Vicksburg tells Jackson to hold it's beer after Friday nights brawl at Mexican restaurant Margaritas and has a cinco de mayo shooting inside the "Superior Crab" while their police chief is there during their Cinco party. This leads me to discussing an idea about getting local restaurant owners to pool together and set a hood rat trap to keep the trash out of good restaurants by creating a place so good that they won't want to go anywhere else. Hour #2- We play the Matt Walsh reaction video to the Shiloh Hendrix ordeal and how she may have just single handedly canceled cancel culture.

Per- or Polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a class of chemicals that are known for their ability to contaminate our environment and be resistant to breaking down. However, there's still a lot to learn about their potential for toxicity. One way scientists can better understand PFAS toxicity is by using the embryonic zebrafish models. These tiny fish have a genome that is around 70% similar to humans. This makes the zebrafish a powerful tool in understanding how some chemicals may express toxicity in humans. Eli Cowan is a second-year PhD student in the lab of Robyn Tanguay, which is a part of the Environmental and Molecular Toxicology lab here at OSU. His research focuses on using the zebrafish model to understand how PFAS exposure may lead to adverse effects in development. With this data and using his in-dept knowledge of biology, Eli then can help answer questions about how PFAS may be toxic to people. Eli was raised in Vicksburg, Mississippi, where he first encountered zebrafish toxicology in a locally-based lab. Eli has always been a natural born scientist, and that curiosity has led him all the way across the country pushing the bounds of science.

The most famous battles of the US Civil War all occurred in the eastern theater, such as Gettysburg, Antietam, Shiloh, and Bull Run.  However, one of the most important battles, from both a strategic and tactical standpoint, took place in the west.  It was one of the most brilliant led battles of the entire conflict, and it vaulted into prominence a man who would go on to lead the Union to victory and ultimately the Presidency.  Learn more about the Battle of Vicksburg and how it changed the course of the Civil War on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageApril 9th marks 160 years since the surrender at Appomattox Courthouse – the moment that effectively ended America's bloodiest conflict. This anniversary offers a powerful opportunity to reflect on the Civil War's enduring impact on our national identity and democratic principles.The surrender scene itself carries deep symbolism: Lee in his pristine gray uniform meeting Grant in his characteristically muddy field attire, negotiating terms in a small Virginia parlor. What followed wasn't vengeance but surprising generosity – Confederate soldiers allowed to return home under parole, keeping their sidearms and horses, embodying Lincoln's vision for national healing "with malice toward none, with charity for all."But understanding Appomattox requires grasping the full arc of the Civil War. That's why I've curated three essential books that offer fresh perspectives on this pivotal historical moment. James McPherson's "Battle Cry of Freedom" provides the definitive single-volume account, weaving military strategy and social transformation into a compelling narrative that firmly establishes slavery as the war's central cause. Fergus Bordwitch's "Congress at War" illuminates how Radical Republicans in Congress pushed an aggressive legislative agenda that permanently altered federal-state relationships and protected civil rights. And Edward Bonekemper's "Lincoln and Grant" examines how these two underestimated "Westerners" formed an unstoppable partnership of moral vision and military tenacity.As we approach America's 250th anniversary in 2026, these readings help us comprehend how the Civil War fundamentally redefined our nation. The conflict wasn't just about preserving the Union – it transformed America's understanding of liberty itself, creating a constitutional framework that finally began aligning our practices with our founding ideals of equality. Pick up one of these books today and discover how this crucial chapter in our past continues to shape America's present and future.Key Points from the Episode:• Battle Cry of Freedom by James McPherson - Pulitzer Prize-winning comprehensive history that weaves military, political and social dimensions into one gripping narrative• McPherson clearly establishes slavery as the central cause of the Civil War, not simply "states' rights"• Lincoln's evolving definition of liberty shows how the war transformed American identity• Congress at War by Fergus Bordwitch - Reveals how lawmakers drove anti-slavery legislation even beyond Lincoln's initial vision• With Southerners absent, Congress embarked on transformative legislation that laid foundations for modern America• The book highlights how Congress profoundly altered federal-state relationships and protected civil rights• Lincoln and Grant by Edward Bonekemper - Examines the partnership between two "Western" leaders who brought the Confederacy to its knees• Grant's Vicksburg campaign stands as a masterpiece of military strategy• Their collaboration demonstrates how visionary leadership paired with relentless execution changed history• The Impending Crisis by David Potter (honorable mention) - Brilliant analysis of the tense pre-war years from 1848-1861As we approach America's 250th anniversary in 2026, I encourage you to pick up one of these essential reads to understand this critical chapter in our national story.Other resources: Want to leave a review?

