armies hands. hasntially what mcclellan is a copy of lee's marching orders from one day earlier, which indicated they were expired, or at least out of date, the operation to remove union forces from harpers ferry should have been wrapped up. they said nothing of confederate troops strength, the orders were no longer 100% accurate. different confederate commands had adjusted their marching routes. essentially, rather than a high definition picture, it gives mcclellan a blurry portrait, telling him that the confederates are divided. with these orders in mind, mcclellan takes about seven hours to do some reconnaissance. many formulate the battle plan for the next day. that leads to the battle of south mountain, where mcclellan attacked part of lee's army. south mountain was an important battle during the campaign. it was a turning point in this campaign. there is a great book on that battle but a good friend of mine. i would encourage you to check that out if you want to learn more about it. on septem

the army. all jubal was certainly a character. one thing i want to say about him, when he was highly motivated to serve robert e lee, and when that commission he was on, he was at his best. early was 1864, jubal at the pinnacle of his career as a commander in the army of northern virginia. now, this man pictured on the screen now is major general horatio wright, commander of the six core, placed in command of the troops who had come to washington to save it from his capture. when he slips away from washington on the night of july writes says it takes 21 hours before he can take his troops there almost a full day, so early will have an easy time with the exception of rearguard action. horatio wright will not only have the sixth floor, but he will have the vanguard of the 19th army corps, which was supposed to go from louisiana to petersburg but was diverted up to washington because of the crisis induced by jubal early's invasion. time,t that point in horatio wright is going to pursue him out to

ahead of the national army. conversely with the notable exception of those who prematurely pursued slave emancipation or whose aggressive field generalship earned the president's respect and thus protection, western commanders who urged caution or conciliation to allow time for slave states with majority unionist populations to reconsider secession and reenter the union, they were replaced. among them, winfield scott, william s. harney, robert anderson, don carlos buell and, of course, mcclellan himself. all of them pro slavery democrats. unlike mcclellan, westerners would make good on such boasts in their own region. in northern missouri, in july 1861, stephen hulbert -- a staunch republican, waged the kind of warfare that others had initiated a few months earlier in the western part of the state. when hulbert's men learned that john mcafee, the deposed speaker of the missouri house was at his home in shelby county according to the report he was arrested , and required by general hulbert to dig trenches in the

the continental army really needed a win. washington was afraid that the -- he really knew that what he needed was a bold action. after meeting with his war council, he made the decision that on christmas night he would cross the delaware and march to attack delaware. in that time a snowstorm started. it was terrible, there was snow and hail, and it was basically a bad nor'easter. the weather was absolutely a part of that. >> general washington, can you tell us about your secret mission stop >> this is our final chance to make an impact on this war. the problem we have is our enlistments are expiring. days in order to make this attack. weatherfeel it with the behind us, we have the element of surprise on our side, we will take the city of trenton, raise the troops and prove to congress that we are a viable army that they should support, and hopefully enlistments will rise. >> have you done any operation like this before? >> we have not. the only operations we have done where the evacuations from new york, which was very well

army had responsibility for code breaking by the japanese army, which is now spread out on all these islands and landmasses around the pacific ocean. so the u.s. army had to figure out, where are we going to get our women? if the navy had approached all these women's colleges and sewn up the northeastern seaboard, where are we going to get our educated minds to work on the japanese army ciphers? the army decided to recruit schoolteachers. dot braden,this is from lynchburg, virginia, not far from my hometown of roanoke. she was teaching school in 1942, eldest daughter in a family of four, mom a single mother, her mother, her parents were separated, her mother was supporting their household and of $900 a year was supporting her mother at household, and her two younger brothers were already in the u.s. army. she was overburdened by work and what i love about her story is, it shows how u.s. army recruiting strategy was wrongheaded, even as it worked. army approach to recruiting schoolteachers whizz to send their handsomest young army officers out to lurk in post offices and hotels throug

