Ayy, thanks for watching and reacting to our entire Shiloh series!
great videos👍🏻
@@Lakitu886 Thanks gamer!
Excellently done man, can't wait to see some more!
Great job on Shiloh! Really cool battlefield. Would encourage everyone to visit.
I see that your video style is based on epic tv. Great stuff btw, on par with epic tv series.
Great reaction and insight to the battle! I found the Warhawk channel a while back and subbed there already, otherwise I'd do it now.
On the topic of brother versus brother: I am reading a memoir by Charles Edward Clark, who was captain of the USS Oregon during the Spanish-American War. He was aboard the USS Constitution when the civil war was breaking out as a naval cadet.
Clark tells a story about an officer he knew, Lieutenant William Parker, who was a Virginian but felt it was his duty to stay with the US Navy. His brother, Foxhall, decided to resign from the Navy to join the South. Before each went to join their respective nations, they met one night and argued with each other, trying to convince the other of their cause. They were both so convincing that each of them switched sides. William ended up resigning and joining the South and Foxhall stayed with the North.
Clark says, "Years later, in Washington, William Parker pointed out his brother to a friend, saying: 'There goes Foxhall, the disloyal Unionist, on full pay, and here stands William, the loyal Secessionist, down on his uppers.'" Just thought that was an interesting story and your comment on the Kentucky units facing one another reminded me of it.
Thanks for this Parker story. Do you happen to know what "down on his uppers" means in this quote?
i really loved this series Chris! thanks for covering this al back to back even though they were longer videos. your expertise on the civil war is amazing in helping me learn more!
Your reactions are always so interesting whatever the subject, you add to the original rather than just commenting on it. Another suggestion i hope you don't mind, The Armchair Historian has an excellent video on Operation Market Garden and I thought a look at that prior to your visit to the Netherlands would be good. It looks as if everything went wrong. Some content on it while you're there would also be good.
I believe Johnston left it to Beauregard to organize the attack and he formed long lines instead of formations
Warhawk actually has video about the siege of Corinth. And covers all the issues that arose from hallecks command.
its so crazy to me how the confederates were on the offensive against a well fortified enemy on the first day. Then faced a huge counterattack by far superior federal numbers the second day and still had significantly less casualties.
Almost every soldier they had in the western theater was brought up to Corinth to end Grant's invasion. Neither Grant or Sherman thought Johnston was capable of an offensive. That's why was so far away from his army and caught complete by surprise. Benjamin Prentice and Don Carlos Buell may have won the war for the union without them Grant possibly never gets promoted.
Thank you so much for openly sharing your thoughts and journey whilst writing your Diary of the Ohioan Lads, I'll have take out some good hours of my day and look through those Diary's, god bless
Man! I loved this analysis. I can't wait for you to react to more of warhawk's video!
not final! more WarHawk please!
Excellent video
You really shine in this kind of video, Chris. One can tell that this is a topic you're both knowledgeable and passionate about.
Man Warhawk is so good. I love that they show all the little things like some Confederate units wearing blue uniforms.
Lol I think we might be related.
I think Sam Hughes is one of my ancestors as well on my maternal Grandmothers side. I could be wrong though.
It's still mindboggling to me that both armies lost something like 30% of their total force to casualties. Just an insane amount and sadly, to be quickly eclipsed.
Would love to see you do some video on Kennesaw Mountain and Franklin
I definitely want to do that...I want to visit those battlefields too. I have been to both but it was quite a few years ago
Enjoyed this series very much. Maybe at some point you could take a look at Warhawk’s video about the Battle of Pea Ridge, which really doesn’t get enough attention..
i just did the 160th shiloh reenactment just last weekend had a great time. Always wanted to go out west to do one as a Virginian.
I've got a suggestion for your visit to the Netherlands. I just read something about Truus and Freddie Oversteegen and their role in the Dutch Resistance. That would be an awesome story to get your take on.
one of my dead family members fought in that war he got kidnapped bya candy van in the 14: century and then i was reading this book called monkey and the zoo
this totally relatable
Great series and channel
1:03 Dr Alexander Clarke who generally specializes in naval warfare but also does some civil war stuff did a livestream lecture on the battle today and part of his take was that this shows that Beurgard doesn't really get what's happened. While yes the Union has taken heavy casualties on day 1 they have fallen back on a position where they can be reinforced and supported and that seeing day 1 and the position the union was in as anything other than precarious for the confederacy is wrong
Did you’re entire lineage participate in the Civil War?
Reminds me of my high school history teacher, Mr Cap. He always placed a family member in every history lesson. “Americap Vespucci” and so on. Funny stuff
I have a much higher number than average, yes. My wife has 2 ancestors who fought in the Civil War. I have 14.
@@VloggingThroughHistory going for a record?
We’re all 14 men or do you know of any Florence Nightingales in your family?
@@johnhull6061 14 men in the army and also one (the daughter of the man in the 20th Ohio) who served as a nurse but I know very few details about what she did beyond the mention of it in her obituary.
@@VloggingThroughHistory I don't have nearly that many because my father's side of the family was still in Europe! ( I recently did the Ancestry DNA test and I'm 45% Swedish/Danish , if THAT tells you anything!) I had some ancestors on my mom's side that fought on the Confederate side, since most of her family ended up in Texas. Ironically. one is buried in Camp Chase, Ohio - where my dad's family ended up living.
Why would the south let the union walk right back into the hortnets nest line they spent half their strength trying to break the day before? I get it may not be defendable from the other direction but surely something could have been done…
great content as always!
I'm always confused, why did people think it was going to be a short war? i always hear that people on both sides thought "oh, it'll be over by christmas." The Southern leaders surely must have known that without their opposition Lincoln was likely to remain in power, and that even a much smaller population breaking away in the Revolutionary war took years of fighting. And the North should have also known that putting down a revolt like the southern succession was likely going to mean killing nearly every man willing to revolt. is it just naive optimism or surety in their soldiery/equipment/commanders?
What a amazing video series.
Would there be anyway you could do a reaction to the History Channel documentary about Grant called……. “Grant” lol. I’d love to see your reaction to their Grant special. I had thought I heard you say that you hadn’t seen that one.
How do we have such details of a battle? Seems there was mayhem all over. Not just this battle, but all the major battles it seems. Were the armies that dedicated to strict record keeping?
Are these diaries on Civil War Digital fully digitalized or are you actually looking at fotocopies of the original writing?
Around the 1:00 pm time, that battle was over for the Confederates.
Great video
Anyone else notice Chris has a Southern accent now?
Can you do a video on hatfield and mccoy?
Very unrelated but can you answer me this history question please. I’ve been wondering who had more power in hitlers Germany, The army or the SS
Hey Chris! I’m from Minnesota, love your videos. I would recommend this video about the Minnesota regiments ua-cam.com/video/yGHZiBN3uFA/v-deo.html
