he rebuilt shiloh in its current location. under his leadership, shiloh's membership, its facilities, its energy took off under pastor patterson. he has conducted thousands of marriages and baptisms. he has given thousands of eulogies, celebrated graduations and anniversaries, counseled countless couples, people who are grieving, people who are rejoicing, people who are suffering, and he's helped turn that into action, not just for the african american community but for all people and all races in our community and in our state. quote, the church was and always been the sanctuary in the black community, pastor patterson told a reporter earlier this year. it is the meeting place, he said, the community center, the focus for support and help, the place you come to be important, the psychologist for your particular problem, the time to shout out your frustrations, and a place to be significant. he continued, you could be a deacon or something in the church where in the rest of the community you're just another black person. the c

[indiscernible] >> did grant comment on buell in his memoirs? no. the interesting thing about, at the time, grant will give you the sort of buell arrived at this time, there's no acknowledgment from grant that buell in any way saved the day. grant would argue that he had moved to a defendable ground by this time and he was abl

shiloh is not a victory. armyught time for grant's to reorganize itself and ultimately helps to bring a great victory for the reunion, -- for the union, but at a horrific cost as men start going really the fields, prelude to pickett's charge a year later, robert e. lee charging across those open fields. and the union army, 40 canon at least. standing there, standing in open fields. the confederates with grievous assault. robert e lee, john bell hood. a great defense usually has to go with some sort of great offense. in looking at antietam, who kevin will talk about tomorrow. that is a perfect example. robert e. lee using interior lines to move quickly from right to left. lines,nemy has exterior it will take a lot longer -- interior lines versus exterior lines. a big deal for napoleon. these are things they would've learned at west point if they went to the class in their senior year. some of those great defenses are not always successful. the confederates held. the confederates held. then they gave way. they

those open fields they are fighting and give ways to the choking woods of shiloh. this is around the place we call the hornets nest today. that great defense is just a portion of the shiloh battle. -- wel great defenses haven't speaker talking about the battle of corregidor, the tan death march. of the alamo was a great defense for 13 days but is not a victory. loh isrnets nest at shi not a victory. it ultimately helps to bring a great victory for the union, but it comes at a horrific cost. a cost that is starting to add up. as men start going across to likehills up places malvern hill. robert e. lee charges across malvern hill. the union army was 40 cannons at least firing into an open field. areding in open fields fighting for their lives as they keep retreating closer and closer to the james river. they throw back the confederates with grievous losses. assaults that were made by men like napoleon, and robert e. lee. they are unsustainable. a great defense has to go along with a great offense. looking at antietam who kevin will talk about tomorrow, antietam is a

next month reverend paterson leaves the pulpit of shiloh missionary baptist church. this is a pulpit that he has held for some 47 years. mrs. paterson, his wife of six decades, is to be recognized for her service as well. anchorage is one of america's great communities and it is not uncommon to celebrate the retirement of a figure of alonzo paterson's stature. but really four separate days of events, that's huge. and it's a testament to the respect that our community has for the paterson family. think about this: alaska's been a state for just 58 years. reverend paterson has had his pulpit for 47 years, and shiloh is not reverend paterson's first pulpit in alaska. it's his second. he came to anchorage after founding the corinthian baptist church in fairbanks. reverend paterson grew up with alaska and alaska grew up with reverend paterson. corinthian and shiloh could appropriately be characterized as african american churches but for the african american community in alaska, they were far more than churches. they are centers of black history in alaska. zaiaka cummings

that was at shiloh. there wasn't really any real opportunity to have a sort of relationship. so basically, whatever existed was through official correspondence. >> and the performance together on the second day of the battle? >> the performance on the second day is largely because where grants armie retreated -- army -- grant's army retreated. there was a slight ravine. the arrival of buell's troops were fresh from transporting and thrown into what the confederates thought would be a fairly defensive position the next morning. they were not prepared for what buell and grant had planned for them early the next day, on monday. collectively, they managed to pull out of defeat a fairly prominent victory. questions atwo sickly are about civil war research. this is a good one -- are strictly about civil war research. how has the recent research changed any aspect of the civil war history as opposed to what was going on before that? that one.start with largely because that was the question earlier about the press . one of the things that has happened in our profession is that things

we have shiloh in the west, gettysburg, appomattox in the east, that's about the right proportion to come out. your next sheet shows how much more complicated, but that is, it's even handed. there's no taking sides there. fast forward to the 1990s. that is the sheet of commemorative stamps from the '90s. and you can see that it's completely different. it has men and women. black and white. native american, different battles. it's a much more complicated landscape of the war, but still an even handed one in terms of for every union figure there's a confederate figure. and if you look at the very top, and i didn't bring my glasses but i'm pretty sure it says this. i think it says civil war in very large letters. and i think it says war between the states in smaller letters. but that's, again, who calls it the war between the states, former confederates. should be war among the states, i think, but never mind that. they call it war between the states. and the united states calls it the civil war. well, that's not really what many -- what did the union people really call it? the war of t

like heather cox richardson have been reminding the people like me who talk about the battles of shiloh and so forth, that there was a lot going out in the west involved indians and somebody beside robert e. lee and ulysses s. grant. i want to argue this morning buffalo bill is not as reconciliationist a figure has been argued, and that this whole north-south quarrel keeps popping up. and that what you actually see in buffalo bill's civil war is the north-south quarrel that happens in the west. when buffalo bill was a little boy, his family moved from iowa out to kansas, rather, the salt creek valley of kansas. in 1854, when the territory had just been opened up. this is a different part of kansas than jeff showed you. we were over in eastern kansas by levin worth, where the codys settled. kansas had just been opened to settlers on the premise of popular sovereignty which meant the settlers got to decide whether or not there would be slavery, territory before 1854 had been closed to slavery. now, when the territory is opened, they settled there, settlers get to decide whether they want
