70 thousand to 40 thousand. 300 artillery pieces to 200. Result: a draw. 17 decades of intermission... part 2 coming soon. Deo vindice! The South shall rise again!
Haha! Yes! I agree, Robert E Lee was masterful and man-for-man kicked ass. Just like Gettysburg - he won two of the three days and that’s a _best out of three_ win - any way you cut it.
A.P. Hill's attack on Union's Left Flank,[just in Time] shows what can be accomplished, with combat Veterans with High Morale, Trusted their Leadership, and High on Victory, Charged the GREEN RECRUITS [Conn.16th] and saved the Confederate Army from Disaster! No one can ever take that away!
What a horrible tragedy. I'm not sure why people regard Lincoln so highly. Is preserving a union so important to cost the lives of 600-700k people. I don't think so. Politicians failures to negotiate lead to mass slaughter and we just keep repeating the same process over and over.
If they didn’t preserve the Union then more lives would’ve been lost. But I don’t like the US too. Just look at the Middle East and South and Central America. I hope the South rises again.
We've all been slaves of the Federal government since 1865. Lincoln was a traitor to the Constitution. Source: The Real Lincoln by Dr. Thomas J Di Lorenzo.
James Martinelli ...I’ve read this book and I completely agree with you. Lincoln was a mass-murdering lunatic and unleashed an illegal and inhumane war on people who just wanted to go their own way. All you ever hear is: _”Lincoln saved the Union” “Save the Union” “Save the Union”_ ...to which I call bullshit. Something’s very wrong when you have to force someone at gunpoint to join your club - with your rules.
Imagine being a descendant of George McClellan. To know, if not for your ancestors incompetence hundreds of thousands of American lives may have been spared.
Your narrative: _”Thus with the stroke of a pen, Lincoln . . . gave the weary Yankees a new cause to fight for”_ ...Total fiction and complete rubbish. The Yankee soldiers didn’t give a damn about slavery and would have never fought to begin with if the war was only to end slavery. In fact, Lincoln himself openly admitted this publicly... *Lincoln’s first inaugural address, March 4, 1861* … _“I have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the states where it now exists. I believe I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so.”_ The Emancipation Proclamation was purely political, it was never extended to slaves - yes - in the northern states (e.g., New Jersey, etc), and in fact, never freed one slave in the South. Stop rewriting history by projecting a sanctimonious nobility to a man and a cause that didn’t exist.
Fair enough. I suspect that although this documentary is good and well made and well intentioned, it is in part influenced by the prevailing 'political paradigm' which in part requires a 're-writing' of history and imposing today's 'moral attitude' on the past.
Not only is it an informative video, it showed the hobby of Civil War reenacting in its prime.
Yes it did! And thank God I got to be a part of it! Reenactors today have no idea of the size and scale of those events.

A good concise piece of history,i am greatly interested in the American civil war,it is a truly remarkable period in history,from over the pond.
Civil? Did congressmen and senators kill each other in the halls of the Capitol?

This is very interesting
Why the hell would anyone give this a thumbs down. I’m curious.
I see that some of the footage is from the film “Antietam Visit” which was shown at the battlefield park for many years.
I noticed that, too. Thought most of the Bloody Lane footage looked familiar.

(American Civil war)
(Results):(Union Victory)

He was aware that making a risky move could present a chance to Lee. If he keeps cation, attrition definitely brings victory to him.
