McHenry Co. Civil War RT, April Discussion Group 'April-May 1865'-- Part 1: A Hybrid Meeting

The discussion group of the McHenry County Civil War Round Table met April 24, 2021, at Stucky's Bar & Grill in Johnsburg, Illinois with out topic being "Events of April-May 1865."

This was a hybrid meeting in that we had five members present and three via Zoom.

As usual, we started out with the Questions.

Here are the questions.  See how good you are at the Civil War.

1.  What battle on April 1, 1865, virtually assured that Lee would have to give up his Petersburg defenses?

2.  On April 2, two major events took place in Alabama.  What were they?

3.  On what date did Joseph Johnston surrender his army?

4.  Name the steamship that caught fire on the Mississippi River on April 27, 1865.

There Are More Questions.
