On This Date in 1964.

14,000 Confederate troops under General Richard Taylor thwart Yankee's Red River Campaign, which consisted of about 40,000 troops. This was the last major Confederate victory in the War of Northern Aggression.

The south would have won if so many of them didn't have to go to 'Nam.

The civil war was longer than I had originally believed.

1964

The little known 100 years Mansfield war.

But could not finish off the Union Army the next day at the battle of Pleasant Hill. The Federals were able to retreat back down the Red River Valley to Ellick, where the Naval component of the expedition was stranded by low water. A Union army engineer named Bailey built a temporary dam which raised the water level enough for the steamboats to float over the shoals and escape. The campaign was a failure for the Union, but not the disaster it might have been.

"In 1964 my father went to war
he pulled the trigger
shot a (Yankee)
and that was the end of the war"

Thank God. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to land on the moon five years later

I knew a kid at LSU by the name of Mouton.

Really makes you think.

I didn't realize this was going on in 1964

It was a long battle. Mansfield had few communications with the outside world.
