For this week's episode we have another four battles as we move towards the huge battle of Chancellorsville. First up, it's the siege of Suffolk in Virginia as Confederate James Longstreet looks to possibly take the Union Garrison there which took place from April 11th to May 4th. Then, Union MG Nathaniel P. Banks is ordered to attack Port Hudson, but on his way there he is held up by Confederate MG Richard Taylor with the small battles of Fort Bisland, Irish Bend, and Vermillion Bayou which took place from April 12th to the 17th.
