Rise of the South (Map Game)

Welcome to Rise of the South, a map game about the rise of the Confederate States of America during the American Civil War.

On the date of April 2, 1865, Lieutenant General Nelson Appleton Miles of the Union launched an attempt to capture the Sutherland Station of Dinwiddle County, Virginia to cut off the supplies lines of General Robert E. Lee of the Confederate States of America. In the end Lieutenant General Miles assault to capture the station has failed, suffering more than 4,000 casualties and failing his objective to take the station.

Following the unsuccessful attack to cut off General Lee's supply lines, General Ulysses S. Grant has still initiated the third assault to capture the town of Petersburg, Virginia in the Third Battle of Petersburg. When the battle started, Union troops failed to capture to Fort Mahone, suffering extreme casualties including the destruction of the IX Corps, and the death of commander Major General John Grubb Parke. As the IX Corps fail to take Fort Mahone, General Ulysses S.Grant tries one last attempt to take the strategic position, which ends in catastrophe, following the death of more than 9,000 Union soldiers and also the death of Ulysses S. Grant.

After the Third Battle of Petersburg, Union troops were forced to fall back across the Potomac River, allowing Confederate troops commanded by General Robert E. Lee to retake land that was occupied by Union forces. Following the death of Ulysses S. Grant, Union troops have been heavily demoralized and war wearied.

As of 1875 the war still ravages with the Confederate States of America taking land large portions of land from the United States.
