The Confederacy had a great opportunity to turn the Civil War in its favor in 1864 but squandered this chance when it failed to finish off a Union army cornered in Louisiana because of concerns about another Union army coming south from Arkansas The Confederates were so confused that they could not agree on a course of action to contend with both threats thus the Union offensive advancing from Arkansas saved the one in Louisiana and became known to history as the Camden Expedition The Camden Expedition is intriguing because of the mighthavebeens had the key players made different decisions The author contends that if Frederick Steele commander of the Federal VII Army Corps had not received a direct order from General Ulysses S Grant to move south disaster would have befallen not only the Army of the Gulf in Louisiana but the entire Union cause and possibly would have prevented Abraham Lincoln from winning reelection

In summer 1862 Minnesotans found themselves fighting interconnected warsthe first against the rebellious Southern states and the second an internal war against the Sioux While the Civil War was more important to the future of the United States the Dakota War of 1862 proved far more destructive to the people of Minnesotaboth whites and American Indians It led to US military action against the Sioux divided the Dakotas over whether to fight or not and left hundreds of white settlers dead In Columns of Vengeance historian Paul N Beck offers a reappraisal of the Punitive Expeditions of 1863 and 1864 the US Armys response to the Dakota War of 1862Whereas previous accounts have approached the Punitive Expeditions as a military campaign of the Indian Wars Beck argues that the expeditions were also an extension of the Civil War The strategy and tactics reflected those of the war in the East and Civil War operations directly affected planning and logistics in the West Beck also examines the devastating impact the expeditions had on the various bands and tribes of the Sioux Whites viewed the expeditions as punishmentcolumns of vengeance sent against those Dakotas who had started the war in 1862yet the majority of the Sioux the army encountered had little or nothing to do with the earlier uprising in MinnesotaRather than relying only on the official records of the commanding officers involved Beck presents a much fuller picture of the conflict by consulting the letters diaries and personal accounts of the common soldiers who took part in the expeditions as well as rare personal narratives from the Dakotas Drawing on a wealth of firsthand accounts and linking the Punitive Expeditions of 1863 and 1864 to the overall Civil War experience Columns of Vengeance offers fresh insight into an important chapter in the development of US military operations against the Sioux