Send us a textIn 1964, four members of the Ku Klux Klan killed two African American men in Mississippi. The story of their murder and the following decades of stops and starts in the prosecution of their killers inspired my latest Frank Dodge mystery: Murder on the Mississippi. In this episode, I give some background on the murder of Dee and Moore and how their murder influenced my latest book. Murder on the Mississippi takes place on a Mississippi River cruise from New Orleans to Memphis. The story centers around the story of three African American sisters whose father was killed in Vicksburg, Mississippi, in the 1970s by a gang of white men. They got a tip that the killers would be on the riverboat, so they booked a cruise to find them and hold them accountable. Their father's murder, though, impacted each sister differently, which is one of the main themes of the novel. And while trying to find the killers, Dodge and his friends learn that some people on the boat aren't who they claim to be. The book is already available for pre-order and officially releases on April 8, 2005.

In 1919, the United States experienced what is now called “Red Summer” where a series of violent riots erupted across the country, predominantly against Black citizens. It lasted from May to October and resulted in around 600 deaths. In part 1  we cover the riots of Charleston, Vicksburg, Ellisville, Longview, and Washington DC.

fWotD Episode 2875: Steele's Greenville expedition Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Wednesday, 19 March 2025 is Steele's Greenville expedition.Steele's Greenville expedition took place from April 2 to 25, 1863, during the Vicksburg campaign of the American Civil War. Union forces commanded by Major General Frederick Steele occupied Greenville, Mississippi, and operated in the surrounding area, to divert Confederate attention from a more important movement made in Louisiana by Major General John A. McClernand's corps. Minor skirmishing between the two sides occurred, particularly in the early stages of the expedition. Over 1,000 slaves were freed during the operation, and large quantities of supplies and animals were destroyed or removed from the area. Along with other operations, including Grierson's Raid, Steele's Greenville expedition distracted Confederate attention from McClernand's movement. Some historians have suggested that the Greenville expedition represented the Union war policy's shifting more towards expanding the war to Confederate social and economic structures and the Confederate homefront.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:30 UTC on Wednesday, 19 March 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Steele's Greenville expedition on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Amy.

Slaget vid Gettysburg blev en viktig vändpunkt i det amerikanska inbördeskriget. Före Gettysburg i juli 1863 var det amerikanska inbördeskriget ännu inte avgjort. Sydstatsgeneralen Robert E. Lee vilja få till ett avgörande i kriget utmynnade i slaget vid Gettysburg i Pennsylvania – och han förlorade.Det går att beskriva det amerikanska inbördeskriget som ett utnötningskrig som Sydstaterna förlorade på grund av Lees allt för offensiva krigsföring i Nordstaterna. När Nordstaterna också lyckades få kontrollen över krigsscenen i väster låg vägen öppen för att krossa Sydstaterna.Detta är det andra avsnitt av tre om det amerikanska inbördeskriget. Programledaren Urban Lindstedt samtalar med professor Martin Hårdstedt om hur det amerikanska inbördeskriget avgörs under åren 1863-65.Slaget vid Gettysburg den 1-3 juli 1863 var ett av de blodigaste under hela inbördeskriget med närmare 50 000 döda och sårade. Gettysburg är ett av de viktigaste avgörandena i kriget. Nordstatstrupperna kunde också ta kontroll över den strategiskt viktiga Mississippidalen efter att nordstatsflottan 1862 erövrat New Orleans och erövrat Vicksburg i ett belägringskrig.Senare intogs och brändes Atlanta, varifrån nordstatsarmén tågade genom Georgia. I december1864 intog man Savannah vid kusten. Sydstaternas huvudarmé blev inringad i Virginia, och den 9 april 1865 kapitulerade sydstatsgeneral Robert E. Lee.Det amerikanska inbördeskriget har blivit en nyckelhändelse i USA:s historia. Slaveriet avskaffas och USA får uppleva en traumatisk splittring som ledde till det dödligaste kriget i amerikansk historia. För den svarta befolkningen i den amerikanska södern fortsatte livet att präglas av hot, trakasserier och mord i många år framåt. Och många vita hävdade att sydstaternas brytning med unionen var rättfärdigad.Musik: When Johnny Comes Marching Home – framförd 1990 av USMA Band, Wikimedia Commons.

