attacks are bloody. they don't really achieve very much. in january of 1968, this offensive really kicks off. they use about 80,000 troops. they attack 36 of 44 provincial capitals, 64 of the 242 district capitals. again, it's all over the country. most of the attackers are vc. 2500 people. and there's several thousand others that will go missing. and this has an interesting effect on morale. it encourages the south to fight harder. in may of 1968, you'll see a new phase of communist attack. and there are other attacks in august. the final phase of tet is in mid-february of 1968, this lasts for three weeks. and all of this is extremely bloody for the north. and for the communist forces here. tactically and operationally, tet is an abject failure. the north suffers enormous casualties. you see it on the slide here. the vc is just decimated by this. and they're no longer able to in south vietnam, strategically, it's a great success because in some ways it shatters american morale and certainly undermines it. they had no idea it would have tha

bloody shiloh, to borrow his book title was more bloody than the casualty figures that have been accepted, 23,746. i prefer particularly to the number of lives that were lost in the great clash. on average, about 15% of the men wounded in civil war engagements died as a result of their wounds. this factor alone would significantly raise the number of deaths resulting from shiloh, making a total of almost 6,000 dead. furthermore, general grant wrote in his memoirs that by actual count, more con federal dead were buried in front of sherman's and mcclarn divisions alone than the total number of dead acknowledged by the con federals for their entire army. grant's assessment is complimented by the most recent scholarship relative to the areas of the heaviest troop concentrations, the most intense fighting and the burial sights on the battleground. by any standards, shiloh was an awful battle in an awful war, the bloodiest clash to that day. a terrible preview of battles yet to come. for the first time in the conflict, men on both sides came to envision a measure of the war's eventual cost in s

his name and his visage already tied inextricably to america's peculiar and now bloody struggle over slavery and freedom in the world's model republic destroying itself by 1862. in this year of 1862, as the civil war grinds on in its terrible path from a conflict of limited aims, southern political independence and the preservation of a social order and an economic system as it is in the south on one side and the preservation of a national union, an intact united states on the other. as those limited war aims are being transformed all around us, as the scale and purpose of the war were undergoing a revolution to determine whether racial slavery will survive this war or become, in great part, the reason one side or the other may win or lose this struggle. no american in reality or symbolically looms more important than the most famous fugitive slave in the world, frederick douglass. a little more on his background. he was the son of harriet bailey. and in all likelihood, her white master, although we don't know for sure and he never knew. he came into the world in probably the cabin o

following the extremely bloody battle at glendale on the 30th which confederate staff officer alexander said this was our opportunity to destroy the army. but as bob crick reminded us, it was not really a good dayall jat to play and decided not to. the union general, mcclellan, after glendale, sent this message to the war department. notice the tone. i shall do my best to save the army. but we know that well before the battles of glendale and malverne hill, george mcclellan's conception of how victory could be won was badly shaken. in this larger context our noted historian once again provides his insights into the character of this general who was actually just too closely wedded to his preconceived notions of how war should be fought. in a chapter with a marvelous title the historian writes, the failure of mcclellan's peninsula campaign was not alone a military failure. it represented also the downfall of the limited war for limited ends that mcclellan favored. from now on the north would fight not to preserve the old union but to destroy it and build a new one on its ashes. a concept

there were suddenly a large number of people in relatively small communities with very severe, bloody, diarrheal illness. and when these people went to the health care providers, the health care providers took specimens, tested them for the bugs that they knew caused that type of bloody diarrhea and came up with nothing. they turned first to the local, then to the state public health department, and when that didn't turn up any answers, the state asked the cdc for assistance. and so in circumstances where people can't come up with the causative agent, those specimens can then come into our laboratories, and we can run tests for a variety of different things that are both known and unknown. and that's what we did in that particular situation. d one of the things that we noticed is that we found that there were unusual e. coli in several of the specimens that were submitted to us from both oregon and from michigan. now, everyone normally has e. coli in their g.i. tract. it's a normal inhabitant, and you need it to break down certain foodstuffs to be able to absorb them, and this was not
