On this trip to Virginia, we have deepen into American history, the causes and consequences of these wars that have written American history and determined the American spirit.
On the one hand, we have visited battlefields of the war of independence in Williamsburg and Yorktown. They fought for the freedom of the American from the English. This was a hard war as people from the same family and close friends had to fight against each other as they took opposite sides in the war.
On the other hand, we went to the Shenandoah national park and Richmond where we were able to see battlefields from the civil war. It really surprised me how they made the freedom of the salves and black people the main goal of the war but it was actually only a militar strategy.The Union troops were losing battles and needed more soldiers. At the same time, slaves from the south left to fight for the north, leaving the Confederacy without labourers.
