Years: 1862 - 1862
March
Beauregard plans to concentrate his forces in the vicinity of Corinth, Mississippi, and prepare for an offensive.
Johnston moves his force to concentrate with Beauregard's by late March.
The preparations for the Union campaign have not proceeded smoothly, and Halleck seems more concerned with his standing in relation to General-in-Chief George B. McClellan than he does with understanding the Confederate Army is divided and canbe defeated in detail.
Further, he cannot agree with his peer, Buell, now in Nashville, on a joint course of action.
He sends Grant up the Tennessee River while Buell remains in Nashville.
