men were present at the battle of shiloh in never really forgave grant for the battle of shiloh. interestingly enough he would write in later years to fellow veterans, you and i can never forget the battle of shiloh we, because it was this bloody, awful conflict. many people blamed grant for it and not foreseeing that the rebels would leave their positions, ambush the union at pittsburg, landing. and i think they at best for enemies. garfield did lot of things for grant. he investigated grant's allegations of financial misconduct by president grant, and he ends up giving grant pretty much a free pass. and then later on, as grant's administration starts to be distinguished by these corrupt scandals, these these abuses of the patronage, various other things garfield gives up on him, and he has this great line where he just describes grant as being this downright individual. he talks about being next to president grant at a dinner and apparently grant insisted on asking him grant. grant said, don't like dogs and i don't like eating food most other people like. and then apparently pr

shiloh was looking, did you think you were here?another office, that i go everywhere with it, or what? guys, today it won’t work out, we have an event in the closets in the table, i checked, no, i saw that no, i’ll go straight to you, who could come into your office, or anyone, sonya came in, looked, well in general, we don’t close the office, because you never know what someone needs, so here it is, where you found it, in the safe, it wasn’t there. the carriage has arrived, master, we're waiting for you, oh, it won't be long before we stop by. berries need to be picked during free time from work, the next day after the disappearance they didn’t find anyone, and you know that kozlov today they found two children in the forest who had disappeared from school, the forest is big, of course, listen, this is stupidity, just like that without a system walk through the forest, it needs to be divided into sectors and combed all over, we always walk like this , we always find, if a person is in the forest, it ’s their own forest, that’s how

he doesn't have a single victory, actually, since shiloh. and there's a lot of criticism of grant at this. and miraculously, those waters porter said to him all we have to do is wait. like noah for the water. go down and we can march the army down. and i'll take the gunboats down, pick you up and take you below vicksburg. and that's how it would work. and it did. and you write also about him being such a master of siege operations. tell us about that. well, you know, he won a couple of big sieges. he petersburg, richmond, vicksburg. chattanooga. he lifted a siege. he was besieged. and again, i think it really was prior planning ability to not just work with the navy, but work with other armies in chattanooga, he worked with three other armies, george thomas, his army, the cumberland. he had booker out there. he brought in sherman from vicksburg, and he managed to meld them into a cohesive outfit. and i think lincoln really had his eye on grant and he had already won vicksburg. but don't forget, they exchanged one letter during the vicksburg

the reputation of grant drinking too much came from and it started to baby and on a large scale after shiloh where historians pretty much agree there's no evidence that grant drank too much while the heavy casualties have been because of that. i think the reason being very though not not doing justice to the issue. i know but very concisely one of the things that one observation that precludes the conclusion. i think that was an alcoholic was the last 20 years of his life including the period when he was most intensely in the public eye between 1865 and his death in 1885. during that entire period there are two occasions where either accounts out there suggesting that grant drank too much. one in 1866. gideon wells, secretary of the navy who hates grant's, suggests that grant was a drinking too much during andrew johnson around the circle, although johnson himself denied that grant was drinking too. and then there was another allegation in 1868 and otherwise. you see, grant's not completely abstaining from the bottle, but you see him in moderation. alcohol flowed in large quantities, and the

he was he was right there at the tail end of the battle of shiloh in, april of 1862, and then he was very much involved as a staff officer at the battle of chickamauga in september of 1863. the last year or so of his his service. he, in fact, was a u.s. congressman elect. in addition to being a brigadier general. and so he he eventually then decided kind of had an internal struggle with himself about should he stay in the army or should he go to congress? and at one point when he was in washington, he actually got an audience with abraham lincoln and and lincoln implored him to go to congress because, you know, he had all the generals he could handle, but he needed more reliable republican votes in congress. so garfield then did go to congress at the end of 1863, stayed in the house of representatives until he was elected president. tell us a little bit more about his congressional service. so he was he was a republican, elected to congress. was he a unequivocal supporter of lincoln when he served in congress and where did he stand eventually on reconstruction and the reconstruction

there is an opinion that it’s time for you to take over the homicide department, you’ll disperse the shiloh department, i understand, yeah, and don’t worry, your share in the thefts will remain with you, the shilohs won’t give in, his gopniks won’t either , jackson, are you afraid, or do you think shilov will take revenge on you? for taking his place, but i’ll find a reliable person to steal, and you’re a breakout, good springboard, you want to become a general, gushchenko, when to start, tomorrow, i’ve agreed on everything with the css. don't worry, you'll pay it off later, go there, yeah, we kind of agreed. we agreed correctly, i was naughty by him, let’s move away, put away the shovels, uh-huh, roma, children are obliged in life. “i remember this, take this clown, although it would be right to bury him, it won’t return your money, but i will remember the service, come on, we were filming here, maybe it will be useful to you, yes, tell this, next time i won’t let go, the next one there won't be times"? well, happy birthday, vadim eduardovich. not everyone is so lucky, yes, to whom am i ob

and the shiloh ranch trappers, who was a villain, the original western by own worcester of 1902, is onef the family in the virginia converging. in this case is the foreman on the ranch. from the right, we see the big which has a matriarch in charge of the family. but the first western of course as you probably know, was in 1903. it was the great train robbery. it's 11 minutes so you can watch it for free on youtube. and this these two posters probably say summarize the whole thing in our archetypical movies. of course, this is patrick just mentioned or shane, which is the classic western, the outsider coming into town and well, not into town in this case, coming into the community and saving it from the villain who is running off of their ranches and homesteads and high noon shows. the western can be adapted to political purposes. it's widely thought of as a metaphor for where the individual gets no help at all in trying to hunt down the bad boss. my favorite analyst is the one that patrick just cited and that's richard slotkin with three. these are not books. you can read in an evening

when i was coming up in sacramento at shiloh baptist church working with the black panther party, i thought i was going to be the next willie mays. you see my life was just a failure. that's all right. try again, fail again, fail better. my life is a fail better situation. we would go see willie mays play in san francisco, candlestick with my daddy and my mom. my mom would said, i will never be one half of the human being she was, and she comes from texas. juneteenth, we celebrated juneteenth every summer of my conscious life because texas celebrated juneteenth every year . but they told us the truth about juneteenth. we knew it wasn't no speech given by some general because the black folks hadn't heard the word. quit lying about the history. we know that slavery was abolished in mexico in 1829 by a black president whose name was vicente guerrero. he was executed a few months later because the anglo elites said no black man should have that kind of power, no black man ought to be empowering black people in that way. in 1820 nine, california was mexico. 1846, nothing but a land grab in a pow
