    On March 8-9th. Confederate CSS Merrimac sank two Union warships, damaged a third. Then she fought to a draw with Union USS Monitor. But was a Confederate victory. a950695b6045d71d9056de2aa828c907.jpg

    I was cheering for the Merrimac:) My fav. General of that war was Nathan Bedford Forrest, never lost a battle.

    Also most world powers were on the Confederate side, I think only my guys Prussia was pro Union.
