One of the two most brilliant strategic campaigns ever conducted in North America. And probably the best.

And yet most textbooks only mention the siege and largely ignore the campaign that led to it in the first place.

“One of the two most brilliant strategic campaigns ever conducted in North America.”

In your opinion, what was the other one? Grant’s Overland Campaign in 1864?

Since you are so smart why don't you tell us about

Grant's Road,,,(the one in Louisiana),,,

AFTER the slaves were set FREE hundreds of Blacks died

to build a road through the swamp NE of Ferriday,La.,,,

It made supplies easy to get North to South,,,

Dr.Miller’ plantation,,,

I learned to drive my Dad's Jeep on Grant's Road,,,

Grant was a Butcher,,,

He killed many civilians that had no cover...
