Summary:
The narrative lists a number of Confederate defeats in the Civil War's western theater, and attributes them not to the enemy, but to the incompetence of Southern generals whose commands were bestowed on them by the "absolute caste system" of the Old South (276). Chronologically, the battles cited are "Corinth" - Mississippi, 1862; "Vicksburg" - Mississippi, 1863; "Chickamauga" - Georgia, 1863; "Atlanta" - Georgia, 1864; "Franklin" - Tennessee, 1864.
