The Daily Dispatch: October 10, 1861., [Electronic resource], Defensive campaigns. (search)
rapid movements and facile combinations peculiar to the new French tactics. His iographer, Chief Justice Marshall, in noticing these expressions of doubt, takes occasion to say, that Washington would have been always prompt to act on the offensive, had he possessed the means of doing so. His want of trained veterans, when his enemy had them in abundance, kept him on the defensive. The war of 1812 in Russia, is frequently spoken of as a defensive war. Yet it brought forth the battle of Borodino, the most trementous conflict of modern days. When the French retreated, the Russians pursued them even into Germany, attacking them every day, and slaughtering them in a most unheard of manner. We have already alluded to the Peninsula campaigns of Wellington, and shown that his system was not what is called the Fabian by any means. Col. Napier, indeed, repels the idea as a reproach, and asserts that no man was ever more prompt to act on the offensive, when he had the ability to do so.--
