God bless Rogersville, TN. There never was any question in Davis's mind on who to replace Johnston with. John B. Hood was his little spy and he was put there to sabotage Johnston.

Thank you, Dr Wilder!

It's pretty obvious that Johnstone couldn't cover his flanks. Johnstone stalled well, and it took Sherman sis months to reach Atlanta. It took him 5 weeks tp get tp Savanah after Johnstone left.

Thanks again 👍

At 10:08, it said defensively, but you said offensively. What does V 1 stand for? Davis made a big mistake putting Hood in command of the army. Johnston's method of commanding had kept losses low up until that point. With Hood in command, they began stacking, like at Kolb's Farm.

Seems like a stalemate in mid-summer of '64. Sherman's army at the gates of Atlanta, Grant nears Richmond. The public seemed to be weary of the war and wanting to end. The situation was dire.

I just went there yesterday for the first time and hiked the trails entirely by myself. Words cannot convey how dense and obtuse the terrain was. The ravine left me without words, I climbed down into it myself just to get an idea of how deep it was and how steep the Confederate’s was on the ridge. RIP the brave soldiers who died there.

Ohios First 😮

No good medicine , 😕

We been there.

This video saved me! I have to to act a Nicholas Biddle in a trial against Jackson in APUSH 🙏

Hell yeah 😎 one of my favorite chill spots on the battlefield 😁

How common was it for divisional commanders to get that close? I know the brigadiers were up in it, Jimmy Kemper being badly wounded, and Gannett being killed, but we're talking about a divisional general. 150 200 yards is pretty close. I remember Hood getting so close he lost an arm or at least the use of it.

I believe it was called "Soldier's Disease."

Pompous ass! Insufferable!

Sadly the Know Nothings are alive and thriving today.

Have you publishedor loaded only the first part of the documentary about Burnside or are there any other parts to which maybe I didn't pay attention ?

Buried here in Swan Point Cemetery in Rhode Island.

Great start. i have always thought Burnside was underrated. I look forward to more.

Finally, we're covering Marse Burnside, the savior of East Tennessee

My church is located just before the entrance to Chickamauga Battlefield!

So jokingly that Burnside as a Cadet Barber is like Bill Dauterive Sergeant Barber. LOL

I think that Burnside ruined a lot of campaigns for the Union because of ego.

Great video. Not a brilliant general or even a good one but tried to do his best and avoided drama.

Good choice, and a fascinating piece. Amazing that snippet about what happened to Tories after the Revolution.

It’s hard to not like Burnside.

Been waiting for this one!

Yes!!! I've been waiting for this series on Burnside!

👏👏👏

Thanks once again sir 👍

This is fabulous work. Thank you for this contribution to the digital age.

Greene's greatest battle; a tactical victory for Cornwallis but a strategic defeat that in the end spelled Yorktown

Great fun fact 😊

this COMENTARY PROMOTED HILL AS THIE BEST OF THE BEST SOUTHERN GENERALS

Is it possible that 'ancient aliens' relies on a formulae of advancing spurious conjectural crap in the form of a series of rhetorical questions?

12:10 I think that's supposed to be the 24th Ohio, not the 36th Indiana. The 6th Ohio advanced, the 24th behind them. The 6th retreated behind the 24th, which was lying prone, and they simultaneously fired on the Confederates, charged into the scattering men, and captured 300 of them (between the two regiments). The entire time, the 36th Indiana and 23rd Kentucky were in reserve. The reserve infantry were reportedly too far to be effective in the fight. The 24th was led by Brevet Colonel Frederick C. Jones (26), who was killed later that day. ["Early in the morning of the 31st ultimo heavy artillery and musketry firing was distinctly heard on our right, and as the sound neared our position it was evident that our forces were falling back, and our position in danger of being flanked, when our front was immediately changed to the left and rear, immediately in rear of the Sixth Ohio, which had now become earnestly engaged with the enemy, who was under cover of thick woods. We immediately moved forward to support the Sixth, and were ordered to lie down in the open space, about 50 paces in their rear, being much exposed to a galling fire of rebel infantry. The deadly fire of the enemy in superior numbers was moving down the ranks of the gallant Sixth, and they were compelled to fall back. Col. Jones now ordered the regiment to fall back, which was done in good order. We halted at about 150 paces, and lay down to await the enemy's approach from the cover of the woods into the open space that separated us. On they came like a tornado that would destroy everything in its path. Encouraged by their success in driving the forces upon our right, they charged upon a battery lying upon our right, belonging to Gen. Rousseau's command, when almost simultaneously our forces lying in their front opened upon them with a tremendous fire from our infantry and artillery, moving them down almost by ranks, causing dismay and confusion, when they broke and fled in disorder to the cover of woods from which they had but just emerged."] A. T. M. COCKERILL, Capt., Cmdg. Twenty-fourth Ohio Regt. ["About daylight, cannon and gun fire was heard to the right of Rosecrans' army, and by 8 a.m., the sounds of battle were steadily getting louder as the battle approached Palmer's Division. Soon, Colonel Grose issued orders for his brigade to advance south into the woods in support of Brigadier General Charles Cruft's Brigade and Colonel William B. Hazen's two brigades. Before the 24th Ohio could reach the woods directly south of their campsite, however, Batteries H & M of the 4th U. S. Artillery shifted their position to face westward and opened fire on Confederates who had broken Brigadier General James S. Negley's Division on their right. A large Confederate force, having penetrated the Union line, advanced uncontested toward Grose's right and rear. Colonel Frederick C. Jones saw the breakthrough and at once ordered the 24th Ohio Infantry Regiment to about face, and march to the rear 150 paces. Then, coolly shifting his regimental front to face west, Colonel Jones ordered his men to fire into the flank of the advancing Confederates. The combined fire from the 24th OVI, Batteries H & M, and other regiments, struck the flanks of the unsupported but still advancing Confederate brigade. The unleashed firepower killed Confederate Brigadier James E. Rains and wounded many Confederates, forcing the withdrawal of the withered Confederate command. The 24th Ohio Regiment then advanced and claimed about 200 Confederate prisoners while restoring order to this portion of the Union battleline."] John Rutherford, 24th Ohio Website

One of my favorite places to visit. Having lived about 40 miles from there and having taught military history and science, used to go there frequently.

Fascinating story!

Brotha's be like, "Howard be a while man?"

Interesting.

Good video, although the narrator does not have a firm grasp of English grammar and syntax.

General Thomas is a truly undervalued commander by historians

Sherman was the first President of what is now Louisiana State University (LSU). The only recognition of that today is a portrait of him in auxiliary library on the campus.

My 3rd great grandfather was in the 17th Texas. He with them through it all till the end of the war.
