A relative of mine (brother of my 5th ggf) was captured at Fort Donelson. He was in Crittenden's army. History is always more interesting when you realize that you are learning about things your family went through. The numbers of armies are more than just that. They are all first hand experiences of people just like us.
I’m from Tennessee and have lived here my whole life. When I was a little girl one of my favorite outings I remember was when my dad took me to Shiloh National Military Park. Especially the “bloody pond”… I will never forget that. I do plan on going back in the next few weeks after getting more into American history recently. Great stuff!

6:12 Yes. Much of Appalachia was pro-Union. The mountains and rough terrain made widespread plantations difficult and so much of the population were poor farmers and laborers with not a lot of ties to slavery. Everybody thinks about West Virginia as the main example, but eastern Tennessee, northern Alabama, and northern Georgia all had large pro-Union areas.

I love Warhawk's videos! So very detailed. I hope you look at more of these as they cover a lot of smaller engagements too that are a little less well known.
I absolutely love this! I’ve been subbed to the Warhawk channel for a while and he’s got great content. But I’m just riveted to your reaction and the additional information that you offer us. Well done brother! Aloha 🤙🏼
Warhawk is such a great channel, I only recently discovered them but man are they amazing. I was going to recommend you check them out in the next live stream but guess that's no longer necessary, huh. Let's hope Warhawk gets more subscribers because of this video.
I keep going back to these reactions because I love you talking about the civil war at length and in detail so much. Hopefully there’s another reaction series like this in the future on other battles
I don't believe the war in the West would have been different, outcome at least, but I personally believe the battle of Shiloh would have had a much different outcome if he didn't die. On a side note, the last major reenactment of the battle of Shiloh, I fired the first shot to start the battle. It was awesome.

There is a restaurant near where I live, in Cape Girardeau Mo, called Port Cape. They have copies of text in their menus talking about some of the inter tangled history of that building and the Civil War. And the text talks about how General Grant used that building as a headquarters while he was stationed in the area.

Beauregard is an interesting character. Not at the same rarefied level as Grant/Lee/Sherman, but at the next tier down ("pretty darn good"), probably among the better senior commanders on either side. Hardly unemployed; had an almost "Forrest Gump"-like tendency to pop up at various times in both theaters throughout the war. But still seems to have been rather underutilized. Seems likely he would've fared better than the likes of Bragg or Pemberton in situations/times where those folks, um, "underperformed". Goes back to the point of Jeff Davis having favorites and not-so-favorites. Beauregard was one of the latter, plus as a Creole Louisianan was probably already a bit of an outsider in high CSA political/military circles anyway.
Chris, might I suggest a visit to Crawfordsville, IN, if it's not already on your itinerary? The Lew Wallace Study is a beautiful location where you can learn more about the the man himself as well as see some of his paintings.
Your point about all of the western armies and troops involved is really good. In James F. Dunnigan and Albert A. Nofi's excellent book "Dirty Little Secrets of WWII", which is a book loaded with stats and comparative numbers, they state that 90% of US infantry in WWII European theater never fired their guns in anger. Most are doing mundane activites such as policing occupied towns, stationed near supply depots way back from the front lines just in case, or simply being in sectors that are never attacked or attack, etc. It would be interesting to see what the number was during the civil war.
Simon Bolivar Buckner was the last living Confederate general with the rank of Lt General in 1914 and his son Simon Bolivar Buckner, Jr was the highest ranking U.S. officer killed in World War II at Okinawa.
My understanding of why there was no Admiral was because the senate thought it was too British sounding same thing happened for the rank of commodore as well
11:20 I would say that you are starting see the union assemble a good roster of commanders. I would say that Curtis and his subordinates handled their army very well at pea ridge, it didn't hurt that all the confederate officers got themselves shot but they won on their own merits i would say
How is that I am not even American and yet your video is so informative it makes me want to find more information about the American Civil War? Good job✌
Another great reaction. Also I enjoyed your videos talking about your father and that journey. We all have our own stories and sometimes we all have bad farthers as well but clearly you are a great man . Keep up the good work Chris and I hope more people sub to the extra channel.
He has a ...different narration style. but very in depth and well done videos. also Hay/Nicolay go into great detail on east tennessee (and everything else). The confederate troups and militia reacted pretty violent to their resistance (while they could). They also talk about Halleck and so on. It's fascinating to get a view from Lincolns 2 secretaries who were front row witnesses. They very rarely play this card though and base it more on long research and many letters and other documents. One thing they claim is that as soon as Halleck had the overall command he wanted, he became very slow and crareful again, much to the frustration of Grant. However they get quite sarcastic and snarky when it comes to McClellan. You get the distinct impression he became rather unpopular in these circles after a while.
Recently purchased the game War of Rights on steam on early access, I've always been interested in the American civil war as it also effected Ireland in many ways. Without American helping us in 1847 to establish a new life and many Irish families were able to support by send some money back home.
While the "p" in "corps" is always silent, the "s" is pronounced for (but only for) the plural. Modern corps would typically be 20,000-99,000 strong, their strengths in the War Between the States was often very less than this, as was so with the strengths of other levels of units as well. This was especially so in the Confederate armies as casualties mounted.
Hey VTH. Im just requesting this jn reference of your Potato Famine video, you should definitely check out more on Irish history. There is so much to it whether it be The 1916 Easter Rising, Wolfe Tone’s rebellion of 1798 and the Irish Civil War in the early 20’s. You should definitely check out some of them as they ar every jntersting and not many people know how much Ireland tried to gain independence
@@VloggingThroughHistory I have to ask. how do you even sleep? you post so many videos between your channels plus all of the other stuff you do in your life. it has to be exhausting in a lot of ways. either way appreciate all of the content and I really hope you are taking care of yourself
Hey Chris, could you please react to Puppet History?, its a great show combining comedy and history with telling about different historical events throughout history. And maybe perhaps you could contact the producers if you could be on the show on UA-cam
The soldiers firing their wet weapons to see if they fire sounds really stupid. But the last thing you want to have to worry about is a misfire. I don't blame the soldiers. That is lack of training and leadership in my opinion. Modern weapons systems being so intricate and we'll engineered and manufactured still produce all sorts of snafus. And at the worse times. For some reason that was my huge takeaway. Simply put, I get it.
Can you do a reaction to the last 2 or 3 Videos by historia Civilis? Theyre about the end of the napoleonic wars and the congress of vienna. I think it would be a lot of fun even tho a bit long

