braxton bragg -- more about him in a minute. it were at john davis's elbow, insisting that johnson -- you know, if you took all the numbers and added them all, he has 150,000 men out there. he has no excuse to not be attacking sherman and driving him back to ohio. the men in the ranks, bragg insisted -- and he had commanded that army before, so he had some justification for saying what he did, that the men in the ranks were eager to fight, only if johnston would unleash them, and he would not do it. he would not strike a blow. davis could see that johnson had become had, as mary chestnut put in her diary, "the core around which all restless and halfhearted disappointed people concentrate." davis decided that johnson was a liability he could no longer afford. so on july 17, 1864, he sent a telegram to johnson, dismissing him from command and ordering him to turn his army over to john bell hood. so how do we assess joe johnson in this campaign, he himself argued, both at the time and later, in a very self-serving memoir, that his

if you shows up and tells bragg what to do, he is superseding bragg and command of that army -- in command from that army. finally he sends an order and says look. take 3000 men and go escue pemberton. so he goes off, and he says look, 3000 men are not going to do anything against grant's 40,000, 45,000 coming from the outhwest for jackson. the only way this will work as if i combined my forces with pemberton's forces. he sends pemberton in order that says a evacuate vicksburg. this is long before it is besieged. pemberton called the council board. what else would you do, and says i have orders to get out of vicksburg and join with johnston so that we can collectively join an ttack. this is before the battle of raymond, when it would have been possible. he said i do not want to do it, because i know jefferson davis wants me to hold vicksburg at all costs. the area is the key. we cannot let it go. so, he says no. i won't do it. but he says i can't just stay here because that is too passive. so what i will do is go out and fight sherman at the big black river. pemberton was doing what he kne

that there was collusion with bragg. seriously. the night before the battle of perryville, they had spent the night talking about old times because they were distant cousins, and this circulated through the army and it got back to washington that halleck -- there was a great series of gossip columns in washington among the telegrapher about what was going on in the army. they were writing tremendous columns about the collusion between buell and bragg and he was furious that this was circulating. yes? [indiscernible] > i just wondered why -- see he ciencies from buell that couldn't see in himself. [laughter] >> that's a great question. see the he deficiencies in buell that he in himself. i don't think he saw any deficiencies in himself. close, very good friends. this was very hard on mcclellan. one of the reasons he wanted buell to be successful, he didn't want halleck's star to rise in the west because halleck was maneuvering to be -- if halleck could be eclipsed by buell, buell wanted nothing but to be an army commander

well the parliament basically fought for the right to have a say over the final bragg's a deal it will have that say we're not entirely sure if it will be a simple yea or nay vote but it probably at least that's what people here in brussels think won't have that much effect because you would need a majority of parliamentarian's to disagree with that final bragg's a deal for now we don't see that happening it might change until then but you have to remember the alternative to any bragg's a deal when it stands in the end would be a hard bragg's it and that might be a lot worse than any deal that is the go she added in the next year all right next off and on the story for us tonight at that e.u. summit in brussels max thank you very much. here's some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world the us federal communications commission has voted to repeal landmark obama era net neutrality rules that barred internet service providers from blocking or slowing traffic the companies will now be able to charge more for faster speeds opponents of the move plan legal challe

how would you compare him to bragg? >> [laughter] >> well, you know, they are probably right about the same place at the bottom. it's interesting, because there was some rumor at the time that buell was so slow in his movements against bragg that there was movements against him, that a few nights before the battle of perryville, they have spent the night talking about old times because they were distant cousins. in edit this out of the book. was a great series of gossip columns in washington about what was going on in that army. tremendousriting columns about the collusion between buell and bragg. even if this wasn't going on, that this was circulating was outrageous. it is hard, for different reasons. yes? >> there was a warm and cordial relationship. . and then, lincoln removed buell. quickly can see that coming, but buell could not see that? >> a great question. why could mclaughlin see the deficiencies in -- why could mcclellan see it the deficiencies in buell he couldn't see in himself? one of the reasons he wanted

