The entire 2 year long Vicksburg Campaign in 100 words or less!
Battle of Brice's Crossroads
June 10, 1864
When the ground in June in Mississippi suddenly decides to become one big steamy sordid theological disaster -
it happens!
But this is actually a good thing. Because then when two groups of individuals endeavor to clash in this infernal mess and the clash involves a great deal of physical exertion inevitably one of the two groups will 'wilt' soon on and this necessitates a quick retreat on their part which, happily, prevents a long drawn out mutual and bloody slaughter. And a costly one at that.
So stop complaining!
