VERBAL ABUSE IN THE ARMY OF THE CUMBERLAND: WILLIAM ROSECRANS' ACID TONGUE AS A MAJOR FACTOR IN THE UNION DEFEAT AT THE BATTLE OF CHICKAMAUGA
Recent studies suggest that verbal abuse and harassment are relatively common in the workplace. These same studies show that such abuse decreases worker satisfaction, undermines relationships, and distracts workers from functioning as team members committed to common goals. This study examines a classic example of verbal abuse and harassment in the workplace—that of Union Civil War General William Rosecrans toward his subordinates during a campaign conducted in Tennessee during 1863. It can, in fact, be argued that Rosecrans' abusive language was a major factor in the Union defeat at the Battle of Chickamauga in September of 1863.
