Yes. Battle of Gettysburg is one!

Critical-as it was the last time the confederacy tried to invade the north.

Hmm. So 1840's? I'm putting on my thinking cap...

Earlier wars fought at sea around mid 19th century?

It was David Farragut in the Battle of Mobile Bay, 1864.

True history nerds may enjoy googling the Farragut family's naval history-his father was of Spanish extraction and fought on our side in the Revolutionary War.

So early 19th century wars in America include 1812, Texas war for independence, and battles between settlers and Native Americans.

In Europe there were the Napoleonic wars in the early years of the century.
