Fun fact: There was wealthy people watching the battle for entertainment at the hills a bit far from the battlefeild. Some of them even had picnics. Unfortunantly for the people watching the battle had to run after the battle when they saw the terrifyed union men running straight towards em.

I think you’re slightly confused on the subject. Since people in the union believed that the war could be won simply by over conquering Richmond, many union civilians took watch to view the battle in what they believed would end the war. They wanted to be there to see the end of the war and so they watched.

The Union Regulars, the disciplined soldiers who'd been in the army before the war started, saved the rest of the routed army. They retreated in good order and any time the pursuing Confederates got too close they would come about and deliver well aimed volleys. The Confederates quickly learned not to press them too closely!

As a long time living historian I was fortunate enough to be an extra in this film as well as Gettysburg. There's been quite a bit of speculation over the years as to whether the nickname Stonewall was intended to be flattering. According to a staff officer with Bernard Bee's South Carolina brigade, Bee actually meant it as an insult. By his account Bee realized he was outflanked and about to get overrun and was looking around desperately for someone to come to his support. He spotted Jackson's Virginia brigade at the top of the hill and sent a courier to tell him to move forward to assist him. Jackson ignored the request and held his position. It soon became obvious that Bee's position was no longer tenable and when a regimental commander asked about the status of reinforcements a furious General Bee pointed to the top of the hill and responded "Jackson's standing there like a stonewall". As the line began to crumble and his men started to run away Bee rode among them ordering them to "Rally behind the Virginians". Bee would be shot and killed a few moments later so nobody will ever know what he was implying with his comment.

Very cool, I find that the battles in Gods and Generals seem to be much more realistic both with the visuals and audio than Gettysburg. Did they use stock sounds for a lot of the scenes in Gettysburg? I can tell in the first movie that the rifles actually sound like rifles of that period being fired, albeit without the live rounds of course. Whereas in Gettysburg, gunshots sound more like they were added on in post. Gods and generals also had a lot of line on line, formation type fighting, whereas Gettysburg seemed a bit smaller scale with the quick cuts and tunneled field of view. The battles also seemed to have a lot more undisciplined skirmishing. I was also wondering if for the scenes that show the different divisions advancing like in the battle of Chancellorsville, whether or not they just had you guys move around and switch positions to make it seem more varied instead of having it look like it was the same hundred odd guys marching just with a different officer/actor at the front or the rear

@@snarfer5612 You have to remember that Gettysburg was filmed several years before Gods & Generals so there is a distinct difference in the production quality. There was actually quiet a bit of post production gunfire sound effects added to both films. Now the Picketts Charge scenes in Gettysburg were pretty much left alone because we had almost 3,000 reenactors on hand to generate a believable volume of gunfire. Gods &Generals didn't involve nearly as many reenactors but the more advanced filming technology made a huge difference. In Gettysburg every soldier you see is a real person whereas there is some CGI work in Gods &Generals. But for both films we would move guys around, change uniforms, change sides, etc. They would shoot several takes from different angles, move people around, do it again, and then edit it all together. For instance in Gettysburg I can be seen charging across the field as a Confederate soldier and then about 15 seconds later I'm seen in blue seemingly shooting at myself and a friend of mine can be seen dying 3 times during Picketts charge. In Gods &Generals I was one of Stonewall Jackson's men at the battle of Manassas, then appear with the Irish Brigade at Fredericksburg and die, and then turn up again with Stonewall during the Chancellorsville battle scenes. I didn't get paid a dime but I loved every second of it and hope that you enjoy the films as much as I enjoyed helping to bring them to life for you.

​@@johnnychaos152 Thank you for the reply, your insights and experiences are very cool! Things like this make me really appreciate all the work and attention to detail they went through for these movies. I've always wondered how often big reenactment battles like this happen, or even smaller ones. Aside from the cost of getting all the gear, rifles, etc. is it hard to get into reenacting? I live near Cowpens, South Carolina so I'd think there'd be some kind of community around here for that. I'd be sincerely grateful for any insight or tips into reenacting in general, for either the Civil War or the Revolutionary War.

