[@MrJames-tw3so]

I do feel he die with Honor. He could of just ran away from the battle. There's a scene in the movie Lincoln where Lincoln wakes his youngest son and shows him a letter he received about a boy who broke his family horses legs so he didn't have to go and fight. The letter said the boy was to be hanged for it and only Lincoln himself could stop it(pardon the boy that is) which is what he did and said there need not be anymore killing or dead unnecessary. Made me wonder could this boy have done the same and also get set free,probably not. So he did what he Country told him to do and there is Honor in that.

They say that if you have a fatal injury you get extremely thirsty because that is your brain’s only way that knows how to remedy the body, is to give it more water. Our bodies are like 70% water and so it’s just a natural response. If you are critically wounded and are super thirsty that is the end, unless you get immediate critical care.

[@soundfridge3431]

It's because as you bleed out, your blood pressure begins to drop precipitously, reducing perfusion to the brain. So the brain calls out for water to "stretch" the blood. This is why you always see paramedics and ER doctors pushing Ringer's Lactate; the immediate emergency is blood pressure dropping to insufficient fluid volume and organ collapse.

[@AnonYmous-ry2jn]

In Mrs. Miniver a young woman (newlywed, to make it that much sadder) is hit by stray gunfire from a dogfight happening overhead. The mother-in-law, whom she's with, gets her home and eases her onto the floor to rest. A few moments later, the young woman asks for water, as her faculties are starting to fade. At that moment, the mother-in-law doesn't know whether she should accommodate the request, which means leaving her side, or staying with her so she won't die alone. She makes a split second decision to get the water, and when she returns with it, just a few seconds later, her daughter-in-law is already dead. A great, super-sad scene similarly to this one showing death being preceded by sudden severe thirst.

[@ihategoogleplus5308]

I like how this movie made no attempt to justify the Confederacy or defend their actions, and in fact showed how horrible it was, but nevertheless dared to show that they were human beings. And that most of the ones doing the actual fighting were just doing so for the same reason most soldiers serve in times of total war- because they were told to.

WW1, yeah. The American Civil War was when the accuracy of weapons fire had finally tilted the advantage to the defense because of the rifling of gun barrels. Prior to that, smooth bore muskets were used and they had poor accuracy, so a whole regiment in a line, shoulder to shoulder, would act like a big giant shot gun basically. Napoleon came a long and added closing swiftly to engage with bayonets as soon as possible. Wellington then came along and countered that with making sure his troops were behind the ridges of reverse slopes, and at Waterloo he had his troops on the elevated side of the battlefield and told his troops to get their colorful red coats dirty by lying on the ground. In essence Wellington did trench warfare before there were trenches. He was more than a few paradigms ahead of Napoleon, and hence the better general. The problem with the Civil War was that professional army went mostly to the Confederacy as leaders, leaving the Union with mostly leaders who had to learn by doing and hence did what Napoleon did, even though he was no longer the last word on tactics. (More than a few Civil War generals had pictures made of themselves putting a hand inside their frock coats like Napoleon). Gen. Lee followed Wellington. The main thing his army did was move as the attacker strategically, but when at the actual battle, move to the best available high ground and defend it. It was Grant who was the one who figured out that such a war could only be won by accepting unacceptably high casualties as the attacker. Previous Union generals would be stunned by the unpresidented casualties and break off their attacks after the initial battle. Grant just picked up and kept going, one battle after another. Sun Tzu in his "Art of War" says 'never fight with an enemy for too long or they were learn how to beat you. " That's what happened at Gettysburg. The first Union general there, Buford, saw the rebs coming to Gettyburg, and looked around him and all the hills and ridges around him and immediately knew that if he did hold the rebs in place, they would go right to the ridges and force a blood defense there. That time the Union got to the ridges first. As for WW I, the Prussian army had observers in the US during the Civil War. They learned a great deal about using railroads to move massive amounts of troops quickly. And they learned how accurate and fast weapons fire had changed infantry tactics. The French - they fell back on Napoleon. Now look what you gone and made me do. Can't stop once I get started.

[@rexringtail471]

Gen. Longstreet was very prescient predicting the rise of trench war and the dominance of defensive tactics and weapons over offensive ones at that time. He repeatedly urged Lee to fight a WW1 style trench war of attrition against the Union instead of a Napoleonic war of maneuver. Fortunately for the USA, he was not the main guy in charge, or the war would have been much bloodier and would likely have ended in a negotiated peace and surviving confederacy rather than a united nation

English and German observers didn't realize this was also on store of Old Europe 50 years later. Especially the slaughter of cold harbor which was a mini Verdun. And only the lack of machine guns i.e Gaitling guns, prevented the Confederacy to create an endless stalemate. Which was lucky for the Union...

