Civil War & Recon, DSST (UL)

[Gary]

Did anyone find any small battles on your exam such as Rich Mountain, Carthage, Boonville, Big Bethel, Phillippi, Battle of Hemp Bales, Belmont, Ivy Mountain or anything like these? Or were the questions related to Gettysburg, Vicksburg, Antietam, Fort Sumter and Bull Run, the larger battles? Some small battles are significant such as Phillippi (considered first major land action in Eastern Theater) or Rich Mountain (instrumental in propelling McClellan to command of Army of the Potomac) or Boonville (early victory established Union control of the Missouri River and helped douse attempts to place Missouri in the Confederacy). I see where most people say this was a rather straight forward test, I'd rather focus on what really matters than what is interesting. In my search, I have found numerous small battles, all significant in their own way, but memorizing them will take more time than I am prepared to give. Any help is appreciated.
