We noticed that during our stay in sept the ads were non stop on the TV and radio (that was annoying)

Politics in America is no longer north v south, it’s urban v rural. Secession would be much more difficult this century.

Enjoyed hearing the details and history around PA in relation to voting. Should be another interesting voting cycle with PA playing a big part. Buckle up!!! Thanks for the video !!!

PA is a great state. True observation that Pittsburgh has a different feel from Philly. However, most of Eastern PA wants no part of NYC. Just allentown, pottstown, and the Poconos. I always believed Joe Schmo Scranton won the election. But I will never believe he won PA. I have had the opportunity to hear people who have government careers talk about it, and that only strengthened my opinion.

Good job Aaron. I enjoyed and it is interesting to see the inner character of Custer reveal itself at the East Cavalry Field. Maybe you could put together a Custer episode !

Thank you for posting John F Reynolds is my cousin

My 3rd great grandfather private William lollis 22nd South Carolina was blown up at the crater he is buried at blandford cemitary

We can’t find it

Liked listen to you bout that battle.... Greetings from Germany

Looking forward to Episode 2: Braddock Boogaloo! there's a wonderful little museum dedicated to the battle of the Monongahela in Braddock.

anyone who's been cheated on can sympathize with Danny boy imo

Excited to see the new direction with Forward America. Always love learning about George Washington and early America. Keep up the good work!!! 🇺🇸

Love this idea , so much more events you can cover and travel too. have to get yo up north next year for some of the 300 year anniversaries for F&I and 250th for Concord & Lexington lol we're in town now so deff got to meet up at some point.

Looking forward to more diverse content! Sometimes I get a little burnt out on Gettysburg, so this is a welcome change. Best of luck to you with the new direction.

Enjoyed all you did with the Forward Gettysburg concept and look forward to following your journey with Forward America. Can’t wait to follow along and support the channel. Keep up the good work buddy !!!

Hasn't anybody figured out how to buy some time differently yet. Punji sticks, mines, build a moat...?

Iverson was not possessed of much courage.

Fix your audio

Savageness at its worst🤮 Nothing more than a meat grinder of an engagement

I was going to go there, but no need to now. I have already seen it...Thanks for saving me the gas money.

Yes sir!! He should have received the MOH for his leadership at Gettysburg!!🙏👏🏿🙌🏾🏆🇺🇸💔

Comparison between the 1863 Whitworth cannon to the 1942 75 mm Sherman short barrel cannon: Weight: Whitworth 12 pounds Sherman 14.9 pounds Diameter: Whitworth 2.7 inches Sherman 2.95 inches (75 mm) Muzzle Velocity: Whitworth 1600 feet per second Sherman 2050 feet per second Surprisingly good performance compared to something 80 years later. Biggest weakness of the 1863 Whitworth cannon compared to twentieth century artillery? Lack of radios or even wired telephones that would allow a forward artillery observer to relay target information to a Whitworth cannon. By the 1860's, artillery technology had reached the point it could dominate a battlefield, causing 60 % of the casualties that they inflicted on twentieth century wars, instead of the 15 % of the Civil War. They were just lacking the communication technology, still 50 years ahead in the future.

My ancestor, Capt. Joseph P. Carson, from Reynolds, Ga. went into business with Gen. Gordon after the war, but they had a breakup over something. Carson fought at Petersburg, captured Union Ft. Stedman and later was captured himself.

James crews were not happy with their guns. Nor were they considered a very good weapon by crews of the Ordinance Rifles.

Is there anyway to know what union units, guns, and any damage taken shooting at Latimer units?

Blah, blah, blah, Oh and incidentally, the Irish Brigade fought at Gettysburg!

