really good

What Gallows Hill project? Nothing regarding the Trials was respected. Gallows Hill was a silly lil tourist spot. You climb a hill full of litter to see a basketball court, yay! Would've loved to sit and pay respects in peace at Proctors Ledge but nope! Let's build an entire neighborhood right around it's edges, yay! It just feels like Salem is strictly for tourist dollars as opposed to the history. I've been disappointed every time I've gone.

So many ads that it renders this talk almost unwatchable. Shame, cause every 30 seconds it’s interrupted by ads.

As you get older you realize the old saying “no good deed goes unpunished” is very true. Meade found that to be true as well.

I can remember this election, just. I thought each one after 1948 was important. None was as important as this one

" Obviously these women were innocent, they were having hallucinations which were not understood in those days, consequently they were tortured and hung.These hallucinations were caused by a natural fungus Found in Rye and Barley called Ergot which is full of L.S.D causing Ergot poisoning, by eating the bread,Ergot is found in warm wet conditions in spring and summer. The witchcraft trials were held where large areas of Rye and Barley were grown and where tthe weather conditions prevailed in America ( Salem ) .There was a similar case in a village in France in the early 1950 s where Ergot was blamed. There was a detailed documentary shown on television some years ago about this village.".

Enlightening.

Amazing history. This goes so deep.

He definitely fought well on his own dung heap...tragic that history has treated him like a dung heap, up until now, thanks to Kent Masterson Brown, Jennifer Murray and others!!!

What the hell was Halleck doing? Surely he as general in charge of all US armies should have tried to move all forces and logistics he could to support Meade to maybe block Lee's avenues of retreat. If this was futile because such support wasn't available it shows Meade made the right decision. If Meade had a 3 to 1 numerical advantage and enough logistics to support a battle fierce enough to destroy Lee's army Lincoln would have had a point. Burnside and Hooker were removed for incompetence. Meade was made to suffer unjustly for his supreme competence. Meade offered to resign due to all the criticism he copped and Lincoln declined to accept his letter. This was Lincoln's most shameful moment of the war. At Gettysburg Lee couldn't make Longstreet attack like Jackson, and after Gettysburg Lincoln's wishful thinking couldn't make Meade pull out a plan more brilliant than Grant would have produced, but that would have been needed to destroy Lee before he got back to Virginia.

Hello J.L. 😍

Not true about fish as a food source; it was and always has been a huge part of the Hebridean diet, and coastal communities too

Regarding the Hen Wife’s portrait by Richard Waitt; we do know why it was painted. Waitt was commissioned by the Gordon to paint all the important members of staff. Look at the Scottish National Gallery portrait website for more info. Regarding Burt’s letters; he was in Inverness in the mid 1720s and the letters were sent to a friend in London, and published posthumously in the 1750s. As for the etching on the right hand side of your screen, that was the marketplace of Inverness and the individuals were not sketched according to gender; it was sketched from life.

Okay. Maybe not nuts, just a little crazy. Actually I like him. He never should have been in the military though.

Had the pleasure of meeting Dan during the 2022 Towne Family Reunion and am currently listening to A Salem Witch. Rebecca is my 10th ggm.

I was completely unaware of the conditions of the men and animals. Also the main supply train had been seized by confederate cavalry. But Meade kept his army between the confederates and Washington despite all the problems.

The information about the maps is interesting. Meade didn’t arrive until midnight of day 1. Why didn’t Meade get a good grounding on the topography. Just the fog of war?

I blame Meade for Sickles being out of position. Meade should have spent some time at least with Sickles over a map. Meade job was to position his troops. I write this at the beginning of this talk so let’s see.

This appears to be a very interesting aspect on the working of the Army of the Potomac as well as a fascinating book on General Meade. Thank you.

As someone who has been reading and researching about the American Civil War since the Ken Burns documentary, I'm surprised that Meade is not more highly regarded.

