This guy is the best civil was history buff

[@HistoryGoneWilder]

Thank you so much. I truly appreciate all the views.

[@kevinmurphy7218]

Your videos are fantastic! I've been slogging through Cozzens after visiting the battle and am just as confused as one of the soldiers on the field. Your videos allow me to understand what I am reading.

[@HistoryGoneWilder]

I'm so happy to hear that.

Orphan Brigade! This is where my ancestor was mortally wounded. 5th/9th Ky.

I hope this animated battle map helped you understand your ancestors actions. Please consider subscribing if you have not done so already and check out my other videos, I think you will enjoy them.

[@brianreid4567]

A battle I wouldn’t mind him doing is either the battle of perryville or stones river

[@HistoryGoneWilder]

I have done both of those battles

[@stevestringer7351]

Very interesting. I had not seen this episode. I am not sure Breckinridge would be able to support a whole series, but I would like to see you give more info on him. What an interesting historical figure he was.

[@Pablo668]

Another great vid. It’s my opinion, gained from reading many different resources about the Civil War, that regardless of who who won any particular battle, the majority of times both armies got badly mauled.

[@forwardobserver6441]

I had plenty of family on the field. One side with the Washington artillery, the others were 36 Alabama- 15 Alabama- and the 10 Tennessee. A few well placed rounds and my family wouldn’t be like it is today. Great channel- great content! Keep it up!!!!

[@totallynotalpharius2283]

My kin were with Wilder on horseshoe ridge

[@Mondo762]

That is impressive. My great grandfather was in the 58th Alabama, in General Stewart's division, the same as the 36th Alabama.

@Doug Bevins The American Constitution did not make slavery illegal in the USA, at the time slavery was legal and practiced in almost every state, do some research on the topic to verify that fact for yourself. So how can you say Confederates fought to overthrow the constitution? By your definition of white supremacy then all the men involved in writing the constitution were white supremacist, otherwise they wouldn't have allowed slavery in any state. So if they were all white supremacist and by your reasoning that is not an American value, then by your logic none of the founding fathers believed in the American values as you know them to be. As far as Confederate soldiers being traitors. The definition of a traitor is someone who commits treason. Dictionary dot com defines treason as reason 1. "the offense of acting to overthrow one's government or to harm or kill its sovereign." Since the states had already seceded from the country of the United States of America and formed their own country called the Confederate States of America, then at that point they had created another country and were no trying to overthrow the United States of America. It was President Lincoln who called for volunteers to put down "the rebellion" which wasn't actually a rebellion once another country has been formed. So the United States was the country attempting and succeeded in overthrowing another country. By your definition all the founding fathers and soldiers of the Continental army were also traitors and committed treason against England. But by the true definition they were not traitors and were not committing treason because they were not trying to overthrow England, but rather form their own country, which also applies to the Confederate States of America.

[@1i1HrnPrpPplEater]

@Doug Bevins So after all what you wrote, the simple question is, did the US Constitution outlaw slavery in the USA? No it did not, so the founding fathers, many of who owned slaves themselves, had no problem with slavery and were white supremacist themselves. And the ones who were against slavery, which obviously did exist, did not care enough about the slavery issue to outlaw it in the constitution, probably because they knew even then it would split the country apart and two countries would have been formed, so apparently the issue didn't matter enough to them to allow that to happen. So while they may have not been white supremacist themselves, they were complicit in it. What gets me is many want to act like white supremacy started with the Confederate States of America, why not just be honest and accept it was in north america prior to the USA even existing as a country. Btw, i was able to respond to you without making off handed remarks and insulting you, as you did to me.

[@1i1HrnPrpPplEater]

@Doug Bevins My point is, which i thought i made very clear in my previous response, is the USA was founded by white supremacist from the beginning, the Confederates did not start it. I have no idea why you are calling me a race hater, i haven't made any comments degrading any race. You seem to have a lot anger and hate within yourself. You love to insult and call people names. But that seems normal for Americans nowadays, you can't have a discussion with someone without personal insults and name calling coming into it.

[@jaywinters2483]

I wish someone would replicate what it sounds like to have that many shots go off in the amount of time it took.

[@bernardprice8551]

Thank you..

[@everydaystoriesanimated2318]

Take command second manassas is the best game ever to play this battle

[@druballard8929]

I really enjoy all your videos. It is a very unique way you do your videos unlike anyone else. I look forward to every one. Thank you for all the hard work it is truly appreciated!

[@guynemer53]

[@peterpiper_203]

Your the only channel I have notifications on for so I don’t miss your live chats and your videos Looking forward for more live ones when it’s acceptable again Thanks for your time Be safe

[@kimberleyannedemong5621]

I enjoyed this video. The animated maps bring more clarity than just reading about the battles. I hope you are well.

[@steveschlackman4503]

You have really stepped up with interesting subjects lately.

[@evandotterer4365]

Imagine 180,000 rounds fired through muzzle loaders... incredible how anyone walked away from this battle

[@bigblue6917]

In the modern era when communications are almost instant, assuming you can get a signal, we forget how haphazard communications could be. Back then you told those concerned what your plans were, assuming those people actually got the orders, and then commenced fighting. Then you crossed you fingers and hoped your plans made sense to your generals, that your generals did what they were supposed to do, and that the enemy did what you wanted them to do. Okay that is something of a simplification but you get what I mean.

[@thomaswatson1739]

Can you do a video on civil war era session it’s like Edmund Ruffin and William Yancey

[@HistoryGoneWilder]

Absolutely. They are fascinating people.

[@charliejohnson1937]

Excellent video. Have you ever considered doing one on the siege of Fort Butler June 28, 1863 and Richard Taylor's attempt to relieve the sieges of Vicksburg and Port Hudson by threatening New Orleans? It is one of the great "what ifs" of the war.