Whether Michigan's minimum wage for tipped workers goes into effect as-is on Feburary 21, 2025 remains to be seen. Lawmakers have been attempting to push through some changes they say will take the edge off for businesses.Meanwhile, Rachel Plankenhorn - whose family has owned and operated the Village Hide-A-Way in Vicksburg for 40 years - says her wait staff want the tip wage left alone. She tells Community Matters they can make a better wage than the legislation seeks to assure just by giving good service to diners.Episode ResourcesSBAM ESTA, Tipped Wage and Minimum Wage Resource GuideState of MIchigan ESTA InformationBridge Michigan: As Michigan minimum wage fight rages, bipartisan plan would keep tipped rateABOUT COMMUNITY MATTERSFormer WBCK Morning Show host Richard Piet (2014-2017) returns to host Community Matters, an interview program focused on community leaders and newsmakers in and around Battle Creek.

Reflecting on a recent evening spent with a lengthy movie that left me questioning my choices, I realized the importance of aligning our activities with our faith and values. This episode is a journey through prioritizing God, family, and personal enrichment, challenging us to reconsider how we use our time to fit our spiritual growth. We delve into personal reflections and share gratitude for your prayers and support, providing a gentle reminder of the power of prayer for our leaders and those in need of guidance. Through this discussion, you'll discover the enriching experience of reading scripture and learn ways to discern truth through the Bible, all while considering the impact our daily choices have on our spiritual journey.Continuing into the realm of relationships, we explore the dynamics of marriage through the teachings of Ephesians chapter 5. How do modern interpretations influence these age-old directives? We tackle this and more, inspired by the works of C.S. Lewis. You'll also be captivated by the poignant stories of historical figures like Lawrence Saunders and Medal of Honor recipients Christian Albert and William "Alchise," whose unwavering faith and bravery offer timeless lessons of sacrifice and courage. These narratives remind us of the true heroes who should inspire us far beyond the allure of celebrity culture. Join us as we draw strength from their legacies, encouraging us to prioritize what truly matters.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

Welcome to Episode 57 – The Civil War starts and Texans Start Killing Each Other In the previous episode I talked about the path to secession. How Texas called a convention to consider the issue and how, even though some resisted the whole idea, it still went through. In fact, President Lincoln did tell then Governor Sam Houston that if he wanted to resist the convention, then Lincoln would be willing to send in Federal troops. However, Houston rejected that idea because he did not want to turn what was already a tense situation into an outright violent conflict among Texas citizens. Remember that during  the convention, the Civil War Committees of Public Safety was formed. Even though secession had not formerly been approved by the rest of the citizens, the committee  started to negotiate with Maj. Gen. David E. Twiggs, who was the commander of United States troops stationed in Texas. Twiggs, originally from Georgia was in poor health and at the end of his career. On the morning of February 16, Benjamin McCulloch, a veteran Texas Ranger and Mexican War hero, led a force of about 500 volunteers into San Antonio. Once there, they surrounded the garrison at their headquarters and demanded Twiggs surrender. Twiggs did not put up any resistance and readily agreed to the  surrender of all federal property in Texas. He also agreed to evacuate all 2,700 Union troops that were stationed in the various frontier forts. This resulted in Camp Charlotte, Camp Colorado, Camp Cooper, Camp Davis, Camp Del Rio, Camp Montel, Camp San Saba, and Camp Verde all becoming forts for Texas Confederates. It's important to remember that even though a significant majority of Texans approved of the efforts of Texas politicians to support and join the Confederacy there were Texans who were loyal to the Union. After all, more than 14,000 Texans voted against secession. Who were those opposed? Members of various political parties including the Whigs, Know-Nothings, Democrats, and others all maintained some degree of support for the Union. Texas had also seen a very steady stream of German immigrants and from those who originated in the northern (or free) states. These were people who were inclined to support the union. In fact, as 1860 came to a close German immigrants who lived in the Fredericksburg and New Braunfels areas formed the Union Loyalty League. To become a member a person had to swear loyalty to the United States, of course, over the next several years members of the league faced violent reprisals from Confederate sympathizers. In 1862 then Governor Lubbock declared martial law for several counties in the Hill Country (which is where this program originates from and where my ancestors settled) and the confederate legislature passed the Confederate Conscription Act that specifically targeted German Unionists. These actions had the effect of increasing desertions and draft dodging as people did their best to get out of the confederate army. While some German immigrants from the Austin County region did join up and helped to form three companies of Waul's Texas Legion, once they were captured at the battle of Vicksburg, they  quickly took the oath of allegiance to the United States. However, certain of the early Texas Union supporters such as James W. Throckmorton (I spoke about him in the previous episode), and Ben H. Epperson, who was once one of the leaders of those in East Texas who opposed secession, did in fact accept and endorse the Confederacy after Fort Sumter.  Others, such as David G. Burnet, E. M. Pease, and Sam Houston, rather than stay in the public eye, withdrew from public life and did their best to avoid controversy. Some of those opposed to secession either left the state or tried to leave. There were some, such as S. M. Swenson, the man who led or started the immigration of Swedes to Texas and William Marsh Rice, who came to Texas from Massachusetts and who made a fortune in the mercantile busi...

