My great great grandfather and my great great great uncle both of the 32nd Tennessee Infantry CSA were in Stewart's Division at Chickamauga

[@ProjectPast1565]

Thanks for sharing. Hard to imagine what they went through.

[@travisbayles870]

@ProjectPast1565 Not just them but what the soldiers of both sides went through The War against Northern Aggression was a very sad affair in American History that could easily been prevented through compromise

Thank you for that fine presentation! My brother-in-law and I, while not visiting the battlefield, were able to watch some of the reenactment of the battle near Ringgold, GA. It must have resonated with him because for a number of years he became a re-enactor himself!

Thank you James! Learned a lot in this one. The personal accounts of what each person experienced is impactful in understanding what actually happened that day in history.

UBELIEVABLE... Thank you James... I LEARNED A LOT. I will watch your series again. GREAT PRESENTATION.

@@ProjectPast1565 It must be extra special being there live James and giving your presentation on the turf. You must feel goose bumps and very deep emotion... STANDING / OVER the very hallowed ground were they ran, rode and cried in charge and pain, lived and died... life and sudden death every where. Thanks again on your ability to bring the dead back to life for a moment in time. GREAT WORK

Another great video in this series. Couldn’t imagine going from the see saw battle in the woods for Carnes battery and one moment you feel you have the enemy on the run only to step foot into open field and have 20+ artillery pieces aimed your way. Good work bud!!!

[@brandonlollis1506]

Do u really believe these brave men would run straight into cannon fire just so a few rich men could own slaves think about it.

[@ProjectPast1565]

I think it’s safe to assume that at that very moment no one was fighting for or against slavery. These men were fighting for each other and hoping to see tomorrow. With that being said, the war itself was about slavery.

[@Rebelmediainc]

@@ProjectPast1565 I started reading your response to this comment with complete agreement, but then at the end I have to kindly and respectfully partially disagree with the war being ONLY about slavery. I am not a person in the, "the war had nothing to do with slavery" camp. It 100% did. America had been fighting over it since the birth of the country , the compromises and the Kansas/ Nebraska act, etc. So obviously it played a major factor in the war. All I'm saying is that saying it was only about slavery is a oversimplification of the conflict when lets be honest, neither side was fighting for the freedom of black Americans. There are always exceptions of course but you know what i'm saying. I think the "safe" response for a lot of folks is to say everything was about slavery but i think the conflict was far more complicated which is why I find it to be endlessly fascinating to study! I love your videos and how you bring these places to life for us! I am working on my Chicamauga video for this Sunday right now and feeling not as excited as I was after watching this video! hahaha! sigh...

[@ProjectPast1565]

I welcome any and all opinions! Especially from you. I do agree the union wasn’t fighting to free the enslaved at the outset of the war but it was still about slavery. The economics and expansion of slavery that is. The initial goal at the outbreak of the war was to preserve the Union. That obviously evolved into emancipation with the growing abolitionist movement in the north. I always wonder, if slavery didn’t exist would the war have happened?

[@Rebelmediainc]

@@ProjectPast1565 I think economics and expansion are two very solid arguments that obviously played a major role in the conflict. The two different economies of north and south also. What I feel is often overlooked is the role of the federal government and the direction of the republic. In many ways I feel George Washington’s America died in 1865. The 10th amendment and the sovereignty of the states were important to Americans back then. All but one of the founding fathers were from Virginia. The south wanted to leave and they were forced to stay or die. They wanted independence, many fought because they were fighting against an invasion. Rich man’s war but poor man’s fight. I think the role of government would’ve led to the conflict regardless of slavery. I do love how you put that btw. Very thoughtful question. I think Americans were a lot bolder and Patriotic back then shall we say then they are today! Haha

[@brian3360]

The rift really began in 1832 with the import/export tax. That legislation had the Southern states with a lower population paying 70-80% of all collected federal taxes. This lead to knock down drag outs on Capitol Hill. The northern states were industrialized but the south was still trading their cotton, tobacco and grains with Europe for goods that the north was wanting to sell the southern states. Those tariffs, as many are, was completely lopsided against southerners.
