Enlarge The intersection of the
Brock Road and Orange Plank Road is considered by some historians to be
the most important intersection of the entire war. If the Union was going
to win the war, it needed to control this intersection so that the Union
army could proceed southeast. Some historians believe that possession of
this intersection combined with General Grant's decision to move forward
proved to be the turning point in the war in the eastern theatre |
