  • Trouble Staying on Topic

    Civil War Talk Radio has excellent shows with amazing guest! Gerry has trouble getting to and staying on topic. Large amounts of the show have nothing to do with the subject matter. With that being said, the history itself is amazing!

Q: What happens if Early had managed to capture part of Washington?
If Early captured Washington, it could have undermined the Union's ability to wage war, potentially embarrassed Lincoln, and empowered politicians favoring a negotiation with the South.
