  • Humorously known as the man who could never find the perfect situation to attack, Joseph E. Johnston was loved by his men, but criticized by his contemporaries, like Jefferson Davis. Nevertheless, Johnston was the highest ranking United States officer to join the Confederacy and he commanded both of the Confederacy's principle field armies, the Army of Northern Virginia and the Army of Tennessee.

    you are doing a masterful job of bringing back to a sort of life,
    the men who fought each other in this most terrible of US wars.

    officers like Johnston,Mahone and Mosby were the confederate epitome of "its not the size of the dog in the fight but the fight in the dog". Something about being 5'6 and 100lbs made them like terminator in a gunfight

    "Johnston couldn't cut his way to Pemberton, but Pemberton could cut his way to Johnston" Johnston retreated from Jackson on the Canton Road, but he could have instead retreated on the Livingston Road to Livingston, which had direct roads to Clinton, Bolton, and Edwards Station. Johnston could have easily reached Pemberton. Let's face it, Johnston's order for Pemberton to come out of the defenses and attack Grant while Johnston ran the opposite direction was dumb as a box of rocks unless it was intended as a way to order Pemberton to abandon Vicksburg without actually ordering Pemberton to abandon Vicksburg.

      ​@@HistoryGoneWilderJust started the video, but I think this does him a disservice. His position when assuming command of the Army of Tennessee was untenable: not enough troops to attack, and Sherman kept trying to circle around his line. If he had stayed, his troops would have been annihilated (as John Bell Hood so efficiently demonstrated.)

      It's difficult to say what he should have done. It's easy to judge him 160 years later,in hindsight

    22:47 - Michigander here. It's "Mack-eh-naw," not "Mack-eh-nack." Understandable, common, but always very jarring mistake. But say that here and we will laaaaaaaaaaugh at you lol