To elaborate more… Sickles had warned Key to stay away from his wife.. Mr. key was caught pink handed outside of Mr. sickles’s house, trying to lure Mrs. sickles to their secret love shack. The story goes that Mr. key reached in his jacket, and Mr. sickles fired into the groin of Mr. key and Mr. key bled to death . (I left a lot out in order to make this short as possible) Here’s the kicker He wasn’t kicked out of Congress for the justified murder, he was kicked out of Congress for taking his wife back ! Also I consider general Longstreet to be the true mastermind genius of the Virginia army. I would like to add… Years later general Longstreet became good friends with general sickles . That speaks volume to me. Military brass already had a Joshua Chamberlain, they couldn’t afford to have another civilian general that held his own. He was loved by people that knew him and despised by those who knew of him.

You can't get a better endorsement than to have the video introduced by Matt Atkinson.

My 4th great grandfather, Jason Haskins, was in the 149th Company K. Per my understanding, they were placed in front of the 150th Pennsylvania as a skirmish line in front of McPherson’s Ridge against the assault by Brockenborough.

Nothing like a peach cobbler,,, huh🤘

Were there any Dollar General’s on Hanover Road? 😅 Sickles was a bit of a pain in the butt. This was very interesting, thank you.

Very good presentation.now do one on all the mississippi men taking part in " picketts charge" on July 3rd.the 11th miss.for example.

There's a book by Bruce Catton called "A Stillness at Appomattox" that details the last year of the civil war. This battle is described in morbid detail. Very interesting stuff!

A REAL FREEDOM FIGHTER

Written orders from Gen. Meade in the form of Captain William Payne's Map, may have had a thing or two to do with it. Written orders take Precedence over verbal instructions. ua-cam.com/video/UcQkLTKshmI/v-deo.html

I really enjoyed your video, I am reading The Boy Generals by Adolfo Ovies and it helped give me a visual of the Battle by the Calvary. Looking forward to more videos. I'm from Chambersburg so it is not far for me to go.

Sad that this was not taken in on the movie Gettysburg. Little Round Top was a vital position but the Sickles Gap is what saved the Union Army. Had Gen. Hancock been wounded that day instead of at Pickets charge the next day the Conferderates might have won the battle.

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation, so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate-we can not consecrate- we can not hallow-this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us - that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion - that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain - that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom - and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

No it’s been stated that it was the ONLY important point …yes it’s important very … but if the union center would have fallen it would have been the same result 🤷🏻‍♂️ but no one likes to talk about that. ( second core saving third core’s ass)

LTR was certainly an important piece of real estate in its own right. Maybe not as important as Culp's & Cemetery Hills, but it was valuable high ground and commanded a sizable viewpoint of the Gettysburg battlefield

Sir I thoroughly enjoy all of your presentations- they are first class ! ... I can understand what you're saying (your diction and pronunciation is crystal clear ) !

I visited the Muleshoe a few years ago and the place felt haunted. The terror and cruelty unleashed there lingers to this day.

Fun fact they did not shoot it they had bombs on the tower

Mulligan McDuffers. The ABT owns that land now I believe

I travel from Utah to take Civil War Vacations with my son. Spotsylvania C.H. is one of my most favorite B.F. I have 25 ancestors that fought in the C.W. @ a 50/50 split for each side. I had 2 ancestors taken prisoner from Spotsylvania (father & son) confederate and an other son fighting there as a union soldier. All survived!!! Loved the video. P.S. the 2 confederates ended up at Camp Hoffman Point Lookout MD, one of many "Andersonvilles" of the Union.

No Navy should be 44 caliber period!!!!!!!!!!!

Joslyn part 2. JEB did confiscate all the food meant for the Union mules and horses. That's why Meade couldn't pursue Lee south. The horses were hungry!

Watching this for a second time a year later. Lol. Im trying to figure out why your southern accent is ssoooo much different from Ranger Matt's southern accent. And his is authentic! Most importantly, perhaps the Rebs could have won if Garfield would have knocked the Union cannon off the table instead of the booklet.

Thank you for this video. PVT James O. Hensley, Co. K (Alleghany Tigers), 37th North Carolina. He was wounded at Fredericksburg and Killed in Action on July 3, 1863 at Gettysburg.

They did a good job. They were unfortunate to be out numbered and in a pretty untenalbe position for their strength.