@@snarfer5612 No problem. I know that Civil War reenacting was really booming in the mid to late 90s. It's definitely dropped off in recent years thanks in large part to politics and far less appreciation for history among young people. I myself grew up in West Virginia which was actually formed during the War and there are reminders of it everywhere. I got a book about the war from the school library when I was in 3rd grade and I've been hooked ever since. As far as the hobby itself, there used to be hundreds of groups all over the US as well as in Ireland and Germany that I know of. A lot of groups have loaner gear with which to outfit you for a couple of events so you can determine if it's something that you want to stick with before you invest your money into it. A lot of it depends on your leanings as well. Some guys will only do Union and other guys will only do Confederate. The unit I was with actually did both so we had to have two different uniforms. Some groups portray specific units and have fairly strict uniform guidelines whereas groups like mine did a more generic impression that would be accurate for any time period of the war and would be appropriate for any theater of it. I know there is a prominent group in your State that portrays the 6th South Carolina Infantry and they are really good. I believe they also put on the blue from time to time. They have a homepage full of useful resources and contact information so that might be a good place to start. From my personal experience some of the nicest people I've ever met were reenactors. I myself don't do a lot of the mega reenactments these days. I prefer to do local living history presentations and talk to a lot of school groups which is very cool. The textbooks these days are extremely watered down and not entirely accurate when it comes to a lot of American History so I enjoy the opportunity to have a clear cut, no BS, conversation with the younger generation about what I consider to be the most pivotal moment in the history of this Country. I hope that you find a reenacting home and always remember that we're not here to refight the war, we're here to educate!

It's even more bizarre in the 17th and 18th centuries. The European armies still observed the traditions of Chivalry and Honor that came out of the horrific brutality of the dark and medieval ages; also the rifles took MUCH longer to reload than the rifles in the American Civil War (and had much shorter range, and much less accuracy). So, columns of opposing soldiers would literally slowly march up to each other, get in range, then just take turns slowly blasting the other side, then reloading. I mean, truly bizarre when you consider how most of the history of warfare in the world has been. Alexander would've looked at that and wondered "these kings can't be serious, right? why... why not use like, cover? tactics?" it was a TRULY bizarre time. The warfare became so nonsensical to EVERYONE, including the monarchs, that within a century or two, it ushered in the Age of Reason/Enlightenment.

There was no "unwritten policy" among Union soldiers to shoot Confederate prisoners of war. In fact prisoner of war camps were operated by both sides, with their populations swelling after the end of large scale prisoner exchanges in August 1863 (a result of the Confederacy's decree that that neither captured black soldiers nor their white officers would be subject to exchange).

It would not be a problem to change the position to have cover or, like the Prussians, take sandbags with you to quickly set up a field fortification PLUS having some kind of "primitive" bullet proof vest. The key point is that there is no way to reload a muzzle loader when you lie down, cower/squat or while sitting. You can only reload it while standing. As long as they used the muzzle-loading systems, there was no way to copy the far better warfare of the Prussian army.

@Andy Mo - The problem is Gen. Lee knew the South can't fight a long drawn out war. The North is slowly gaining more other states joining the Union in the war, specially with their bigger industrial strength and larger population than the South. While the South is being choked on supplies. The only way for the South to win the war is to end it as soon as possible. Remember Gen. Lee is only head of the Army of North Virginia not of the entire Confederate South. Being severely always outnumbered and less equipt than the North, it is only his sheer genius that the South lasted that long.

Later that day, when Lincoln's army was in flight, Jefferson Davis arrived on the scene. Jackson asked him for several brigades, and assured him he could take Washington City,(D.C.). Davis appreciated his zeal, and the veracity of Jackson's proposal, but firmly declined. Davis made it clear that the Confederate States were diametrically opposed to conquest or coercion of any other State, as a matter of official policy and strategy, which was the intent of the socialist Lincoln regime. We showed mercy to Lincoln's regime, but they despised it. Mercy is a Holy thing, and we erred in giving it to a despotic dog tyrant, who had no regard for the blood of others, North or South. Give not that which is Holy unto dogs, neither cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under foot, then turn and rend you.

Regiments of red-uniformed "Zouaves" were raised on both sides in the secession war of 1861-65. They were not in the French service: it was just another American military fancy dress. The ones in this battle (First Manassas) were the New York Fire Zouaves. Both sides also raised Highland regiments who fought in kilts and marched to the pipes. Not many of them were actual Scots Highlanders, to be sure!

I think Hollywood really gets what these battles actually looked like wrong. They fought in messy lines slowing lurching at each other from disorganized masses of men confused, approaching each other in piecemeal brigades and regiments. Clumping behind cover and using the terrain until you have had enough and break. I mean to say this was the dawn of the skirmish line as the main linear formation. Hollywood shows them fighting as if it were their grandparents on some distant wide open European battlefield where they faced down smoothbore muskets and the ever present danger of elite Calvary men.

