To act like the British fought this war for the colonies is a joke.

Saw this video on May 29th!

Here's an intriguing secret--if my independent research results, conducted over a 15 year period, are correct, then Charles Dickens plagiarized "A Christmas Carol" from an American couple named Mathew and Abby Whittier.

55" is only 4-1/2 ft. That's nothing in NY.

The plane went down in the Ocean. Something happened with the Blackbox making tracing near impossible. Apparently they are going to continue the search later this year in 2024, or try. We will see what happens.

Antietam has always fascinated me possibly more than any other battle

I am always learning something new about Gettysburg. It involved so many people it stands to reason there are so many stories. Whether it’s Chamberlain holding on to Little Round Top or the last minutes on earth of Amos Humiston as he held a photo of his children. It is interesting and many of the actions thought provoking.(like Pickett’s Charge) Then there is our greatest president’s 272 word address. His words mean so much and will for many decades to come.

CRT is BS, cease and desist the "woke" agenda and cover real "history" not conjecture! 1690 project is a farce!

Graphics suck,, level of detail too broad...kindergarten level;; pompous:; volume too low; some UK big mouth; should have got Fred Anderson. Other than that ...,,,,?...not bad, haha

Not all the French left. But a great documentary despite the Anglo bias.

Gallagher mouths silliness, but this is the state of civil war "scholarship." Maryland was, in fact, "held to the Union against its will." Lincoln threw how many of its legislators in prison? He occupied the State capitol and Baltimore with troops. Turned the State into a military district. And the crap about what Gallagher thinks Lee "hoped." Pure crap. If Lee "hoped" anything he hoped his decimated, ragged, shoeless and starving army might somehow possibly survive the movement indirectly to the Valley.

Forever!howdy?. Thanks- you shared superb ,✋

On Thomas' question about Lee getting tepid support in the slave state of Maryland: according to the 1860 census, Maryland had approximately 687,000 citizens. 84,000 were free African-Americans while 87,000 were slaves. That leaves a white population of 516,000 of which only 14,000, or less than 3%, owned slaves. Most of these were concentrated in the southern counties and the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Yet, Lee invaded through two of the western counties where there was very strong pro-Union sentiment. According to Dennis Frye, a renowned Park Ranger and Civil War historian, Lee had no intention whatsoever of staying in Maryland to recruit or fight at Sharpsburg. He was headed fo Pennsylvania to gather supplies from the rich central Pennsylvania farm country, do as much other mischief as possible and, most importantly, lure the Army of the Potomac to ground of his choosing on which to give battle. Lee's miscalculations were thinking the Harpers Ferry garrison could be captured in about two days, leaving him plenty of time to cross the Mason-Dixon line, and thinking McClellan would not move west as fast as he did. Perhaps youi can tell I'm a proud son of Maryland and deeply interested in our Civil War.

Gary contradicts himself…if the south was a different country as he he claims in multiple other videos-then, the emancipation had no bearing on the south as it was a different country and not bound by US law

Order 191 has always fascinated me. My view is it was not a "lost" order, but rather a ruse concocted by Gens. Lee and Jackson. Lee needed to take Harper's Ferry to keep an escape route open to the Shenandoah where he could rest his depleted army after 2d Manassas. The Order kept McClellan from advancing to HF, enticing him to Sharpsburg, which was a perfect shorter, tighter battle line. McClellan did just that.

Always a treast to hear Dr. Gallagher's views and perspective.

The civil war was cool

The reasons Gettysburg is indeed the turning point of the war- 1. It was the first and last major battle fought on Northern soil. 2. It was the first major defeat for the Army of Northern Virginia which had been on an almost unbelievable run of victory after victory, up to that point. 3. The failure of Pettigrew and Trimble's divisions to advance on Cemetery Ridge and instead turning tail and running back to Seminary Ridge-leaving Pickett's men to do most of the fighting and dying the third day of the fighting-caused a rift across the entire Army of Northern Virginia that would never quite be healed.

Excellent. Appreciate your work....

I kept waiting for him to tell us what the turning point was, but he never did. What was it?

well presented pards *LIKED* and going to re-listen to this in the car

great presentation pards *LIKED* and *SUBSCRIBED* I'll be saving this video to audiobook to listen to on way to both 160th Gettysburg reenactments this summer.

