the costly battle at fredericksburg. for john west haley, fredericksburg was a true baptism by fire. that day, of course, 13,000 union soldiers were added to the casualties. they saw blue coated division after blue coated division advancing across the wide open plains that extended the heights where the confederates were parked where they planted artillery batteries. this day, john west haley wrote , this day has been a most exciting and eventful one. his ears, he said, were saluted with the cries of the wounded. a whole lifetime has been crowded into a single day. yet, it was a mere taste of what was to come. the folly of -- the virginia crossroads where robert e. lee and stonewall jackson literally outflanked another new union commander, joseph hooker. the horrors of gettysburg were on the afternoon of july 2 on the southern end of the battle, they formed up behind a low stone fence on the southern fringe of a wheat field. there, they held a read then line and risked human cost. and then, the ghastly horrors of the ove

what can be done about the terrible traffic around fredericksburg? [laughter] hmmm, well -- [laughter] -- williams: what we can do what can be done about the traffic around fredericksburg? we have a traffic problem within the first district of virginia and virginia as a whole. one thing we can do, and i that we will do, is due to transportation and infrastructure study, so we can figure out how we, as a team, the localities, the state, and the federal government, can figure out where we should put money so we can start -- so we can focus on projects and not do these piecemeal jobs that cause the backup speedo fredericksburg. i can play my main office is in vienna. yeah, try that from king george. it takes me three hours. on if we do a traffic study i-95, i 64, 301, and route one corridor, we can figure out how to bring commerce to the first ,istrict and the northern neck but we can also figure out how to bring broadband to those areas while we are doing construction jobs, and doing underground utilities, and we can figure out how to make our traffic

he said, fredericksburg, every week, we will win, we will wear them away. i just have to find someone who understands that. if you believe in the butcher theory -- he had found that general. they did not like the result. i wish you would lose fewer men in the process. again, if you give me a job, give me the ability to do it, trust me to do it my way, let me do it my way. of course, an american general will always say that, and of course that's impossible from the beginning because american generalship is inherently political and you have to please the boss. speaking of pleasing the boss, the final i want to make point comparison of is the defense of washington in the shenandoah valley. lincoln is critical of the decisions in terms of manpower being left behind to defend the national capital, so much so that he would tell significant forces that mckellen had encountered and mckellen -- mcclellan would say the refusal to give him the reinforcements he desired fatally compromised his campaign against richmond. mcclellan had to deal with the fact that the pres

the confederate general johnson falls back from the area falling back to fredericksburg. it is not on this map here but is north of the map, meaning that mccullen's landing in urbana, they can react to that quickly so he has to abandon the plan and do what lincoln wants an attack overland or he has to modify it and go further south and land on a different peninsula. we know he chooses to land further down and he is not going to concede to lincoln and lance at the virginia -- lands at the virginia peninsula, right near hampton roads which is the area here. and he is going to now march over this peninsula towards richmond.'s argument is can still outflank the confederate army, we will get to richmond before johnson even does. mccullen sees a lot of advantage for this. the problem with this is that mccullen had not researched this peninsula very well, he knew what he was getting into in urbana, walking across a small neck of land and the railroad serves as the supply line all the way into richmond. but to get to that same railroad by lending here you have a much further dist
