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.
The Battle of Port Gibson occurred on May 1, 1863, and resulted in the deaths of over 200 Union and Confederate soldiers. The battle was a turning point in the Confederates' ability to hold Mississippi and defend against an amphibious attack.
