2 3/ C)Connolly House Address: 948 6th St., Charleston, IL, This home, built in 1863, features an Italianate façade, typical of a home built during the Civil War. The style includes decorative brackets, arches over the windows, and long narrow windows. Colonel J. A. Connelly moved to Charleston in 1860, but left in 1862 to serve as Major of the 123rd Illinois Volunteers in the Civil War. Connelly built this home for his bride, Mary Dunn, in At the funeral of President Lincoln, in NYC, in April 1865, he served as a member of the President s honor guard and returned to Charleston in 1865 to start a law practice. Later, President Grant appointed Connelly US District Attorney for the Southern District in /D) Charleston Square: Charleston Riot Address: 7th St & Jackson Ave, Charleston, IL / E) Chambers Cemetery/ Old City Cemetery Address: Corner of Madison and E Street, Charleston IL The Mason-Dixon Line passes through Charleston as it runs along Lincoln St (ROUTE 16). This line shows the divide between the North and the South, explaining the amount of civil discord in the area. Feelings seem to run high between Southern sympathizers called Copperheads, and the Union soldiers on leave. On March 28, 1864, with alcohol in the mix, violence broke out around the Charleston Square. By the time the riot had ended, nine were dead and twelve had been wounded. An artistic mural of the event can be seen one block west of the Historic Marker at the corner of 6th street and Jackson Avenue. Discover the graves of Charleston s earliest residents, which include Lincoln s extended family, and victims of the 1864 Charleston Riot. Look for the grave of Oliver Sallee, a Union Soldier, and the first person to die in the Charleston Riot. In one account of the incident, around 3-4 o clock, on March 28, 1864, soldier, Oliver Sallee, private in Company C, 54th Illinois Infantry, stepped up to Nelson Wells, supposed leader of the Copperheads, and playfully asked him if there were any copperheads in town. Wells replied, Yes, God d-n you, I am one! and drawing his revolver, shot at Sallee, but missed him. In an instant Sallee was shot from another direction and fell. Rising up, he fired at Wells, hitting his vital organs, killing Wells. Sallee then died from his gunshot wounds.

3 6/F) Lincoln-Douglas Debate Museum, 1858 (Fairgrounds) Address: Coles County Fairgrounds, 416 West Madison Ave. Charleston, IL On September 18, 1858, the fourth of the famous joint debates between Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas was held on the Fairgrounds where one thousand people heard the two candidates for the United States senatorship discuss the question of slavery in American politics.

Grant took his first post of the American Civil War when he assumed command of the 21st Illinois Infantry in Mattoon at Camp Goode.