If I could perhaps add a suggestion to a future reaction video it would be "Caligula: 1400 days of terror" hour and half but I'm sure you can split it up
This before i watch the vid bit have you read or heard of George Pomutz since you have better acces to civial war info and some only found in usa. Im a bit curious about him asbi only recently found out about him and he apparently fought in this battle and he took part in the Alaska purchase
This whole operation seems too complex for an era that doesn't have radio. If just a single part of the line is kept from advancing in time the whole plan falls apart. They didn't even manage to get to the battlefield without a lot of men getting lost on the way. I'm very sceptical that they're able to manoeuvre the whole army like this.
Ayo, thats our video! Thanks for reacting to Shiloh, its my favorite so far!
Great work! Hopefully we can send some new subs your way. You deserve it.
@@VloggingThroughHistory Thank you, you should definitely continue with parts 2 & 3, you cant stop at the eve of battle.
@@VloggingThroughHistory the ironclad battles of WarHawk are 🤌
@@VloggingThroughHistory Deserves a pin in the comments section!
@@WarhawkYT great video. Earned my sub
A video I would definitely recommend from Warhawk is their look at the Battle of Memphis, the biggest gunboat battle on the Mississippi River.
Yup love the Warhawk videos. Very detailed. You can tell he has been influenced by the epic history videos on the napoleonic wars

Yes! Please continue this.
Found Warhawk during quarantine and binged em. Very high quality + cool accent
I would vote you continue this series and do more from this channel.
The Loyal Mountaineers of Tennessee is an amazing book written in the 1800s about the East Tn Union Men.
Did the Shiloh Reenactment this weekend. Amazing place.
Warhawk are great guys top notch videos
I am so excited for your book, your way of speaking and knowledge on subjects will perfectly fit for a book.
Warhawk is an excellent channel, glad to see you reacting to them!
I love Warhawk's videos! So very detailed. I hope you look at more of these as they cover a lot of smaller engagements too that are a little less well known.
love warhawk, watching a map with movements is so helpful.
I‘ve already binged all of Warhawks videos in the past couple of months.

Please continue! I wanna learn more about the Civil War
How did i just find this guy. Love history
Chris, you should check out Pea Ridge in Arkansas. One of the best battlefields to visit.
Charles Smith was one of US Grant's teachers at West Point and he was in charge of cadets for six years.
Hello from Pea Ridge Arkansas where we ride bikes and look for Sasquatch, seriously.
love warhawk awesome channel
I have subscribed to WarHawk myself. I really enjoy his content as well.
very good episode. I always enjoy your episodes on the civil war. I've watched all of his videos and they are all very good.
Warhawk is a good channel. I was surprised at how few subscribers it has, since I enjoyed all their videos.
