The Red River Campaign should never have happened. Poor Porter! He and his fleet went through so much unnecessary suffering as did the forces under Bank's command. I have no doubt Taylor never forgave Smith for not letting him pursue the retreating Federals with more forces and remained bitter toward him for the rest of their days. As for the Federals, what a waste of men and resources. Bank's already bad reputation was made worse by this disaster. The biggest lesson to be learned from this: never let a politician with no military experience be in command of a major operation!
I have always wondered if the Federal ignored Texas and further west, would the Confederates been able to gather their forces, take over Texas and renewed the war from the west. Thinking out loud though, I feel like the rough terrain and having to deal with the Indians might have made it difficult to build a substantial army.
The narrator should learn the pronunciation of place names in Louisiana before creating videos. This goes for everyone! Locals laugh and scorn non-locals on butchering these( alphabet spelt) words. There are no long distance charges on calling to get the proper pronunciation, (chamber of commerce,city hall,or other local municipal businesses). It doesn't make a person dumber, in fact it should show their intelligence by asking. There are no dumb questions, only idiotic answers!
I can't believe you don't have more followers. I love your channel.
Thank you, I appreciate your support!

Thanks for the feedback! I went and looked at all your videos and alas, not a single mispronounced word! WTG!!!!
