Crazy that most rebel soldiers didn't possess land, slaves or titles. They were fighting to maintain the lifestyle of the upper-class. Happily servile to their masters. Some things never change.
I feel like the real reason for Captain Brewer being such a prick is the fact that he is upset that he is the only person without any glorious facial hair.
The yankees were despicable in the prosecution of this war. They killed when unnecessary, they raped where they where they given leave to, and they destroyed and pillage where they were unrestrained..which was often. They were no better than the men they were were fighting supposedly "free" the black man from.
unless you can actually source everything you just said (and when i say source, i don't mean the sons of confederate veterans), i suggest you not go around spreading false information. union irregulars committed atrocities, nobody denies that... but the regular federal army almost never did. they were specifically instructed to be lenient towards the southern population with the viewpoint that they were still their countrymen. it wasn't until 1864 when it became clear that the south had no interest in coming back that the regular federal army began targeting the infrastructure of the south.
I think he was one of our greatest Commanders. Not necessarily because he won a lot of battles but because of where he came from. He was the true citizen soldier no military training before the war. He’s a common citizen from a small town in Maine and helps leads the country to victory in the most important battle not just of the war but maybe of all time in our countries history. That’s why people both north and south love him. He’s the number one example of what america stands for. Despite your birth status you can rise to greatness.
Im from Maine, and we are very proud of Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain and the 20th Maine. This is the scene that clearly shows how intelligent and decent a man he was. He was a professor of Rhetoric, and he was very skilled at it. But we can not forget that he truly believed in what America stood for.
Biggest lie ever that the civil war was fought for slavery was fought for industrialization which equals money the biggest cotton, tobacco, coal, steel were in the south. The Yankees imposed so much tax we refused to pay it. How you like them apples in 2023 ain't life a bitch
And this is the same Army ROTC that forced male cadets to march in uniform wearing red women's high-heel shoes a few years ago. How is that considered "leadership"? Now the Army wonders why people won't join.
It nearly makes me cry to think how the America as it is now is full of Nepotism and houses 24% of all prisoners worldwide... There are more black men and women incarcerated now than there ever were slaves at one point in the United States of America... An incarceration rate per 10.000 TEN times that of Germany... It's not about returning to some glorious past but to strive ever more for the american ideals. "Give me your hungry, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to break free."
the civil war was not about slavery. it was about the southern states wanting to not be controlled by a government not under the states, or the people's control..look as it is now as the north won. now we have people controlling every part of your life, and they know nothing about how reg folk live... or care.. they have there ivory towers protected from you, by armed troops you get to be taxed to pay for.
The war was not fought to end slavery. It was fought to end the rebellion. Lincoln said it in a speech in 1858, "A house divided against itself cannot stand".
What a distortion of history. Union soldiers had no idea why or for what they were fighting for other than being told lies and orders. Both of them being indistinguishable in the reality of the conflict.
I did not know who Jeff Daniels was when on a spare, rainy afternoon I rented both Gettysburg and Dumb and Dumber to fill my day. I came out the other side of watching those two movies a big fan of Jeff Daniels, and much dumber for watching the D&D movie to the end. This is truly one great movie moment. I've always wondered how historically accurate it actual is.
It is hard to comprehend the casualty rates of some of these units, many raised from contiguous rural areas at the start of the war. My g-g grandfather regiment was raised from two counties in Indiana in the summer of 1861. Nearly 1100 men. By the time of the Grand Review, 278 were left. That’s why you still see those obelisks in town centers all over the Midwest, sometime listing 100s of names. Often most of a generation from those places were dead or disabled from wounds or sickness.
After Hearing His speech No more needs to Be Said as he had already Said everything, they needed too Hear. Gettysburg was A Great Film Accomplishment No Doubt about that. Thank You for Sharing.
The 118th Pennsylvania was known as "The Corn Exchange Regiment", it had been in service since August of 1862 and had seen it's ranks dramatically reduced, just like the 20th Maine and other regiments that had been out since the Fall of 1861. Disease, rather than combat was responsible for most of that.
Watching this video reminds me of when I was in the ARMY. Never had the commanding GENERAL talk to us, NEVER but I talked to the GENERALS myself and they are very nice. Years ago I talked to a AIR FORCE general and he was very nice to me, because the owner told him that I was in the ARMY, and I have 2 letters of recommendation from them I still have them and I know my father told my 2 brothers about that.
These are not POWs which would technically be CSA soldiers. These are Union soldiers taht are deserters ect.. They are war criminals and under the UCMJ at the time could be summarily shot by the CO because it is war time conditions. Forget the long winded speech BS! I would simple say you got 2 choices! The firing squad or join the ranks against the enemy again! I promise you I would have at least 99% back on the battle line.
I believe the mutineers were in for three-year enlistments whereas the bulk of the Second Maine were serving for two years, and the unit was disbanded when their enlistments ended. The mutineers objected to serving in another unit.
3:33 This line always makes me tear up a bit. Ending slavery was not necessarily on the minds of the men of the Union army when it all began, but by Summer of 1863, the Union Army knew it had a job to do.
By all accounts they were made part of the 20th since the 2nd had officially mustered out in June 1863 because the majority of its members had 2 year enlistments. Chamberlain wrote the governor to ask for clemency for the remaining members of the 2nd which served with the 20th until the end of the war. One of whom, Andrew J. Tozier, would be awarded the Medal of Honor on Little Round Top for standing firm with the regiments flag during the Confederate assault.
The acting range Jeff Daniels has is astounding. Portraying one of the most noble, dignified, brave soldiers in American history, to spraying diarrhea into a toilet bowl while yodeling.
How do you convince men to fight with you? You ask them like Col Chamberlain did, that’s how you get men to fight
I do enjoy this time before dawn. I've always remembered by general likes this time
In real life, Chamberlain was a Professor of Rhetoric from Bowdoin College and if he gave such a speech it must have been a doozy!
Ladies and Gentleman, this is what is called oozing charisma on screen
Crazy that most rebel soldiers didn't possess land, slaves or titles. They were fighting to maintain the lifestyle of the upper-class. Happily servile to their masters. Some things never change.
POWs would have been confederate soldiers. These are mutineers.
This is a great scene im not gonna lie and say i was there that day.
Marc Twain had it correct when he deserted after his first battle
I feel like the real reason for Captain Brewer being such a prick is the fact that he is upset that he is the only person without any glorious facial hair.
We fight for each other!

