November Grant is ready to make his move  the first was able to compel Bragg to withdrawal the force from Lookout Mountain Securities commentary overlooking all Chattanooga Thomas's Bible Army in the commode was today the the force that would fix the Confederate fruits and place  force them to pay attention to their front the real action was supposed to take Confederate flag as it happened these forces will not have to study as a hippo however Georgia truth having gas in the first line Confederate Michael Smith did not say all musante is it kept going up Missionary Ridge has the campaigning season that they need to see three way on down the union was in control of Chattanooga important real Junction and had Runners & Co vacuums results Georgia until the campaign season 1963 when I'm down and really if you look at it so that if you don't look like that much hair a great deal has changed the Confederacy Discount Liquors in the Army control smaller and the war of attrition at work anyway Southern ground so in 1852 and 1863 the Confederate population was deprived of food stuff they were to pry of many of the things that they took for granted but much more important than that was the destruction that the Union Army started to leak on Southern Care and Southern population just was terrible and yes I will have to say that southern Victory awesome made those. voice wow look at the campaigning season of 1864 to be more or above the mood of desperation and hanging on the boxing this is the year with a minute was this is the year we can convince the enemy that their war is futile that we will never allow ourselves to be conquered the moon contract is one of confidence people feel the war is finally coming to an end Miracle superiority great industrial superiority finally coming into place the northern troops were the best at Justified that the world has ever seen Northern factories we're going at full speed just Farm huge crop not just for the arming and for the American people vote for Europe things so good and then Ulysses S Grant to Washington DC to take control the Army and finally it seemed as if there would be a leader a military leader who could work with president at least that's what Megan said is my man and I am hurt until the end of the war The Fortunes of the Army and the presidency people who confidence of breath will come up with a winning plan plan like himself simple and direct you said we need to activate all of our men all the soldiers and if we that we will be able to conquer and to keep the southern Army in the future that plan became part of Overland Park in which began in the month of April and May and continued in May and June of 1864 sadly just as difficult campaign as all the other property room George Meade General who led the army of the Potomac since Gettysburg William Sherman and then Union Creek in the West after defeating Confederate forces he begins his March to the Sea covered it already declared it one way or another that war is so fun that was hell  and Sherman I think believe that it was his duty to make war as horrible as he possibly could in order to convince the Confederates that it was in their best interest to submit  that he deserves checking out his Army in three different columns across much of Middle Georgia all the way from Atlanta to Savannah  the campaign 6 weeks from November to December 21st Winston NFL also has the defense honestly population plays in the interior of begin to demand wages begin to open up new kinds of me Jason's with a message from a much more powerful opposition and of course the mechanisms for control of the slaves of population the weekends of course again pages of balance of power in cases they became restless and inspired fears on the part of it was going to open the way to a slave insurrections how what the primary happened was slaves voting with their feet and ran away as soon as you know me Route 20 miles and they knew her friends and federal armies even though their masters often trying to conceal that may compromise common term was Grease which was news from the war since of the Union Army into the South and was the slaves running away to the army of being transformed into soldiers liberating that family becoming liberators of their people that we see that the process of emancipation is going on both on the ground that is intensive what slaves were doing even as it's going on in the kind of high politics in Congress  in Virginia the grant need campaign against during the summer and fall of 1864 is not making much Headway I seen some of the bloodiest of this or any other were the casualties unbelievably high and not only that this was a different reminder for the word 1864 wasn't like Gettysburg where you meet for 3 days it wasn't like the other battles will you meet two or three days and you either stalemate or you have a big green then you go back to your Camp know it was a grinding day after day after day of course it would be result with Suarez of the troops made me realize they could not live in the open so you serve little teacup from Mexican trying to dig holes for themselves to get lower  they

turn back of rays on Richmond rehab and hand tell him where the Union Army was losing or which direction at least and what strength and now for a crucial feed after Cold Harbor Grant was able to free himself from Levi's  what he did was cross the James River and move on the real junctional Petersburg about 23 miles below Richmond if you can't roll papers but you Huguley Titan device on the cap in the Confederacy Petersburg luck became a significant to defend initially was not convinced that was the question Grand sometimes he didn't know Cummings defensive position of Petersburg Beauregard appealed for reinforcements at one point he had many 1500 Defenders against 4537 these troops however remember how old Harbor remember the futility of front of the time they leave for Grand had lost

time for the embattled president he would be recognized by the North and allowed to exist as a nation replaced as a presidential candidate a democratic couldn't believe that he had a little bit of trouble with his own party to get ramama native in 1864 as late as August of 1864 was convinced that his campaign for reelection to do that wasn't going to win the entire Union war effort was really

they would or could be important deliver  the day after the Democrats elected American they thought would be the winner in the 1864 election George McClellan Atlanta Falcon Sherman Sherman wired Lincoln Atlanta is ours and fairly won. I can't tell you what a big heart that's crazy. Great Victory played in backing Lincoln for the 1864 elections show you how closely tied the battlefield was to the homefront once Sherman took Atlanta once he started his Georgia things seem to go much better for the Union Army chance to vote believing in correctly so that soldiers would affirm the war effort in which there was her alone desperately law heard that Lincoln was and in hindsight while I handle it never left the election of 1864 was incredible dream boy for most of the Civil War in the winter the Army's word count there wasn't a lot of fighting going on Congress in the winter of 1864 list Pastor 13th Amendment now let's show the countries and show the the world we are going to erase the stain from our nation once control put it in the Constitution believe it or not they will still alive opposition to an application but there was enough arm-twisting by Lincoln and a republican we're finally in the spring it did cash inaugural speech text atone for reconstruction that Lincoln Mark and that tone is a generous leniency and he wants to sub know that he would welcome the back on generous terms but they do have to accept emancipation he will not let that go ever in Spring of 1855 there was an expectation of the tree in the air with now just a matter of time the trench deadlock Lee with a radar Washington conducted by Jubilee early antibiotic LA Kings out of reproof who was able to threaten Washington But ultimately early troops hazardous Ross into the valley and Philip Sheridan rings around middle call Detroit attempt to break the deadlock of the trenches in front of Petersburg came in the form of a of a mud loser man asks some Western Pennsylvania miners real life on how to undermine the Confederate fortifications mine tunnel under the Confederate Works they planted 8,000 lb of gunpowder they set it off and then where to pour a reinforced Army Corps Nissan 20,000 troops through this opening a division of African Americans have the first and trained to razor this opening secure the shoulders of the opening and maintain and wide-open support routes into the Confederate leader at the Grant and Mead the game concern that if the plan didn't work and these people became terrified how would that look psycho so they replaced the black division with a white one as it happened the troops did not crack through the prayer in the Confederate rear is there a good things like trying to take captured artillery pieces because of the longer the air with back to their old ones so that when the Confederate came back it was literally like shooting fish in a barrel and they were either see that battle of the crater Century began after 5:40 in the morning hand was over by then.