I've been very vocal about my support for a casino in downtown Jackson, I 100% believe it's that it's going to take that type of development to salvage what's left of downtown after the last 30+ years of far-left, ultra-progressive Democrat, super majority control of Jackson. I still believe the delegations that represent the current casino cities will never allow it and I don't understand why we continue to pander to them. The majority of the casino's customers come from the tri-county area, so the tri-county area should benefit in the economic boom that comes from the casinos. Competition is good for everyone, it's not our responsibility to keep Vicksburg's casinos afloat. JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) -A Mississippi House committee looking at ways to revitalize the capital city is going beyond blight discussions. They're being given details of a plan that could have you sitting at a slot machine within a mile of the State Capitol. A group of five businessmen, including former Governor Haley Barbour are making their pitch to lawmakers that they believe can help reverse the economic trends of the capital city. “And that is a casino,” said William Richardson, one of the five members of the Capital City Forward Together team. But the idea brings forward plenty of questions. First, the location. “We are recommending a mile or so of the capitol that brings the jobs, that brings the people,” explained Richardson. “It restores the core of our city.” However, the group makes a few things clear: they don't think it needs to be limited to a specific site. “Why we don't come and say here's the best site, we're not qualified,” noted Richardson. “A casino company that's paying the bill, they're going to look at what their costs are.” And they are not recommending lawmakers put any state money into it. “We are not asking and I would discourage this committee, the whole legislature, you don't need to give a casino any tax money,” added Richardson. “You don't need to invest in it. They got the money.” So, why even come to the legislature with the proposal? The state law would need to be amended to allow for authorization of a casino in Jackson. Under this group's proposal, they think only one should be licensed, and it should be with a current operator in the state. The final piece of their request would require the developer to pay an annual $10 million “Impact fee.” “Which is a secret way of saying you're going to help fund additional growth,” said Richardson. It would operate as a revolving loan fund for others looking to invest in the city. “We have this opportunity sitting in front of us to do something about all this and bring in economic development without asking the taxpayers for a dollar,” added Richard McNeel, one of the five businessmen offering the proposal. The discussions will continue when the session begins next month.

Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com I recently purchased a 2024 Harley-Davidson Street Glide, one of the latest models featuring a redesigned fairing and the new Infotainment Control Unit (IFCU) digital dash system. As someone who values reliability and performance, I opted to replace the stock lead-acid battery with a lithium-ion battery before embarking on a 10-day trip. Over the years, I've tested various lithium-ion batteries and prefer them because they are very lightweight, durable, and efficient.  The First Few Days: Everything Seemed Fine For the first three days of my trip, the Street Glide performed flawlessly with the new lithium-ion battery. The bike fired up without hesitation, and I had no reason to suspect any issues. However, on the third day, I began to notice that the bike was starting a bit slower than usual—a small concern that I decided to keep an eye on. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE On the fourth morning, the bike started up just fine at the hotel. After a quick stop at Starbucks, though, it refused to start. The battery was completely dead. Thankfully, I had one of our compact jump starter packs from the Law Abiding Biker Store, which saved the day. Without it, I would have been stuck waiting for a tow service—something every biker should try to avoid. A jump start pack is an essential tool that every rider should carry to prevent costly and time-consuming interruptions. The Ride Continues: Persistent Issues With my Street Glide jump-started, we set out for a long day of riding. Although the bike started after each stop, it did so a bit slower than usual. Additionally, the battery indicator on the digital dash remained on, signaling that something was still wrong. Despite these issues, we pressed on. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! The Breakdown: A Dangerous Situation Later that day, just outside of Greensboro, NC, on a busy multi-lane freeway, my Street Glide suddenly went completely dead—without warning. I lost all power, including the digital dash system, and had to drift to the inside shoulder. Attempting to jump-start the bike again proved futile, as it wouldn't even power on. Left behind by my riding group, I quickly contacted them to secure a replacement battery. They managed to find a lead-acid battery and brought it back to my location. Fortunately, I was prepared with my Cruz Tools RTH3 emergency roadside tool kit, also available at the Law Abiding Biker Store. We swapped out the lithium-ion battery for the lead-acid one, and my bike started right up. This preparedness saved us valuable time and allowed us to continue our journey without further delay. The Aftermath: Investigating the Issue With the new lead-acid battery installed, the battery trouble indicator disappeared, and I had no further issues for the remainder of the trip. However, the situation left me with many questions. Was the problem caused by the lithium-ion battery? Has something changed in the 2024 models regarding the use of these batteries? And if so, why isn't this information widely known? Determined to find answers, I reached out to my connections within Harley-Davidson. After two weeks of communication, I received the following statement: Harley-Davidson's Statement:  Lithium batteries are not approved by HD fitment for Revolution Max and center-cooled models due to the unique features of the electrical system and software on those vehicles. We continue to evaluate those systems' interactions, the changes needed to possibly enable fitment, and consumer demand. Any potential future changes to enable lithium batteries will be communicated to the field and dealer network via fitment updates or service bulletins.

