Monocacy Battle Viewed as Turning Point in Civil War
Ranger John Baker recounts the 1864 Battle of Monocacy where Union Gen Lew Wallace faced Jubal Early’s 15,000. Although Washington defense delayed, Wallace’s 2,800 militiamen and 3,000 Sixth Corps troops failed, leaving 1,200 Union casualties and 700–900 Confederate dead. The stand bought time for reinforcements and possibly altered Lincoln’s reelection dynamics.
