History Of Warfare | Gettysburg 1863

The History of Warfare, Blood and Steel, throughout the ages there have been so many wars and battles, this historic series takes us through some of the major events that changed whole countries, whole continents. Many lives lost through loyalty and a desire to serve ones country. Fought over land, on the sea and in the air, the tales of bravery and heroism are written into our very existence.
The battle of Gettysburg was the turning point of the American Civil War; at the end of three days of ferocious fighting, all hopes of overall victory for the Confederacy had disappeared. But the Union triumph came at a terrible price, for their losses all but matched those of the Confederates. Names such as The Peach Orchard, Little Round Top and Cemetry Ridge wrote themselves large in American folklore... the dreadful bloodshed of the 1st to the 3rd of July 1863 has never been forgotten.

I've been going to Gettysburg since my first high school field trip in 1974. It's a fascinating and haunting experience. I've done walks through every section of the battlefield which extends for miles in and around the town. I've done audio guided tours, field guide tours, and my own tours with battlefield maps and historical pictures in hand. There was so much happening simultaneously in different parts of the battlefield before, during, and after the battle that it's almost impossible for any film, historical study, or tour to do it any justice. Even the movements of the different battalions, regiments, divisions, corps, and armies are subject onto itself. The aftermath of the battle; the retreat (and failed pursuit), the cleanup and burial of the dead, and Lincoln's Gettysburg Address are part and parcel of the battle and its history.

I'd like to go back in time and experience life during this period. Not the war, just life in general.

[@eliech7112]

[@Mr508films]

Lee didn't go into PA in 1862,Jackson died of pneumonia The editing did not match the narration and made it very confusing. Horribly crafted.

Like Trump said about Gettysburg wow😮

[@ronalddesiderio7625]

In my humble opinion. He never shd have invaded another country. He was hired to protect his country the South. Not invade the North

[@BounceBackBelfast]

He couldn't defend the south with the limited resources and manpower he had. A war of attrition was always going to devastate the south. The only option was to carry the war into the north out of his own back yard, and inflict a decisive defeat on the union in their own territory, which would have pushed the already war weary population towards an armistice with the south. It didn't work, but it was the best option he had

[@avenaoat]

The food shortge in the Confederacy was the main problem. Lee wanted to get food in Pennsylvania.
