The Army of the Potomac - a great soap opera. So many ineffectual divas. McClellan, Pope, Burnside, Hooker, out of their depth. Lincoln doing his best with the tools he has. Lee is carefully amok, a raider. Grant and Sherman are waiting in the wings, preparing a victory. Slotkin is masterful, as usual.

"Most of Lee's men had been subsisting on unripe or uncooked corn and unripe fruit, which gave them the 'gripes' and the 'squitters.' Diarrhea and dysentery were endemic in the Rebel camps. After the fighting their abandoned battle lines could be traced in rows of loose and bloody feces."
