anybody who goes throughout our city streets and are able to see a nice new car brandt, who is able to get into the public health building really ought to thank susan. it's put the city a place to make sure our facilities are as accessible as possible to all individuals. whether you are in a wheelchair or pressing a baby stroller, frankly, thank you for pushing the city in that direction. it was a big deal to get that meeting. it is why we have funded and prioritized making 88 improvements in our public right away and facilities. also, thank you for the work you have done in the small business world, helping to strike the balance between making sure our businesses are complying as best as they can and understand what their obligations are. thank you for that. you have always been the person to steer is in the right direction. sometimes policy-makers don't know what the right answer is and we throw all sorts of stuff out there and you have always helped us make sure we are getting down the right way and we were not going to pass had unintended consequences. we will miss having you as ou

that is a matter of we was in brandt's -- >> all right. >> i was going to agree with her, actually. there are things, that he said he didn't care for them because he threw them at certain situations. they also don't, being a regular private or corporal in an infantry, you don't get the strategy, you only see the tactics. while they may see he is throwing body at a certain level. they are seeing he is not choosing to skip certain battles and move on to certain other things and not picking every battle across the line to wrack up wins. but overall, get a victory on strategy. >> from what we know of grant's reputation among his troops, he was -- generally, he was not loved -- how many know this by nicknames? sherman is called uncle billy. lee is called robert. mcclellan was called little mac. it was fond. you hatch these big parade. they like parade. i know you all love parade. you live for parades. right? and, and, mcclellan, was a great horse man. he would do a flourish. his troops would go crazy. and really, it is seriously true. you know, the sense among historians. grant never got

but brandt, if you see the number of troops he's able to get back into play on day two, he gets roughly 36,000 troops on day two. you add that up with buell's force and now the federals almost outnumber the confederates two to one. so the arithmetic is completely altered. the british attack on day one with a slight numerical advantage over grant's force here. grant now attacks on day two with an overwhelming force. also, that overwhelming force, the fact that it's been reinforced, catches buebueagardd his army completely off guard. where do they go the first night? the first camp they possess in the battle, they go back to p prentice's camp, they go back to stewart's camp, and they go back four miles off pittsburg landing. they completely uncover the front. and that's when the federals begin to advance before dawn on day two. they're actually able to maneuver out and take advance deployed position far inland from pittsburg landing. and they don't have to fight for it. and day two fighting in a short time is quickly turned on this union numerical advantage. the confederates will have to
