I've seen a dozen biographies of Sherman, Grant, Lee, Jackson, McClellan, Joe Johnston and a few others. What I'd like to see is a good biographical video on George Thomas, the only general on either side who never lost a battle.
Thomas was a Yank general; the Yanks certainly lost at Chickamauga when the Yanks led by Thomas et al were soundly whipped.
@@salsanchez2114 True that they were "soundly whipped" but they were LED by Rosecrans and George "Rock of Chickamauga" Thomas led forces held out against heavy odds for the rest of the day until they could retreat in the darkness back to Chattanooga. I'll dismiss the "et al" in this case as he was only 1 of 3 subordinate corps commanders.
It’s quite likely that if Thomas HAD been in command at Chickamauga, the Yanks would’ve won that battle!
@@salsanchez2114 Gen. Thomas is known as "The Rock of Chickamauga" because even though Gen. Rosecrans was in command, it was Gen. Thomas that turned what could could have been a total disaster into a setback. The 3 best Union generals were: Grant, Sherman and Thomas. What I really want to see is a story about Gen. Nathan Kimball, the ONLY officer who defeated Jackson, at Kernstown (Mar. 1861) then Lee at Cheat Mountain (Sep.1861)
thanks for the great work you guys are doing and sharing with us for free
FLSwampStomper vvvv. B
I'm very interested in this part of Civil War history. Thank you!
William Tecumseh Sherman is one of the greatest military commanders the United States ever produced. Both his Atlanta Campaign and subsequent March to the Sea were works of genius.
He was way ahead of his time. A modern warfare general in the civil war era. The south never knew what hit them
He was a butcher!
@@scottishhellcat yes he was but the south should have never rebelled in the first place.
Pure genius!! Sherman and his men are true American heroes 🇺🇸
@@scottishhellcat Stop your lying propaganda, that ever happened!! This is Lost Causer/ Neo Confederate propaganda.
I enjoy your work....thanks for sharing
The General (not the CO of either side, but the locomotive 🚂 ) made me curious about the Atlanta campaign
4:11 That's a great Lincoln characterization
Ok so here’s some issues: Sherman was not a war criminal. Y’all bring up how he burned buildings but forget that Quantrell’s Raiders did the same thing and killed innocent civilians.
I am from Atlanta, Georgia. Thank you so much! Well done!!
That's Coby Batty narrating I think. I love his voice-overs. Very entertaining character
The cool part about watching this is that William t Sherman is my great Uncle
Wow! That’s absolutely incredible, you have rich blood in ye my boy! Fellow Northerner here, your Great Uncle Billy happens to be my 1st favorite American General of all time.
Must be awesome to share blood with such a important figure
@@M0j0S0D0pe420 I didn't know you like people who committed war crimes
@@isaiahwynn5608 War is a crime in itself and we all know who started it.
I'm so jealous of you!
Sherman did what he had to do, the South had to pay for starting the war!
Fatheads144 rhe Yankees started the war, they invaded us
he is a war criminal and should have been hung
all hail the north
I am all for the Union and all, the Sherman was a bad man, he Murdered, Raped, and Stole, And Pillaged entire towns, on civilians, what if you were one of the civilians?
@@Ultrad321 first, the south attacked Fort Sumpter, second, how can you invade your own country? It's like saying I raped my wife.
During the Civil War, Atlanta was a mere railroad hub; today the city possesses the busiest airport in the world by far. Impressive recovery.
No animated maps to add dimension and clarity to the story?
good bloody stuff love it thanks
You probably like lawyers too..
My GG Grandfather fought for the Confederacy here. He was wounded at the battle of Peachtree Creek. He was hit in the left forearm with a 50 cal mini ball. Deo Vindice! [>
Dandy video but it should be titled " Part 1 Sherman reclaims Georgia."
But "Invasion" is much more exciting, don't you think?
Show show-biz purposes of course ! Sherman's blitzkrieg-the folks will love it -ha-ha !!!! Great stuff.
LionHeart FilmWorks yeah calling it what it was is a whole lot better....it was a terrible thing that was done
@James Richardson www.lionheart-filmworks.com/store
Reclaims ? It was invading period . The north invaded the south that’s the real story period fuck your feelings
"The only thing Sherman did wrong was stop."
The only thing Sherman did wrong was being born.
