  About this episode:  In the aftermath of the great and bloody battle of Shiloh, we pick up with the life and career of William Tecumseh Sherman. His personal journey continues to be one that spans the vast spectrum that comprises life itself - ups and downs, triumphs and defeats. In this episode, we speak of his command of the Union's Western Theater and its campaigns, his post-war rise to General-in-Chief and, after retirement, his time as citizen. Through all, he was larger than life and no stranger to complexity and controversy. Now, in Part II, we continue the deeply-layered story that is William Tecumseh Sherman.      ----more---- Some Characters Mentioned In This Episode: Edwin Stanton Ulysses S.

It marked the end of the Union's successful Chickamauga Campaign and became the bloodiest battle of the Western Theater, with about 34,000 total casualties. After two days of fierce fighting, Confederate troops broke through the Union line, forcing Rosecrans' army to retreat to Chattanooga.Check out the Civil War Breakfast Club here

From his rise in Arkansas politics to commanding troops in the Western Theater during the Civil War, Hindman's career was marked by ambition, conflict, and controversy. His life came to a violent end, leaving behind a legacy as one of the Confederacy's most aggressive—and divisive—figures.Subscribe to our YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/@bangdangnetwork

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageWhat if the pivotal re-election of Abraham Lincoln in 1864 was filled with more drama and strategy than a political thriller? Join us as we unravel the layers of Lincoln's campaign, marked by the profound challenges of preserving the Union during the Civil War some 160 years ago. We reflect on how Lincoln's indomitable spirit and strategic moves, such as backing General Grant and leveraging General Sherman's capture of Atlanta, secured his political triumph. Drawing from Charles Bracelen Flood's "1864: Lincoln at the Gates of History,"  we explore the human side of Lincoln, detailing his personal losses and resilience. His journey reminds us of the enduring fight for justice and equality, a legacy that would inspire future leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. Join us for an exploration of Lincoln's legacy, as relevant today as it was back then, in shaping a more perfect union.Key Points from the Episode:Explore his strategic brilliance through the Emancipation Proclamation and economic policies that held the nation together, amidst the chaos of battle and internal strife. We promise you'll gain insights into how Lincoln's leadership qualities transformed a nation on the brink.Discover the intricacies of General Lee's bold invasion of the North and how his defeat at Gettysburg shaped the political landscape. Lincoln's frustration with his generals, particularly with General Meade's hesitance, reveals much about the pressures he faced. Yet, victories in the Western Theater under General Grant played a crucial role in tipping the scales in Lincoln's favor, impacting both the war's outcome and his re-election prospects. Listen in as we navigate through these military strategies and the administrative hurdles Lincoln overcame.Other resources: Want to leave a review?

Today's Destination: Chickamauga National Park: Part 2 of Chattanooga episode. Today's Misstep- Driving over hills, a tire came at us Travel Advice: What exercises should I do when I travel?   FAQ: What do you wish you knew before booking your flight?   Response: A few more questions you can ask someone before you plan your trip are:  Did you experience any frustrations related to the destination or the actual traveling? If so, what should people be aware of to avoid those frustrations, hopefully? What websites or services were the most helpful for planning/booking your trip? What advice would you give someone going there for the first time? What was the most enjoyable or relaxing part of your trip?   Today's destination: Chickamauga National Park Part 2 of the Chattanooga series It's officially called Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park near Lookout Mountain. Use your National Park Pass for free entry. http://cityofchickamauga.org/ When I first visited Point Park, I explored this area on the border of Georgia and Tennessee for about an hour. It's across from the visitor center and was built by the Army Corps of Engineers.  You can see artillery from the Confederate fighting. The Battle of Chickamauga, fought September 19–20, 1863, marked the end of a Union offensive in southeastern Tennessee and northwestern Georgia called the Chickamauga Campaign. The battle was the most significant Union defeat in the Western Theater of the American Civil War. It involved the second-highest number of casualties in the war, following the Battle of Gettysburg. It was the first major battle of the war in Georgia. The battle was fought between the Army of the Cumberland under Maj. Gen. William Rosecrans and the Confederate Army of Tennessee under Gen. Braxton Bragg, and was named for Chickamauga Creek, which meanders near the battle area in northwest Georgia (and ultimately flows into the Tennessee River about 3.5 miles (5.6 km) northeast of downtown Chattanooga) There is also a monument to peace, The New York Peace Monument, symbolizing reunification and reconciliation.    http://cityofchickamauga.org/about-history-chickamaugabattlefield.asp Look for marble and pink granite materials. Visit the museum at Ochs Memorial Observatory for views of the Chattanooga area from the terrace. You can continue hiking the trails to other scenic views from Lookout Mountain. I first visited this area on a bus trip with my high school friends in the 1970s, and this was my first visit to return.  I drove the two hours from Atlanta through some small towns and highways and finally to some neighborhoods and scenic drives. When you get to the neighborhood, you will drive on windy roads that take your breath away.  This is a Step 1 or Step 2 destination and easy to explore independently. There is also a cute Visitor Center with restrooms and a small museum. The awe-inspiring view from Lookout Mountain Battlefield over Point Park shows a bird' s-eye view of the Tennessee River and how it bends, a bit like a foot at the ankle. You see the city of Chattanooga from above when you go around the bend. You can even see the three bridges that cross the river to the town. The battlefield here was memorable, and you can follow the signs for the Chickamauga Battlefield Tour. Or you can just enjoy walking the grounds around the peace monument and listening to the birds chirping. It's an excellent way to enjoy your day in Georgia or Tennessee.   http://cityofchickamauga.org/about-history-trainmuseum.asp Today's Misstep- Driving on the road over hills, a tire came rolling at us and hit our car. You're generally safe from tires in a car, but this tire stopped us. We hit the tire and could not drive any further. We got a tow truck to bring the car home, about 200 miles away. It was an expensive tow, and I hope you don't have that experience.  Today's Travel Advice- What exercises should I do when I travel? Try to stay as active as you are when home, which means you should try to maintain the same levels of activities, even if you are on the road a lot. You may need to take frequent breaks in your drive to stretch, walk a bit, and even do more intensive exercise. Stretch every two hours on a plane or train. I try to find a pool where I can swim anytime I travel. I am a member of the YMCA, where I can go anytime. There are more than 2700 YMCAs in the USA and also in 120 countries around the world.

The American Revolution and its War for Independence comprised the United States' founding movement. The War for Independence also served as the fifth major war for European empire in North America. The fourth war for European empire, the Seven Years' War, reshaped and redefined Europe's worldwide colonial landscape in Great Britain's favor. The American Revolutionary War presented Britain's European rivals with an opportunity to regain some of the territory they had lost. An opportunity we can see those rivals seizing in the Revolutionary War's Western Theater. Stephen Kling, Jr., is the author and co-author of several books and articles about the American Revolution in the West. His latest book, The American Revolutionary War in the West, has served as the basis for a museum exhibit at the St. Charles County Heritage Museum in St. Peters, Missouri. Stephen joins us as our expert guide on our expedition through the Revolution's Western Theater.
