Today marks the anniversary of the Grand Review of the Armies of the Union.

Here's a nifty little musical piece: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bnv4UJ9eWyM&feature=related

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I  like the idea that bar fights were breaking out during arguments about which Union Army was superior.

I really liked the medley.  It gives the impression of different units marching by in parade with each piece of music.

Agreed.

Also, "Battle Hymn of the Republic" - great song!

QuoteUnlike Meade's army, which had more military precision, Sherman's Georgia force was trailed by a vast crowd of people who had accompanied the army up from Savannah—freed blacks, laborers, adventurers, scavengers, etc. At the very end was a vast herd of cattle and other livestock that had been taken from Carolina farms.