Tired of a sore and achy ass? Then fix it with a high-quality Butt Buffer seat cushion? My Opinion: What Likely Happened Based on my experience with lithium-ion batteries, here's my take on what likely happened. Lithium-ion batteries are “smart” and can go into sleep mode if they are drawn down too far. I believe that's what happened when my Street Glide suddenly went dead on the freeway. The battery likely went into safe mode, cutting off power to the entire bike. While the charging system is fully capable of charging the battery, the new electrical system in the 2024 models—especially with the IFCU digital dash—might have different protections in place. These protections could allow the main battery to draw down further before it begins recharging, which might explain why a lead-acid battery, which isn't “smart” and doesn't go to sleep, worked without issue. Again, this is just my opinion based on what I've observed. Conclusion: Be Prepared and Stay Informed My experience underscores the importance of being prepared and staying informed about your motorcycle's components, especially when dealing with new technology. Whether it's carrying a reliable jump pack or a comprehensive roadside tool kit, being prepared can save you from potentially time consuming and costly situations. As Harley-Davidson continues to evaluate the use of lithium-ion batteries in their newer models, it's crucial for riders to stay updated wich is why I made this video and wrote this article.  New Patrons: Ola Mattisgården of Rydsgård, Sweden Jeffrey Porras of Phoenix, AZ Stephen Gates of Fort Collins, Colorado If you appreciate the content we put out and want to make sure it keeps on coming your way then become a Patron too!

My special guest tonight is author and researcher Mark Nesbitt here to discuss his book about civil war soldiers that remained on the battle field after their deaths.  Get his book.    Riveting ghost stories with history from all the major engagements of the war.Civil War Ghost Trails examines the major engagements of the Civil War and their connections to the paranormal world. The history of each battlefield is followed by the classic ghost stories that have been around since the guns fell silent. Mark Nesbitt also collected newer stories and attempted a paranormal investigation, including Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP), at many of the sites to see what could be found. In some cases, the results were astounding.Some of the spirits included in the book are the Headless Zouave at Bull Run, the Drummer Boy at Shiloh, and the Phantom Battalion at Gettysburg. Ghosts appear at the Bloody Lane at Antietam and Caroline Street in Fredericksburg, as well as sites at Chancellorsville, Vicksburg, Chickamauga, Chattanooga, Petersburg, and Appomattox Court House. A special section of the book explores the haunted Civil War prisons at Johnson's Island in Ohio, Point Lookout in Maryland, and Andersonville in Georgia. Abraham Lincoln's many White House apparitions are discussed in a section on wartime Washington, D.C.Follow Our Other ShowsFollow UFO WitnessesFollow Crime Watch WeeklyFollow Paranormal FearsFollow Seven: Disturbing Chronicle StoriesJoin our Patreon for ad-free listening and more bonus content.Follow us on Instagram @mysteriousradioFollow us on TikTok mysteriousradioTikTok Follow us on Twitter @mysteriousradio Follow us on Pinterest pinterest.com/mysteriousradio Like us on Facebook Facebook.com/mysteriousradio]

