General Polk Accidently Stumbles Into Enemy Lines #history #civilwar #union #confederate

This animated battle map breaks down the Confederate Kentucky Campaign. I'm tracking the armies of Braxton Bragg and Edmund Kirby Smith as they moved north, and how the Union responded under Don Carlos Buell. You'll see how timing, the lay of the land, and teamwork (or a lack of it) really shaped what happened. What started out looking like a sure thing slowly fell apart into a tangled mess.

It's a story of victories, defeats, and decisions that had a ripple effect way beyond the battlefield.

Some campaigns are famous for what they accomplished. Others...are remembered for what went wrong.

This video ends the Battle of Perryville.
