the university of mississippi. gloria: and that almost did not happen. jim: but the issue there was body language. you may remember i tried my best to get mccain to look at obama and to address him directly. because they had negotiated a set of rules which made that possible. before you were not allowed to question each other, but this was a new deal and the debate commission was interested and i said i will make sure that gets done. i thought it would be terrific and mccain would not do it. finally mccain said, do you think he doesn't hear me? he got a little annoyed with my doing it and so i backed off. and quit doing it. the point had been made, and here again that was a negative. , and you don't have to use it as a source or as a pundit. but to others in their book believed that had a tremendous influence on the outcome of the election. because when that debate began, first they were neck and neck. a little advantage to mccain. obama took the lead in the polls after that and one reason for that people said he came over as , angry, fidgety, and rigid.

how about the army out in mississippi? they could rely on the united states navy going up and down the mississippi river, right? good, short, secure lines of supply. what about the army of the cumberland? the army of the cumberland's forward base is nashville. you can supply in through the cumberland river but the river can be very fickle, shall we say and there are times because of the shoals downstream of the city of nashville, you can't get steamers up as well as you can. the other option you have is the louisville nashville railroad and picks up the nashville and ch chattanooga railroad. everything you need is going to ride the rails. and they're going to ride that railroad. now, once you leave louisville, between louisville and nashville, at best you are going through neutral territory. even though kentucky has voted to remain loyal to the united states, it is at best neutral territory. and john hunt morgan had made a career at this point of cutting that railroad. as a matter of fact from july 1, 1862 to june 30th of

of course mississippi, alabama, louisiana, think of them on the map, the three of the new territory and states rising up along the gulf of mexico, along the gulf coast. and the american settlers swarming into territories and states like those three, needed and demanded, they said, a nearly bottomless supply of forced labor to cut sugar cane and to pick cotton. and it seemed they would take almost anyone to do that work, including children as young as ten-year-old cornelius sinclair. planters in the deep south may not have liked buying a small proportion, mack five percent, of their enslaved labor force from kidnappers, but to be honest, they had few other options. they'd been forced to look for sources within the united states to satisfy their labor needs ever since 1808, the year that lawmakers in washington had passed legislation that outlawed any further slave imports from overseas, from africa, from the caribbean or whenever it might be and that 1808 decision outlawing further legal participation in atlantic slavery proved to be a major turning point in the history of slavery in ame