GOOD EVENING. The show begins in revolutionary England and then moves to revolutionary America, following my forebears from 1661 in the Tidewater colonies to the Battle of Vicksburg with Grant. 1625 James ! FIRST HOUR 900-915 1/8: The Blazing World: A New History of Revolutionary England, 1603-1689 Hardcover – Deckle Edge, April 11, 2023.  by  Jonathan Healey (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Blazing-World-History-Revolutionary-1603-1689/dp/0593318358 The seventeenth century was a revolutionary age for the English. It started as they suddenly found themselves ruled by a Scotsman, and it ended in the shadow of an invasion by the Dutch. Under James I, England suffered terrorism and witch panics. Under his son Charles, state and society collapsed into civil war, to be followed by an army coup and regicide. For a short time—for the only time in history—England was a republic. There were bitter struggles over faith and Parliament asserted itself like never before. There were no boundaries to politics. In fiery, plague-ridden London, in coffee shops and alehouses, new ideas were forged that were angry, populist, and almost impossible for monarchs to control. But the story of this century is less well known than it should be. Myths have grown around key figures. People may know about the Gunpowder Plot and the Great Fire of London, but the Civil War is a half-remembered mystery to many. And yet the seventeenth century has never seemed more relevant. The British constitution is once again being bent and contorted, and there is a clash of ideologies reminiscent of when Roundhead fought Cavalier. The Blazing World is the story of this strange, twisting, fascinating century. It shows a society in sparkling detail. It was a new world of wealth, creativity, and daring curiosity, but also of greed, pugnacious arrogance, and colonial violence. 915-930 2/8: The Blazing World: A New History of Revolutionary England, 1603-1689 Hardcover – Deckle Edge, April 11, 2023.  by  Jonathan Healey (Author) 930-945 3/8: The Blazing World: A New History of Revolutionary England, 1603-1689 Hardcover – Deckle Edge, April 11, 2023.  by  Jonathan Healey (Author) 945-1000 4/8: The Blazing World: A New History of Revolutionary England, 1603-1689 Hardcover – Deckle Edge, April 11, 2023.  by  Jonathan Healey (Author) SECOND HOUR 10-1015 5/8: The Blazing World: A New History of Revolutionary England, 1603-1689 Hardcover – Deckle Edge, April 11, 2023.  by  Jonathan Healey (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Blazing-World-History-Revolutionary-1603-1689/dp/0593318358 The seventeenth century was a revolutionary age for the English.

His colleagues were shocked when he volunteered for the Union army, but he was undeterred and later became known as one of the North's greatest heroes: On the second day at Gettysburg, after running out of ammunition at Little Round Top, he ordered his men to wield their bayonets in a desperate charge down a rocky slope that routed the Confederate attackers. Despite being wounded at Petersburg—and told by two surgeons he would die—Chamberlain survived the war, going on to be elected governor of Maine four times and serve as president of Bowdoin College. 1115-1130 2/8: On Great Fields: The Life and Unlikely Heroism of Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain  by  Ronald C.

On September 13th John Horn talked to the Round TAlbe about "The Wilson-Kautz Raid, June-July 1864"  For for Info: WWW.ChicagoCWRT.ORG Grant wasted no time after his Petersburg assaults of June 15-18, 1864, failed to capture the city. He launched his second offensive against Petersburg hours later. Among other things, he sent his cavalry on a raid to cut the Confederate railroads south of Petersburg. This would slow any reinforcements sent from the south and west to the enemy at Petersburg and Richmond. Grant also hoped that in case his infantry failed in its mission a lack of provisions would force the foe to abandon those cities. But at Petersburg Grant faced Lee and not Floyd as at Fort Donelson in 1862 or Pemberton as at Vicksburg in 1863. Lee, his cavalry commander Hampton, and Mahone smashed Grant's cavalry raiders at the battles of Sappony Church and First Reams Station. Born and reared in Chicago, John Horn has practiced law there since 1976. He has written three books and co-edited another about Petersburg, Virginia's soldiers, and the siege of that city. His most recent book, The Petersburg Regiment in the Civil War: A History of the 12th Virginia Infantry from John Brown's Hanging to Appomattox, 1859- 2  1861 (Savas Beatie), won the 2019 Army Historical Foundation Distinguished Writing Award for Unit History. He has published articles in Civil War Times Illustrated, America's Civil War, Gettysburg Magazine, and North and South Magazine. He blogs at johnhorncivilwarauthor.blogspot.com.

In this episode, I dive into the dramatic Battle of Memphis and its prelude, a crucial moment in the struggle for control of the Mississippi River during the Civil War. Three unusual fleets - two Union and one Confederate - converged on Memphis in June 1862. We examine the desperate improvisation of the Confederate River Defense Fleet, the Union's evolving Western Flotilla, and the controversial addition of Charles Elliott's civilian-built ram fleet. Get ready for a blow-by-blow account of river warfare, complete with surprise attacks, chaotic melees, and spectators watching from the bluffs. This is the story of how the Union secured control of the upper Mississippi, opening the way to Vicksburg. It's a tale of innovative tactics, clashing personalities, and a battle that showcased the rapidly evolving nature of naval warfare - where ironclads, rams, and cotton-clads clashed in a way never seen before or since.

