[@NewarkBay357]

The AMERICAN BATTLEFIELD TRUST is Sacred!!! Love you guys. Thanks for everything you do. Special shoutout to Gary...The Super Star of everything Civil War!!!

[@SouthernGentleman]

Awesome! Keep history safe!

[@chasemurraychristopherdola7108]

You said it and also I would add keep history preserved for generations to come

[@bbbvvhk]

And live...

[@jacksonreese17]

From leftists and lost causers

[@markwilson2805]

@Winfield Scott John W. Booth was the greatest thing that ever happened to Lincoln.

[@stephenyoung8069]

It is mind blowing that every inch of this battlefield was not preserved in the 1800s. The thought of losing this forever is heart breaking. If I win the lottery, you guys will be on the short list.

[@tomdynia9951]

I am looking forward to this. I've walked Chancellorsville of course including standing in the median of Highway 3 so I'm hopeful of getting a better grasp on the First Day's battle.

[@liamgreen447]

What an absolute liar. Go away. Nobody believes you.

[@rgbrin]

Thank you ABT...you are doing a great service to our History,,,,,Having relatives on both sides fighting the civil war ,,,,I've always hoped that one day the Chancellorsville home could be rebuilt,,,

[@chars1184]

AWESOME presentation!!! Thanks so much, ABT!!!

[@custerkiller7670]

Loving It! Keep it up

[@chasemurraychristopherdola7108]

You said it

[@atlasmasterdmind4070]

Love this type of content. I just donated through combined federal campaign. I believe what you guys do is vital to protecting and bringing us our military history to the future.

[@Kimchiboy08]

Loving the battle history content that is available these days. Before the internet it was all through books, nothing wrong with that but these types of detailed videos are a dream come true. Especially if you live overseas.

[@stephenyoung8069]

What timing! Just finished the fantastic book Chancellorsville by Stephen W. Sears.

[@Indylimburg]

Last summer I was able to hit Chancellorsville, Spotsylvania, the Wilderness, and Fredericksburg in the same day! It was a day well spent!

[@robsniffen7597]

Love supporting the ABT. Keep up the good work.

[@garyknepper4546]

I visited Chancellorsville several years ago. I never visited any civil war site that touched me as much as the spot where Lee and Jackson had their last meeting before Jackson got shot. It looks almost the same as when they were there. Hauntingly great and I was born a Yankee but have lived in Virginia for the past 54 years. I love anything that has to do with the Civil War. Sad time, but it’s our history.

[@cheaplaughkennedy2318]

Gary Knepper was it Jackson that got shot by his own men ?

[@freestateproductions1790]

Yes Jackson was shot by his own men but he died of Pneumonia after healing from his wounds

[@garyknepper4546]

Cheap Laugh Kennedy yes sir it was. They amputated his arm and he was recovering and then he got pneumonia and died about 8 days later. When he got shot Lee said “Jackson lost his left arm, I have lost my right.” Jackson’s last words were, “let us cross over the river and rest in the shade of the trees.” They are not sure if he was talking about Heaven or if he was reliving a battle.

[@markwilson2805]

There should be a replica of the statue in Baltimore with both Lee and Jackson together put on this battlefield.

[@danchunko3103]

Awesome! Never been b4 cant wait to put what ive read about it into an actual place!

[@stevent9179]

I'm not sold on these virtual tours. I won't have my battle walks this year but I will be present on the hallowed ground of Gettysburg on July 1,2 and 3!

[@josephspinnerbiden3859]

They're going to eventually want compensation for these. Like, "Hey, check out our Virtual Battlefield Tours........... 6 months later....... Subscription is ONLY $25.99!!!!"

[@Stormwriter]

This was awesome! Now do the same thing for every single Civil War battle. :)

[@stanchew9]

My family owned 22 acres which was part of the battlefield and the Government purchased this some 20 years ago to add to the battlefield park. My grandfather who owned the land was Boyd Chewning

[@michaelservey6069]

Will there ever be a continuation of (May the 3rd) video? Seems like that would be a fantastic addition to this video. BTW, loved this video, why I am asking for more detail. Regiments around Chancellor House were well supplied with ammunition and from what I have read lots of fierce fighting on the third (salient fight). Seems most detail about Chancellorsville seems to fine tune Jackson's Flank attack and then the battle is done??? Keeping my fingers crossed for a new video.

[@wes2262]

Where is part two. We ALWAYS hear about that flank attack but there’s more days to this battle.

[@00zero11b]

Keep history alive

[@henrytallent7819]

It seems that there is an ‘Official Eyeware’ of the Battlefield Trust.

