General banks was defeated at pleasant hill Louisiana on April 6 1864 and was never able to reachsherman true or false?

True. General Nathaniel P. Banks was defeated at the Battle of Pleasant Hill in Louisiana on April 9, 1864, during the Red River Campaign. This defeat hindered his ability to link up with General William Tecumseh Sherman, who was advancing through the South at the time. As a result, Banks was forced to retreat, and he never achieved his objective of joining Sherman.
