at 1:05 'lack of cavalry' ?? or Conf cav not utilized well. 7 Cavalry brigades Lee had, only 3 were with Stuart. Lee had cavalry with him the whole time but they were not utilized on day1 or 2. Maybe he didn't have much faith in them......

[@addressinggettysburg]

Right. He didn’t need cavalry. He needed Stuart. But I count Jones, Robertson, Jenkins and Imboden who are within Lee’s reach before Stuart comes back to him with the other three. Did you mean there were 7 brigades in total?

14:45 - Someone really DID say "Hmmmmm"!

😂

[@jasonhamby552]

With Lee was it a heart or a fart issue?

[@addressinggettysburg]

😂😂

[@heynsenene]

Chess is a campaign. Your opening moves may not take the King but are just as important. What if.....J.E.B. WAS on the Gettysburg campaign and he got eliminated by the swift movements of Meade. And what if. Just if. Blaming the loss at Gettysburg on Stuart "not being there" is no different then the silliness of blaming Ewell. Ask yourself again as to WHY Stuart wasnt there. Lee did everything but slap the ass of his horse goodbye. 🐎 hmmmmmm...

[@addressinggettysburg]

Right. The only one to blame is Lee

[@nativeatheist6422]

I heard Gettysburg is haunted, is this true?

[@GhostofSicklesleg]

Depends on your beliefs 🤷‍♂️ I like the walks as entertainment and some info! They are fun

[@addressinggettysburg]

I think many people’s minds are haunted. I’ve lived here 9 years and have yet to see or hear anything that I can’t explain through the magic of thinking

It was never haunted until the 1990s

[@laksivrak2203]

Ask him why the war started in ‘61 but the emancipation proclamation was not until 1863 🤔

[@addressinggettysburg]

The short answer is because there’s a time and a place for everything. Like, why didn’t you do a certain thing in your own life that you now can’t imagine not being a part of your life? Because there was you had to wait for the right time and place. The long answer requires a lot of reading and doesn’t change the fact that the south was wrong and they lost the war.

[@bryanfields5563]

That timing was purely political - The South had the popular & political support to start the war in 1861, but Lincoln and his cabinet didn't feel that they had the political support to announce the Emancipation Proclamation until later, and even then most of his Cabinet were concerned that the people's (and army's) political will wouldn't yet support it.
