- After much delay, the Confederate assault on the Union left flank begins. This video covers the intense artillery fight. It does not include Ewell's half-hearted attempt to suppress Cemetery Hill.
Brilliant! Thank you! I actually did a car tour through the battlefield and also watched a re-enactment south of town, but never fully understood the Wheatfield until I saw this
Good stuff, thank you
Really liked how you super imposed the Google maps with the Bachelder maps. Keep up the good work, really enjoy the detail you bring.
If Sickles hadn't disobeyed Meade and put his troops in the wrong place there would have been no day 3. The reason Lee attacked on day 3 was because he didn't realize the full extent of what happened on day 2. Day 3 was a duplicate of day 2 except Meade's troops were where he intended them to be. No way to flank him and no way to take the position head on.
Meade had a poor relationship with the reporters and did not get the positive coverage he should have gotten. Some of his accomplishments were attributed to others by the press at the time because of their dislike for Meade.
Great Channel...keep up the good work!!
Love the maps really well done
Terrain maps are quite helpful. Seeing a battlefield such as, say, Antietam, you realize how hilly it really was, and how it affected the battle. You don't get that from flat, two-dimensional maps.
Maps are great !!!!!!!!
Great stuff. Im avid boardgamer and have tackled several war game systems. Right now playing Longstreet attacks by revolution games and this is 100% whats happening at game
Interesting! I looked at it on boardgamegeek.com and it seems like one heck of a game.
@@MilitaryHistory317 It is just, game almost done now. If you are interested in that series buy Stonewall jacksons sword. Its cheap and great intro to system
@@AndyP998 Thank you. I believe I shall check that out.
Awesome series. I'd love to hear your opinions on the Union Corps Commanders like you did for the Confederates in Part 1. Thanks for the videos!!!
Mapwise, I'd encorage sticking with Col. Esposito's atlas.
hopefully you'll be there for the annual reenactment on the Daniel lady farm. my group does living history and reenacting, so well be in the living history section. we would be happy for you to come and listen to the cavalry perspective on the war and our units history. we are the 1st West Virginia cavalry. im sure we would be ok with you filming the conversation as well.
Outstanding. I am planning on being there both days, so I will stop by. As I recall the 1st WV Cavalry was part of Farnsworth's Brigade during the campaign. Alright, see you guys this weekend.
What if Longstreet had Pickett's division on the 2nd day? Would the attack had been successful if Longstreet had his entire Corp available?