#CrazyTrainHearings because IT"s the right thing 2 do :) UFO vs. UAP NOT left or right 2 fight about ;) #HolyTroller
What did you edit 'FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES'. Would you please explain? You should not edit at all. You should not censor at all!
Well damn if you do and damn if you don’t

Chamberlain was given a Congressional Medal of Honor for his actions on Little Round Top.
This scene still brings me to tears. Beautiful.
Powerful and humble, the mark of a good leader
Armies exist to violently coerce people.
Biggest lie ever that the civil war was fought for slavery was fought for industrialization which equals money the biggest cotton, tobacco, coal, steel were in the south. The Yankees imposed so much tax we refused to pay it. How you like them apples in 2023 ain't life a bitch
Go read what Confederates said at the time. They were honest about slavery being the primary motivation for leaving the Union.
war of rights?
And this is the same Army ROTC that forced male cadets to march in uniform wearing red women's high-heel shoes a few years ago. How is that considered "leadership"? Now the Army wonders why people won't join.

What was the state's right that Confederates were willing to sacrifice so much for? Answer: their single greatest financial asset: slaves.
Fine by me. States rights is an idiotic idea.
The war was not fought to end slavery. It was fought to end the rebellion. Lincoln said it in a speech in 1858, "A house divided against itself cannot stand".
The comment of "If we lose this fight we lose the war" is actually true, and historians believe it was an accurate prediction.
What a distortion of history. Union soldiers had no idea why or for what they were fighting for other than being told lies and orders. Both of them being indistinguishable in the reality of the conflict.
Someone needs to learn the difference between Mutineers and POW's.....they are not the same.
Most powerful scene in the film.
I did not know who Jeff Daniels was when on a spare, rainy afternoon I rented both Gettysburg and Dumb and Dumber to fill my day. I came out the other side of watching those two movies a big fan of Jeff Daniels, and much dumber for watching the D&D movie to the end. This is truly one great movie moment.

Lol very few union soldiers thought this or fought for it.
yep bunch of hollywood history revisionism nonsense
wow. BLURRY
Nice speech and Maine is full of white women with mulatto bastards. Judged by what you do, huh? Yeah, ok.

I wish I was there to see this film being filmed. I loved this film, however sad the Civil war was.

I served the United States Army. The only color was green. That's the way it should be.
I believe the mutineers were in for three-year enlistments whereas the bulk of the Second Maine were serving for two years, and the unit was disbanded when their enlistments ended. The mutineers objected to serving in another unit.
This speech has Bill Murray written all over it!
Is he Dumber or Dumber?
3:33 This line always makes me tear up a bit. Ending slavery was not necessarily on the minds of the men of the Union army when it all began, but by Summer of 1863, the Union Army knew it had a job to do.
Joshua Chamberlain described himself as a teacher. And it was so.
What was the fate of these men. I am guessing many died, but were survivors court martialed or pardoned? I can't find any info on that.
By all accounts they were made part of the 20th since the 2nd had officially mustered out in June 1863 because the majority of its members had 2 year enlistments. Chamberlain wrote the governor to ask for clemency for the remaining members of the 2nd which served with the 20th until the end of the war. One of whom, Andrew J. Tozier, would be awarded the Medal of Honor on Little Round Top for standing firm with the regiments flag during the Confederate assault.
Well done. The best part of the movie.
The acting range Jeff Daniels has is astounding. Portraying one of the most noble, dignified, brave soldiers in American history, to spraying diarrhea into a toilet bowl while yodeling.
If you chose to join us, I'd be personally very grateful, Jeff Daniels is such an amazing actor
