Default Trivia Game # 35 - Week 1
Time to start Game # 35. Rules will essentially be the same as for Game # 34, except that, of course, the game is starting on November 5, rather than September 24.

Here are the questions for Week 1.

1. West Virginia and what other state were admitted to the Union between the dates of the attack on Ft. Sumter and Lee’s surrender at Appomattox?

2. What was Andrew Johnson’s occupation prior to his entry into politics?

3. What member of the West Point Class of May 1861 was promoted to brigadier general after he devised an innovative plan for assaulting the Confederate position at the Mule Shoe during the Battle of Spotsylvania?

4. What Confederate general nicknamed for a state refused to shake hands with Winfield Hancock after being captured at the Battle of Spotsylvania?

5. (Two point question) What Union general shot and killed another Union general at Louisville, KY on Sept. 29, 1862?

Answers to the questions for Week 1 will be due by 6 PM on Saturday, November 12.

Godd luck!
