mcclellan got mad for advancing too far, possibly alerting the enemy. he said i desire you here after to act in strict conformity. this is his emphasis, i and not you are in command. in short, he accused the more aggressive grant of being s subordina subordinate. the dooj wamage was done. he explained that quote, itch not a general worth his salt. rosecrans is a fussy goose. this is the first of several bird metaphors that would haunt rosecrans for the rest of his life. any way, i'm keeping the audubon joke for the round table. the two men came up with a plan that called for an attack, a two pronged assault, which is very difficult for civil war. rosecrans had the harder part of it. he had to advance over pathless mountains in order to take the southern sort of in the rear on the flank to the south. rosecrans held up his part of the deal and taked on july 22nd leading to the confederate position. one noted that mcclellan sat there with indecision and did absolutely nothing. he did credit him for the ha handsome manner but little mack gave him credit for

mcclellan wrote, overwhelming physical force. mcly, of course, lived in cincinnati for decades although he was a philadelphian. when he advised lincoln of this, lincoln was prompted to bring him eastward as the new general of the army, ahead of the national army. conversely with the notable exception of those who premature pursued slave emancipation and whose generalship earned the president's trust. those who urged time were replaced. among them winfield scott. robert anderson, don carlos bull and, of course, mcclellan himself. all of them pro slavery democrats. unlike mcclellan, westerners would make good on such boths. in northern missouri in july '61, stephen herbert, a staunch republican wage add warfare. when his men learned that john mac afee was at his house in shelby county, he was arrested and required by general hurlbert to take transit in the hot sun. he says that hurlbut himself said he set him at it. still, it was admitted that it was doubtful any charges could be maintained against him. within two months of his rel

among them winfield scott, robert anderson, don carlos buell and of course mcclellan himself. all of them pro-slavery democrats. westerners would make good on such in their own region. in july 1861, stephen hurl laid what they had initiated a few months earlier in the western part of the state. he was arrested and required to dig trenches in the hot sun all day. a unionisted and he went on the say he told me he sat him at it. still it was admitted it was very doubtful any charge could be maintained against him. such outrageous will make more enemies than thousands of men can quell. within two months of his release, he joined the legislature and previsided over its succession. a u.s. congressman whose home was burned in september of 1861, would lead the u.s. house to the con f confedaracy. the commander, lieutenant colonel broke no criticism. perhaps i am responsible. if so, i have nothing to take back. our business down there was to put down the rebel colors and we commenced as soon as we saw where the work commenced. his flag came down and so did he. in august 1863, in respon

talk about it transparent democracy but what's more worrying is when the europhiles like a menu mcclellan come out and say this is a disaster he also said until we can make agreements among 28 there is no way i'm going to agree to any expansion which of course if you're north macedonia and and albania you're listening very closely for comments like that so it wasn't just the countries that sometimes feel like they're sidelined and those led by people like viktor orban who like to criticize the e.u. all of the leaders were frustrated and that is a very bad sign there wasn't anybody coming out talking about unity they were all talking about what are we going to do and it's really not clear what they're going to do to do yet print but there's a serious timeline on this now because on wednesday the european parliament is going to pick its president whether or not the european commission president has been chosen and some cattle days maybe in line for one of those 2 jobs or we will see you know used teri schultz in brussels doing double duty before dinner tonight gary as always thank you. pro-

that being mcclellan's ignominious performance. appomattox, as i already observed, effectively marks the end of the war. on april 10, 1865, secretary to the navy gideon welles mused about news about grant captured lee and his army the previous day. the tidings were spread over the country during the night, noted welles, and the nation seemed delirious with joy. the surrender of the great rebel captain and the most reliable army of the secessionists virtually terminated the rebellion. general lee, the rallying point for the south, noted a virginia woman in 1865, i have really lived on hope for four years, and now i'm entirely bewildered. a georgian agreed, the struggle longer seems to be the common cry, she noted after learning of appomattox, the poor wounded men go hobbling about the streets with despair on their faces. the "look" magazine to "harpers weekly's life," people with gray hair will understand that. the grand review of union forces that took place at the end of may, where the armies over two days marched on pennsylvania

failure and mcclellan's retreat at the moment of potential victory that convinced both lincoln and the congress that it's going to take a longer, harder war. it's going to put slavery on the table for the confederacy. once you do that, everything is on the table. you can't overemphasize how big a shift that is in july of 1862. and that flows from a single military event, because the world is going to help further confederates, militarily, even in places that don't matter, like where i grew up. yes, henry sibley wandered up the rio grande, and then he wandered back. [laughter] gary: that didn't change the course of the war. the seven days did. and all the bad news in the west, within the civil war context, the theater between the mississippi and the appalachians. if mississippi had fallen, as it should have, that would've ended the war. that would've been it. but it didn't. peter: you got your job at the western theater, 15 minutes in, i thought it would come in. gary: i love the western theater. i'm a westerner. -- it doesn't matter.

