Thank you very much for all these military musics and this ceremony of remember of the American Civil War. All this flags and all this soldiers are very beautiful. I love that! From France🇫🇷. With all my friendship. A❤️
Wonderful video Lets hope this continues for another 100 years. A monumental and horrible battle that was a pivotal point in the nation's history. We need to preserve our history not erase it.
Anyone eligible should join the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War to continue honoring those who kept the country together, Irish Brigade Camp #4 Fredericksburg, VA.
I'm sorry, it is not a ceremony, but it is a military parade. I would like to see this parade one day in the future, perhaps in one year or two in Gettysburg with my family. I think will be a great opportunity for me and a great remember. Thank you for this marvelous video on UA-cam. From France 🇫🇷🤗❤️👍👍👍
Our American history tells the story of the Greatest nation on earth, it happened the way it did, leave it alone ! President Lincoln’s favorite song was “Dixie “
Did I miss the 1st Minnesota Vol go by? I want to say they mustered with 1,009 men... Was only expected to get 1,000.. If I remember my state history correctly.
It makes sense in this context. Where it gets a little weird is when people fly Confederate flags because "it's their heritage." Yeah, it's your heritage, but it's an absolutely horrible part of your heritage which you really shouldn't be proud of. You don't see Germans waving the Nazi flag because it's part of their heritage and their history.
@@TorryGood It's protected, but it's still pretty damn stupid to display it. Like I said, it might be part of your history, but it's an absolutely terrible part of your history that you shouldn't be proud of. It'd be like a German flying a swastika because his grandfather served in World War II. That's illegal in Germany, but it's the same idea and same level of stupid.
@@DariusOfPersia i was born and live in pennsylvania. I'm part of union infantry group. Iv had colored people all ready get offended by wearing Federal uniform. Did all confederate soldiers own slaves? No most of them did not, they Enlisted for their state. As I would have done.
@@TorryGood Most Confederate soldiers did not own slaves, true. Whether they owned slaves or not, they were fighting for slavery. They knew that, and they were proud of it. They said as much themselves. Slavery was the entire reason for secession and the war.
NOT "great respect" to participants, but you are 100% correct otherwise: I couldn't believe how careless/sloppy they "marched." The Confederates looked like random deserters out on the street after a night at the local tavern; the Union soldiers looked only slightly better. BOTH sides looked like crap, period. Don't tell me this is the way they marched when on parade in the 1860s -- they definitely did NOT. There's NO reason both sides couldn't look sharp, focused, eyes ahead (not smiling and looking around like fools) and in step/cadence. ...but since they didn't seem to care about any of that, this embarrassing "tradition" will continue as-is. I'm positive if soldiers from back then could see this disgraceful "marching" today they'd be pretty angry being portrayed as no-account rabble. If you're going to do reenactments, TRAIN to do them right and with precision. Save the waddling down the street like a flock of ducks for some other nonsense "living history" BS. -- BR

Very very beautiful this parade for the remembrance Day in Gettysburg. I LOVE 👍 ❤️

If only DeSantis and his cronies realized this.
No Lincoln or Davis?Would have been nice to add them to the parade.
It 's cool still to see Confederate flags on American streets.

Thank you all for remembering and respecting history!
The communists and socialists are not going to like this 😂
Why? Only rightoids are trying to rewrite history.
This is one of my things to do before I die, Gettysburg or BUST! 😁
I’m in this somewhere
21:27 Gen Lee should have been riding his white horse Traveler.
Where were all these guys during the 160th reenactment lol

Surprised they were allowed to fly the Confederate flags; you know how it is these days!

Yeah, it's your heritage, but it's an absolutely horrible part of your heritage which you really shouldn't be proud of.

The battle flag is protected under 1st amendment. People get so salty about that flag any more.
@@TorryGood It's protected, but it's still pretty damn stupid to display it.

Great respect to all who partipate. but when you are wearing a uniform YOU must march to the beat!