[@tnt-hv6qw]

awesome as always Virginian thank you sir.

[@Jeremyramone]

Was hoping you might consider doing an episode on Ambrose Bierce. He s an exceptional American writer that fought in some battles during the war. His story is quite fascinating and i highly recommend his civil war short stories. Really appreciate your efforts in creating such brilliant productions. Take care.

[@julianlin6467]

i'd suggest doing something in the Trans-Mississippi, such as Pea Ridge or Jenkin's Ferry.

[@HistoryGoneWilder]

I wrote a seminar paper that involved Pea Ridge. That would definitely be a great animated battle map.

[@mjfleming319]

Prairie Grove would be fantastic...the March of the Army of the Frontier’s second division to reach the battle is one of the most phenomenal feats of endurance in the war. The story of the First Kansas Colored regiment, especially the fights at Island Mound and Honey Springs, are some of the most stirring tales of valor from the Trans-Mississippi or any other theater. I’d love to see videos on those topics.

[@jaywinters2483]

I really appreciate you giving us the number of bullets that were fired. You know what would be really cool? If a historian like yourself could figure out how many minutes there were the X amount of bullets were fired. Like say, it were a three hour battle and you could take 191,000 bullets or bullet sounds and divide them evenly into three hours and you could hear what the cadence was like how fast you were hearing gunfire that would be really cool and artificiallyCreate that sound

[@HistoryGoneWilder]

I have my masters degree in history and am hopefully a few months away from my PhD in History. I have presented at some of the largest history conferences from the Society of Civil War Historians to the Society of Military Historians Conference . I contribute to the historiography with original research. I am also a professor. I present facts. My videos range from Civil War to the Revolution and I cover a host of topics.

[@1i1HrnPrpPplEater]

@Doug Bevins The Constitution of the USA came into force in 1789. At the time 8 of the 13 original states slavery was legal, (which made up appx. 80% of all the land mass in the USA) which included some northern states including NY and NJ. Prior to that slavery had been legal in all of the 13 colonies. The Declaration of Independence was written in 1776, but slavery continued in PA until 1780, NH and MA until 1783, CT and RI until 1784. So i contend that your definition of "american values" of the founding fathers is incorrect.

[@1i1HrnPrpPplEater]

@Doug Bevins Oh, the post is back up now, so not sure what happened there and why i couldn't see it for awhile. But you responded to it, so it must have not been too much "crap" as you say. Can you discuss anything without insulting someone? Apparently not.-------------And i responded in the other thread on here, no use having two threads going about the same topic in two different locations. I initially responded here because i thought my other post was deleted and i seen you put up a similar post in this thread, basically posting your same opinion twice in two different places to this video.-----------And concerning Lincoln, he himself was a racist and white supremacist. I am sure you have read what he wrote about African Americans. And he never freed the slaves that were within USA territory or even territory the USA controlled in the Confederacy at the time. ------And concerning Washington, he never freed his slaves, they were to be freed after his wife died, wow, isn't that convenient. So obviously, he was a white supremacist and racist as well, since the definition of that now is anyone who supported slavery.

[@1i1HrnPrpPplEater]

@Doug Bevins By Washington, do you mean Martha? Yeah, she freed her slaves one year before she died, although George had instructed for them not to be freed until after she died. Lincoln made a lot negative comments about African Americans, that is a matter of public record and i thought most everyone was aware of that. And no, he didn't free every slave that he had control over, actually his proclamation only freed slaves in areas he didn't have control over, you have it backwards. You are full of hate. I hope some day you find peace within yourself.

[@bigblue6917]

Something I forgot to mention regarding the number of shots fired. I remember reading about weapons being recovered from Civil War battlefields after the battle which had several rounds loaded but never fired. Soldiers were loading them but in the heat of battle failing to fire them. So they loaded a round but for some reason did not fire it, possibly failing to cock it, then they would load another round. In some cases doing this five or six times. Also of interest was the fact that a number of weapons showed that they had been fired but the barrel had burst where the bullet would have been in the barrel. This may have happened when, having loaded a number of rounds, the soldier finally fired the rifle. And, having several round already loaded, the weapon exploded. I am not for one minute suggesting this was the reason why so many rounds had been fired during this and other battles. But it does show what can happen while under stress. And would be an indicator to why so many round were fired. People often do not perform well under stress.

[@paulmorales3815]

A very good video.are there any books that list the strengths of the regiments for the armies in this battle?

[@onesmoothstone5680]

Illinois, NOT IlliNoise!!!

[@bmille2121]

Definitely a pyric victory.

[@totallynotalpharius2283]

I live right by the chickamauga battlefield and it's always fascinated me that the second bloodiest battle in the entire friggin warv, was won because of an accident . And that the victory was completely wasted Also you should do some What If? Videos . It's always fun to speculate and the civil war is ripe for it

[@seandelaney1136]

Hello, I thank you very much for the content of your videos, i am an English man and I was wondering as to the volume of alcohol consumption of General Lee as I would assume he was near abstinence considering his class and religion. I would appreciate a response in the comments but a video on such a topic would be very welcome thank you. I would also like to add that I have looked into this on the internet and found only vague answers and so I would appreciate a proper response from someone educated on the subject.

[@michaelratliff905]

My GGGrandfather was in the Ky.Bde. and lived through this Battle. Bragg didn't support those Brave Men, ....he was "punishing"his Ky. Soldiers. Gen.Breckinridge, who was also a Kentuckian...as well as he was also Vice President of the United States before the War.. Braggs, Ky. Soldiers detested Bragg,as well as most of his Army's Officers....and his Soldiers too.especially the Kentuckians,.. Bragg knew it, and Bragg, was a very vindictive fellow...
