TIMES
At the July 2nd, 1863, council of war at Gettysburg, Major General John Newton, representing the I Corps, initially expressed concern about the battlefield position, stating that Gettysburg was “a bad position” and that “Cemetery Hill was no place to fight a battle in”. However, after a discussion on the risks of retreating, Newton ultimately agreed with the majority and supported remaining on the field, aligning with the decision to stay and fight. His initial assessment was based on the strategic danger of Lee turning the Federal left and isolating the army from its supplies.Reality is had what his name - the fella with the cavalry done proper scouting then Gettysburg would have been the end of the efforts to stop the south from seceding as the founders said was the "right" of any state.
J.E.B. Stuart was the Confederate cavalry leader during the Battle of Gettysburg, commanding the cavalry wing of the Army of Northern Virginia. His absence during the critical early stages of the campaign, as he conducted a controversial ride around the Union Army of the Potomac, left General Robert E. Lee without vital intelligence on Union troop movements and positions. Stuart's cavalry did not arrive at the battlefield until the second day of the battle, July 2, 1863, and was subsequently defeated by Union cavalry under George Custer in a skirmish three miles east of Gettysburg on July 3. This failure to provide reconnaissance is considered one of the most debated aspects of the campaign, contributing significantly to the Confederate defeat.Well - his galivanting around really sort of lost the battle - and then things got testy - at Little Big Top and elsewhere....and one failure led to another Ned.
Little Round Top was the site of a critical engagement on July 2, 1863, where Union forces, including the 20th Maine Regiment led by Colonel Joshua Chamberlain, successfully defended the hill against Confederate assaults. Their famous bayonet charge helped secure the Union left flank.oh man - how stupid the ai is....
Introduction: The 'NY General' at Gettysburg The "New York general" who nearly jeopardized the Union position at the Battle of Gettysburg was Major General Daniel E. Sickles. A controversial and politically powerful figure from New York, Sickles commanded the III Corps of the Army of the Potomac during the battle. His unauthorized decision to move his troops forward on the second day of the battle created a dangerous salient in the Union line—yet, paradoxically, it may have contributed to the Confederate defeatSometimes history repeats but usually fools like Sickles screw it all up.....just like Jeb Stewart did when he didn't do his scouting job proper.
At the Battle of Gettysburg Union General Newton said to commander General Meade that the enemy had "beaten us unto a position from which we cannot be whipped". This is Russia in the Ukraine.Uh - this comment has been edited - after the fact seems to me...but whatever Ned - good scouting is critical in any conflict - and chasing this and that is not worthwhile behavior.
The arctic area around the Baltic Sea is really the domain of resolute forces I think - and Greenland - who owns that place? Is it Denmark for goodness sake - how did they come to be the owner?
As for the us of a - they really are most confused seems to me....and Alaska - maybe Russia ought take it back for Christ's sake - that way the whole Arctic area would be under their authority - and they got the ice-breakers to explore it - and what does the us of a have?
Seems like nothing but a twice twisted double-talking NY real estate mogul - out of his league.
