Grant plans bold East campaign to seize Richmond
Dispatches from Washington state report Grant’s plan of operations aims to outpace and encircle Lee’s forces with a deep army. He leads an army rumored at over 100 000, poised behind Richmond’s rear, while Vicksburg has fallen under pursuit. The press notes fierce fighting, a forthcoming campaign, and calls for decisive action as the capital prepares for a pivotal assault on Confederate defenses. The Port Pillow inquiry concludes atrocities against Black civilians were worse than first feared, with reports of alive burnings and murder. The public expects harsh retaliation, and the nation weighs the cost of victory.
