This episode continues our Civil War series of what NOT to do. Our goal is not to share dry stories from long-ago history, but to make it real and teach valuable life lessons that can help us today. Episodes 26-29 were about a specific person who failed as a leader; in this episode, we look at a particular battle in the Civil War, one of the most bizarre stories of that conflict. In this story, a bunch of Pennsylvania soldiers who had been coal miners hatched a plot to dig a tunnel and blow up a huge part of the Southern defenses around Petersburg, Virginia. It almost succeeded, and may have ended the war a year early! However, poor leadership and a lack of FOLLOW-THROUGH helped the North snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
