“I TREMBLE FOR THE RESULT” — WHAT SHERMAN TOLD GRANT BEFORE VICKSBURG

What did William Tecumseh Sherman really tell Ulysses S. Grant before the Vicksburg Campaign? In May 1863, before the historic Mississippi River crossing at Bruinsburg, Sherman warned Grant that the plan was too dangerous and admitted, “I tremble for the result.” This Civil War history documentary explores the dramatic story behind the Vicksburg Campaign, Grant’s bold military strategy, Sherman’s doubts, and how one of the most audacious operations in American history changed the friendship between two legendary Union generals. From the failed winter campaigns and Chickasaw Bayou disaster to the daring river crossing at Bruinsburg, Mississippi, this story reveals how Grant ignored military convention to achieve victory. #CivilWarHistory #UlyssesSGrant #VicksburgCampaign
