wow there's 72 of these and this only has 30k views.. more comprehensive history that you will never see again, even military graduates would completely gloss over this after reading several textbooks, it's completely different in a live wargame

"discovered" You sure about that? You sure there wasn't an entire civilization called the Timucua that was there 2900 years before he arrived? They were wiped off the face of the earth within 2 centuries of Ponce DeLeon arriving.

if only the cofederates had destroyed the bridge, in fact why couldn't they? honest question

McClellan is the fucking worst. It's very obvious.

Also - where was McDowell during the battle? I think about McClellan, Pope, and Burnside all hanging out at their headquarters way behind the battle lines - and not able to make fast adjustments necessary to control the battle. Mead however was in the saddle moving units all over to plug holes as needed.

Yeah, marching to engage the confederates that soon was absolutely a mistake. But I have to infer that the politicians wrongly assumed that the many armature units of drill militias and clubs would already be good enough to use those skills in full battle.

Another outstanding video

Interesting how at the start, the Confederacy tried to have a significantly weak “national” Government with the states themselves exercising self rule. And each state tried to have their own militia and didn’t attempt to operate as a national force. That didn’t last long…

Secessionville sounds like a joke in family guy or something lol

Dang, never thought I'd learn about a rock fight 😂

Would sound 10x better without the A.I. voice over.

Can you imagine fighting for your own property. My great great grandad did in the battle of farmville

I still have my Gg grandad's uniform from every battle with Sw Jackson until right before Chancellorsville,because he was swimming the Chesapeake bay to escape a federal prison camp, he rejoined lees army to serve until Appomattox surrender, as a 50 yo man

If Lincoln had simply ordered McClellan's movements instead of suggesting them, which the general contemptuously ignored, the war would have been over in a couple of weeks. Lincoln was the wisest military mind in all the war. Too bad he trusted the war to one nitwit after another including Grant, who simply won a war, at a cost of 1,000s of lives, he could not possibly lose.

This is home to me and my family! Welcome!! Another interesting thing about Ft. Pulaski is Lt. Robert E. Lee’s involvement in its construction.

Well if one thing is clear, its that General Fannin's cowardice, incompetence, and laziness cost hundreds if not thousands of men their lives. Its almost like he is the first DEI hire in all of TX history, it just happened to be a white dude that talked a big talk but was really not up to the job lol. I'm sure there was no shortage of brave and capable men that would've done a much better job.

Is this narrated by AI? The accent and mispronounciations make me think so

Its BRIGADE not “burg-ade”

Leroy Slocum Jenkins...RIP

It wasnt a story of revenge so much as it was message. It was clear, honor your words, and protect your POWs, and you wont get your asses handed to you in the fields of battle

Antietam is my favorite battle of the Civil War. All the mistakes, all the casualties all the missed opportunities just incredible.. a landscape turned red.

This was not a revolution. It was a coup. And btw the reason for the coup was Mexico did not allow slavery so all you people saying how proud you are think about that.

One of the great questions of the Civil War - what if General Lyon hadn’t been killed. He was aggressive and a good organizer. He outranked Grant and who knows…also, shame on Fremont for not supporting his troops at a critical time. With 50k troops available; just think if he had sent even 10k for the battle. It could have been a complete victory of the Union.

I am so excited for this. Thank you!

Imagine if this guy has to give your eulogy...

I can’t help but muse at couple thoughts. 1) Halleck probed he had ZERO business leading soldiers in the field. 2) Grants and Sherman would soon outrank everyone else. 3) Pope would soon be called East, what is instead Thomas or even Grant has been called? Impossible to really know. But interesting to think about.

One of my great great great uncles was a Captain of the 12th Alabama Light Infantry. Not fond of the confederate side but hey I have ancestors that fought on both sides

There are some apartments at the top of 360, with union works still there. When the apts were built in the 60s, the contractor refused to bulldoze the works, so they still stand in the middle of these apartments.

goddamn man, another amazing video, love the way this was set up and the way you showed specific fjords and their locations. your videos keep getting better and better.

FYI bexar is pronounced bear

Some say the wrong side won, look at the USA today…

Thanks!

History Marche sent me

Some horrid murders committed on settlers in this uprising,ppl who wer friendly to the indians,and help feed them when they wer hungry, terrible betrayal to then horribly murder them

As someone who has spent 10 years doing living history at the presidio, and loves Ehrenberg- this video was a banger

Your pronunciation of Spanish towns is awful

I get hyped every time i see these videos in my feed i be like "lets gooo!" Lol #FightFan !

The battle that is (partially) famous for being the divergence point of Harry Turtledove's TL-191/Southern Victory series.

Excellent job! Love it!

To hell with the Secess long live the Union!

This is great !! Very well done.

Something about the Cornfield that always shocked me out is that the canister shot from the Union's ordinances destroyed everything. Confederate soldiers looked how a member of his brigade and his gun desintegrated in pieces in front of them

You have to be a numbskull if you don't know how many men you have & still think that the enemy outnumber you. McClellan was useless as a commander because he assumed that the enemy always had an advantage over him. Burnside another general not worthy of his position foreshadowing WW1 generals that reinforced failure & failed to exploit success.

I received a copy of my 3rd g grandfather’s Civil War pension file. He was a captain in the 5th NJ, fought and was incapacitated by a shell burst, during the Battle of Seven Pines. An affidavit from his brother, a captain in the 67th (?) NY described how my ancestor was ordered to be moved to the hospital at Savage’s Station. The affidavit went on to say that he was there for only a short while when he was again ordered to evacuate to the James River because the rebels were attacking. He was put in an ambulance but after only a short distance asked to be let out in the field. The ambulance ride made his condition worse. His brother testified that his brother was unable to move. General McClellan came by and saw him laying wounded. Little Mac ordered a horse from a NY cavalry unit be used for final transport. There is a photo of the Savage’s Station hospital and it was taken one day before it was overrun by the Rebs. While it is unlikely, it is fascinating to think my ancestor could have been convalescing in one of the tents in the background when the photo was taken. The timeline of events, coupled with the details in the affidavit written in 1873 (that he had to be evacuated, due to Rebel advances) is pretty cool.

Fairhope, Alabama, is trying to allow a developer to put over 70 homes on a 70-acre plot of literal swamp and wetlands next to a river that floods dramatically during hurricanes. Those 70 acres help slow the flooding. Not only would the people who move into the newly developed homes die from drowning, but so would the people who have lived there for decades and want to keep the wetlands (which is also a historical site) safe. Our city is literally going to agree to kill people and say they have no liability for anyone who dies or is injured by the development.
