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.

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.

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

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