Summary. : After losing Galveston to Union troops in October 1862, the Confederacy was more determined than ever to recapture one of its most important ports. At 3:00 am on New Year’s Day, 1863, four Confederate gunboats appeared, coming down the bay toward Galveston. Soon afterward, the Rebels also began a land attack. Confederate troops killed most of the Union forces in Galveston and also captured many Union ships. Union forces even blew up one of their own ships to prevent it from being captured by the Confederates. By 10:00 am, Galveston was in Confederate hands again, although the Union blockade would limit trade in and out of the harbor. Write a thesis statement that answers the following prompt.

Following William T. Sherman�s capture of Chattanooga, the Union Army initiated a series of battles and operations that took it from the Tennessee border to the outskirts of Atlanta�with bloody confrontations at places such as Resaca and New Hope Church. Grant had ordered Sherman to penetrate the enemy�s interior and inflict �all the damage you can against their War resources,� and from the first major engagement at Rocky Face Ridge to the bitter standoff at Kennesaw Mountain, Sherman proceeded to do just that.This latest in the Army War College Guides to Civil War Battles offers a concise and easy-to-use introduction to Sherman�s route, focusing on this first and most critical phase of the Atlanta campaign. The Guide to the Atlanta Campaign leads visitors to all of the pertinent sites�Dug Gap, Adairsville, Pickett�s Mill, and more�to help them relive the experiences of battle-hardened troops on the ground. Authors Luvaas and Nelson show respect for both sides of the fighting, but especially convey Sherman�s special genius in mastering the logistical challenges that confronted him, moving reinforcements and supplies, and directing diverse offensive actions over immense�and immensely hostile�territory.Like previous guides in the series, this volume helps Civil War enthusiasts vividly envision the actual historical setting. It combines official histories and on-the-scene reports, orders, and letters from commanding officers, and it features specially drawn maps that depict the opposing armies and the terrain in which they fought. It also includes easy-to-follow drive-and-stop maps that guide visitors along and just off Interstate 75, with the stops arranged to present the most important phases of the campaign as it developed. And this book supersedes most previous guides by moving beyond battles to more broadly consider the overall campaign.The guide culminates with the battle of Kennesaw Mountain (urban growth beyond that battlefield precludes a tour), and also provides full coverage of the operational and strategic decisions that led to Sherman�s ultimate victory at Atlanta. It will become an essential traveling companion for visitors to these Civil War sites�and an insightful guide for armchair travelers. Here at last is the long-anticipated revised edition of one of the most respected and popular guides to the Gettysburg National Military Park. The authors have made significant changes to the guide, addressing alterations to the park during the past fifteen years and adding new information and improved maps that enrich park visitors\' understanding of one of the bloodiest and most momentous battles in American history.A compact but richly detailed volume depicting the events of the Battle of Gettysburg day-by-day and hour-by-hour, the guide retains its signature blend of official reports, commanding officers\' observations, and terrain descriptions, as well as easy-to-use maps that allow park visitors to follow the battle as it actually unfolded. For the new edition, the authors provide double the number of maps-this time by master cartographer Steven Stanley-to effectively track directional changes for visitors driving through the park. They include new sections highlighting the strategic and operational context for the Gettysburg campaign and providing background about Lee\'s decision to invade Pennsylvania. They have also added new information about the cavalry battle on Day 3 and the decisions and actions of General Meade, and the Capabilities and Doctrine appendix now addresses more fully the evolution of cavalry tactics in the battle\'s aftermath. The new volume also features for the first time a useful appendix on logistics, which illuminates one of the army commander\'s most challenging tasks, sustaining the force during the campaign.