commission is ready to work on a second phase of bragg's that negotiations he added that the u.k. has committed to avoiding a hard border in ireland but said that there was still work to do as for theresa may she describes some agreement when it comes to citizens rights she said that e.u. citizens living in britain and british citizens living in the e.u. will continue as they do today for more let's bring in our brussels correspondent barbara vessel who has been watching this press conference she is standing by briber what do you make of what we just heard. it seems sorrow that the northern ireland problem was somehow postponed to the future because what series a may in fact said was that the future deal between the european union and the united kingdom and she hoped it would be so similar to what we have now all that it could satisfy demand so violent that means that the regulation within the u.k. would stay so close to that of the european union that a border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland would not have to be closed now that of course is a hope we don't ha

command at fort bragg. i went to the pentagon, where i served as a special forces force development officer at the pentagon developing future doctrine and material for army special operations. i retired and got a phd, and in early 2002, i went to afghanistan as an army contract historian with the army special operations command. i should mention that at the time i became the g3, i had transferred to special forces because, up until then special , forces had not been a branch. it had just been a specialty. so i took up my cross rifles as infantry put them on a special forces, and did that for the rest of my career. i went to afghanistan as an historian for the army special operations command. at fort leavenworth. the center had been created by general david petraeus and theral jim mattis, being current secretary of defense. i work there for four years until the center closed and then i retired. vietnam as an in infantry company commander, by then, had become a captain and airbornemmanded an company in german

so let's talk about some of the remaining challenges of bragg's it with our financial correspondent comma booze news dummy by frank comrade that e.u. deal with japan is something the u.k. will not profit from do you think it's an accident that was announced today and what does it mean for the use economy. i don't think this was on purpose you know. i don't think that the e.u. would be so short sighted and small minded to do that to make to create the timing or make the timing of this deal with japan so that the u.k. can get to feel that it's missing out it's just that trade deals like the one with japan also the other important trade deal between the european union and medical sort of the latin american common market which is currently being struck take a lot of time and they're both deals are just about to be ready to be signed of course they are important deals you just mentioned what the in-situ chief estimates how much germany might benefit from the trade agreement with japan. and of course it's something that people here in the financial center in germany germany and frankfurt are we

arrived as a breakthrough in bragg's that negotiations the e.u. and britain say they have reached an agreement that will allow them to progress to the next round of talks the announcement was made in brussels by u.k. prime minister to resign me and european commission president. this said it agreed on key issues like rights for e.u. citizens in the ukraine and guaranteeing no hard border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland on the move on to negotiations about future trade relations between the u.k. and the e.u. and we speak to our brussels beer chief in just a moment but first let's listen to what terrorism he had to say all the law and we will guarantee there will be no hard border and we will uphold the belfast agreement and in doing so we will continue to pursue the constitutional and economic integrity of the united kingdom. max often joins me for more unless the irish border issue almost led to the collapse of these talks so what led to this brics one what has changed. the big question we're all asking ourselves and rita is i

the european union meanwhile the european parliament in strasbourg is also debating the state of bragg's negotiations today and one of the key points of discord is the irish border. let's talk this through with our correspondent catherine martins who's standing by force in strasburg catherine the european parliament will be discussing the state of bragg's that negotiations today what are parliamentarians make of it all are they beginning to lose their patience . so that the marriage is not at its past at the european parliament because the deputies are not amused about the latest comments off secretary david davis qualifying the latest agreement reached and brussels as a statement often tend rather than a legally binding tax this was crucially for the european parliament because according to the bracks the carbon atom the hopes that this is undermining the necessary trust for upcoming talks and the second phase this is not an innocent detail because the european parliament has to give the final approval for a eventually at least treaty so there is no need to treat it if the european parl

bragg wants to push these people down to a box canyon in north georgia. he can trap them there, destroy them, or the very least, drive them back into alabama and across the tennessee river and bus, recapture chattanooga and that the union. on the morning of september 20 -- the confederates make little headway in the north, not until the breakthrough i mentioned, which happens in this area. dimension thomas gets the shredded -- for the coming horseshoe ridge, and issues the horseshoe ridge, and issues the he was worried about being cut off from chattanooga. this road we saw -- the third direct route to chattanooga. he ordered the general to he ordered the general to establish an artillery position. if the wrong button, sorry. this overlooks the main union defensive line. your him to establish -- he ordered him to position the light blue. of course the breakthrough didn't happen up north, it happens down south. down this way. ultimately, the purple line i drew, the arrows down, that's where the battle of horseshoe ridge ultimately happened. thomas had the p