Why do you not mention what Religion his parents were? 5/33 imitate JESUS and Socrates Divine Son of God and Merely human Socrates Obvious he could not separate Supernatural Unchanging Creator from the opposite this great theme of Abraham told to leave his country etc and which is lesson number one in Supernatural Christianity

Lincoln reminds me of the villain in a Superman movie who said to one of his henchman something to the effect of “All I asked you to do was to kill Superman.”

I got a little obsessed with the Titan submersible and I have read a lot of artiles and watched tons of interviews and news already. Now, I will order this book!

Lincoln was the ultimate "Monday morning quarterback" in his analysis of Gettysburg and his criticism of General Meade.

As far as colonization: 1- He 100% listened to the Black Leaders, before his conclusion 2- It was because he 100% knew the evil intents of the majority of white folk at that time Very Good & Logical Presentation

You can thank joe Rogan

Please someone turn this into a movie. Meade the Hero with Sickles as the villain.

13:30 Build-up. 22:22 Battle plan. 31:05 Aftermath.

Great interview. Thanks

I am somewhat disgusted by the concerted effort to both minimize slavery and the continued rewriting of history regarding the Confederacy. The South had and has a disproportionate level of power . especially within Republican party...and so many of the false narratives seep into our culture and laws. Thank you for the your work. For connecting this false narrative and effects today.

Sad this is the only video I can find of this book. It’s great writing and such a good read

Kinda coincidental that such a “moral man” would have so many corpses buried underneath his home isn’t it 🤔🙄🤦‍♂️😂😂😂😂

After the third day's fighting at Gettysburg had ended, Meade understood that what his army possessed was position power, not striking power. Having just watched the repulse of Pickett's charge, Meade had no desire to return the favor and assault Lee's lines across that same ground. Gettysburg was basically a stand up fight with field fortifications being improvised on some fronts but largely not a consideration; Pap Greene proved their usefulness on Culp's Hill. The fortifications Lee erected around his bridgehead on the Potomac were quite extensive and Meade understood that a frontal assault on those lines could not succeed. Meade did the Union a favor by not shattering his forces on those lines. Not attacking Lee's fortified lines at Mine Run was also a solid decision. When ordered by Grant to conduct frontal assaults Meade did so with the attendant wastage of life that he usually tried to avoid.

Found him in my family tree. Had to watch!! Thanks for the content

I read "Meade at Gettysburg" last fall. It is a fantastic book.

MEADE American Hero

Again it was the same for both sides. Yet Lee was able to escape with his whole force. I'm sorry but I can't imagine Grant letting Lee just slip back into Virginian and call it a campaign. Meade was just satisfied to have stopped Lee and not in attempting to destroy him. That's why history treats Meade like it has. Meade simply didn't do enough.

THANK YOU SIR WILL BUY THE BOOK GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

Let's not forget Meade at Fredericksburg...had he got the army behind him there, the results could have been quite different

Mr. Brown is an absolute gem.

Thank you, The Algorithm.

I always felt Meade got a raw deal. Thrust from commanding one corp to seven while Lee is invading the north. He stopped Lee’s effort and turned him back but then catches hell for not destroying him or failing to pursue in a timely manner. Then when Grant takes over all armies he nominally remained commander of the AOP But would remain in Grants shadow for the rest of the war. Then as a added insult he dies shortly after the war and was unable to defend himself from personal attacks particularly from the Likes Of Damnable Dan Sickles.

I read his book and saw the video. Master of history indeed, thanks for your incredible work to rehab Meades honor

An excellent analysis of Gettysburg with fascinating insights into Meade's post battle actions. I have a question, why did Lee have the horsepower to get away from Pennsylvania yet Meade did not?

Lee did force the Federals away from Richmond during the Peninsula campaign but the Union won 6 of the 7 battles there. McClelland just kept backing up.

Thx. Meade got the army 3 days before and was able to concentrate his forces and win the field. No other officer in that army could have done that.

I have read that the pilgrims were following a comet or meteor, I wonder if a meteor hit off the coast of plymouth the chemical reaction could create a mustard gas that killed "the people of the shore" I think that because accounts were written saying the villages were dead in motion and their skin was yellow, thinking of the curve in shoreline around the area, this could be possible.
