What do you need by "wartime" events? Here are famous battles of the Civil War:

1. Antietam - This was the first major Union victory.
2. Gettsyburg - This is considered the "turning point" of the war. A Union victory.
3. Battle of Fort Sumter - This was the first unofficial battle of the Civil War. The Confederates captured the Union fort, Fort Sumter. A Confederate victory.

Other important events:

• Surrender at Appomattox: Robert E. Lee, the Confederate general, surrendered to the Union at the Appomattox Courthouse in April 1865.
• Lincoln's Assassination: President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth in April 1865, just one week after the surrender at Appomattox.
• The Emancipation Proclamation: On January 1st, 1863, Abraham Lincoln declared all slaves in the Confederacy free. By December 1865, the Thirteenth Amendment ensured slavery was illegal everywhere in the U.S.

Hopefully this will get you started. Good luck!
