pope responds, mr.retary, i entirely concur in the wisdom of concentrating these widely scattered forces in front of washington, d.c. and using them generally as you propose, but i do certainly not view with any favor the proposition to place me in command of them. the title of tonight's presentation is john pope's reluctant rise. for the last 18 months he's been doing everything he can to rise through the ranks, but now he's saying i don't want this command. stanton is annoyed, to say the least. stanton is saying, look, you should be flattered that i brought you out here, that i'm offering you this command. and pope says, listen, i'm very grateful, but i don't want this station, i don't want this command. pope is being reluctant to rise in this occasion. stanton says, what do you mean, why don't you want this? so pope begins to explain. he says, first of all, there's three general of these armies and all of them are my senior in rank. and if we brought these armies together and i commanded them, it wou

pope's army is hungry. when pope takes command he fires a very, very intelligent fellow by the name of herman hout who kept the supplies running and by the time pope's army is almost starving to death he comes crawling and begging back to hout to please, please come back. by the middle of the month of august, pope is beginning to learn that these objectives are set upon crushing his army and begins to make a series of decisions that are going to lead to what will happen at the end of the month. but by the second to last week of august, john pope starts making a lot of the mistakes. done pretty well in this campaign so far although he failed tactically at cedar mountain, he is holding some strategy, some campaign objectives he is given but by august 25 and 26, pope has gone completely off the rails, the stress of the command, stress of the objectives, all the subtext we talked about is weighing on him heavily, pope is uncertain about lee's intentions by theened of the month. no reenforcements hallock has bee

good-bye, pope. pope arrives on june 24th to what he describes as an enthusiastic welcome, as it's also reported in the philadelphia inquirer. upon his arrival, his wife had wrote him a quick note and that this moment, this movement out to washington, d.c., this movement, this order, this meeting was perfectly convinced that all of this was leading to a greater purpose and that greater purpose was that pope would not return to the west. she would write this in her letter. i'm sure perhaps mcdowell's department and you will take the field against jackson. it is possible that you may supersede mcclulen, but i do not on the subject consider it likely. how clairvoyant was pope's wife in that moment. now on june 25th, pope has arrived to washington, d.c. and he has his first interview that day with secretary of war edwin stanton. he goes and sits with stanton, and there they sit, and they sit and they look at each other and they it size each other up. they have some very faint chitchat about light hearted

pope's biographer, will -- say at times that pope was erratic during the battle, that pope continues in a quote, wishful thinking -- he said pope was choosing to disregard both his senses and his better judgment. they're on the field with pope, lieutenant stephen well would say that general pope seemed wholly at a loss of what to do and what to think. he said that he did not know where his own man were or where jackson was. we all know how the battle of manassas played out. but would retreat back to washington d.c. and eventually, he would be relieved of command. and we move to the end of this program this evening, talking about that moment. where everyone in the historiography of 159 years -- i should say everyone, but most -- and even pope's contemporaries argue that this defeat -- ultimately will be his fall from grace and the eyes of the lincoln administration. but it couldn't be further from the truth. in late august of 1862, as manassas was playing out in virginia, abraham lincoln and edmund stanton are ignoring desperate pleas for help from the governor of minnesota. there is

give me and my division with pope and popes army, i would breathe again. several days into the campaign, popes men are defeated at the magic and defended at cedar mountain and pulling back from that battlefield surrender the initiative to robert e lee. lee will see is that immediately and begin to capitalize on all that it will provide him. the second manassas campaign continues to unfold, row and the army of virginia plummets brother, many men feel they are needlessly sacrificed after the defeat of cedar mountain, they are not be supported. ... >> by the middle of the month of august hope is beginning to learn that these objectives are set upon pressing his army and he began to make that series of decisions that are going to be to what will happen at the end of the month. but by the second to the last week of august, john pope starts make mistakes but he said pretty well in this campaigns of our other areas held at cedar mountain and he is holding some of the strategies and some of the campaign objectives that houston gave him but by august 25th of 26, he
