The Union simply had too many men and resources at their disposal.

Ok, you got me.
We can agree he wasn't fighting for some "righteous cause"

There is a small cemetery near my farm that has some confederate graves from Shilo in it. It is in Gainsville AL and was at the time of the war it was a decent sized city and had major railroads and the river port.
All the graves are unmarked except for a couple of officers. The cannon in the picture was N B Forrest's. He surrendered there. Prior to his surrender his men supposedly buried their weapons with the hope they could recover them if the south rose again. The cannon was dumped in the river and remained there for several years before being brought out and placed in the cemetery.

Who credited them with turning the tide of the war? Not to discredit black soldiers but were they ever more than a small force within much larger armies. Just finished reading the 1864 battle of the Wilderness by Steere. Very large, late war battle with Grant in command and there was only a single colored division present and it did not participate in the battle despite the mass of both armies fighting to absolute bloody exhaustion.

However he told Beauregard the plan to write it up and Beauregard went away from sectors back to successive lines.
My memory is getting fuzzy but I thought it's thought Johnston left it up to Bureaugard instead of giving any instruction and Bureaugard was too hung up and fascinated with Napoleon and therefore copied some of his elaborate actions

Johnston was at the head of the army but Beauregard planned the battle.

quote:Your point is well taken & it was Abe Lincoln( a politician) who claimed Black soldiers turned the tide of the war . Though most of the 200k were support troops its shocking how dismissive of them some are in favor of combat troops. You cant wage a war without support troops. Historian James McPherson also believed this:

"Weighed in the scale of the Civil War these 190k soldiers ( probably a larger number of Black laborers) tipped the balance in favor of a Union victory".
