Pensacola & the American Revolution in the Southwest In 1779, Louisiana was a remote colony far from the centers of power of the Spanish Empire. Ceded to Spain by the French after the Seven Years War, the Spanish saw it as a defensive barrier protecting their more valuable colonies to the south. Over the next two years, however, Louisiana and the Gulf coast became a critical theater in the American Revolution. Here is our analysis of that strategic evolution. Feature articles including: Battle of the Bagradas River: 255 BC, Romanian Disaster at Stalingrad, Battle for Hill 108

Grant’s Overland Campaign, May-June, 1864: The Union Army of the Potomac's hard-fought campaign from the tangled forest of the Wilderness just south of the Rapidan River to the James River in the spring and summer of 1864 was the climatic struggle in Virginia during the American Civil War. Hard fought military operations such as the Wilderness (May 5-6), Spotsylvania (May 7-12), the North Anna (May 13-25), and Cold Harbor (May 26-3) traced the bloody path that would ultimately lead Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia to defend the Confederate capital of Richmond, thus forfeiting the advantage of maneuver to counter the Army of the Potomac's superiority in numbers and material.
