The battle took place during the Civil War on March 19-21, 1865. This was the largest battle ever fought in North Carolina; it covered an area of 6,000 acres. Over 4,000 men were reported killed, wounded, or missing during this ihree-day battle. The purpose of this battle was to defeat General William T. Sherman’s Union forces after they had advanced through South Carolina. General Joseph E. Johnston and his Confederate forces had orders to stop General Ulysses S. Grant from combining their forces for a much larger combat element. Gen. Johnston knew that his best chance for success was to separate Gen. Sherman’s troops during their northward march to Virginia. know is that I really do care about them and it is my joy to be able to teach them,” said Poston. A member of the Department of Physical Education’s faculty received an award for Excellence in Teaching from the University of North Carolina board of governors in April. Dr. Mary E. Clancy, who has been a member of the WSSU faculty since 1988, received S7,500 and a bronze medallion during a luncheon at the George Watts Hill Alumni Center in Chapel Hill. Dr. Pauline Fulton, a member of the Department of English and Foreign Languages' faculty received the Wachovia Excellence in Teaching Award. She previously received the award in 1993. The road conditions in the area of Newton Grove, North Carolina were terrible to move horse - drawn wagons and cannons on them. The soldiers had to cut down trees to place on the roads for traction. The Infantry troops mostly had to march in through the woodlands. As students of military science, the cadets analyzed some of the technological developments that occurred during the Civil War. The soldiers started concepts of Tactic Movements, Squad and Platoon Offensive and Defensive Operations, Combat Patrols, Communications and Signals. The soldiers also dug trenches and fox-holes for a defensive fighting positions. Before this concept soldiers would just stand shoulder-to-shoulder in long lines, out in an open field. This led to the developments of Offensive and Defensive Fire Support Planning and setting up Securi!y. Today, the ROTC cadets appreciate and learn from all the strencths and weaknesses in military strategic planning. 2104 Peters Creek Parkway Winston-Salem Parkway Ford introduces The College Graduate Purchase Plan' for The WSSU CLASS of '96 No Down Payment $400 Rebate 120-Day Deferred First Payment NO CREDIT HISTORY REQUIRED -Same Day Delivery- Contact: Steve Thompson (910) 724-5921 * G-e-neraC ELigibiCity ; :Any stuctent wHo Fv»s recently grcwluatect, or witt soon yracCuate, Jrom » JouT~ye«r colXeye with an 14-nctergrcwl.ucite or yrcvctuate ctegree, as weDD cvs stucCents cu-rrentty enrot-Cect in grcwii*ate school.
