An Elusive Mystery

The Hunley quickly descended to the seabed after the explosion but the sailors did not experience any fatal damage from this. One of the ship’s pipes was broken, huge gushes of water entered the ship and it was destroyed in three minutes, and though much has been learned about America’s pioneer combat vessel, much remains to be discovered. It seems that the Hunley will continue to be one of the mysteries of the Civil War.

Torn Apart By War

The Civil War is one of the most important events in American history and it was caused by differences of opinion. The North and the South disagreed over crucial issues such as slavery and Abraham Lincoln’s rise to the presidency and it killed more American soldiers than the two World Wars combined. It revolutionized war as America knew it.
