The Army of Potomac

"Wake up!" My eyes slowly opened and cold cockroaches appeared in my stomach. This morning is the moment when alliances engineers were preparing to cross the bridge to Fredericksburg and then head for the southern capital Richmond. In my mind, I know things will fail - but as a personal member of the Potomac Allied Force, I must be firm. I got up slowly and heard snore with me.

One of the inspirations of Carl, the Lincoln Army of Bruscaston (1962; "Army of the Potomac Trilogy", Volume 1) records the struggle between the early days of the civil war and the Virginia army and the Potomac Army doing. . The Potomac Army experienced a hard struggle from a beginner group to a professional army. As Andrew did, Card uses it to show another aspect of childhood, a fight between intelligence and fear. Ender killed Stillson and Bonzo, but he killed without realizing that he did everything else, his behavior was accurate, he got the result he wanted. Fear-led response to sniper, the whirlwind was not so fierce, he even did not even see the results, just doubted them. Fear of pushing intelligence to the back seat is a reasonable explanation for childhood.

Starting with the story of the ball and cavalry attack, Caton tried to record a story of the fight between the Potomac army and the North Virginia army. When Ulysses S. Grant completely ordered allied troops, the work really started. In the future, this small and unobtrusive Westerner also told me that the Potomac Army formed a spectacular but poorly-performing army into an effective fighting vehicle redeemable in future battles. yourself. After all, Carton drew a grant, he became a bigger hero than ever. Likewise, the depiction of Sheridan by Caton is a little heroic and sometimes seems sublime. However, there is no obvious bias in the text.