[@agentsnorlson7913]

If you stop to help then you're a sitting duck that can't do anything to help the attack (which would help the wounded by removing the enemy and allowing others to help). Pressing on was the sanest thing to do.

Why did the sharpshooter want to shoot the kids instead of the squad that charged out from the trenches

[@genericfakename8197]

The kid didn't know what he was doing and made himself a real tempting target. These sharpshooters have been taking snapshots at people sprinting from cover to cover and suddenly there's a big human-shaped silhouette poking out of a trench and staying still.

[@DeltaEchoGolf]

Probably thought he was an officer just standing there "leading from behind".

[@fighthighlights2201]

This type of battlefield combat was applied from the 18th century up to WW1, and it was ridiculously inefficient. Just standing there and drop like teeth. The party with the most men would win. Oh and if you happen to not die but only get severely injured you were just left there to rot alive.

[@christerry8462]

@@spencer_fife_and_drum_john9152 it's still sad how many people still believe that slavery was the reason the entire war happened anyone who looks into it would see it was the north monopolizing industry refusing to allow the south to have factories to modernize themselves out of using slaves I mean when did the war start 1861 when was the proclamation announced 63 why wait 2 yrs to make slavery illegal the north was growing tired of war dispite outnumbering and out producing the south they were in a stalemate when the proclamation went out the south had to pull nearly a third of their troops back to secure plantations and their population of slaves

[@LykosShadowmane]

@@christerry8462 Invaded and attacked without warning? The first actions of the war were the South attacking federal installations like armories, and the shelling and capture of Ft. Sumter. The first campaign of the war was an invasion of a whopping 30 miles from DC to Manassas to directly attack the Confederate Army. This revisionist bs about the poor ol' Confederacy being bullied by the North in a war they started, perpetuated, and lost needs to die.

[@gabrielagustinhomas]

Imagine if the Civil War was fought with more trench warfare like World War I.

[@frizzlefry2436]

Trench warfare happened during the Civil War too

[@SStupendous]

It was. At Petersburg the Confederates dug over 153 miles, the Union 37. They used old-style mortars, lobbed what is believed about 90,000 mortar shells alone, and plenty of other artillery. Cold Harbor and Petersburg both saw actual use of several dozen Gatling guns, which apparently did good work. Vicksburg a year earlier saw perhaps even more elaborate trenchworks. Early as the beginning of 1862, Lee was called the "King of Spades" by the press for how often he dug in.

[@gabrielagustinhomas]

@@SStupendous Yes, I know about Gatling Guns and the trenches at Petersburg and Vicksburg. But I’m talking about an alternate Civil War that’s more modern and with more trench warfare. Like, what if the Civil War was fought entirely or mostly with trench warfare? Instead of soldiers marching in rows and firing volleys of musket, soldiers are shooting each other in trenches and charging into no man’s land.

[@SStupendous]

@@gabrielagustinhomas You completely missed what I meant. I even mentioned "early as 1862".... Trench warfare, with extensive and typical use, was used THROUGHOUT the Civil War. Charleston. Shiloh. Franklin. Nashville. Chickamauga. Cold Harbor. Vicksburg. Port Hudson. Chattanooga. Kennesaw Mountain. Fredricksburg, twice. These examples are some of the deadliest and biggest battles across the war, early, mid and late war. Ken Burns and Shelby Foote stated quite accurately that a typical Civil War battle went something like one side attacking openly, the other dug in and decimating them. Huge casualties on both defender and attacker. The Civil War WAS fought with plenty of trench warfare, pretty commonly fought with it to be honest. All you need to do is really look at the details of most battles and you'll see that is true.

[@gabrielagustinhomas]

@@SStupendous No, I’m JUST talking about an alternate history scenario. A scenario where trenches are used ALL throughout the front line, not just around a few cities.

The short answer is there were so many wounded men that they couldn’t take in another. Despite how morally dark it is, the surgeons decided that they should save the officers that they already have instead of work on a ranker, despite his young age.

[@aphroditepapapetrou814]

another question why did they draft such a untrained and young kid to war?

[@Terrex123]

South was becoming desperate. Towards the end of the war they were terribly low on logistics and munitions not to mention willing volunteers. Like every losing side of a war, they needed bodies.

[@blackairforceenergyincarna6682]

It’s a common thing when a side is losing a war. They need bodies so eventually as the war rages it goes from 18 year olds to 16 year olds to 15 year olds to 14 year olds cause desperation sets in. Many losing sides in wars have turned to similar methods
