Re: Starz v.s. Showtime. movie channels except for HBO (for original series) are a waste of money. They show the same movies over and over.
The Battle of Cold Harbor was a major defeat for the Union. The North suffered about 13,000 total casualties to the South's approximately 2,500. Morale was low; the troops were tired. Even Grant seemed depressed.
As the two forces skirmished on May 31, Lee sent Major General Robert Hoke's division as well as Major General Richard Anderson's First Corps to Old Cold Harbor. Around 4:00 PM, Union cavalry under Brigadier General Alfred Torbert and David Gregg succeeded in driving the Confederates from the crossroads.
