Episode 2: Lincoln's General
Ben Meyers’ Rating: 4.3|5.0 Starsìììì
Lincoln's General—Grant's Presidential Appointment—allows him to make mostly independent military decisions to strategically divide Southern interests, movement of provisions, troops, and develop best plans for defeating the South. Watch for great reenactments and good documentations of initial war movement.
Storyline
Ulysses S. Grant commands troops on the Union side against the Confederate side of the Civil War.
