Where the Civil War Strikes Twice: Towns and Farms that saw the War Leave and Return

[@SilverFox-fq7xi]

Enjoyed the discussion. Excellent panel of historians!

[@aoac1]

Great chat, all of you! Thanks for the compendium!

[@frankmousser8691]

Love this history and the way you all tell it, im a Hawaiian guy who is just enamored with this time in history, Thanks for telling it and i pray its never forgotten.

[@hanoitripper1809]

This is a really interesting and i think generally unexplored topic. Glad it came up on my recommendations!

[@CivilWarWeekByWeek]

Sad, I missed it but glad I could see the recording

[@kevindale2005]

Cool topic, very interesting. Good work!

[@bassmangotdbluz3547]

Manassas is an interesting one to mention here. Besides the obvious, the 2 Battles fought there, you have the Wilmer McLean caveat. The war literally started in his front yard and ended in his parlor after he fled with his family to Appomattox Courthouse following the 1st Battle of Bull Run. I grew up in western Prince William County, which makes me a Manasshole, but I only realized this in recent years of Civil War history studies.

[@2ezee2011]

good stuff!!

[@jeetjewatspannend]

more of the battle maps plz

[@doughill3396]

Here in mid Tennessee there are lots of markers on state highways marking small battles.

[@APerson-lk3ys]

Btw. Great brainstorm on lesson plans for all those who wish to immerse students into the 'world' surrounding any given battle. Too often we do pay attention too closely to the scale and details of any given battle and forget the affect of that action upon lives and the places forever scarred from the wounds of violence.

"The art of war is simple enough. Find out where your enemy is. Get at him as soon as you can. Strike him as hard as you can, and keep moving on." 💁 US Grant, the man.

[@LanceisLawson]

The my families' ranch was first a Confederate encampment then a skirmish site. Buttons, and bullets are pretty easy to come across.

[@leza6288]

@ Lance Lawson Have you ever metal detect it on the property? I bet you’d find some very interesting artifacts!

[@LanceisLawson]

@@leza6288 Yes we have metal detected and a local Civil War organization did same. Yes a quantity of metal artifacts were discovered.

I would rather see a realistic and truthfully profound diorama. Like mine. Monuments to suffering. The noblest of art forms.

[@bryanfields5563]

DUNKER CHURCH photo for me, Garry - good call!

[@waynelkohrjr.8557]

I love the history of the civil war.

[@markholbrook3949]

The pic that comes to my mind is the 3 rebs leaning against the fence after being taken prisoner during Gettysburg!!

[@APerson-lk3ys]

Glad to get more of this into my news feed than the toxic political pollution crowding up the bandwidth.

[@2012photograph]

A friend from got me hook to Civil War but see some major commanders who have relatives ties to our War independence.

[@ziggy72170]

Wow,, I really enjoyed this..So Interesting ! And a Great Panel. ( And I so want to go see a Civil war reenactment.. I hope this Virus hasn't ruined things forever :( )

[@craftpaint1644]

Texas didn't shut down for a year like other places, our cities don't look like the Apocalypse like Washington DC lol 🙋

[@roxybot9840]

Yeah, the Union or Union Deserters shot my Great Great Grandfather in the back (IN THE BACK), he was an old man trying to escape his burning house. A complete noncombatant. He lived in a wilderness, a dirt poor pioneer and did not own slaves. How many stories are like that. What about their story, stinks.

[@carywest9256]

Where did your ancestor live when he was shot in the back,by those bluebelly devils?

@@historiamowiosobie4515 our family has tried to kept its history over the ages. This story was presented at a local museum by my Cousin who works there.

[@roxybot9840]

I have the medical discharge papers of one of my Grandfathers who fought. He was shot in combat in Chickamauga. Yes, he was a Confederate.

14:35 Confiscating slave owners land at wars end would be ex post facto since slavery was legal when they engaged in it. As for punishment for rebellion, it would have to apply to all southerners or none, not just when it would be a convenient punishment because people needed housing. The government should have instead used public land for slaves to live on. 48:20 The photograph that most captured my attention was the dead confederate artillery men at Antietam with the Dunker church in the background. It represents the waste of war. Young men that had people at home worrying about them, and praying for their safe return, are now just macabre battlefield decorations. All the while, everyone else's lives go on. For me, the big named "heroes" that came out of the war will never measure up to those that lost everything in it.

[@markmullin4246]

So many photos were sobering! :-(

[@waynelkohrjr.8557]

We were all the same people...

@@historiamowiosobie4515 I have a feeling her whole class is based on that work of fiction. I would think more about her inability to cope with reality, but frankly, I don't give a dam.

[@craftpaint1644]

They encouraged their man to fight in many instances, though not reasonable to say all did. People thought the war would be decided quickly - as usual 🤷