George besides the backwash, for the springs.
Sherman realized that the fastest way to end the conflict was "total war". Unfortunately, that means that civilians and their land were fair game. It's a brutal method of fighting, but Sherman ignored any "ethical" questions, and forged ahead with great fury. Whether he was a hero or a villain is up for debate, but he did succeed in erasing any lingering doubts of the war's outcome.
Total war is a modern concept by definition is the wanton killing civilians. Examples would be Ghenghis Khan, Dresden fire bombings or Atomic bombs. What Sherman enforced was a HARD WAR, aimed at the enemies ability to wage war...his logistics.
The battlescenes sound like Empire total war
Lincolns boy
Atlanta was not really a significant city in those day. Savannah was the largest city in Georgia in those days. It was significant in that it was part of the war ending offensive through the South, but the capture Atlanta itself was not really as decisive as people think it was. It was until the 20th century that Atlanta began to look like a large city. More importantly would be anything of military significance. I would say that Sherman moving into South Carolina was probably more decisive. Atlanta was important for the same reason as Gettysburg. It was a railroad junction. Well Gettysburg was more of a highway junction. That is generally the utmost in military importance. Junctions of road, highways or railroads. That's what you need to control. Yes railroads, but that it always made obvious. HIGHWAYS or ROADS are also important because it allows you many options for lines of supply, communication and possible raids. Whatever you need to do. People need to understand that vegetation in those days was even more dense and thick. Trying to move an army and equipment off road is never good. You'll lose formation, and come apart. Exhaust your columns trying to get from place to place. Arty will get bogged down in terrain and you'll probably use up all your supplies with simply the logistics of it all. Not like more recent times when you can load up in a deuce and half and have your equipment towed on roads that are being defended by artillery and armor. In those days, it was soooooooooo much more difficult. Everything required more thinking, more balls, more initiative and better planning. If we really examine the South as a whole then we can see that the South was mostly a region of the US that was developing still. Virginia, and the Carolinas had larger cities and industry, but really these states were the most affluent in all the South. Georgia had Savannah and other cities, but was mostly stuck in a stagnant economy. Houston was a city, as was New Orleans, but that was because these were always port cities. Cities spring up on coastlines, especially ports. Sherman's March was one aspect of the South's revitalization. The Confederacy's actual formation is proof of this. That saw much of the South was not regulated, and it took more than one occupying army to change things. Slavery was certainly not the only part of the South, but it certainly was the bane of the country's existence. Ironically for the military it would be even more weird. The Mexican American War was a great opportunity for the US Army to grow and for the country to be richer, but it ended up bad because many took advantage. During the Mexican American War you saw a great migration influx as well, as the Army was away for years. Fighting Armies and bandits, or simply occupying the frontier. The US Army captured Mexico city for crying out loud. Talk about an expedition that rivals Napoleon's push into Russia and Egypt.
It is true that Atlanta was only a town of 5000 permanent residents and at the time Milledgeville was the capital but Atlanta was hugely significant. It was the crossroads of 5 different railroad lines. Destroy Atlanta and you crippled the Confederacy since they were no longer in possession of any navigable rivers running through the Western theater. That is why Sherman abandoned his pursuit of Hood and the Army of Tennessee before Hood destroyed his Army before Franklin. Sherman knew that without Atlanta the Army of Tennessee was simply an unsupported mob wandering around the countryside.
He didn’t burn enough
And now atlanta is now a big city and a wonderful place not like before when war was always a problem
@ol Jesco My guy thats rude towards people who are from Atlanta
@ol Jesco okay than maybe consider not saying that to people
@ol Jesco your gonna get your ass beat from people of you keep that up
@ol Jesco ohh your being so brave just wait if you go up to a guy whos from Atlanta dont be surprise if he pulls a gun or starts beating you up thats your fault kid
@ol Jesco hmm about that people in Atlanta are pretty good with guns a lot of deaths have occurred their with guns included
The worst civil war reenactment I've seen to date.
As a Georgian, this video hurts me :,)
War is hell and you can't refine it: William T Sherman
Maintenant
Sherman should’ve taken no prisoners
Sherman will always be a coward . Invading innocent peoples homes . He’s a coward plain and simple
To bad the south didn’t invade the north in the early war when they was winning .
Andersonville disagrees. He should have liberated them.
