I have read Civil War history since I was a young kid. I recall reading about the early years of the war and Lincoln`s exasperation at the lack of will to fight as demonstrated by McClellan,Hooker,Meade and the rest. McClellan was a great organizer ,but not very aggressive combat wise. When Lincoln heard about the exploits and fighting ability of Grant fighting in the West, Lincoln finally gave the leadership of The Army of The Potomac to Grant. Other generals reportedly complained to Lincoln about Grant`s love of liquor. Lincoln reportedly said "great,I need him, he fights, and what is his favorite brand"? Or something to that affect. My family came from Holly Springs ,Mississippi and fought on the Confederate side, and my great grand uncles were in the 14th and 44th Mississippi and reportedly were wounded and captured at Gettysburg in 1863,the turning point of the war. I always sided with the Union though. The Confederates were nearly all Democrats,and fought to keep the institution of slavery intact,and after the war Nathan Bedford Forrest founded the KKK and the Democrats went on to write the JIM CROW LAWS. The Republican Party was founded in 1854 in Wisconsin and politically set up on a number of platforms mostly anti-slavery planks. Black folks still to this day support their Democratic former slave holders, and still vote 93% Democrat. Someone explain that to me?

Probably because Democrats broke with their southern history under LBJ and aggressively supported the civil rights movement in the 1960s, while the Republicans swapped places with the Democrats via their “southern strategy” under Nixon and now distinguish themselves by voter suppression, especially those of color. No secret why minorities by and large. vote Democratic. Proud descendant of a member of the 62nd PA Volunteers,. .

Do they know that President Benjamin fought to get through Congress a bill that would have implemented the Civil War Amendments but could not get it through a Congress with too many of Bourbon Democrats. He continued to be their friend after he left office.

@nobodyknows3180 4 месяца назад

I am not sure, but I think that the Reconstruction Era following the Civil War caused a shift in what the Democratic and Republican parties stood for, to the extent that they sort of 'swapped places' - try to remember, African Americans generally got a rawer deal from northern politicians who were more anxious to move on without rebuilding the south, and this included enfranchizing newly liberated slave populations.

Had any such general been at the head of the French army in 1940, the Germans advance would;d have been halted. The offensive-defensive mentality was sorely lacking in the French high command. General DeGaulle being the exception. This description of Grant in command is, in any case, simply astonishing. His power of the pen, so evident in his memoirs as well as here is amazing. But also his ability to push through physical pain. His fall in New Orleans ought to have laid him up for months. But he indeed had the strength and tenacity of a professional jockey.

@halporter9 4 месяца назад

Well Grant was a brilliant General and he would never have overlooked the potentials of the Ardennes. Maybe as important, Grant was in his early 40s, the French marshals were at least 30 years older with sclerotic brains.

@fundamentos3439 4 месяца назад

There is unfortunately partial information of the 1940 French Army in the US & the UK. De Gaulle was not the only aggressive commander , there were many others. The big tragedy is that Gamelin was removed from his post , just when the trapped Franco - British armies in Belgium were to strike south , and at the same time , the French armies north of the Maginot Line were to strike north. Had it been done , the campaign's outcome would have been very different. Politics had intervened. Weygand was to take charge , and 24 to 48 vital hours slipped by , because he cancelled all of Gamelin's orders. Had the joint attack proceeded , the Panzer forward units would have become isolated , and the German infantry , forced to face a double envelopement , such as Consul Varro had faced at the Teuteborg forest nineteen centuries before.

@steffenb.jrgensen2014 4 месяца назад

This is a myth. The French Army or its plans were not particularly defensive in 1940. On the contrary you could say that they were too offensive, as the best parts of the French Army were sent into Belgium as soon as the German attack commenced. Had those forces been kept beack in a strategic reserve the German attack probably would have bogged down and the war moved into the attritional war for which the French had prepared and which Germany and particularly Hitler couldn't survive. The French plan was for keeping the front until 1941, when strength for an all-out firepower based offensive was expected to have been built up. The allied doctrines of WWII were much closer to French 1940 doctrines than to German Blitzkrieg, but the US and British by 1943 and on had a much stronger materiel superiority, inkl radios and airsuperiority. Still, in late 1944 the the US Army was fooled in the same place and manner as the French in 1940, and reacted in a similar manner - ie units panicking and dissolving among pockets of brave resistance - but in contrast to 1940 the German army this time only had fuel for the initial moves and as soon as the clouds cleared allied air superiority solved the problem.

Yeah sure, the biggest war in history, not by a long chalk. The Napoleonic wars could easily have been called the first world war. It lasted longer, involved nations from the US to Australia, saw minor skirmishes in Sth America even and the loss of Sth Africa from the Dutch to the British. Look at Wagram for the biggest battle. Russia for the biggest stage. The oceans for the biggest battles. I imagine the un-named general didn't actually know there was anything beyond the borders of the US.
