so in that regard i think petersburg is always understood as a siege of that are prior to petersburgot of interest at the civil war students have. it's just depressing and there's no real tactic to try to understand and therefore who cares unless just move onto appomattox and be done with it. you said dismissing, there are nine federal offensive send so there was a lot of maneuvering at dieter spurred. was there slack time in between? absolutely and yes there were various trench raids and various calvary. send lots of actions both north and south of the james river. one thing we have to understand is the petersburg campaign in fault directly all the actions that it heard in the county so these sort of mysterious battles the first deep autumn second a bottom williamsburg road all these things that only summers has ever understood what it's all part of the petersburg store and there is lots of action going on north of the james. you could certainly argue i think without much of a stretch that the 1854 shenandoah valley campaign was also part of the petersburg store. that is a direct re

now, the petersburg campaignmic [ inaudible ]. now, the petersburg campaign [ inaudible ] chief of all union armies. grant brought two [ inaudible ]. first, to apply [ inaudible ] across all the various theaters of the [ inaudible ]. it looks like we're going to get some technical help here. you don't want to miss any of my words, i'm sure. [ laughter ] if i was brian wills, i would tell a joke right now. [ laughter ] i'll just keep going. and the second thing, of course [ inaudible ] decided not to make his headquarters in washington [ inaudible ] instead -- i don't think -- to make his headquarters with the [ inaudible ] and pursue relentless operations against the confederate opponents. now, grant would of course implement in plan in early may, sending his protege william sherman on a campaign in georgia to concentrate on johnson at a railroad hub in atlanta and in virginia mead would focus laser-like on the army of robert e. lee while two subordinate offences would take place up the shenandoah valley and up the james river tow

you know, everybody's been to petersburg and you think it's the first petersburg offensive, but it involves four armies. it involves four days of combat plus a major logistical movement in order to get there, so we'll try to go through this and hopefully have a better understanding of what i think is a very complex -- is my microphone cutting in and out? okay. the famous confederate artillrist thought that, quote, the initial struggle was the most interesting point in the whole military history of the confederacy. you may not agree with alexander, but the events between june 15th and 18th, 1864, if they had gone differently at petersburg would have altered the trajectory of the civil war tremendously perhaps shortening it by months. so my talk is going to address the movements to petersburg at that time. the conduct of the combat -- of course the various theaters of the looks like they're going to get some technical help here. you don't want to miss any of my words i'm sure. i'll just keep going. and the second thing, of course, is he decided not to make his headquarters in washington -- an

and three of them, the southside railroad, in petersburg, it's real name was the petersburg railroad. but that's where it ended 60 miles south north of north carolina. all of this remained crucial to confederate supply stations. in fact with -- [inaudible] the richmond, fredericksburg and potomac railroad, the virginia central railroad all into dictated by union forces, the capture of petersburg and military railroads would have rendered richmond more abundant. and so, i don't think that [inaudible] . . . . . , -- he was going to be approaching richmond in the same way that -- had done in 1862. and even this this had all been planned -- negotiated ridiculous -- river -- [inaudible] river which was as much as 80 feet deep. and as wide as 4000 feet. the army of the potomac was spread out. and vulnerable. never more so than in the process of crossing the james river. the movement also put butlers army in jeopardy as grant would be much farther away from the army of the james then would be the army of northern virginia. lastly, -- was contrary to what the administration expected grants --

, 19th century picture in front of you, suffixes many of you know, it's about 30 miles south of petersburg. and this was the summer 14, 1864, when the sunset on this building, and homes around sussex, they were romans because of the group and earlier that day, warrens soldiers had discovered that some stragglers that they not been captured and they had been mutilated and killed by local civilians or ruins himself since the retaliation it. they destroyed at least it, at least 15 homes in the sussex surrounding the sussex courthouse and also women and children out into the night called. and this also attracted they can't give you numbers but certainly a significant number of enslaved men and women and joined the column of course with the hopes of freedom. and also the union soldiers committed acts of sexual violence and rape as well and before they headed back to petersburg, the mission was hugging more detail about this but the mission was the railroad and to destroy it. the final say this now forgets all so i've been thinking about this and this expedition destroy the robot and role in and

and so he decides to go back to petersburg. it is my hunch, and it is only a hunch, that the people of sussex county thought this was the last day would find of union soldiers. had no idea they would turn around and come back. and that is exactly what they did. as union soldiers are headed to turn back to sussex and ultimately up to petersburg, words spread. word spreads through the ranks. that some stragglers, union soldiers, had been murdered. and when word spreads, men immediately seek revenge. i hope to not repeat this point more than once, but maybe i should. because it's an important one. the vast majority of warns men they did not see union stragglers murdered or mutilated. they did not see their bodies. this is a lot of room or. rumor that there is, i believe, substantial and concrete evidence that this crime did occur. i have had a top and have seen this here, an enjoyable one, with the civil war roundtable. and there are some people who believe that these accounts by union soldiers are not credible accounts of these w

remind ourselves that even when petersburg and richmond was vacated. i'm going to get numbers wrong here. you can tell me if i'm in the ballpark. i'd say lee had probably roughly 60,000 men? yes. shaking his head yes. those men, many get captured ore desert in the retreat. still a formidable force even in the spring of '65 and the final point i would raise is civil armies were virtually indestructible. that is kind of one of the tragic ironies of the civil war. the battles we spend so much time studying, i'm not suggesting to you they were not significant. they absolutely were. but ultimately what brought the confederacy to its knees was the raiding strategy. this speaks to your question. what warren did against hicksford. that is not the first raid against that part of the infrastructure. it is the raiding strategy of the north that ultimately compels the south to give in. these great battles as we've seen time and time again that are, you know, heavyweight fights. each side blades themselves up. go to respective corners and come back out to fight aga

i felt like i knew a fair amount about petersburg. i heard it was called the apple jack raid, which maybe some you have heard that. i might be missing one. stony creek raid. it goes by a will the of different names. i heard of it but didn't know the details. i looked at his footnote and that's where i saw the citations and the references to this. i couldn't believe it. then i turned to lord trudeau. that's the very best account we have of the sussex raid. i'll say one more nice thing about will green. i assume this will be in volume three. will has written the first of three volumes on the petersburg campaign published by unc press. we'll touch on it but not in the detail that will would do. i'm like i'm going to check this thing out. i drove down to sussex county. got into the tax ledgers and tried to identify homes that were destroyed by warren's men, which i did. came up with roughly about 15 homes. as i left the building, i noticed there was a county seal framed on the wall and a letter next to it. that letter was from a man named

he breaks these lines and they abandon petersburg. we can thank hollywood's scriptwriters for magnify symbolism of appomattox. there is a film currently in rotation on a channel called the undefeated, john wayne that opens with wayne's unit attacking a rebel position. the next morning to present his office with news of lee's surrender and the civil war was over. an episode of gun smoke into a civil war veteran on a mission of vengeance assess all the violence in the world didn't and when lee surrendered. marshall troup scored a figure to meet with union officer whose life he saved the government to talk about amnesty. this time the character says maybe i'll have a chance for my own appomattox. the campaign has this kind of power on the popular meaty media, you could bet there's some twisting to the story at various times. early 1865, weak distributive a contingency plan should richmond petersburg become untenable, they would fall back to a certain place. this is completely normal, what a good commander best assessing popular mass abil
