We have four battles for you this week starting with the first failed attempt at taking Fort Wagner. The first battle of Fort Wagner on July 10th-11th was a failed attempt and was the lead up to Second Fort Wagner and the 54th Massachusett's story. The battle of Kock's Plantation on July 12th-13th left the Confederates in control of the Cajun Country in Louisiana. The New York City Draft Riots took place July 13th-16th where the white residents of New York were not happy with the draft that was just implemented resulting in numerous murdered African Americans. Finally, the battle of Grimball's Landing on July 16th attempted to draw Confederate forces away from Fort Wagner so the Union could launch another attack.
