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

it's the partnership that won shiloh. it's the partnership that wins, particularly when you think about the responsible assignments that sherman is given in the campaign particularly when grant takes the bulk of the army to the south of the city and then covering covering grant's rear and jackson, you know, so to me, that's you see that evolution. then it goes right up through chattanooga, although you can quibble with sherman as a tactician there's no question that grant is becoming and more reliant on him as his right arm. and so to me, that's that evolution of that partnership sets stage for them. winning the war in 1864 and 1865. i do have a series answer. okay, i know. hard to believe. i think agencies is really interesting because robert e lee has to learn to command differently. if we think about command relationship. sure. and he learns this obviously at gettysburg when he issues a discretion order that stonewall jackson would have out. and richard, you will absolutely not. so robert e lee in, the fact that, you k

sidney johnston said prior to shiloh now. so this is dangerous supply issues.al issues but it is successful grant actually gets across the river. brownsburg there is opposition. in fact the confederates don't meet him until near port. gibson itself. now the reason for this are many diverse issues that grant has going on of frederick steele's entire division is gone up to up the river to greenville and operating along the deer creek area. sherman himself has going back to chickasaw bow out there where he had been defeated several months ago. and he's showing himself there, you know, with the gunboats and the army and so on, to make the confederates think going to land there. the biggest diversion, of course garrison's raid that rod slammed through the whole part of mississippi and causes just all kind of ruckus takes pemberton's views you know grant where they should have been and his attention is solely on owen grierson almost. in fact, with all this going on, so many different diversions and freight and everything, all of them to the northeast of vicksburg, wh

you know, we hear a lot about the grant sherman relationship going back to shiloh. everybody says it starts at shiloh, probably starts little bit before that when grant is going after 14 hearing fort donelson, sherman is actually back at paducah funneling goods and supplies cars and man up to grant and grant is very appreciative of what is doing, even though sherman outranks grant at that point, you know. but sherman is willing to put that aside and to to help grant. so the friendship probably goes back to that. and so when we get to this point, you know grant i think has figured out sherman and he knows that sherman is just the bombastic type and all probably know people like this you know sherman is the type he walked in that room he had come that door mouth first and he's going to talk and you know, breed everybody and be the social grant comes in that door. he's going hunt the first corner he can go go get it so different different ways. but grant knows sherman by this point. and so when sherman flies with one of these bombastic this is not to work, this is dumb

in fact after shiloh the support soon declined quite dramatically.d until the end of the war. me professor richard nelson curran, and lincoln biographer, wrote a landmark book in 1992 that was a little known as the time. he found that 100,000 residents of the confederate states, those succeeding states, volunteered to serve in the union army. before these men have been ignored, they're missing from almost every mainstream history book about the civil war. 3000 of those 100,000 white union soldiers from the south were from north alabama. my family's ancestral counties in the alabama hills. 22 hill counties of alabama voted against secession. and when it happened, they refused to serve the confederacy for two reasons. one, they lived on small mountain farms and could not afford to buy slaves. and to, they believe that they believed in the principal lay down in 1840 by their near neighbor, andrew jackson, that the union was too sacred to be split up over the issue of slavery. so in 1862 when union troops occupied -- huntsville, alabama, hundreds and the

reverend cook from shiloh baptist church -- the blood was real blood at the cross. it was not kool-aid. i'm talking about serious, deep love. and one of our problems these days, not just on the black side of town, and the whole country, we've got the younger generation that hasn't been loved right. hasn't been cared for right. hasn't been attended to write. hasn't been focused on. i am the exact opposite. i am a love child. then when you are a love child, it means, in fact, that you are not afraid. for to put it in the knowledge of the young brothers and sisters, that you have been de- niggerized. when you niggerize the great african people, you try to teach them they are less beautiful, less intelligent, you keep them scared and intimidated and afraid of the time so they laugh when it ain't funny and scratching when it don't it and put it on the mask and some of navigated a white man's drink so they can get like approval of the white patch on the bet that make them feel good about themselves and don't realize that it's empty and shallow and hollow if it's not groun

he ends up at shiloh. he's in the hornet's nest for much of the fighting. and then after the battle, when albert sidney johnston dies of his wounds appear gustav to tommy beauregard and you always do have to say all four names takes over command of the army and then decides he needs to take a little mental health day and he goes to a spa and he doesn't ask jefferson davis's permission. davis doesn't like this, he says, is out. braxton's in. so bragg takes command of the army of tennessee in. 1862, and from there he has to kind of form it into an army that will basically become the largest army in the western theater. bragg he had he had very little more than his relationship with jefferson davis to recommend him for this job, especially over other prominent confederate officers who were available for the post, including joseph johnston, who had been wounded at seven pines by the time and was available. he was waiting for reassignment to be designated to go back up to the majors. braggs in 1837, west point graduate, he graduated quite high in his class. that

