won the battle. The Confederates almost built there ironclad when the Union had to build theirs faster to beat the Virginia.

Robert E. Lee and the Civil War

I'am going to tell you about Both Robert E. Lee and the Civil war together. So on the last day i'am going to make a peace treaty with Ulysses S. Grant.(I means Robert E. Lee same with i am and i'am but the first I'am is just me) Now i am going to tell you how the war started.Well I let the Union attack first. Not lots of people agreed with my thinking. We are trying to keep the Union soldiers out of Richmond. Keep working on those ditches. The people who were making the ditches did not like how i was treating them but then they saw how it helped.We needed better supplies and more food. So one time we fought in the cornfield. The last battle we fought was on the roads and the Union made one big line. The Confederate army couldn't get through the line and they outgunned us. Back to the ending of the battle and he made a peace treaty with Ulysses S. Grant and they gave them some trains they stole for supplies.

Spring

At last it's spring. But it is still cold outside with the wind.I love it that my birthday is so close to spring. My birthday is on March 14 only 6 days away from spring! It will get warmer soon though. I cant wait till all of the snow melts and I get to play soccer on the green grass. We went bowling and went to an arcade for my birthday. I got this ball, I love throwing it and catching it. When the snow melts then we can play on the green grass! Every time its my birthday then its pie day. 314 third month and the fourteenth of march. In spring i start playing soccer again but outside.(on my birthday it was Albert Einsteins birthday as well) I don't like spring because it is all muddy from all the snow that melts.But i love when you wake up and the birds are chirping. On April 5th i start playing soccer outside.

Khan Academy

Khan Academy is this fun way to learn. You get badges and you get to practice skills and then get level one then level two then you master it. If you master five then you get a meteorite badge those are the easiest  to get. Then moon badges and then sun badges and the almost impossible ones to get are black hole badges. I have 53 meteorite badges and 25 moon badges 5 earth badges and i am about to get three sun badges, I only need to master two more mastered!!!! I know one person got a black hole badge from getting 10,000000 points. Sun badges give you like 30,000. I am about to get 80,000 points from Copernicus. I have 198 mastered it takes 200 to master to get Copernicus.

Civil War

The Civil war was fought against the Confederacy and the Union. The Confederacy had an advantage at first because they had better generals like Robert E. Lee.

The Confederacy did not want to fight they just wanted to secede. This happened through 1860-1861 Jefferson Davis was their president .

Abraham Lincoln was the leader of the Union that had 24 states. He didn't want the south to leave he thought it would be easy and fast. Instead it was very long 600,000 people died in the battle.
Abraham issued the emancipation proclamation it stopped slavery.
