he'll take breckenridge, basically, to build this reserve on. he's the most inexperienced corps commander, but beauregard picks him to command the reserve that's going to cover the rear of the confederate to fall back. and not because breckenridge has great tactical skill, it's because he has a whole organization to mount what is going to be a very difficult mission, and that constitutes a suitable rear guard. and the battle terminates with a successful withdrawal from confederate forces. breckenridge spends the night basically, in the position the confederates hailed on april 5th when the battle began, and the next morning he'll slowly begin to retire towards mickey's, which is a road junction eight miles to the south and west where the confederates had planned their assembly for the battle of shiloh. beauregard will arrive that evening of the 7th and actually get back. there he will try to constitute a ready reserve because he's got this torn, bleeding army that is now moving back to the vicinity of coren. most of the confederate troops are ab

stacked up, and at the same time, a sixth comes into play in support as part of the revev from breckenridge. it's to booze brigade. there's six federal confederate brigades locked up in combat with sherman's division supported just by brigade from mcclernand. and you think what the heck reverses the scene here? why does sherman lose shiloh church? because he seemingly has complete control tactically. well, the answer is the absence of benjamin mayberry prentiss division and johnston having now overrun that position at 9:00. between 9:00 when bushrod johnson and robert russell attack, and 10:00, those five brigades that johnston releases to go north by west slam into sherman's left flank, collide into the remainder of mcclernand's division into the rear, and that's what turns sherman off this ridge and it turns him off it very fast. he's unable to hold his position. now that he has this huge mass of force in front of him and a respectively same sized force now maneuvering astride his left flank, sherman has tracked off shiloh church's position like a wall net and his camps are entered after

and stacked up in columns behind them were the other corps of the army, one by pope, one by breckenridge. nearly 44,000 men. johnston had achieved his surprise, although it would be federal reconnaissance that brings on the battle of shiloh because a brigade commander in grant's army violated orders and took initiative to send out a force. but it will take the confederate forces in front of us the better part of two hours to bring the forward brigades to bear against the main union camps on the south side of grant's large encampment. and that would be the divisions of sherman and benjamin prentiss. so part of the problems the confederates were running into was this engagement consumes about an hour. it will be an hour before hardy's troops are commanded to move forward after the skirmish begins. so powell and hardcastle are banging away at one another in sporadic firing for nearly an hour before the main line under hardy's command steps forward. when it does, powell quickly realizes this is big-time. he could just sit there and count muskets, count flags and realize he is face mortgage t

there is another democratic nominee, breckenridge. and then a whole other party forms. when you have the november election, there are four candidates in the field and lincoln wins with less than 40% of the vote. if i had to guess, i would say if you hadn't had the raid, probably douglas would have become president who was a northerner who was very conciliatory towards the south, and this whole war would have been deferred for at least another four years. and who knows. i mean, then any number of other scenarios could have unfolded. so that's just a guess. i mean, but it's a significant -- >> it's more than significant, and it's so compelling. because that, of course, you just unrolled that a little bit further, and suddenly you don't have an emancipation proclamation. you don't have, you know -- exactly. what we're talking about here is so fascinating. >> you have no hallowed grounds. >> we would have no hallowed grounds! >> or different hallowed grounds. >> or different. we'd be in a different country. we would be in a literally different country. so in that vein, and
