Sabine Crossroads Battle Ends Federal Shreveport Bid
The April 1864 action at Sabine Crossroads near Shreveport, led by General Banks, halted Union plans to seize western Confederate territory. Ransom’s and Emory’s Federal forces fought a grueling rear-guard retreat as Confederate counterattacks under Kirby Smith and Tagler pressed from pine woods and swamp across the clearing. The engagement left about two thousand Union casualties and forced Banks to fall back toward Alexandria, marking a decisive Confederate stand in the Red River campaign.
