so can see in two cases, both in fredericksburg or fredericksburg in 1862, you have general really controlling the ebb and flow liquor rations at the top. that's pretty. most of the time the decision about rations passed down the chain of command. so the implementation varies lot by who's in charge. so if a colonel or a major in your chain of command is a teetotal, you're probably not getting any rations. and other times your company officer might have the authority to ladling out whiskey. and so basically what this means is you have a lot of low ranking officers making decisions about what constitutes exposure and what constitutes fatigue. so when men had to march for, there are plenty of commanding officers who thought that a ration of whiskey would stimulate them, so to speak, for the journey. this doesn't work that well. there in plenty of cases whiskey and other forms of liquor are responsible. a lot of straggling, perhaps the most infamous instance of not working well are the whiskey related problems that occurred during burnside's mud march. again, this is shortly after the battle of fr

i have visited fredericksburg. so. but i have a question for you. number one, from what i learned there, he was heavily pressured by his family to go into the family business, which was the hotel business. of course, you know. and how much did that affect him? but i another question on a more personal level is standing in that huge courtyard in the middle of that museum and seeing all those names and realizing that he said anybody, no matter. what their rank that served with them should have their name there. i found that very moving. yeah. nimitz was i think nimitz genuinely carried it wasn't just a pr or self-promotional notion. he really felt they were all on a team. and the best example of that is probably not even at fredericksburg, which is moving enough. but if you visit the san bruno cemetery near francisco, in fact, quite san francisco airport, nimitz, they had a place save for him. arlington national cemetery. they were going to put up a monument and been no, no, no, i want to be buried with the men i served with. and when his subordinates

she fled fredericksburg for washington, d.c., where she declared publicly that she was going to fileor divorce over his inability to quit the morphine. in a rare letter describing opiate addiction. from her perspective, from the perspective of addictive veteran's wife fanny wrote that john quote will beg and implore not to do this. but i must. i for i can bear neither for myself or our children. this life any longer. and so ultimately, the family the goodrich family stepped in to talk. fanny down from the ledge, but that raised the question what to do with with john goldrick, this addicted civil war veterans, families that had the means financially typically opted for what was called home care. again, because they're trying keep this addiction secret. and so for months, the war took john out into the countryside of fredericksburg to his brother's farmhouse, and literally locked him in a room in the dark to force him to detox turkey. and they hired nurses and even armed guards to keep him there. and keep others from, you know, following the sounds to to hear what was going on in the h

and he has in mind a repeat of fredericksburg essentially. so he proposes this to lee not once, but many times and lee rejects his advice. longstreet is hurt by the fact that lee rejects his advice, and this is all a matter record so and we'll come to origins of the scapegoating of longstreet. but let me just make a few more observations. so longstreet's hurt that lee waves off waves off his advice famously again. and longstreet's critics will make great deal of this. the lee's attack on the second day is delayed. it doesn't happen when lee wants it to, but much later in the afternoon or when it might have happened. ideally so, longstreet will be charged by his critics. the war with having having tarried having been slow and and and and even some critics will charge defiant having disregarded lee's orders and even some critics will charge having sabotaged that on the second day. similarly, he'll be accused of not having fought with with vigor and purpose in in in ordering pickett's charge on the third day. so a debate has ensued. endless amou

>> reporter: >> so, chris, we are outside of fredericksburg, in rico county earlier and we're headed up to fairfax later today. but one thing we've heard everywhere we've been is the impact this open primary here in virginia is having on the potential success of haley. it's an open primary. that means voters can walk in, pick which they want to vote for. republican or democrat. they don't have to be registered. this is important for a few reasons. first, it's because of the anger and frustration we're hearing from voters about the democratic party and about joe biden right now. voters we talk so say they are not having their concerns listened to. that's what they believe. especially as it relates to immigration and as it relates to the economy. the other thing we're hearing is the idea that democrats can simply vote for haley in the republican primary. so it's not even as much a throw haley vote as it is an anti trump vote. here's what one voter had to say. >> i'm not sure. i'm not sure. i don't know what to do. i'm hoping that somehow it works out that nikki gets the nomination. i d

it's the city of fredericksburg. again 0.3% of the state population. so, but if you're nikki haley, you're trying it's a suburban area. you're trying to see there and you see some other study, roanoke, which is a city area here. this is roanoke city in the city of roanoke, 170 763, very, very early returns, but if you're if you're, if you're at home and you're thinking is trump just going to march or is nikki haley going to find at least one or 23 more places, five more places to put up a fight. this is one of the potentials we'll watch as the results come in. trump has weaknesses in the suburbs. trump has giant strengths in the so many rural counties here in virginia. so if you're sitting at home saying is to republican race over tonight vermont and virginia will give us very early clues on the east coast. very interesting stuff. let's go now to kristen holmes, who is in palm beach, florida at the mar-a-lago resort where the former president, mr. is following tonight's results, kristen? polls obviously just closed in virginia minutes ago. how does the