that they took an action sure they succeeded but if you look at the statements made by a man you mcclellan and chancellor merkel herself yesterday a manual clone came out and said it was a huge failure that that the credibility of the e.u. is being damaged by this process both mclennan merkel themselves said it doesn't look good that we're making these decisions bringing up names in a back room it's not transparent it's you know it's not the ideal way to give our citizens confidence in the decision making of the european union so it doesn't look good yes they had to take action tomorrow the european parliament is deciding its president and that put a lot of time pressure on these leaders they definitely wanted to have their decisions made by tomorrow to leave the names open for the european parliament to name their presidents tomorrow but i wouldn't say it's a proud day for any of them no matter what they say tonight and what about the image of the european union abroad here when people look at what is going on in the in-fighting we've seen in the squabbling in the just just the past coupl

they were not west point trained and that really alienated people like mcclellan and a lot of conservatives in the union that also didn't like the german-americans either. prof. thomson: one great place to look, if you want to see the perceptions, particularly german americans in the immediate aftermath of the war, look in the congressional records when it comes to the debate over who supported the franco-prussian war. you have got folks on one side saying that the french were our allies in the revolution and lafayette will roll over in his grave if we don't come to their aid and others are saying that the germans were the ones who helped us to win the war and what would it look like if we were to turn our backs on them? it's really something to quite -- to see that fairly heated debate. one of the largest supporters of the german-americans was charles sumner, who spent a sizable amount of time recuperating after the caning in the german states. an insane amount of german-american connections after the war, it could be its own book, it's rather quite something. prof. zimmerman: i remember w

started it on sunday but yeah it definitely was a day that's nobody is proud of you heard president mcclellan calling it an embarrassment and the portuguese prime minister came out and said everything went wrong and we're very frustrated so basically this agreement that chancellor merkel and president mccollum thought might work when they were speaking on the margins of the g. 20 in osaka came back and presented it to their counterparts and not so surprisingly everybody said no way are you 2 going to you know work out something and expect us all to just swallow it so basically no one agrees on who should be the president of the european commission it looked like timmermans the socialist candidate could get enough support but now the visa grant for countries the eastern european governments plus italy say that's completely unacceptable to them months of bever of course the candidate for the european people's party the largest political group says that he's not out yet and we can trace this back to the results of the european parliament where the largest 2 groups the center right and the center

withdrawn from is the best way to prevent iran from getting a nuclear weapon so that's what president mcclellan is trying to do he is trying to talk to iran into stopping its new initiatives to enrich more uranium they are still i'm told at a reversible level and the europeans would very much like to have tehran halted at this level to return to talks to try to deescalate the tension and to certainly stop iran from moving into even further and reassuring in their own about 4.5 percent right now whereas 20 percent would be the level at which they would actually be pursuing a nuclear weapon so there is time the europeans say but it's getting tight it's getting tight and what will happen if we continue to see iran violating the deal want you to listen to what the finnish foreign minister said today that of course you'll feel a little bit squeezed because we were the ones who were advocating for the deal because the nuclear deal then us we draw from the nuclear we do from the nuclear plant the it's a very difficult situation but of course if we get iran to behave we have somehow also tool to help t

mcclellan of arkansas, dennis of eastland mississippi, russell of georgia, et cetera.od case to make that he could not have functioned unless he did business with these chairman. but it's very difficult to see where he stops now as he's done an about-face on hyde amendment, crime bill, bussing. i can't think of a policy in the last 50 years more broadly disliked than forced bussing to achieve racial balance in schools. and now he's even apologizing for his opposition to that. it's astonishing. >> chris, i'm afraid eddie's head might fall off the rest of his body and i don't want that to happen. >> the only thing about tissue of bussing it was disliked because a lot of white people in this country did not want black kids to go school with them. so there was some black folk who did not to send their kids into dens of hatred. we keep talking about the bussing issue as if it didn't work because bussing, something inherent in the policy itself was wrong. what happened, what was clear, what happened in boston, what happened in pontiac, what happened all around the country is

soldiers, and they were also radical soldiers, and the radicalism, that really alienated people like mcclellan and halleck, and a lot of people in the union who did not like the german-americans, either. one great place to look, if you want to see the perceptions, particularly german-americans, look at the congressional records when it comes to the debate over who gave support to the franco-prussian war. thes on one side saying french were the allies in the and the others were saying the germans were the ones who helped us win the war, and what would it look like if we were to turn our backs on them. it is interesting to see that fairly heated debate, and one of the largest supporters is charles sumner, who spent a lot of time recuperating after the caning. he goes to europe. germansane amount of connections after the war could be its own book. prof. zimmerman: i remember when philip sheridan went and wrote interesting things. prof. schoen: as someone who is marriedprof. schoen: to an irish american, i feel like the irish might be getting the short shrift here.

mcclellan gets a lot of credit for using the things he does. lee gets credit for using infantry. but his artillery takes back burner in many ways. part of the reason why is that inconsistent quality. it's nearly impossible to make good fuses, to train well, or know how far your rounds are going to go when you shoot with low quality powder. and the powder isn't sufficient. remember i told you it was going to be 8 1/2 thousand pounds of powder just to be able to equip an army. the problem is in one engagement you're going to shoot out a field army's worth of that, almost 300,000 pounds. but 300,000 pounds is a lot to move. in all five years, the confederacy is only producing 3 million pounds. you've just shot off a 10th of everything you can produce in a single battle. and how long is it until the next set of powder gets in? how long do you have? the union can draw on multiple producers on a robust transportation network and if dupont doesn't have the powder, then hazard has the powder. if nay don't have the powder, oriental has the powder. with this robust unit of powders, the uni
