My 5th great GF was one of the 28 who escaped the Goliad Massacre.

Tourists trap

No one talks about how Stevens was forced to go to Baton Rouge by van dorn, the ship was not in fighting condition, and had a literal fraction of its crew (enough to man only 1 cannon) van dorn threatened Stevens with court marshal if he didn’t go to Baton Rouge (he made sure to send brown off to Grenada first)

love this learned a lot thanks for making this

McClellan has first hand seen the carnage of the crimean war. I bet that changed him and make him cautious about attacking and his recon he received was wrong

Reading all these comments about the pronunciation of words gets my nose out of joint. You people passively consume this media and then criticise the creator, not for the substantive content, but for errors in syntax and diction. The videos are excellent and I challenge anyone to watch them and come away confused about what was being discussed. Saying “theatre” or “Cairo” incorrectly just doesn’t matter when the message is still discernible. As an aside, any nation of people who see fit to name a child “Tecumseh” and then have the gall to criticise how others pronounce words is the funniest thing I’ve seen all day. Great videos Warhawk, keep it up.

I was born and raised in pea ridge and were still pretty fuckin pissed about that defeat still in 2024 and we wanna run it back!!

I was stationed near new bern. So many times , i went and venture to check out civil war sites. I was so impressed how well , they preserved their historial District. Near kinston, there ironclad that was being built . The confederates downed it so the union couldn’t get to it

I found books on the NET about New Orleans campaign from 1864 and after the Civil War (8th Vermont's story). Interesting the background of the campaign, that Butler gathered the New England regiments for other aim (for example to strenthen Port Royal, perhaps Burnside at Norh Carolina), but the Brithis American crisis held Butler in New England. Adams works in London well and Lincoln's clever retreat stopped the conflict so the Navy found possibility to bring more troops to Phelps troop in Ship Island Mississippi. What a pity Butler worked as the elephant in the Ceramic shop in New Orleans, because he did well his job except for the women General order 28th. However it was successful to taming the ardent proconfederate women minority 2-3 weeks earlier, but it caused international diplomatic negative echo. Butler "Robin Hood type" action to give job the poors and the good solution of the food crisis of the New Orleans could have calmed down the arden proconfederate minority women only 2-3 weeks later. So the 28th General Order could be positive in balance, but without it Butler would have gotten the quieter city 2-3 weeks later. The the execution of Mumford for tearing down the Union flag was also mistake. I think he would have marked military action and Mumford could have been prisoner of the War instead of Butler made him martyr. The third mistake was, that he did not ask for diplomatic expert from Washington to deal with the proconfederate sentiment foreign consuls. His downfail was from Seward. I think instead of Banks Red River campaign, he would have chosen a Mobile campaign with Farragut in 1864. Funny but his brother and his corruption was positive to feed the hungry 150,000 civilians and to restart the economical life in South Louisiana. I think reading more information.

lol my apartment is literally in the blue part.

The Lincoln quote at the end is inaccurate and misleading. The Civil War for him and the north was fought to preserve the union, not free slaves. This quote was addressing congress but you cut intentionally and it's misleading

Big fan but I was looking forward to seeing the Battle of Richmond have a singular episode

Well done and presented very well 👏

Buckner was a kentuckian and governor of Kentucky after the war.

Interesting video and the story telling isn't too bad (some is taken from other videos). However, you really need to work on some basic pronunciation and diction.

I taught Texas History for three yeàrs, this guys got his facts down !!!

East Tennessee wasn't disloyal, it was loyal to the Union.

“Unconditional Surrender Grant”

MAKE TEXAS A COUNTRY AGAIN

What a tremendous shit show. Thank you for these videos.

After about 2 weeks Butler withdrew the unionist troops from Baton Rouge. He wanted to concentrate his troops round New Orleans. From July Butler began ro muster white Lousianian prounionist regiments, earlier some prounionist lonely men joined to the Northern regiments. Butler the inventor of the contraband slaves law idea, first he began to use the contraband exslaves for team workers, cooks for the Northern regiments. The first African American regiments were mustered by Butler in September. When Lincoln replaced him in December of 1862 Butler had more soldiers than he brought from the North. Baton Rouge was occupied again in December of 1862 . Banks got a ready corps to besiege Port Hudson.

A great article was written about the potential culprit, who recklessly misplaced the order. It was done via in depth detective work and the likely suspect was Henry Kyd Douglas a cigar smoker a staff officer in Jackson's command. It wasn't DH Hill, he never got Lee's copy of order 191 but was able to produce Jackson's years later.

I get the feeling the Union should've abandoned Harper's Ferry. But that's just hindsight talking. Great video.

Powerful description of this battle....

Do Balls Bluff please.

Bice

Great video

Nice title to this video

The US Governor's are not managing the States.

With the Japanese outlaw rebels with the spy ring in the United States of America. What's the federal investigation about when it's really a robbery. To kill Americans as a French Mexico Asian colony.

What's the Mexican General staring at with Haitians in Philadelphia? I thought, they were getting 10k to give for their own happiness to the sports league commissioner?

„Hey Deb, you know all the trouble we‘re having in the Middle East?“ „Yeah, those damn Virginians“ -when you know, you know

1:44 This is 30-Years-War-Erasure!

To see that battle with their own eyes must’ve been a terrifying display of carnage and hell on earth.. great video

How can you cover Austin as “history” and sidestep slavery? S A Austin was a human trafficker plain and simple. It is a shameful history and this video does a real disservice.

damn youtubes getting pretty fliping local

I want to hear more about the " dreaded" Texas rangers. Yes, he actually did say that.

Nice video. I like knowing more about little known battles in any way. Not just the Civil War.

Sam Houston gave a great speech chastising Texas for joining the confederacy

My Mom's Grandfather, Adam Pfleging, was with Co. "C" of the 10th NY Vol Inf. At Gaines Mill he was hit in the left leg by a Minie ball. Taken to a field hospital at Savage Station and captured by the Confederates 3 days later. At Libby Prison Confederate surgeons wanted to amputate his leg however he steadfastly refused. They said let the damn Yankee die. This too he refused to do. The bone knit while in Libby and he was exchanged a few months later. The bullet remained in his leg until 1912 . After 8 unsuccessful operations the bullet tore thru his flesh while changing a poltice on his leg one morning! Although causing him much pain all his life, Pfleging lived to be 80 yrs old and worked as the first verger of the Garden City Cathedral in Garden City, NY most of his life.

Nicely done video

Powerful storytelling! This video brings the intensity and significance of Shiloh to life. Well done!

So the man who wore his uniform proudly while slaughtering prisoners throws it off to protect himself as his men flee before him? Complete cowardice. That man is no Napoleon. I think the texians move to charge rather than stay in line, and trade shots was the better option. If they stood and traded fire, the confusion of the defenders would have subsided, and they would've been able to rally.