Some things about this video, The statement that there was an unwritten policy to kill Confederate prisoners-of-war (POWs) is not entirely true. By Bull Run, neither side was prepared for a full fledged war. As such, until 1863, they relied largely on paroling and exchanging prisoners. Many captured in the field were held, paroled, and sent back. However, they weren't immediately released from their parole once repatriated. They were held in camps until a proper exchange was made where an equal number of prisoners on both sides were exchanged, or exchanged depending upon rank-a general be worth so many privates and such. There was a policy by the Union to execute Confederate guerrillas during the war, as it was allowed by rules of war of the time. Guerrillas largely wore civilian or captured Union uniforms and used them to their advantage. At Mine Creek, Kansas on 25 October 1864, after routing the Confederates, Union cavalry charged into their midst. They had been given the order than any Confederate found wearing an article of Union uniform-pants, blouse, cap, etc, was to be executed on the spot. This order was carried out. How many were killed is not known exactly. But, this wasn't a blanket order for all Union forces. On the subject of uniforms, the Battle of Bull Run (1st Manassas), the Army of Northern Virginia (Union, yes, that's what it was called at the time of the battle) and the Army of the Potomac (Confederates, again, yes, that's what it was called-eventually the names were changed when they gained new commanders) were filled with volunteers were all over their lands and each regiment had their own unique flare in uniforms. The men in red shirts I believe were the 11th New York (Fire Zouaves) recruited from New York City firemen. Many Union regiments came in wearing grey uniforms and many Confederate regiments wore blue. One company, Company K (Continental Morgan Guard)-5th Virginia Regiment of the 'Stonewall Brigade'-turned out in their Continental uniforms complete with tri-corner hats. Other regiments wore French inspired Zouave uniforms of North Africa, red fez caps, blue vests with ornate red trim, and baggy red pantaloons. These mixes in colors led to a great deal of confusion, hesitation, and friendly fire during 1st Bull Run.

Murat's charge at Pruss-Eylau was a typical example.

@@pyry1948 Oh, hey! I know this myth! 1% of the American population owned slaves in 1860, according to a census taken at the time. It would be strange if Southerners were willing to fight an entire war over the "property" rights of such a small population, wouldn't it? But look at the wording - that census recorded the percentage of AMERICANS who owned slaves, not Southerners; it included Northerners, who had banned slavery, and slaves themselves. When you restrict the dataset to Southerners, it turns out that closer to 5% of them owned slaves. This number is misleading as well, however; say you have a family of seven that owns and profits from a plantation worked by slaves. Their food is cooked by slaves, their clothes are mended by slaves, their dishes are cleaned by slaves - pretty much all of their manual and domestic labor is performed by slaves. Who, in this family of seven, will be recorded as owning a slave for the purposes of our census? Just one - probably the husband. All seven benefit from and likely command/torture slaves, but only one "owns" slaves. Adjusting for the statistical noise generated by this family problem I just referred to, the overall number is closer to 25% of people (households) owning slaves. This varied from state to state; in some states, this figure approaches 50%. Also not included in our census data are the families who were too poor to own slaves and instead "rented" them from richer families. Similarly not included are those who were too poor to rent or buy slaves, but aspired to do so and supported the right to own slaves because they thought they were going to do it one day. In light of all those factors, this much is evident: the South in 1860 was a slave state. A huge portion of the Southern population owned slaves, another portion rented them, and another portion yet WANTED to own them and supported the right to do so. That's the main reason why the South seceded - to protect their ability to own human beings.

@@leviuhrig2487 One of the reasons why the questions of state's rights is always brought up is that is a current and legitimate reason to break away, even if the particular topic of contention is over something like slavery. This true for the CSA then, just as it is true for Brexit, Scotland referendum, Crimea referendum, Hong Kong, and Catalonia referendum today. Also it is comparable that the lives of POOR whites (rich whites is another story) was in many but different ways just as bad as it was for black slaves. A black slave had zero guaranteed freedom and had to work in any way that pleased the slave owner including as a sex slave sometimes with the possibility of having their family ripped apart and sold separately or face non-judicial punishment including torture, but was certain to receive all the necessities for life like food, water, shelter, and even healthcare as stated in the state laws of the slave states. A poor white by comparison had the "freedom" to either work on a farm where at any time they could be killed by Indian raids, disease, famine, or any manner of natural evils with zero support from society save their own family group in walking distance or the "choice" to work in one of the northern urban industrial hell-scapes working 16+ hour days literally chained to the assembly line with not even as much as a bathroom break without permission. Or they could just starve. And neither group had the right to vote, male or female, as you had to own property to vote back then.

