Huge LEGO Battle of Fredericksburg | American Civil War

I’m just stunned. That’s amazing. Such a variation in geography and terrain.

the Confederate army had so much artillery focused on the open ground in front of Mary's heights a Confederate general was quoted as saying "not even a chicken could survive down there." I grew up in Fredericksburg.

[@charlietheanteater3918]

Kevin Oswald That General was Longstreet, or it could have been colonel Alexander

[@gmsteel2563]

It looks like they have the Rappahannock river on the wrong side of the city?

[@Kickem98]

The correct name is Marye's Heights. As for the quote, Porter Alexander said that. At Fredericksburg, he was a Colonel under Longstreet commanding the artillery.

[@Kickem98]

No, they have it right.@@gmsteel2563

[@tyrian_baal]

@@Wi-Fi-El First half, not a good movie though

[@themuskratianempire]

Well, half of this, is pretty much that movie.

[@jonathansmith8672]

There's an interesting event that took place during the Battle of Fredericksburg, which is obviously not shown in the diorama, and I have no idea if it's shown in the movie Gods and Generals (I've never seen the movie): On the freezing night of December 13, 1862 as the battle preceded at Marye's Heights, a young sergeant named Richard Rowland Kirkland, Company G of the 2nd South Carolina Volunteer Regiment, witnessed the abundance of wounded Union soldiers lying on the battlefield, dying. Kirkland couldn't stand seeing this mourning and what he did was unthinkable. He gathered a bunch of canteens, filled them up with water, and then, hoping over the stonewall and onto the battlefield, one by one, Kirkland cradled and gave water to almost every wounded soldier out there on that field. Afterwards, a truce was formed and lasted for a short period of time. Despite his death a year later, Kirkland's actions became a legend in Fredericksburg. He became known as "The Angel of Marye's Heights".

The only thing I'll give the movie credit for is showing the confusion early battles had with units on both sides having different colored uniforms where some confederates would wear blue and some unions wearing gray.

[@scottwright6647]

I stated in my previous post that it was historically accurate, however after watching it the second time I found one minor flaw. I want you to realize that this is not criticism, only a correction to the historical context. The "Iron Brigade- 2nd,6th,7th Wisconsin, 19th Indiana and 24th Michigan " fought as part of the "Left Grand Wing" thus didn't march thru the city of Fredricksburg itself. I appreciate you adding them to your display though, because I've studied this unit many years. I'm a Hoosier, and part of the 19th Indiana was recruited in my area.

[@JoeRoganful]

He says this in the video. If you watch it with sound on, you'll hear him mention that those regiments weren't involved, but he wanted to display them anyway.

[@supremeleadergnkdroid3202]

Civil war was first modern battle. First to have an aquatic crossing/landing during battle. First to have a firefight/skirmish, first trench warfare, first mobil battlefields instead of linr up across each other, mass canon barrages, first metal ships. There’s a reason why they say Europe watched on not knowing they were witnessing their own future

[@ourfatherinthegreen4065]

Gods and Generals was total shit, Gettysburg (although flawed too) and even Glory are far superior

[@williamlloyd5444]

As much as I love this build the movie “Gods and Generals” is Confederate and “The Lost Cause Myth” propaganda. Unlike Gettysburg it isn’t neutral to both sides when it shows stuff like slavery and the politics.

[@Camino-pb7vy]

Or like not showing union war crimes. When people say the lost cause most of the time they are either anti southern or try’s to make the union look like the good guy’s.

[@verdant2215]

​. There were no good guys. Both were equally bad, but both had good men who helped where they could. Many were just average working Joe's thrown into a conflict to fight.
