サマリー
あらすじ・解説
In the heart of Mississippi, a small town named Raymond stood unassuming, nestled amidst the verdant landscapes of rolling hills and languid creeks. Yet, the tranquility of this southern township was destined to be shattered as it became the stage for one of the most crucial battles of the American Civil War - the Battle of Raymond.
Join us as we take a deep dive into the intricate tapestry of events that culminated in this pivotal battle. It was here in Raymond that Union General James B. McPherson and Confederate General John Gregg led their forces into a face-off that would dramatically influence the Union's strategic objectives and the Confederate South's will to fight.
Our story unfolds with vivid details about the political tensions simmering in the Confederate South, the Union's objectives in the Mississippi Valley, and the instrumental figures steering the course of history. The story further examines the Union's strategic advances, the mistakes and misjudgments by Confederate intelligence, and the life in Raymond as it stood on the precipice of a war that would indelibly mark its history.
