CSPAN3 Politics Public Policy Today August 19, 2014

I cant remember when i first saw the picture, and i certainly did not know where cold harbor was at the time. Im sure i thought it was a port town somewhere in virginia. I may not remember in which book i first saw the photograph, but i know that immediately and lastingly linked the words cold harbor and death in my mind. In subsequent years, i came to read more about the events of the spring of 1864 that culminated at cold harbor, that deadly slog from the rapid ann to the james that saw the u. S. Suffer 50,000 casualties, in the confederacy, another 30,000plus, the bloodiest six weeks of the war. I learned of the thousands who fell in the Early Morning on june 3rd. And i do know that there are differing schools of thought about what that number was. I learned that ulysses s. Grant would harbor terrible regrets about his decisions at cold harbor to the very end of his days. And i learned that even in a war in which the military an ....

Years after the war, that is filled with literary inventions. I suspect that is one of his many literary inventions. Its true that soldiers of the army of the potomac had done that before in earlier battles. This would be in november of 1863. But theres no evidence that it actually happened here at cold harbor. But everybody knew it was going to be a fierce and terrible day. 4 30 a. M. , the signal gun goes off, and this huge union monolith heaves forward. Or parts of it do. Thats the sad thing about the battle of cold harbor. Down on the lower end of the battlefield, general hancocks second corps punches forward. Across from them at one spot, they make a breakthrough in a salient in the federal line where general breckenridge is positioned. But lee has a lot of reserves. One myth is that lee did not have reserves, that his line was thin. Thats not true. Some parts of the confederate line this entire divisions behind them and that was the position on the lower end of the battlefield wh ....

CSPAN3 Battle Of Cold Harbor 150th Anniversary August 19, 2014

The battlefields are quiet and even alluring today. It is the notion that the men who fought here believed in something truly worth suffering and dying for. That draws us to this place. For each of us has we leave from here this evening we depart with the sacred responsibility to remember those who fell here and to ponder each for ourselves how we can properly honor those sack river ices and the legacy of what happened here. To them we owe a great debt. Two years ago we concluded each of our sevenqru days battle commemorations with a solution to the soldiers. We will do so tonight. It is moving and deeply appropriate at this place and time. It is for them. Ladies and gentlemen, that ends our formal program tonight. I want to thank you all for being with us. It didnt end the commemoration of the 150thharbor. I believe the church has been so kind to display the 16 pages of upcoming events. Thank you again from making the switch from cold harbor to fa fairmont. Were so grateful for all th ....

CSPAN3 Key Capitol Hill Hearings August 19, 2014

Can take petersburg, cut the supply line to the army in Northern Virginia, and finally defeat lee. The union plan works like clock work. Sheridan heads off on his raid. It will end disastrously at the battle of torrian station, but it serves its purpose for the time. And on the morning of the 13th of june, lee and his men look across and discover that the union earth works are empty. Grant once again has managed to pull his army away without lee figuring out what had happened. The union army swings south, down to the james river. Grant intends to cross. But lee does not understand what grant means to do. Lee thinks that what grant might be preparing to do is to swing back toward Richmond North of the james river. So lee stays here at cold harbor, sends some of his soldiers to the south, but doesnt do a major shift, because, again, hes uncertain as to what grant will do. We ....
