custer finally gives up. he leaves his men and rides hundreds of miles to see his wife so he can at least save his marriage and he does. but he gets court-martialed. on a number of charges he gets convicted. it's a very interesting moment because now we see custer is no longer the hero. after the civil war, he is not a leader so much as a manager. a vast percentage of the officers who are commissioned in 1865 in the regular army continue. a huge percentage of all the officers between 1865-1898 are commissioned within two years of the civil war. this is an army that is subtly shrinking, that has very little pitched combat. the enlisted man are getting paid terribly. they are deserting in double digits every year. it requires real management and personnel skills, which custer does not have. at the same time, he wants attention, he dressed in costume. he has fans, but the army as an institution sees him as a loose cannon. that's an ongoing theme in his life after the civil war. real problems with the way the ins

again, luck, timing, something that custer himself called custer luck came to his aid. he has got merit that key to his rise is who he knows and who likes him. when he is with pleasanton, he misses out on the chancellorsville campaign, but he does take part in the fighting that leads up to and invasion of the north in 1863. he takes part in the fighting at all the in which pleasant tea's order to break through the pleasanton'sn -- order to go through the calvary screen and find out what he is up to. combatgage in this close which typifies most of the calvary on calvary fighting in the civil war. again, when they are mounted they are able to close quickly, they engage in close range contact, and this brings up something else about custer. he is himself a fighter and very talented one. at a time when of course long-range must -- long-range rivals, muskets, we are not seeing one style of warfare yet but it is bringing to the forefront firepower and riding the horse soldiers to fight more on foot. firepower is dominating the battlefield, but when they are fighting against o

while they are unloading these trains, they are surprised by general custer's cavalry, who captures the supply trains and some of the men. some of them escape and start heading back towards the courthouse village, where the main army is. when they are in this area, where the artillery troops are, the federal army has caught up to them. this was known as the battle of appomattox station. the only battle in the civil war fought between federal cavalry units and confederate artillery units. no infantrymen involved. the federal cavalry can overrun artillery positions quickly. so they are all retreating to the appomattox courthouse village. the next morning, lee sends more troops to be able to take the trains. he believes that his infantrymen and the troops that he has can overtake a cavalry unit in the area and get back the supply trains. at 7:30 in the morning, another battle begins in the area when lee discovers that the general and his army have arrived overnight with plenty of federal reinforcements. they have effectively cut off lee's approach to the supply trains. the battle lasts unt

escalations in the valley -- they did reach the point of retaliatory hanging in the valley between custer and mosby, but the question about restraint comes in because they didn't hold back from that on both sides. >> mosby, as i mentioned in passing that mosby is the one exception. it's mosby himself, not his men that are the exception. mosby is the exception, but very quickly then, and there's the correspondence that goes back and forth, multiple correspondence, multiple letters in a single day among the union high command about how should we deal with mosby. at one point, troops are being sent to go hunt him down. this is april 10, april 11. long story short, there are two occasions in which he meets with union officials to talk about surrendering his command. ultimately, he decides not to your it unable 21st at salem, now marshall, virginia, he will disband his rangers. that same day, about 200 of them arrived in winchester to turn themselves in, so they go immediately. some of them had gone before. he had told them about the surrender terms, and if you had come in on april 19, april 1

and bill custer who analyzes health policy at georgia tech estimates 700,000 georgians, we're talking about just georgians here, would lose coverage over the next decade. but there's another problem. while premiums would drop for some people, and i referred to that with mr. ossoff, others could become uninsured by just being priced out. the c.b.o. said over time it would become more difficult for less healthy people, including people with pre-existing medical conditions in states that get waivers, to purchase insurance, because the premiums would go up so sharply. so that leads to the question we actually got from someone in our audience. this person asked, how are you going to make sure my son with a pre-existing congenital condition would be able to , afford insurance as he turns 26 and ages out of the coverage he has through me? ms. handel: first of all, the status quo on obamacare is unacceptable. this is a system that is collapsing in on itself. we talk about skyrocketing premiums and what might happen post the repeal and replace. ladies and gentlemen, premiums are already pricin
