Rebel Forces Lose Champion's Hill
'The South was defeated at Champion's Hill after one of the bloodiest sieges of the war. Northern fighters kept up a steady barrage of
men and bullets which finally succeeded in overpowering the Confederates. Trying in vain to protect themselves, the South set up one
last stronghold on top of the hell and attempted to blast everything that attacked. For a while it appeared that the Confederates
could keep destroying the Northern soldiers as soon as they charged. But the Union's continuous offensive force jammed the Southern
machinery to a stand-still and brought about its defeat. The one-time mighty Army of General Pemberton was in the hands of the
Union. The South was in trouble.'