Before the moden era, rivers were either great defensive positions, or offensive highways into your enemy's heatland. For the western half of the Confederacy, the North-South rivers were a mortal danger. The Confederacy knew they had to defend their rivers no matter what... and Grant knkew he had to take them. This episode tells the story of the first battle of the River War, the Battle of Belmont - Ulysses S. Grant's first Civil War engagement and the first step of Grant's campaign that ultimately led to Vicksburg in 1863.

1- Full on rant about what a POS Joe Biden is 2- Joe Biden called into morning Joe and through a hissy fit for 15 minutes, showing America just how insane he is. We play the whole segment and I give my commentary over it. 3- Vicksburg, Mississippi has gotten so dangerous that Waffle House has decided to close indoor dinging on the weekends from 11pm-6:30am 4- Three members of Jackson, Mississippi's South Jackson Taliban gang have been arrested and charges with Capitol Murder in the death of Roy Love. Mr. Love was a security guard at M&M food mart on Cooper rd. in South Jackson. 5- The left are now saying the if you call Kamala or KJP "DEI Hires" that you might as well call them the N-WORD with the hard R at the end. 6- Speaking of DEI Hires, KJP is finding out the hard way that's exactly what she is as the press finally comes after her like they did Trumps press sec. over Biden's Parkinson's doctors making 8 different visits to the white house.

Three members of Jackson, Mississippi's South Jackson Taliban gang have been arrested and charges with Capitol Murder in the death of Roy Love. Mr. Love was a security guard at M&M food mart on Cooper rd. in South Jackson. Vicksburg, Mississippi has gotten so dangerous that Waffle House has decided to close indoor dinging on the weekends from 11pm-6:30am

Waffle house has decided to close inside dining and only offer carry-out service at all 4 of it's Vicksburg, Mississippi locations on Friday and Saturday nights starting this Friday, July 12th from 11pm - 6am. They will also beef up security at these locations due to an uptick in unruly customers

What is Decoration Day? Did the South celebrate the 4th of July? As it turns out, the history of the 4th of July is not that straightforward. For example, it took about a century for the recognition of our Independence Day as a federal holiday. And for some 80 years after the Civil war, some parts of the South, including Vicksburg, did not celebrate the 4th of July. It took WWII to create a new sense of nationalism, including the national celebration of the 4th of July.   To better understand the history of our Independence Day, I spoke with Dr. Thomas Balcerski, a professor of history at Eastern Connecticut State University. For the academic year of 2022-2023, Dr. Balcerski was the Ray Allen Billington Visiting Professor in U.S. History at Occidental College and a Long-Term Fellow at the Huntington Library. Dr. Balcerski has taught courses on early American history, U.S. Presidents and First Ladies, and the history of the Democratic Party, from Thomas Jefferson to Joe Biden. To learn more about Dr. Balcerski, you can visit his academic home pages at ⁠Oxy⁠ and ⁠Eastern CT⁠. By the way, be sure to listen to my conversation in S3E1 with Prof. Joel Richard Paul, he told me something very interesting about the 4th of July - that the reason we celebrate 4th of July is because Thomas Jefferson made it a national holiday, in a self-serving way, to elevate the Declaration of Independence.

Newt Gingrich. Nuclear War: A Scenario Newt talks with Pulitzer Prize finalist Annie Jacobsen, about her new book "Nuclear War: A Scenario". The book explores the potential aftermath of a nuclear missile launch, based on interviews with military and civilian experts. Jacobsen discusses the concept of "Mad King Logic", where one irrational leader with a nuclear arsenal could trigger a global catastrophe. She also explains the devastating environmental and human impacts of a nuclear war, including nuclear winter and the death of billions. Jacobsen suggests that the way forward is to reduce the number of nuclear weapons and make their use taboo, following the example set by President Reagan. They also discuss how this could be implemented in a world with unpredictable leaders like Kim Jong Un and Ayatollah Khomeini.

And one of the triggers for that war would be a nuclear missile inbound toward the United States.   Every generation, a journalist has looked deep into the heart of the nuclear military establishment: the technologies, the safeguards, the plans, and the risks. These investigations are vital to how we understand the world we really live in—where one nuclear missile will beget one in return, and where the choreography of the world's end requires massive decisions made on seconds' notice with information that is only as good as the intelligence we have.   Pulitzer Prize finalist Annie Jacobsen's Nuclear War: A Scenario explores this ticking-clock scenario, based on dozens of exclusive new interviews with military and civilian experts who have built the weapons, have been privy to the response plans, and have been responsible for those decisions should they have needed to be made. Nuclear War: A Scenario examines the handful of minutes after a nuclear missile launch. It is essential reading, and unlike any other book in its depth and urgency. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Order Newt's Latest Book: March to the Majority: The Real Story of the Republican Revolution!

