Thursday, February 13 at 7 pm
We will meet at LCTV, 181 Union Street, Lynn, Mass., and on Zoom.
Our Speaker is Kevin Tucker. He will speak on “The Generals’ Revolt: Intrigue and betrayal in the Army of the Potomac’s High Command.”
Historian Stephen Sears wrote that “The Generals’ Revolt was an amorphous sort of thing, ill-defined and hard to pin down.” But for some 10 months, it was always there, lurking somewhere in the dark corners of the Army. The participants varied, shifting and changing. Sometimes it could be dismissed as just loose talk. At other times it seemed genuinely threatening. Yet, however difficult it might be to define, the Revolt of the Generals is something to be reckoned, for it reshaped one campaign and was instrumental in the dismissal of two commanding generals of the Army of the Potomac.”
