Thanks to Rob for the opportunity to chat and appear on Bloggingheads.tv. Welcome to those of you visiting from BTV. I hope you will stick around for a while and explore the site.

Regarding your speculations about Lee’s motivations for attacking a well fortified position in a northern state, I’d add that I think Jefferson Davis and an older brother of his personally owned substantial plantation holdings not far south of Vicksburg that I would imagine were severely depleted of slaves by the 4th of July in 1863.
No doubt.
