Just curious—why is the link to NFL scores? And why are the Southern forces referred to as “General Robert E. Lee’s exhausted Confederate forces” while the Union forces are “Yankees”? Shouldn’t it be Confederate Forces and Union Forces, or Rebels and Yankees, just for consistency’s sake?

If this isn’t meant to be an objective reporting of the history but yet another “Confederacy was great, Yankees were evil even though we’re living in the nation that exists because they won” vanity, then no problem.
