Gettysburg Remembrance Day Civil War Parade

[@j.d.peppmeier9041]

The re-enactors - Union and Confederate - are teachers of our history ! The parade, led by fifers and drummers, illustrates to me the job of my great-great grandfather..a fifer in the Union Army. He marched in the Grand Review in Washington D.C. after the Confederate surrender.

I used to be a Civil War reenactor I was with the 12th NJ Co. C we marched with the Delaware battalion under General Pickett I really enjoyed marching in Gettysburg for the Remembrance day Parade

[@isaahmadi8271]

Wow, I've got goosebumps all over me now. This really is impressive. Greetings from the Netherlands. What a pity that we don't really remember important wars like there back in Gettysburg. Again, not for what they did or what they taught. But the courage, and what they offered therefor.

[@Michael.Blackwood]

What are you talking? There are many similar (sized) annual reenactment events all over Europe, e.g. for the Napoleonic Wars era. You just need to open you reyes for it, it's right around your corner.

[@jeremymiller2757]

After the war ended, a military parade was held in Washington DC. It took 7 days for the entire army to march. 500,000 men. What a sight that would’ve been to observe

[@The15secondsOfame]

Marching with fixed bayonet looks intimidating.

[@staying_spooky]

This isn’t marching. This is uncoordinated walking

[@j.igrant6949]

@@staying_spooky Actually that's one of the things that I find very interesting about the American military. During the Civil War, the army was mostly made out of volunteers and militia who volunteered/drafted to fight for the Union. These were normal civilians with other professions who took up arms to fight for what they believed in. Them marching or "Uncoordinated walking" as you put it reminds me that they are civilian soldiers first and foremost. Nothing beats British pomp and military parades but there's something unique to the way the Americans march, as if they are casually strolling which is less intimidating but shows off as a sort of peaceful/friendly soldiers who are only called upon to restore the Union and defend their country. It's obviously different now since the US military is moving towards a more professional standing army and their mission has somewhat changed... but their humble history still shows through their drills and parades. Or it could be just me overanalyzing and the reenactors just suck at marching

[@ln2559]

Tony Tilson I'm from the area...we have plenty that reenact as confederate soldiers. Relax. I am 100% sure that there were Confederate reenactors in the parade, but this is only a four and a half minute clip and you weren't in attendance. Also, would you not find it a bit odd that born northerners would be reenacting as a Confederate if they have no ties to the south? I get the feeling that you would also complain about a northerner in a CSA uniform and bitch that its a misrepresentation. There are more union reenactors simply because they are locals and live here and Gettysburg is easy for them to get to. If you want to see more Confederate reenactors, I suggest you move here and play your part in reenacting and represent the south...or quit complaining.

[@MrKrumpetz]

Actually...there are other videos that suggest they did show up...

[@komradematt8025]

traitors to a dicktator is an oxymoron. by the way, what were the founding fathers if not traitors, ? maybe for the first time in your life maybe ask why the South seceded... AND BEFORE YOU SAY 'SLAVERY' realize that Lincoln had made it clear that he wouldnt free any slaves if it meant keeping the union together. and that he didnt write up the E.P. until the middle of the second year of the war...so????

anche noi abbiamo visto la parata a gettysburg, credo che fosse il 2017. yutto molto bello storico e patriottico, con un attaccamento allo stato come in italia non l'ho mai visto ne' sentito. passano i civili in abbigliamento del 1860, poi armati unionisti e confederati, poi mezzi militari della seconda guerra mondiale, dopo di che un gruppo di cavalleggeri. poi ancora alcune automobili USA degli anni 1950 e 1963 (chissa cosa ci facevano) con ciuvili a bordo e sicuramente che facevano parte della sfilata. per chi ha amore alla storia e a quella americana in particolare la visita del campo di battaglia di gettysburg e' cosa da non perdere. i luoghi storici della battafglia conservati in modo esemplare, anche se distanti chilometri uno dall altro vannio centellinati. come pure il museo. e il giorno dopo una gita a harper s ferry altra visita fantastica. e a piedi in venti minuti andare a vedere la confluenza del potomac con lo shenondoah. se prima di andare uno volesse leggersi la storia della guerra civile scritta dal compianto raimondo luraghi, americalista celebrayto negli usa, si prepara, cosa cercare e cosa vedere