USA Today, National Geographic, BBC and Time are not empirical news sources and don't mean much to some people. Also, Chamberlain isn't shit and Ken Burns sucks balls. Truth hurts.

Great job! Great presentation

Kudos for getting Prof. Gallagher. He is a treasure: an independent thinker who always strives to keep events in the perspective of the times rather than our present.

Gettysburg denied victory to the confederates and denied defeat to the Union. That's important. But what really happened is that the Union decided to pay the price for victory and really went to war only in 1864 under Ullysses Grant. With that decision to press the war, the confederate fate was sealed.

Gary Gallagher is a wonderful commentator and his extensive knowledge is evident. I haven't been able to discover, though, what may be his own experience in uniform. It seems that it might color his interpretation of military actions.

Lots of scholar's seem to have mental health issues these days 😕

Gee, the US was populated by genocidal murderers even then . Has continued up to the current time.

In my opinion, you disproved your premise with 2 comments. First, after the War, Southerners said they lost it there, and when Europe bowed out because of Gettysburg.

I started out with Bruce Catton.

Thanx

Thank you for your usually excellent presentation. I think had Lee seen the topography Ewell was confronted with he might have been less critical of him. I also don’t think the unimaginable pressure Meade was under to protect Washington while plunged in the midst of battle, loss of generals he most depended on and could trust, Sickles almost devastating insubordination and subordinates like his chief of staff that almost worked against him in this tiny temporal crucible are given their due. There is an excellent series on what happened after he got to Virginia. And Meade not knowing how destructive Pickett’s charge had been described Lee as the greatest counterpuncher he knew of as he worked hard at the end of the third day to reorganize his necessarily tangled units as they had been terribly mixed in the battle. With this in mind I think his efforts at pursuit are uderestimated

This person has some form of strange "outrage"against the narrative of the Union. Strange.

Wasn’t the largest battle. It was the bloodiest

“The coming apocalypse and the evil influence of Twitter.” Hilarious!!! But ih so true.

Very Important stuff. Thank you. People dont understand. Weimerica is here.

Rather than concentrating on the left flank of the Union army and moving Johnson's Division to seek to concentrate the initiative on Culp's Hill, Picket's charge would have likely been successful. Can you imagine having Confederate artillery on Culp's hill? It could have concentrated on the Union Center and been far more effective than the barrage on the morning of July 3. If the Confederates would have defeated the Union Troops at Gettysburg, and head towards Washington DC, how would have that effected Lincoln's chances of winning the oncoming election? The Democrats would have likely defeated Lincoln and sued for peace- which was really Lee's goal- to weaken the North's resolve to continue on with a very bloody and costly war. I also disagree with Gallagher's critique of Meade. In the annals of recorded history, there has never been a “high-end combat” battle that lasted more than 96 hours - that is simply the limit of human endurance. Absent fresh reserves to commit - and reserves who know what they are doing rather than anyone quickly thrown into the fray - it is almost impossible to transition from the defense to the offense and pursuit at the end of a battle like this one. A perfect example is Napoleon’s failure at Austerlitz to pursue beyond Stara Posta at the end of the day. Even his hardened forces of the Grand Armée of 1805 simply could not muster the energy to pursue after the climactic battle itself..Meade had lost important command structure like the loss of Renolds and had to regroup his corps command. Now Lincoln did admonish Meade as was presented in the lecture, but he never actually sent the letter to Meade. What would be the point to criticize the command leader after the victory? It was a war of attrition and Lee lost a large number of his force which could not be replaced. Meade had no way of knowing the remaining strength of Lee's army and to go on the offensive with an exhausted army would have been a very risky proposition. We can say in retrospect Lee had a severely depleted force, but Meade had no way of knowing the extent of his victory. The Union was looking at a significant number of soldiers finishing up the term of their service, so of course they had to look to enlist and seek to re-enlist soldiers to continue the fight- and that will take time to re-strengthen their force. In summary, I think the critique of Meade not to pursue Lee's army lacks context.

Washington state 2022

Vicksburg was more important. It divided the South in half and denied the Confederates the free flow of needed supplies and reinforcements. It gave the Union complete control of the Mississippi River.
