Following the bloody yet decisive Federal victory at the Battle of Shiloh on April 6th - 7th, Union Major General Henry Wager Halleck begins formulating a plan for his Department of the Mississippi and its three subordinate armies under Grant, Buell, and Pope to seize Corinth, Mississippi - the “Crossroads of the Confederacy.” If Halleck’s forces can capture this crucial railroad junction - one of the only rail links to the Eastern Theater in the West - it would help secure Union rail lines in the area and cripple the Confederacy’s ability to move troops around the various theaters of war. But the overcautious Halleck soon settles into a siege around Corinth, wishing to avoid repeating the bloodletting of Shiloh and thus allowing Confederate General P. G. T. Beauregard time to try and evacuate his forces from the Army of Mississippi out of Corinth before they are surrounded and destroyed.

Halleck looks like the sort of general who might say "Be vewy quiet! I'm hunting wabbits-I mean, webels!"

I was hoping Epic History TV would do a series on the American Civil War, but I'm happy to see you taking up the burden.

Halleck is the guy arguing on the battlefield about people not being in line to get ammunition while the Zulus are five feet away.

Halleck - I came, I saw, I conquered.

Grant - The fuck you you did!

great job once again my friends. The western theater is always overlooked mostly, I believe, because of all the Union success there.

Corinth and the Mine Run Campaign were the two great "what if's"of the Civil War

Quite an excellent episode, as per usual.
Only 18 days until Bragg takes command of the army, and once that happens, all shall be absolutely fantastic.
