We got two more battles coming up for you in this episode. The first is the Battle of Pea Ridge taking place on March 7-8, 1862 near Leetown, Arkansas. The Union is looking to drive the Rebels out of Missouri and into Arkansas. Our second is the Battle of Hampton Roads also known as the Battle of The Iron Clads. We have an epic showdown between two ironclad monsters, the USS Monitor and the CSS Virginia. The Virginia was built from the salvaged USS Merrimack after the Union failed to destroy it while fleeing from Virginia after it's succession.