[@genes.3285]

Very informative. Thanks. The way things are going, we'll only have virtual tours of the battlefields before long. They'll be decommissioned. Some of these protesters hate everything to do with the Civil War, even though they probably couldn't identify the century in which it took place. That said, at least they could recognize the immense value of the fields from an ecological point of view.

[@hyattgaming2530]

Keep up the great work

[@starcraftmanagement9381]

How do I make contact with these experts to discuss newly discovered Unionville earthworks?

[@evilsix6149]

Does anyone know how to get these virtual tours working in VR?

[@huskydogg7536]

Will be watching despite my German heritage to see if the XI Corps is still on the run.

[@9and7]

Ouch....

[@chasemurraychristopherdola7108]

Well I have German heritage as well but I am going to see if my Irish brothers that fought in the Irish brigade are going to stand for the USA and Ireland

[@SandyQueue]

Mit Sigel?

[@cjm2968]

The Germans in the 11th Corps were every bit brave and soldiery. Do you know that one of them received the Medal of Honor for his bravery at Chancellorsville? I have a list of Confederate casualties on May 2, and a lot of them died at the hands of the 11th. The Germans were used as scapegoats and because of the Lost Cause myth a lie has persisted. They certainly held Jackson up long enough so that he was doing recon in the dark. For all the what if that gos on about Jackson "what if" the 11th Corp did not hold him up that night?

[@andrejslubkans7506]

Unfortunately, I will be unable to join this because I'm scheduled to assist a client. Will this tour be available on youtube or the Trust's website for future viewing?

[@johnzajac9849]

The full name of U.S. Ford was 'United States Gold Mine Ford'. U.S. Ford was the ford across which the Union Army retreated. What argues against Jackson's moving up the Bullock Road is that Lee wanted Jackson to link up with Lee's forces to Jackson's southeast and to avoid further splitting the rebel army. Witnesses to the shooting of Jackson said that the incident occurred on the Plank Road, not the Mountain Road. The witnesses said that Hill and his staff were behind Jackson and his group as they all rode eastward along the Plank Road when the firing occurred.

[@ReformedSooner24]

They’ll come for the battlefield monuments after they’re done with Washington, Lee and Grant.

[@cathalodiubhain5739]

who will?

[@Cannuck1865]

Really? These monuments are on a battlefield that both sides fought on. I dont agree that rebel monuments should be on any battlefield. Remember they were the traitors that fired on the standard and really we should be commemorating the glorious federal, government troops that fought and died at these locations. But at least they are not in the middle of a town square on public property such shame!

[@stevent9179]

Alot of people will have a problem if they come for Gettysburg.

[@ReformedSooner24]

Cathal Ó Diubháin BLM and Antifa. You know, the ones rioting and “protesting” right now? They’re already tearing down all these statues. And defacing monuments. They’re already talking about trying to do something with Mt. Rushmore. These people are full of hate for great Americans and our history and have no chill and no reasoning.

[@ReformedSooner24]

Jeff Fortais Oh so what, all the Texans that fought valiantly FOR TEXAS at Gettysburg and such should just be forgotten and shat on? The war was the price both north and south paid for American slavery. If southern battlefield monuments come down, so do Northern ones.

[@stephenyoung8069]

The men here obviously know far more than I do, and when covering a huge battle in 1hr a lot needs to be left out. A note about with the 32 minute mark. Hooker did say to cook rations and prepare to persue. But this was afternoon. Hooker had ordered that division to fortify at daybreak. If the general would have followed orders he would have had half a day worth of fortifications.

[@matteob.4704]

Lee's perfect battle

[@chasemurraychristopherdola7108]

Matteo B. You said it but I would add hookers defeat and the beginning of the career of the heroic new commander General meade

[@tommyt1357]

Chase Murray black watch Dolan ow hoked was bad if I rember the tourm hocker comb comes from him

[@waynesigmon5628]

I am proud to say my great-great-grandfather serve with 12 North Carolina he was wounded on May 2nd 1863 at the Battle of Chancellorsville my heart bleeds with sorrow see what's going on in this country nowadays tearing down our War memorials nobody is going to make me forget my ancestors stand up against these people these people are communist

[@geraldarmstrong5646]

I just found out that my great great great grandfather was with VI corps capturing Marye’s heights but was wounded on the 3rd of May

[@UCVibes]

Why do they call the United States Army the federalists? They were the Army.

[@markcrampton5549]

The army of the Federal Government Like Federal income tax or Federal prisons.
