Failed to drive ahead-for reasons good and bad. Buell, Halleck, Beauregard Albert Sidney Johnston.
After these first tests at arms, reputations began to crumble. The earliest engagements were halting and inconclusive. As the buildup began, there were maddening delays. Cautious generals inexperienced, incompetent, or jealous administrators shortages of good people and supplies excess of both gloom and optimism, kept each side from swinging into decisive action. At first, it was not even much of a fight.
Lincoln kept insisting, a fight to reunite the United States. It was not initially a war against slavery. And then the author reveals how the sweeping force of all-out conflict changed the war’s purpose, in turning it into a war for human freedom. This would not be the neat, short, “limited” war both sides had envisioned. First, he describes how the war slowly but steadily got out of control. In Terrible Swift Sword, Bruce Catton tells the story of the Civil War as never before-of two turning points which changed the scope and meaning of the war. The second episode in this award-winning trilogy impressively shows how the Union and Confederacy, slowly and inexorably, reconciled themselves to an all-out war-an epic struggle for freedom.