in the army. mulligan longed for a battlefield command. he started off the war in 1861 as the commander of a garrison in missouri and he was surrounded by a large confederate force that outnumbered him four to one. he held out for about a week and he earned a lot of praise at a time when bull run was going on and there was a lot of negativity. he showed some gusto. he will be surrounded and forced to capitulate. while he is going to be paroled and in this which is an extended time of six months, he is not allowed to take part in active military operations. what he does is travel across .he northern states war, he became prominent in the democratic political machine of chicago. he was eight stephens democrat. when that election was going on, back in the day there were no tv interviews or going city to city. the candidates would have spokesman. it was important for you to have good spokesman in various communities telling those people about your stand and rallying them to vote for you. mulligan came

ahead of the national army. conversely with the notable exception of those who rematurely pursued slave emancipation or whose aggressive field generalship earned the respect and thus protection, western commanders or urged caution conciliation to allow time for slave states with majority populations to reconsider succession and eenter the union, they were replaced. among them, winfield scott, harney, robert anderson, don carlos buell and, course, mcclellan himself. all-pro slavery democrats. mcclellan, westerners would make good on such boasts in their own region in. missouri, in july 1861, republican,a staunch waged the kind of warfare that others had initiated a few western rlier in the part of the state. when he learned that john of the deposed speaker missouri house was 59 his home in shelby county according to he report he was arrested and required by general -- to dig trenches in the hot sun all day. remarked and he went -- still he told me it was admitted that it was doubtful if any charge could be mainta

the army. he had inherited a small amount of money. three years later, he and his two brothers and a sister immigrated to the united states. they originally settled in cincinnati, ohio, but he moved on by himself to helena, arkansas in 1849 where he obtained employment as a pharmacist, and was accepted in the town's social order. in 1860, he had become a naturalized citizen of the united states and began the practice of law. veryas a very popular, was popular with local residents. during this time, he became close friends with thomas hyndman, another future confederate general from helena and a local democratic politician. when the war started, he readily joined the confederate army, was elected captain almost immediately of the rifles, and soon became colonel of the first arkansas. just before shiloh, he is promoted to general. his service at shiloh is mixed, as everyone else's was at shiloh. no one came out of that battle looking very good, but he was promoted to general. he is one year later

army, retired. i was combat command commander of ccb 10th armored division in world war ii. >> i am colonel curtis l. hanki ns, i was a battalion commander in the 10th armored division. my first encounter with enemy fire was during the defensive operation west of metz. it was here that we learned to sense artillery fire, that is , determine the difference between outgoing, which was friendly fire, [blasting] and incoming, which was german fire. if you could determine with some degree of accuracy where the enemy rounds were going to land, this would save a lot of wear and tear on your knees and elbows, and you would try to take cover every time the rounds would come over. >> i am colonel james o'hara. i commanded the 54th armored infantry battalion in the 10th armored division. i considered this initial baptism of fire in the defensive position was very good for the battalion. it give us time to gather our thoughts, practice some of the things we had been learning in the states, get our communication

so one of the things that's important to understand is a large numbers of enslaved men in the army is to refocus on the importance of slavery not just as a nation but confederacy is fighting for slavery that is true it's a little abstract that one way is to focus on the army because confederates every day whether in camp on the march on the battlefield whether they own 100 slaves are not they were reminded each and every day of the importance to maintain slavery. there is no confederate army there is no confederate war effort without the ends is one - - assistance of the enslaved people so what i want to do with the book is to tear down the myth the role of enslaved people throughout the confederacy and especially the rb during the war. these army marching north this summer 1853 culminating in the battle of gettysburg that numbers around 75000 men there are as many as 10000 enslaved men without rv. so they are fighting for slavery slavery follows every confederate army and its success its ability to do what it needs to do depends on a large part of the presence of enslaved men so the

