they come down the potomac river. they're in the time of their life. and then they're told where they're going and all of a sudden that enthusiasm goes right out the window. so ricketts men will arrive at the monocacy junction july 8th into the early morning hours of july ninth, 1864, and wallace decides to do is retreat back across the monocacy river. he uses the monocacy to his advantage. there are three bridges over the monocacy river on your maps. right. you'll see them dispositions. two in the middle, the railroad bridge, the wooden cross, the wooden covered bridge. and then further to the north is the stone bridge, which covers baltimore pike into the city of baltimore the shawnee called the monocacy river of many bends. it curls and it bends and it bends back again. and so what wallace hopes to do is use the river to limit the places the confederates can cross. he knows the confederates have to cross the river somewhere somehow. so he those bridges are going to be at a premium with the arrival of ricketts his force. lou wallace on the morning of

cooper found himself tracking the movements of the entrenched army of the potomac. not so much on the battlefield, as in its pivotal parade towards the poles and the national nations day of decision. knowing full well the soldier vote and the army of the potomac was crucial to lincoln's chances for another term. the journal's editor included the latest information on the temporary release of patients and whole regiments for 20 days to go home to vote. there was also information on polling procedure in the field for the election. competing with election results on the morning of november 9th, there was other important news. the journal was now a paying paper and not a dollar of debt remained against the establishment. after three quarters of a year in print, the paper's object to benefit the soldier and the citizen who receives and hereafter to educate and give a home to children who may be left out in cold and ignorance by the vicissitudes of war. well, it had become a reality over the course of the next four months, as grant's army wore down lee's hard pressed troo

soldiers and the army of the potomac are incredibly demoralized anyway. there officers decided to give them whiskey rations to cheer them up in the midst of the bad weather and everything else. and the men become drunk and begin fighting. be on marches, there are other officers who decide that battle constitutes extreme fatigue. this is absolutely, most assuredly, not what the military considers to be fatigue duty the officers seem to think that if you needed whiskey to dig a ditch, you definitely needed whiskey to charge a . the general understanding seem to be that liquor could stimulate but also calm the nerves are still unsold back best mecca does not work the way that officers intend. there are instances when officers will give whiskey rations during battle and it backfires. in one case, during the siege of petersburg in june 1864, a federal captain gave his men whiskey right before they were going to be engaged. instead of fighting, the men dropped into a ditch just outside of a line of trees and the captain, who had given the whiskey ration was lef

of course, those reinforcements were coming down from the army of the potomac, the 11th and 12th corps, under the command of hooker and hooker's force came 1159 miles in nine days. a remarkable, remarkable journey. arriving in the first week of october at the army's base of supplies, at stevenson, alabama, now now, the federals were involved in what i would call a siege. it's almost always just called a siege, but they weren't entirely surrounded, but they were in deep trouble. and this is kind this gets into some of this complicated geography now. the main head of the supply depot for the union army was in bridgeport, alabama, on the north bank of the tennessee river. but the leg and road leading from bridgeport to chattanooga was controlled by the confederates in the lookout valley. and i look out mountain. so consequently they couldn't use the road. the tennessee river was low. there had been a sustained drought and if you remember about battle of chickamauga, the soldiers were really hurting for water at chickamauga and so the tennessee river particularly near chattanooga, was too

these decades, starting from... the nineties led to the fact that the guys from the banks of the potomact now they can do anything, they have all solved all their problems, the world is at peace their feet, and what is russia there, what will they talk about there, now we will put things in order, well, they should put things in order at home, you see, you can’t wake up recklessly. while it is quiet, folk wisdom , you can’t argue against it, as well as against the facts, because the americans very effectively used this very strategy of controlled migration in europe, in order to dictate their terms very effectively, but now look, this is the very problem stood in front of them. they don’t know what to do, because some sensible politicians say: well, let's mind our own business, our border is on fire, we have crowds of people crossing it every single day, we need to do something there, restore order, we have a lot of problems in our country, at this time the other part, the so -called politicians, says no, let's help ukraine, because we can't allow russia to win, well, this... actually, i

the park is compromised of 184 miles along the potomac river hosting over five million visitors annually. the bill before us would re-authorize the park's advisory commission until 2031 to allow them to continue their leadership in working with their communities to enhance visitor experience and recreational opportunities. the advisory commission is key to enyou suring -- ensuring local communities have a voice in the operation, maintenance and operation of the park. i urge my colleagues to vote yes on the bill and i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: t he gentlewoman reserves. the gentleman from arkansas is recognized. mr. westerman: i have no further requests for time and continue to reserve. the speaker pro tempore: t he gentleman reserves. the gentlewoman is recognized. mrs. dingell: i yield four minutes to the gentleman from maryland. the speaker pro tempore: t he gentleman is recognized. mr. trone: i rise to urge a yes vote to the c&o kanell national historic park commission act. running from d.c. to cumberland, maryland, the park's 20,000 acres of land are ho

let's pretend they come up the potomac river and lay anchor out here at the wharf. those people slowly get off, one at a time. i envision one ship full of known terrorists and chinese nationals. there'd be 80 ships with aliens of interest, people from countries that wish harm to america. there would be 200 ships anchored out here, where people would hop off the ship and just disappear into the night. 200 ships with a thousand people on it. disappearing in the night. we have no idea who they are or where they are. there'd be another 200 ships, 200 ships with a thousand people that president biden would give parole to. just say you're fine, we don't care what reason you are here for, here's your parole slip. then sprinkled in amongst these ships are criminals, murderers, rapists, thugs, drug traffickers, human traffickers, amendment thieves. does that sound like an invasion to you? next, why do we need to declare this an invasion? well, what our resolution does is give state governors more powers to defend themselves. if the federal government's not doing their job, i

what a week it was, the border, senate border bill is somewhere floating at the bottom of the potomaciver. it was an interesting exercise as you saw chief owens admits things there that were good and cbp and put on the highlights you can see here. tell me, you know, with of course, who doesn't-- who is going to turn down 20 billion. the attempt in catch and release, there's a debate whether it would have fully done that and the expansion of the border wall and mandatory shutdown at 5,000 encounters, that was really a fiery part of all of this. your thoughts on what happened, what was good about it and what needs to be in the next attempt? >> well, griff, it's interesting seeing you in studio normally i see you out on the border and we appreciate everything that you do out there. a lot of what you just saw right there is what we have to have in a border security bill and it all has to start with the talk of mandatory detention, you have to end catch and release. if you don't start with that conversation you're not going to have anything, but then you also have to raise the credible fea