@@ColinTherac117 I don't want to spend too much time on this reply because otherwise I would be guilty of getting lost in the dirty and largely unnecessary quagmire of comment section arguments, but there are a few interesting points about your response I want to highlight. The first is that, without expanding upon your reasons for thinking this way, you posit that a state's "right" to allow its citizens to possess slaves is a legitimate reason for seceding from a larger democratic union, and, further, that this secession is ethically on par with modern independence movements. There are a number of differences between the two, but most relevant here is the fact that the modern movements you mention are largely pro-democracy and in favor of MORE individual rights rather than fewer. The Confederates, on the other hand, were actually afraid of democracy and what it might entail; they didn't like the result of a few elections, they didn't like the way public opinion was shifting, and they especially didn't like the idea of a certain subgroup within their population gaining the right to participate democratically. It is also interesting to compare your theory of the Southerners as champions of "states rights" with the fact that these same Southerners were vehemently opposed to a state's right to, say, aid in the flight of runaway slaves. American Southerners didn't seem to have a problem with invoking federal power when it involved bolstering their ability to own other people. Perhaps this "right to secede" you allude to exists independent of the Confederates' intentions, but I reckon that the Confederates would be very surprised to hear that. What you have introduced is a poorly-substantiated political philosophy. It is not history. I'm not going to go through and research each point you've mentioned comparing poor whites to slaves, for two reasons. First, it's not especially relevant; conditions being poor for one group do not justify government-endorsed poor conditions for another group. Second, it is clear to me that you are not arguing in good faith - I know this from a cursory analysis of your final point. Almost none of the Southern states had property ownership as a prerequisite for voting rights, and, of those which did, most of them got rid of those restrictions throughout the first half of the 19th century. By 1856, there were no states which required white men to own property to vote. If you don't believe me, here is my source: economics.yale.edu/sites/default/files/files/Workshops-Seminars/Economic-History/sokoloff-050406.pdf (see chart on p. 35) I do not feel obliged to research or argue against your other points when it is so clearly evident that you have not sufficiently researched these points yourself.

I didn't think there was much of a point in saying in you're opinion that Jackson was a better General than Longstreet... If Lee listened to Longstreet at Gettysburg then the CSA most likely wins the Civil War. Did you know at Fredricksburg that Jackson asked Lee numerous times for permission to attack instead of holding defensive positions... Jackson gets a lot of credit as he should & the CSA definitely wasn't the same without him... Later in the war when Longstreet would go out to TN to fight with Bragg who was getting his but kicked by Grant... Longstreet still wasn't given overall command of the Army... Honestly the CSA wasted Longstreet in 2 serious ways... 1st was Lee not listening to him at Gettysburg... Longstreet didn't want to attack on day 1, day 2 & damn sure didn't want to send in Pickett! Again if Lee had listened to Longstreet & they had retreated on Day 1 & went & gained some high ground in between the Union Army & Washington DC... That was the chance they were looking for & Lee wasted it! The 2nd was they had to stop or at least slow the Union down from taking control of the TN river. After TN lost Albert Sydney Johnson at Shiloh & Bragg took over it was just retreat after retreat... Then they finally sent Longstreet & his corp out to TN yet Bragg still had overall command... So you are wasting a great General both at Gettysburg & when he was sent to TN. It would be the same if you had sent Jackson out to TN just to be under the command of Braxton Bragg... What a waste of time, lives & resources.

Jackson and Lee were both brilliant tactical commanders. The Shenandoah campaign showed Jackson's ability to use logistics and defeat in detail to perfection. Longstreet imho was a far better overall strategist. He was against engaging in Gettysburg, and was always wary of troop casualties suffered - something that Lee and Jackson didn't do in the same degree.

*strategic commanders. When it came to tactics both Jackson and Lee were average, while winning offensive battles (the cult of the offensive being popular in warfare at the time) they would suffer high casualties, which the confederacy couldn’t afford to lose.

I remember learning that soldiers would just stand in lines to shoot at each other, not even thinking of having any protection in front of them aside from the enemy’s poor aim, and thinking how stupid that sounded even as a kid. Don’t give them something to shoot at!

it was necessary, though it was starting to change around this time. For a long time firearms were pretty inaccurate and the most effective way to use them and maintain good volume of fire was to keep men in close rank so precise orders could be given through bugles, drums, or shouting. nowadays you can spread guys out further and maintain good cohesion and volume of fire thanks to radios, but that obviously wasn't possible back then.

Jackson wasn’t better then Longstreet. He had moments of brilliance but also screwed up a lot. Longstreet was reliable throughout the war and often knew when it was better to not attack since csa was almost always behind in men whereas Jackson could be overly aggressive and engage in assaults that cost to many men

Bayonet charges and the like had essentially died off at this point. Don't get me wrong, they were still used. With the adoption of firearms, it became harder to convince people to brutally stab each other to death. Defenders mostly routed when faced with a bayonet charge.

what Imperator Glaber said also a lot of the confederate officers had just left the union army so wore what they had, also at this point in history regiments (about 1000 dudes) were the base unit and each was raised independently and equipped themselves so for example the northern 11th new york wore red, confusion this battle caused made both sides push for uniformity

This was basically the first major battle. the Confederacy didnt have officers uniforms made, a couple union units were wearing butternut and gray uniforms. Uniforms were generally a secondary thing for the Confederacy and there was a lot more leeway for people to wear what they wanted, they could buy their own custom kepis, slouch hats, straw hats etc. It wasnt until 1865 that the Confederate uniforms were really and truly standardized general Lee even wore a colonels uniform despite being a general iirc.