this is the deputy news live from berlin a make or break day for braggs the talks british prime minister to resign may head to brussels to push for progress on the irish border and citizens' rights the e.u. says the talks on a future trade relationship all depend on a breakthrough today. also coming up this eleven year old girl is one of an unknown number of syrian child refugees who must work to help their families survive we have a special report from to stumble. and u.s. president donald trump weighs need decision that could set off a seismic reaction in the middle east whether to boot the u.s. embassy in israel to jerusalem could he calls the peace process to crash. kelly welcome to the program thanks for joining us u.k. prime minister to resign may has a day of crucial talks in brussels on britain's exit from the e.u. today it all comes down to ireland she is trying to break through the deadlock over how to handle trade and movement across the irish border post brags that the e.u. worries that our return to tight controls of the u.k.'s border in northern ireland could disrupt peace

a parliamentary democracy meaning that theresa may and her government don't have the final say in bragg's it has to be parliament that votes breaks that through now for theresa may who at the beginning if you believe it or not if you can think that far back she wasn't for braggs it but when she saw the book come through she said well i want to do the will of the people and she still consisting in pushing forward she's in brussels talking about getting some warmer feelings or at least it looks like from the e.u. when it comes to bridge that itself but this could be something that is you know very deceiving at this point of the break that vote coming next week in parliament in the u.k. is about the exit date which is supposed to be march two thousand and nineteen this could happen to her again that she might lose that date. it might be pushed back and you know i'm one of those people that don't believe it's over until it's over and brags that as one of those things even if it does happen it's going to look a lot more like staying in the e.u. than a lot of people thought it was in the beginn

a particular interest in proclaiming fort bragg. a brass canyon of a particular incident which made its way out here to concord, the home of colonel james barrett where most of this was stored -- we will get to that. because of tension rising, thomas gage wanted in april to seize these arms and armaments that were being collected. he wanted to do it in a very secretive fashion, but when he gathered seven hundred some british soldiers to come on out to concord to collect these arms, it was not exactly the best kept secret. there was a system of alarm riders from boston to the colonies who spread the word of the british army who were now on the march. as the british army marches down from boston in the early morning of april 19, they encountered 77 militiamen on lexington green. no one knows who did it, but shots were fired that morning. we would eventually have seven or eight colonials would die on lexington common. the british would continue then to march towards concord. as as they start to get closer to lincoln,teh concord, and be

it for braggs it is with things like britain being completely free of e.u. regulations moving forward completely ending freedom of movement. not sending any more money to the e.u. i think if you're add up what we do know at least for this agreement there's going to be money going to the e.u. for decades is they going to car point where briggs it is going to stop and say well hang on what was the whole point of this. absolutely and this is why i think that you know the talks are going to get very more emotional and fraught going forward and that's because the idealistic utopia promised by breck's it is outside of the e.u. well it turns out that doesn't exist you know so for example the the whole frack us around the bracks bill it seemed to come as a huge shock to many in the u.k. but now what's happened that's been settled and we're moving on the whole thing you hit the nail right on the head when you mentioned the issue about regulatory alignment of course from the use perspective there is no such thing as seamless trade without following the rules and now i

does this mean they're good poor theresa may as she heads into the next phase a crucial phase of bragg's that talks with the e.u. well the e.u. obviously would like to have somebody in london who is a strong partner somebody who can actually act on all they dream and that will be hammered out in brussels in the future regarding the future relationship for them it's actually not good to have to reason why as she is which is weakened she has a very thin majority and we're now seeing that her own m.p.'s are prepared to rebel against her budget thank you so much she must there in london so how is all this going down with the new d.w. correspondent standing by for us in brussels georg is this going to change the strategy there you are in the brig's it talks what has just happened there in london that decision by the e.u. parliament to take a bigger role. the e.u. terry has observed quite a bit of political infighting here during this press it negotiation process and so no it was put it in a nutshell no it will not change their strategy the strategy all along has been no cherry picking for the
