    Lloyd Tilghman was exchanged in August, 1862, for John Reynolds. Reynolds was captured at Gaines Mill, the same Reynolds who was later shot & killed by a sharpshooter at Gettysburg. After the exchange, Tilghman was posted at Vicksburg. At Champion Hill, in June, 1863, Tilghman was struck & killed by artillery fire.

    bitterly persecuted = murdered in mass with no trial or anything. Not just known by Davies but ordered.
    Also good to know that Halleck didn't like Grant. Up to the point when Grant became his boss, then he was cool with him... Reading into it, the bickering between Generals in both armies is amazing. Grant was a rare exception. Mostly.

      It's special. The confederates never saw the big picture. General Lee thought fighting the army of the potomac was a good idea when he should have ran at gettysburg. He was only 60 miles out of virginia. They marched out of virginia carrying only 60 rounds per man.
      Imagine how much fire power floated on union ships compared to what a man can march with?

    This battle and the taking of Ft. Donelson were of monumental importance. Grant had the wherewithal to see that and wasted no time in seizing these forts. Ft. Henry was poorly laid out to begin with and was an easy mark.

      You probably never will from warhawk. Good creator . . . yet hung up on the mighty Union . . . never mind that they were the aggressors . . . invaders of a sovereign nation (the CSA) and no different than someone like Hitler invading Czech. and Poland or Stalin taking the Baltic States. Some day History will be corrected and the idea of the USA willing to decimate the southern peoples because they were powerful enough to do so will be acknowledged. It was all about the land. If they had to kill off all the Southern White people to reclaim the land, then they would happily do so. (Not a southerner . . . I'm from the northern USA who believes in telling the truth)

      But yeah. Grant was a political general too since he was appointed by a politician. Lmao. Sherman received his commission from Lincoln so he was a political general too. So was McClellan by the videographers defunition.

      Reay: for the last time neither Halleck or Grant were political generals. Both were West Point trained. A political general is one who was appointed by a civil to military command without any previous military training.
      Try reading what I wrote.
      If the narrator, or anyone else, thinks Halleck is a political general is just plain wrong. Done arguing a silly point. Thanks.

    An interesting and well-researched depiction of the batle, but rendered more of an embarrassment concerning the butchery of the King's English by the narrator. Sorry, but as a teacher of syntax, diction, and such, it is hard to ignore such an example of what happens when phonics is abandoned as it has been by the public school system for several decades. The illiterate aren't even aware of how they were shortchanged. An "A" for effort and graphics, but...
