41. A Short History Of Preston Describes important local dates, events and people, including 'Hard Times' plagues, final battle of the civil war, Richard Arkwright, John Horrocks, Preston Guild, first motorway, and football. http://www.webspawner.com/users/thehughlockspage/

A Short History of Preston Here on this page I want to give you some history about the city where I was born, Preston, Lancashire, England. Preston became a 'city' on March 14 2002 when HRH Queen Elizabeth II granted Preston cityhood for her Jubilee celebration, 1952-2002. Preston became the 50th 'city' in England on that day. Preston is a busy market town situated in the north west of England, it forms a triangle with Liverpool, and Manchester, each being about 30 miles apart, Preston being the apex of the triangle to the north. The town is situated on a rise overlooking the Ribble valley, with the River Ribble almost circling the town. Archaeological evidence found along the River Ribble, suggests that there were settlers in the area as long ago as 8,000 B.C. Very little is known about early Preston, but it is probable that the 'church' acted as the nucleus of the towns beginings. One theory says that Preston was formed by monks from the famous monastery at Ripon in Yorkshire, after St. Wilfred aquired the lands 'juxta Rippel' ( by the Ribble) in about A.D. 670. This would explain how Preston got its name: it is derived from the words 'tun (i.e. town) of the priests'. PriestTown (Preston) There are many theories, this is but one. During the 'middle ages' Preston saw some very 'hard times', (Charles Dickens based his best seller, 'Hard Times' on life in Preston) local wars, poverty, and illness took a very hard toll on the people. From 1314 to 1316 three harvests in a row failed, many people died of starvation. For years the town stuggled to recover, then in 1348 a terrible outbreak of bubonic plague which had already ravaged the European continent spread through England. In Preston at least one third of the entire population-men, women and children- died of plague, mostly during the summer months. There were recurrences of plague in 1361-62, 1369, and a very serious outbreak some years later..1630-31.

California in the Civil War Welcome to the California in the Civil War Homepage! Most people forget that California was a part of the Union during the Civil War. This page is meant to help broaden people's awareness of the role that California played in preserving the union. It is a work in progress, and useful information and suggestions are welcome. The State of California is credited with providing 15,725 volunteers to the Union Armies during the Civil War. The units provided break down as follows: two full regiments and one battalion of cavalry, eight full regiments of infantry, and one battalion of infantry called mountaineers. These men all served in the west and southwest. The First Regiment, Washington Territory Infantry Volunteers had eight companies that were recruited in California. California gold helped finance the Union effort. California soldiers helped keep the land between CA and the rest of the Union from anarchy. California soldiers helped keep the Confederates in Texas from spreading farther west. California soldiers helped secure the Pacific Coast and keep the confederacy from gaining strength there.

UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA CIVIL WAR CONFERENCE SCHOOL OF CONTINUING AND PROFESSIONAL STUDIES NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS FOR ADULTS THE SECOND ANNUAL UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA CIVIL WAR CONFERENCE THE 1864 SHENANDOAH VALLEY CAMPAIGN May 31 – June 4, 2000 - Harrisonburg, Virginia Why was the Shenandoah Valley targeted for devastation in 1864? What was the impact of this destruction on Robert E. Lee, Ulysses S. Grant, the political leadership in Washington and Richmond, and the future of the war? PROGRAM FEATURES PROGRAM FACULTY PROGRAM LOCATION SCHEDULE ... PROGRAM PHOTOS Join Gary Gallagher and an exceptional group of colleagues for four and one-half days of lectures, extensive walking-tours, and lively discussions focused on one of the most compelling military episodes of the Civil War – the 1864 Shenandoah Valley Campaign. The 1864 campaign in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia combined elements of high drama and substantial military and political consequence. It was critical to the North, especially to the Federal army trying to take Richmond, that the South be deprived of the important strategic and agricultural assets of the Valley. As Bruce Catton wrote, “A garden spot was to be turned into a desert in order that the Southern nation might be destroyed.” A victory in the Valley was also crucial to Northern Republicans as a means of countering both war weariness and the Democrats’ contention that the war was a failure. With the stakes high, a campaign to take control of the Valley began.

The Topic: Civil War Easier - In the United States, the Civil War was between the Confederacy, or southern states, and the Union, or northern states. The U.S. Civil War, also called the War between the States, lasted from 1861 to 1865. Harder - The U. S. Civil War is also known as the War Between the States and the War of Secession. It began April 12, 1861, when Southern troops opened fire on Fort Sumter, a U.S. military post in Charleston, S.C. More Americans were killed in the Civil War than any other war in history. The war divided the people of the United States; in some families brother fought against brother. The war ended four years later on April 9, 1865, when Confederate General Robert E. Lee surrendered his ragged army to Union General Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House in Virginia.

The Civil War started for many different reasons. One of the larger ones, however, was that abolitionists (people completely against slavery that felt it should be stopped immediately) were on the rise in the North. The majority of the North felt it should be stopped while the majority of the South wanted to preserve their way of life. This (and some other reasons) created tension and led to the Confederacy's attack of Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861. The majority of the Southern states seceded from the Union and formed their own government called the Confederacy. Many lives were lost during the war. One in every fifty Americans died. Both sides were strong and put up an amazing fight. Soon what was left of the Confederacy (led by General Robert E. Lee) surrendered to the North at Appomattox Court House, Virginia.
