Volume 4 of 4… The final display of some of the more unique and important uniforms to represent the evolution of the American Civil War “Blue and Grey” from just before the spark of the war in 1861 to Union victory and occupation in 1865.
This project is meant to honor men from both the north and the south -- now together forever in eternity - who served their countries, their states and their comrades while wearing these uniforms, weapons, and accouterments - during some of the most brutal battles Americans have ever faced. Shot in 4K and featuring some of the best Living Historians in the country.
As accurately as we possibly could, and one uniform at a time.… telling the story of the 2.75 Million soldiers who once wore these sacks coats, shell jackets and kepis with pride - each soldier earning a debt we should all be duty-bound to continue to honor.
Directed/Produced: Kevin R. Hershberger
Cinematography: Hugh Burruss
Costumers & Featuring: Tyler Grecco, Nathan Hoffman, Connor Timony, Brennan Wheatley, Eric Smallwood… as well as Tr’waan Coles, David Leehy, Scott Rittwage, Philip A. Wrencher & Justin Young.

Been a keen student of the American Civil War all my life,but it breaks my heart to witness the suffering endured by the participants of both sides. I can quite believe that men cried seeing the carnage after the battles. War is a nightmare never woken from.

I Hope you can answer my question. I read a long article about the relationships between the Holy See of Rome (pope Pious lX, 1846-1878) and the CSA. He was the only leader in Europe that called Jefferson Davis as "Mr president of the CSA" and so the press of that period wrote that the papacy had recognized de facto the Indipendent South. The CSA generals Beauregard and Longstreet were catholic. The South had Also a population of irish descent that fought for the CSA. After the civil war , catholics were discriminated, persecuted and Lynched and the KKK was openly anti-catholic. What has happened? Why this hate towards catholics? Thank you in Advance. All the best.

Marley Matthews Today me? I’d have probably fought for Texas. If that ment fighting for the South so be it. Even if I trusted Sam Houston’s words that this war would do nothing but bring about ruin to the south and to Texas I’d still fight for my home. Or rather I’d end up fighting and I could never turn on and fight against Texas. Even if the confederacy was started out of the desperate attempt of the Southern aristocracy and politicians to preserve slavery. There’s no way in hell, heaven or earth that I’d turn against my state and my people. Hope that answers your question.

Historical reenactor here! I know a lot of the guys in this video too. Yes, the uniforms take a lot of care and time to assemble. If you're not skilled at sewing, it can be around 4 to 6 months to get a finished garment, not even factoring in the cost. Most jackets will be around 250-400. They can be made at a fraction of the price, but are difficult to assemble, if you're not familiar with how to sew garments of the era. The aging is done from attending events and wearing the stuff. When it's properly use, it ages like the originals. At least with my stuff, I don't artificially age it. I use it to get that "look"

I'm enchanted even by the "atmosphere" in which the uniforms are displaied, the faces are serious and in some way melancolic .. so you feel the historical time in which those men lived and the great tragic event in whch they took part, it's like jumping on an incredible time-machine and meet the real men who made the past, really an enchanting experience and the most pure form of living history. Congrats and THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

I noticed that the VMI and others have the the bayonet sheathed in reverse and that the socket will poke them in the ribs. Some were high numbered unis. New York State had an 101st Militia Infantry Regiment, but some lower numbered units were never organized because few, or no one signed up. The few were put in other units. Same for the Cav and artillery. 1:10)) Some units were referred to as USCT. They were state militia infantry.The blue facings and the letter K means a state unit.There are no blue leg stripes.Regular Army(RA) units went up to I Troop, or I Company.Troops are Cavalry. It was after the war's end (August 1866) that the 9th & 10th US Cavalry Regiments were authorized by Congress.The 22nd & 23rd Inf. Regts. were also created. 2:08)) The Union Army Major General's coat has buttons of a Maj. Gen. commanding 3 divisions instead of one. No bigger 3rd star on the shoulder straps.Wearing US Cavalry boots. Brigadier Generals (O-7) and Maj. Gen.(O-8) worn infantry boots. The Officers Cord was Cavalry.Another militia uniform? 9:06) Was this another German unit? Pioneers are Engineers!!

Original uniforms would be in delicate condition, but some of them look worn and genuine. Most of the weapons and accoutrements look real. My Grandfather gave me 4 Civil war swords given to him by a veteran. A Pattern 1853 British Cavalry saber made by Robert Mole and an 1842 Enfield sword bayonet used on a Brunswick Rifle... both used by the Confederate forces. I also have an 1861 Harpers Weekly.

If you do that on a regular basis it doesn't take long to get the right wear and tear. A lot of these guys also make some of the best reproductions available today.

