We head back to the battlefield to explore the military history of the American Civil War in 1864 and how the North and South approached what would be a bloody and transformative year in the war. We'll look at the evolution of the ends, ways and means of Northern and Southern strategy in 1864 and the course, conduct and result of major operations. We'll delve into strategic and political contexts that shaped military operations in Virginia, Tennessee and elsewhere, as well as the leaders, such as Abraham Lincoln, Jefferson Davis, Philip Sheridan, Jubal Early, Braxton Bragg, Samuel Curtis, Robert E. Lee, William T. Sherman and Ulysses S. Grant, whose decisions and leadership shaped their plans, oversight and outcome. *Please note: this class will be offered as a hybrid but will not be recorded, at the request of the instructor.*
