Well, now as we had made the flank movement, we had to storm and take the Federal lines, because we had made a flank movement, you see.

When one army makes a flank movement it is courtesy on the part of the other army to recognize the flank movement, and to change his base.

Why, sir, if you don't recognize a flank movement, you ain't a graduate of West Point.

Hood was a graduate of West Point, and so was Sherman.

But unfortunately there was Mynheer Dutchman commanding (McPherson had gone to dinner) the corps that had been flanked, and he couldn't speak English worth a cent.