if the army wants to keep employing him and he wants to keep being employed by the army, i'm sure that's what the case will be. >> they only give us a few minutes. those speeches just ask a question. >> thank you for your service. can you speak and president trump's multiple soldiers this past week and promotion of another input on the rejection to what the military has chosen for them? >> i don't know the particulars of those cases and speaking about the particulars of those cases, understand commander-in-chief might show that they serve and combat. even if they make mistakes or commit crimes, i do believe it is important to maintain good order ando discipline and my tie in the military, people whoho ae the toughest on soldiers arthur fellow soldier sailors, airmen and marines. i would refrain from not knowing all the facts, i have faith in our commanders and military justice system to do the right thing in those particular bases. >> are to ask, does the system allow for follow-up? before making a final decision, do they look at the entire performance of a person other military career?

the army has released a statement which is saying that the rank and file of the pakistan army has shown a lot of anguish and pain at this particular verdict, and what they are also saying is that musharraf has served with distinction for the last a0 years, has led the army, he's fought in wars so he cannot be a traitor of what he has done. in fact, this particular statement also goes on to add that pervez musharraf — the trial against him was not carried out with complete transparency. it was done against the individual, it was not done in a proper manner and this kind of thing, it showed that the army did not like this verdict at all. they have been showing a lot of assertiveness and a lot of disgruntledness about this particular decision. the government, the pti government, they haven't really given any formal reaction to it so far, but the advisor to the prime minister on media affairs — firdous ashiq awan — she has said that we are only waiting for the complete verdict to come in and only then we will analyse and give a response. in fact, firdous ashiq awan is not in the count

army had responsibility for code breaking by the japanese army, which is now spread out on all these islands and landmasses around the pacific ocean. so the u.s. army has to figure out where are we going to get , our women? if the navy had approached all these women's colleges and sewn up the northeastern seaboard, where are we going to get our educated minds to work on the japanese army ciphers? the army decided to recruit schoolteachers. this is dot braden, from lynchburg, virginia, not far from my hometown of roanoke. she was teaching school in 1942, eldest daughter in a family of four, mom a single mother, her mother, her parents were separated, her mother was supporting their household and dot's salary of $900 a year was supporting her mother at household, and her two younger brothers were already in the u.s. army. she was overburdened by work and what i love about her story is, it shows how u.s. army recruiting strategy was wrongheaded, even as it worked. the army approach to recruiting schoolteachers was to send their handsomest young army officers out to lurk in post offices

he spent years working his way to the top of the army. he forced now jerry's war of independence against the french and was considered a hero in his country. as a close ally to them president beautifully in 2004 he became chief of staff of the army and 2013 vice minister of defense i was in february this year and the sudden wave of protests algerians demanded the entire government step down. his loyalty to boot flicka had come to an end and he joined the calls from protest says for the president to resign but many ontarians tent their anger on to get salah obviously is part of the ordered establishment because of different positions he had in the algerian military it's only recently that some of the protesters as well calling for him to go because as far as they were concerned he did them all the. luck did not live up to expectations they expected all they wanted a more open democratic. some protesters are rejecting a 3 day mourning and a calling for real to mock and an end to the military state. one year since the start of a protest move

i remember saying to this man, "listen, i'm just a clerk in the army." he says, "no you're not, you're a nationalist from creggan". and then he went on to tell me, which i didn't know, he went on to tell me that bloody sunday wasn't what it was made out to be and the fact that i had a niece that had been shot dead in derry. i was told through bfes in germany that she'd been rioting. so he painted a different picture for me. so in fact you had many reasons to hate the british but in fact you were embraced by the british, persuaded to work for the british. correct. i suppose one of the important questions is — over the coming years from 1974 through to the early ‘80s, how did you persuade the republican movement, including extremely seniorfigures like martin mcguinness who had been an ira commander at the very top, how did you persuade all these people to trust you? well, i settled down in a little house in a state on the waterside. staunch republican. and they came to me and wanted my discharge papers etc, just to make sure that i was really out of th

