Sappony Church | First Ream's Station | Monocacy | Fort Stevens

Coming up this week we have another 4 battles including 2 that reach the doorstep of Washington D.C.  Our first battle is the battle of Sappony Church on June 28th, 1864, which was part of the Wilson-Kautz raid to take out Confederate supply lines.  The first battle of Ream's Station was again part of the Wilson-Kautz raid and took place June 29th, in Dinwiddie County, Virginia.  Then we move to the battle of Monocacy on July 9th as Jubal Early attempts to divert Union forces away from the Petersburg siege and make his way to D.C.  Our final battle of the episode is a big one for the Union. After their defeat at Monocacy the Union must now make sure Early doesn't march into Washington D.C. at the battle of Fort Stevens on July 11th-12th with the Capital building in Early's sight.  Subscribe to our YouTube! youtube.com/@bangdangnetwork
