    Up next we have Robert E. Lee's "Old War Horse" James Longstreet! Known as one of the best Generals on either side of the war, Longstreet played important roles in some of the most important battles. He is also one of the few that did quite well after the war, as well as one of the few Generals to live into the 1900s.

    Behind The Battles | George Meade
    Apr 18 2025
    This week on Behind The Battles, we cover the most successful General of the Army Of The Potomac, George Meade. Perhaps best known as commanding the army during the victory at Gettysburg, he did not have a good reputation with his higher ups and Grant stationed himself with Meade for the remainder of the war to keep an eye on him. We will cover his pre war life, his war time contributions and of course his later life and death.

It became most famous for the first ever battle of two ironclads in the world against the USS Monitor at the battle of Hampton Roads.

    On this episode, we cover what is perhaps the deadliest place you could be during the Civil War, Andersonville Prison near Andersonville, Georgia. It opened in February 1864 and housed Union prisoners of war. Around 28% of the prisoners held at the camp died, mostly to scurvy, diarrhea, and dysentery. It was one truly awful place.
