A chart rather than a battlefield scene, this print lays out the course of the American Civil War from 1860 to 1865 in a single visual timeline. Charts of this kind were popular in the decades after the war, when readers wanted a compact way to follow the sequence of campaigns, political turning points and the conflict's end. Its value today lies in how it condenses years of events into one view, showing how the secession crisis, the major battles and the surrender at Appomattox fit together. Look closely at how the chart groups events by year and by theater, since those choices reveal how contemporaries understood the war.