reverend willie pete cook of shiloh baptist church in those way with pastors, that we have too many ceos but we won't go into that right now. see, the blood with real blood of the cross, not those who made stuff and go to become part and parcel of some market way of life. talking about serious love. and one of our problems these days, , not just on the black se of the town, in the whole country, got a younger generation hasn't been loved right. hasn't been cared for right. hasn't been attended to write. hasn't been focused on. i am the exact opposite. i am a love child. and when you are a love child, it means in fact, that you are not afraid. or to put in the language of the young brothers and sisters, that you have been -- so when you're -- great dignified african people, you try to teach and that they are less more, less beautiful, less intelligent and then keep them scared and intimidated and afraid all the time so they laugh when it ain't funny and scratching when it don't it and put it on the mask and some of negotiated navigated a white man's drink so they can get like approval of

veasey: i rise today to celebrate shiloh missionary baptist's00th anniversary. for over 1 hucialtion years on the north side of the stockyards in fort worth, this has a pillar of the community where all can come and worship and gather in. 1902, a dedicated christian woman organized the church's first sunday school. they were held in the backyard of mr. and mrs. john kennedy on the southwest corner of 24th and ross and for years, this church has been such a pivotal part of the fort worth community. they have organized is many different events an activities that benefit the north side and all of forth, from 1958 until 2015, they were under the direction of the venerable and late albert e.chu and now under the direction of craig pullman and they can -- they continue to do great things. again, shiloh, congratulations on 120 years and here's wishing you a great 120 more. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from tennessee seek recognition? >> thank you, mr. speaker. i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute and revise and ext

he was at the battle of shiloh. he caught an illness so severely he had to go back home to exeter, new hampshire to recover with his parents. once he recovered, he got a desk job, basically, with the united states government in the revenue service. he found his way to knoxville, tennessee in 1864, shortly after admiral burnside had liberated this city in the fall of 1863. there knoxville he laid down his roots, got into the grocery business, and he made fast friends in masonry. he gathered up a network of gentlemen just like himself. now, we fast-forward to 1867, a transformative event in knoxville history. a transformative event along the entire east tennessee river valley. when the houston river flooded. we know it as tennessee river in knoxville, tennessee, but it was the houston river down at that time passed knoxville. that designation was not changed in the general assembly until the late 1890s or something like that, where it becomes the tennessee river just north of the city. here is an image of the flood of

in the civil war, as it exists in about 10% of the campuses, the left does not want to talk about shiloh or chancellor bell or grant ortn sherman or the union cause that's considere d militarysidere history or traditional history. >> so nobody knows anythin g about the civil war. >> nikki haley was trying civik, inartfullys trying the idea of freedom. and she said freedom. and that's what slavery was.what it was the freedom of everybody in the united states. her only sin was she didn't say it explicitly, but i think that's what she meant. all the other issues, internal improvements, tariffy icitlyl ty of new states, nullification, they all had to do with slavery and freedom as slavery. i mean, that's what freedom wa s mean, that's what freedom wa about to it, to free. alwagotcha questione. . but it's always asymmetrical, keli, because, i mean, joe biden, he tweeted in, it's about slavery. and you think, well, wait a minute, joe, you ran in 2008 and 2007 that you said that barack obamakayleigh was the fid clean, articulate person to run for president. a wahow racist was that? you've said

although at one time he was expelled and then was allowed to come back on the staff of bragg at shiloh. he became inspector general on lee's staff. wounded at sailors creek, kept a diary of the war. and he died in 1937. but he was the oldest, surviving member of lee staff. he was interviewed by a south african, which is interesting. he his diary and papers are at the virginia historical society. charles marshall, born in warrenton. matt, you notice that these guys are all from virginia, right? he wrote most of lee's after action report. marshall delivered the dedication address for the monuments to lee and the monument to grant and new york city cousin of george c marshall and then walter taylor, born in 1838 and norfolk graduate of vmi. taylor is really the key guy. he's no ordinary staff officer, but he's really the aide de camp. throughout the war. lee was noted for his small, overworked staff, but taylor wrote all of the dispatches and orders for lee before him. personal reconnaissance. occasionally. he's the guy that promoted that transmitted the famous if practical order from lee