next year, 2020, it's go army, beat navy. that will be after eric graduates and i'll go back to supporting army. when eric started at the naval academy, navy had a 14-year winning streak. before then, i was a very strong army fan. so i had been suffering for 14 years! now with eric at the academy, the army has won three years in a row. so i've been rooting for the losing team for 17 years now! >> it's like, please just win! i don't want to lose another game. the feeling of being able to beat army at the end of the year, finish out, probably be the happiest moment of my life. >> coy wire will be in philadelphia next week for the 120th edition of the army/navy game. >>> we have to share you with a moment from "saturday night live." >> last night they spoofed president trump's appearance at the nato summit this week. here it is. >> did you hear him talk about climate change? he has a date. he said we need stronger toilets! he is like dumber than boris! >> he is! he is! he is dumber than me! ha ha ha! >> quick, quick. wait. make

imagine taking an army. they talk about sherman in carolina, took an army from louisiana, 160 miles from louisiana and crossed the river, all that area was flooded. entire towns were underwater and he gets that army down there and across the river and 5 battles in a month, boxes into vicksburg, wins what churchill called the most important battle of the civil war, defeats jackson and after these two assaults, i don't want to take anymore casualties. not actually a verse, when you have to lose men you have to lose men but we will do it anyway we can to win and that is what strikes me about all these mistakes, stubborn resolve and had the confidence of his men and he is one of them. there was a story about being so reticent in the camp, a different kind of guy. >> you mention the battle of champion hill on may 16th, you state categorically. and the decisive battle of the war, strategically more battles on the eastern theater. you get a lot of agreement in this room on this point, that sort of moment after the

a former officer in the national abberation army he spent years working his way to the top of the army. he forged not jerry's war of independence against the french and was considered a hero in this country. as a close ally to them president beautifully in 2004 he became chief of staff of the army and 2013 vice minister of defense. in february this year and the sudden wave of protests algerians demanded the entire government step down. his loyalty to boot flicka had come to an end and he joined the calls from protests as for the president to resign but many algerians turned their anger on tickets. obviously it is part of the establishment because of different positions in the military it's only recently that some of the protesters well calling for him to go because as far as they were concerned he didn't all they. did not live up to expectations they expected all they wanted a more open democratic. some protesters are rejecting a 3 day mourning and a calling for real democracy and an end to the military state. now millions of people around the world are of course celebrating christmas

how the mexican army led by santa ana responded. >> the fight begins. you know in the early 1830s, texas was happy to be independent state of mexico. he immediately shelved liberty. annexation to the u.s. was not in the card. president andrew jackson and former president thomas jefferson was convinced that texas came along with the louisana purchase. these guys were on their own. they were ready to fight early on too, they had nothing but success. what do you think the truth is? was texas in the louisana purchase? >> it's a great question. the argument is, it could have been part of the louisana purchase. it became debated for what is clear anybody served under andrew jackson, looked up to jackson and even people that challenged him and criticized jackson. they felt that texas eventually would belong to the united states and many of them felt that it already should be part of the u.s. because of the purchase. >> mexico was just getting on their feet. americans didn't want to fight another war? >> america was trying not to fight another war. we did win t

we concentrate our army, we can defeat the army. what most battlefield generals try to do was put the concentration in place. but grant and lincoln saw a concentration in time spread over a broad front, so not physically concentrated, but concentrated at the same moment puts the enemy in a position where they have to choose where they respond. both men saw that and saw in the other, which is interesting. john: this is what i think is so great, too. lincoln basically says to grant, they talk and know they generally agree. he says i know you will do the right thing so i don't really care to know the specifics. just do it. basically says win this war for me. this is what grant basically does. he pressures, pressures. you look at the virginia campaign. what normally happened with lincoln's other generals is they would attack into virginia and fight somebody, usually robert e. lee, and get defeated and then they would turn tail and go back to washington. grant does not do that. he keeps moving forward. some people say he is nothing but a
