History's Biggest Blunder | Battle of Big Black River Bridge Animated Battle Map

What was history's greatest military blunder? Who made the biggest mistake in history? Let's look at the Battle of Big Black River Bridge and see if it qualifies. Lieutenant General John Pemberton, hoping to delay Ulysses S. Grant from advancing on Vicksburg before Confederate reinforcements could converge on the city, made a huge tactical mistake by trapping his men in a horseshoe of the Big Black River. Brigadier General Michael Lawler stood out as one of the MVPs of the battle as he capitalized on a geographic feature that allowed his brigade to flank the Confederate defenses.