Confederate Army Commanding General - the uniform shown here is a Colonel's uniform and I assume it is to represent General Lee. Although Lee was the commanding General of the Army of Northern Virginia, he never wore a Generals rank.. Lee stated he would not put on his Generals rank till the war was won and continued to wear his highest rank in the Federal Army, Colonel. He only Commanded the Army of Northern Virginia, he had no authority over any other Confederate Army. Unlike General Grant who was the Commander of all Federal Forces everywhere.

Dana-Leigh Macroberts good message but 2.5 million didn't die in the civil war. More like 500,000-600,000 casualties (casualties being killed, wounded and missing). Over the course of 4yrs. And it was slow going up until mid 1863, then it got real bad. I feel that number should represent the enlisted, plus those who helped. Enlisted numbers being around 1.7 million with both sides combined.

Dana-Leigh Macroberts that's a good point on the civilians. It's possible but they did keep good records of what the armies did. Like they were regularly attacked by civilians who didn't want them in their town. Slaves might be another. The south "employed" slaves to work cannons at the beginning. And officers usually had them with them. Plus once Sherman started to scorch the earth and head to the sea, one of his problems which he never fixed was what to do with slaves he freed. He couldn't send them anywhere as they were in enemy territory, so they (the freed people) took to following the army. Well a lot starved and many more succumbed to the elements. 2.5 is very large. But add total casualties of both sides, civilians, slaves and freed people, it would easily exceed 1 million but maybe not 2.

@@tobyoneil1969 well the next question is what was the population of the confederate held territories during the conflict? we know both from offical and folk sources that farm raids where a common thing the union sacked far in the south and the confederates sacked farms loyal to the union. the Kansas red legs where infamous for doing this. the red legs made quantrails raiders look like choir boys. then to sherman's march saw the mass murder of soft targets at a very high level. so much so that in high school we tried him for war crimes according to standards of the time. he was still found guilty.

Dana-Leigh Macroberts White population 4-5 million. Black population 5-6 million. The north had more casualties the the south (gee thanks Grant). I want to say the raiders of the south were way worse. I know little of the red legs but quantril was bad, as were those other big three in the Missouri area. They often did awful things. Onto Sherman, if you judge him by the standards of the day, he did nothing out of order. It might not have have been good but it wasn't illegal. He had the support of the entire war department in the west and Washington, which was the only recognised US capital city. By modern standards it's a war crime. Such needless destruction and loss of life for those only loosely aligned with the enemy (all of the western southern states often wavered between north and south support, with some of the western seceded states being allowed to vote in the 1864 election). Either way, his march cut the capital (Richmond) off and created a new two front War in the east, one front being the highly aggressive Grant in Virginia, the other being the more reserved but of equal aggression Sherman to the south in the Carolinas. Bad business but vital to bring the war to a close. Edit- Just did some research on Red Legs. For some reason I thought they were Rebs. But their creation was a response to the southern guerrillas operating across the borders, so I stand with the south had the worst raiders.

Why are the military Chevrons pointing down instead of up?!

19th Century chevrons were worn point down. In the smoky, black powder environment of the 19th-Century battlefield chevrons needed to be large so they could be seen. In 1902 chevrons were redesigned and worn point up. With smokeless powder and accurate firearms smaller chevrons were necessary to avoid making noncommissioned officers targets.

It's actually blue. They had pillaged the Union supply depot at Harper's Ferry and showed up at the battle of Antietam wearing miscellaneous parts of Yankee uniforms.

one more evidence that the ragged rebel in torn apart uniform is a legend and northern propaganda. in the trenches of Petersburg, they wore well feated uniforms.

It's actually a lost cause myth. A ragged rebel losing to a more well equipped force is more romantic than a well equipped force losing to another well equipped force.

If you close your eyes and dream, you can Otherwise, they probably wore whatever was available in Richmond; since the confederates only mustered one semi-regiment there and it happened at the end of the war when they were getting thrashed anyways.

2:46 - Well done. General Lee was a Lieutenant General, but he wore the rank of a Colonel. He had his reasons. His uniform is presented correctly here. 6:53 - Odd that only one Confederate soldier is depicted wearing butternut brown. As the war dragged on, resources became ever more constricted for the South, and I thought more southern soldiers wore homespun (brown).
@johnnychaos152
@johnnychaos152 4 жыл бұрын
The homespun look was pretty prominent around 1862 until the supply depots were up and running. There was a ton of English Army cloth making it through the blockade shortly thereafter. That's the bluish gray uniform depicted here. It should be noted that the use of the light brown toned jean cloth persisted in the western and deep south clothing depots. But contrary to popular belief Lee's Army of Northern Virginia was actually well uniformed later in the war.

I'm surprised that ya'll didn't show the special arsonist troop uniforms from the Army of the Tennessee. Correct me if I'm wrong, didn't their uniforms have a special patch on the sleeve awarded after so many campaigns against women and children? Hmm, I always thought so.
