The battle of Shiloh took place on April 6, 1862 and April 7, 1862. Confederate soldiers camp through the woods next to where the Union soldiers were camped at Pittsburg Landing on the Tennessee River. With 23,000 casualties this was the bloodiest battle of the Civil War up to this point.
Abraham Lincoln issues Emancipation Proclamation, declaring slaves in Confederate states to be free.
The Battle of Gettysburg involved the largest number of casualties of the entire Civil war and is often described as the war's turning point. Between 46,000 and 51,000 soldiers lost their lives during the three-day Battle. To honor the fallen soldiers, President Abraham Lincoln read his historic Gettysburg Address and helped those listening by redefining the purpose of the war.
English: from the Middle English personal name Pascal, derived from Old French Pasquale and ultimately from Latin Paschalis ‘pertaining to Easter’ (from pascha ‘Easter’, via Greek and Aramaic from Hebrew pesah ‘Passover’). This was popular as a personal name throughout Christian Europe in the Middle Ages, mainly in honor of the festival of Christ's crucifixion and resurrection, often signifying someone born at Easter, but also in honor of a 9th-century pope and saint who bore the name.
French: variant of Pascal (a cognate of 1) and, in North America, (also) an altered form of this.
American shortened form of Greek Paschalis, which is of the same ultimate origin as 1 above, or of its patronymics and other derivatives, e.g. Paschalakis, Paschalides, Paschalidis, and Paschaloudis. Compare Pascal .