Newt Gingrich. The New Space Race – United States vs. China Newt talks with Dr. Greg Autry, author of "Red Moon Rising: How America Will Beat China on the Final Frontier". They discuss the new space race between the United States and China, with the moon as the ultimate high ground. Autry highlights the vast lunar resources that could determine the quality of life on earth in the future. He also discusses the potential of space for manufacturing and medical advancements, such as growing stem cells and creating pharmaceuticals in zero gravity. However, Autry expresses concern about the United States' ability to beat China to the moon, citing a lack of top-level support in the current administration for the space program. Newt's World  May 12 2024   Other Episodes About the book: Red Moon Rising: How America Will Beat China on the Final Frontier – April 30, 2024 by Greg Autry (Author), Peter Navarro (Author), Douglas Loverro (Foreword) 5.0 5.0 out of 5 stars    10 ratings See all formats and editions 100+ bought or read in past month Space Race 2.0 has started, and the winner—America or Communist China—will define the future of humanity. The space race was a critical determining factor in the Cold War. After its Sputnik miracle, the Soviets' loss of the race to the Moon undermined the international mystique of Communism and crushed the USSR's dreams of world domination. America's wildly successful Apollo program, by sharp contrast, brought America global glory and prestige—along with a plethora of “miracle technologies” that accelerated economic growth and strengthened US national security for half a century. We are now embroiled with a brutal and autocratic Communist China in a new cold war and second, far more consequential, race to the Moon—whichever country seizes the commanding heights of the moon will have preferential access to vast lunar resources that will determine the quality of life on Earth and the political and moral character of the human diaspora as it advances into the solar system. America should win Space Race 2.0 and is leading an international and commercial coalition to do so. Yet, Communist China is giving no ground even as its rockets soar above us. The clear risk: Timid and visionless policy makers in the White House and Congress may well surrender the ultimate high ground to the butchers of Beijing. Greg Autry and Peter Navarro have been warning of this competition for more than a decade. Both were influential in the construction of America's triumphant space agenda during the Trump administration. In this book, they take you through the technology, economics, and history of this important topic and provide policy recommendations that will win the Space Race for America. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Order Newt's Latest Book: March to the Majority: The Real Story of the Republican Revolution!

As the popular narrative goes, the Civil War was won when courageous Yankees triumphed over the South. But an aspect of the war that has remained little-known for 160 years is the Alabamian Union soldiers who played a decisive role in the Civil War, only to be scrubbed from the history books. One such group was the First Alabama Calvary, formed in 1862. It went on raids that destroyed Confederate communications and also marched with Sherman's forces across the South. They aided the fall of Vicksburg and the burning of Atlanta.Today's guest is Howell Raines, author of “Silent Cavalry: How Union Soldiers from Alabama Helped Sherman Burn Atlanta—and Then Got Written Out of History.” As Raines has pieced together, Union General William Tecumseh Sherman's decisive effort to burn Atlanta was facilitated by an unsung regiment of 2,066 yeoman farmers and former slaves from Alabama—including at least one member of Raines's own family.So why have the best-known Civil War historians, including Ken Burns and Shelby Foote, given only passing – or no – attention to this regiment of southerners who chose to fight for the North – a regiment that General Sherman hailed as one of the finest in the Union? We explore this question through an account of Alabama's Mountain Unionists and their exploits, along with investigating why they and others like them were excised from the historical record.

On Friday, September 17, 1971, 10-year-old Pamela Kay Wills returns from Boyd Elementary School to her home in northern Jackson, Mississippi. That afternoon, Pamela and her friend, 11-year-old Patricia Ann Mizell, spend time together at Pamela's house. The two girls tell Pamela's father that they are going to walk the two-block journey to a nearby department store. Hours later, the Jackson Police Department is notified that Pamela and Patricia are missing. The ensuing investigation reveals little new information. It's unclear if that's due to a particularly careful child abductor or a lack of effort on behalf of the Jackson Police Department. On February 14th of 1975, two farmers discover the skeletal remains of Pamela and Patricia. They are located in a leafy ravine west of Vicksburg, Mississippi. In episode 280, Jac and Alexis unveil how two young girls vanished off the face of the Earth with zero explanation, few leads, and no evidence leading to their killer.
