However, when the scheduled check-ins were missed and 30 months passed with no sign of the flotilla, Earth declared the flotilla lost, mourning the largest loss of life in the modern era. The colonization flotilla entered the artificial wormhole without incident. These colonists were intended to become the second wave of settlers in the newly sufficient Antares Colonies. On the 1st March 2159 CE, 6 million colonists departed Earth's orbit as part of the Earhart Colonization Program. History Birth of a Nation Earhart Colonization Program 1.1.4 Second Colonization Effort (210 AL - 248 AL).Although details of this plan changed during the war, the basic outline remained the key to victory. Finally, they would advance into the Confederate heartland, especially toward its capital in Richmond, Virginia. Third, they would capture strongholds along the Mississippi River, isolating the southwestern states from the eastern ones. Second, they would blockade Southern ports, thus restricting trade with Europe. First, they would negotiate with border states like Maryland to keep them in the Union. Lincoln and his advisors developed a multipronged strategy to defeat the South. Unlike the Confederates, the Union had to fight and win an offensive war. And if it could convince France or England to recognize and support its government, chances of victory were even greater. The Confederacy had fewer men, less capital, and less industrial capacity than the North, but its defensive strategy might prevail. When opportunities arose, they would augment this strategy with selective offensive strikes. They needed only to prolong their conflict long enough to convince the Union that victory would be too costly to bear. The goal of the Confederates was to win the war by not losing. Weary Union troops retreated, then panicked and fled helter-skelter back to Washington. Late in the day, the Confederates counterattacked.
Confederate general Thomas Jackson earned the nickname Stonewall for his stout defensive stance. Attacking early in the morning, Union forces first seemed to be winning, but the Confederates checked their advance. He wanted to move quickly against the enemy, hoping a decisive victory would quell the rebellion. The battle came about when President Lincoln ordered General Irvin McDowell to strike Confederate forces at Manassas Junction, as a step toward taking Richmond. It shattered illusions that either side would win quickly or easily. The Battle of Bull Run, the first major clash in the Civil War, ended in a Confederate victory.
