In the mid-19th century, many people lived relatively normal days as farmers, business people, students, teachers, doctors, nurses, policemen and clergy. Those who served in the Federal or Confederate military experienced long periods of drudgery and boredom, punctuated with relatively short and violent extreme-combat at close range.

The winter months tended to see less direct major force engagements.

In my opinion the most significant event was the Battle of Olustee, (Ocean Pond), Florida followed by the Cherokee National Council abolishing slavery as they disavowed CSA General Stand Watie's pro-slavery faction.
