will go on to have a great and illustrious career as one of lee's trusted corps commanders but he doesn't have a good day on may 31. johnson tells longstreet what he wants to happen and he gives longstreet the authority to put it in place. then longstreet starts putting it in place and completely misheard everything johnson said or decided he wanted to do and do it better and longstreet botches his attack plan. so without going into great detail, the battle of seven pines is a hopelessly mismanaged battle that accomplishes nothing other than inflicting significant casualties on both armies. confederacy loses 6000 men and the union army loses about 5000. any time you see a map like this , i want to give a shout out to the man who creates it, al jefferson does a lot of great civil war maps so i used his maps, they are the ones that you see on wikipedia for seven days. a credit to how he does these maps. you can see the botched attack here, the circles where they are supposed to go and the dotted lines where they go and it's all messed up. of the 6000 confederate casualties that happened on may 31, one is significant. >> john

lee evacuated the pittsburgh front and slipped west. not in retreat, in a effort to make it down to north carolina. link up with jay johnson's armies, who had been wrestling with williamston and sherman. grant for his part after the collapse of the front, something that had been willed by -- whittled by losses at the fort, grant started on a chase through southwest virginia leading him to the place called apple max. as we discussed in greater detail on tuesday, lee surrendered the army of northern virginia to ulysses grant. though hope haley noted, hope filled the nich occupied by despair on the day he surrendered. he was still reluctant to make any sweeping conclusions about the war. he was reluctant to say it was redemptive. this day was the climax of a three-year war and entailed much suffering. and no benefit. two months before john haley received his coveted discharge papers and made his way back to maine. journey north invited him to reflect on the tribulations and trials of the war. the army marched over much the same grounds they had contested between the james and the dam that previous summer. he marveled at the ext

[ laughter ] i may not sound like much, but this is a huge change, this is a huge shift. the priority is no longer take the city and let the enemy army fend for itself. we will go after the enemy army. we will kill confederates, we will reduce robert e. lee's ability not only to concentrate striking power against us but by invoking another napoleonic principal, two date the enemy and go after them and force them to react to us. that is grants plan a behind the objective, you use the army as the objective point. this is a huge shift and a huge shift in thinking that anything that the soldiers had before. it demonstrates the new mentality that the new focus that grant brings to the east because, he also understands from a political and economic standpoint, what is at stake and that he has to ge
