By James Ford Rhodes

Book Overview

Excerpt from History of the United States From the Compromise of 1850 to the McKinley-Bryan Campaign of 1896, Vol. 5 Chickamauga; in 1864 the check to Grant in his Vir ginia campaign was more than compensated for by Far ragut's victory in Mobile Bay, Sherman's successful campaign from Chattanooga to Atlanta and Sheridan's victories in the Shenandoah Valley. The re-election of Lincoln November 8, 1864 dispelled the illusion that the contest could be ended in any other way than by the complete overthrow of the military power of the South.
