    Again, I can't thank you enough. What a great summation of a monumental struggle. Also, great to see Sarah IN FRONT of the camera. I hope to see more from her.

    Thanks from a Canadian Civil War history fan. I've been reading about it since a boy and I'm 60 now.

    These were the battles that spelled the end ! Lee's forces were being bleed out!
  • @cmdrflake
    If there’s any place that embodies the futility of war, this campaign is an excellent example. Lee lost too many men he couldn’t replace. Grant knew that and exploited it for the final year of the war.
