I saw myself in your video! Confederate Reenactor, marching through at 10:25; with the feather. This is a great video! I'm glad you enjoyed the event!

I attended the re-enactment week on the 137th Anniversary...It was very moving...I made a lot of friends....

Seems like those rebs eat really well during the war starting at about 6:30.

it was bloodiest single day battle with 23000 casualties not of the entire war gettysburg had 58000 in three days.

Aw come on! Show the cavalry in the action!

And the dude with the Hawaiian shirt at the end has to go ffs, lol

That is not the kind of bravery, that is required now. Living in the past is cheaper, but there's no future in it!

I love the civil war

So happy I went to Maryland, My Maryland.

I always considered McClellan an incompetent leader because he had the battle won and yet squandered several opportunities to oust Lee from the North, why didn't General Buford relieve him of command and take command himself? Granted Buford wasn't a Major General as McClellan was but he had the leadership and he also wouldn't have just waited, but I also believe McClellan's orders to Burnside to waste the lives of 10,000 federal troops was ill conceived, clearly McClellan was so worried about being conservative and keeping troops that he essentially could have just handed General Lee an unexpected yet much needed victory for the Confederates at Antietam!

The battle started about 5:15 in the morning not 6:30 or 7 as the guy playing Mclellon states on here.

Are there any reenactment videos that show the reenactment and are not loaded with 1800's music videos?

I see a lot of good men on both side of this war who died during these battles but a new nation was formed from it ashes.

How can I play a part in a battle reinactment? I have ancestors who fought on the side of the Union, and I would love to participate in a reinactiment. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I read in a book the average weight was 143.4 lbs ages and 18-45 were enlisted into the army. I get your point though. I'm 168 lb and 5.9 and 18 years old.. I agree with you to an extent but most guys my age including myself are getting ready to go to college or already in it and can't make all the events but the older guys who already have pretty much went to school and have a good paying job can do it. But the weight problem is kinda ridiculous I can't explain that.. hahaha

Average age of a civil war soldier 25 years, average height 5'7, average weight 137 ... just saying, if you're going to "honor" them at least lets try to keep it looking legit. I'm a reenactor myself, and I feel I look the part. I just get so irritated when I see 350 lb 70 year old men (and women) in the ranks.

@@thecivilwarhistorian You are correct!! After this battle Lincoln issues the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation on September 22, 1862.

May 22, 1863 The War Department issues General Order No. 43, this general order give permission to recruit and organize African Americans into Federal Service ( Army or Navy ) or work as payed labors.

A lot of women throughout history have been known to disguise themselves as men to fight in wars or some other similar event. So it wouldn't be or shouldn't be a surprise that there were women in the ranks. Some would cut their hair, wear tighter clothing to hide their frame and then fill in the gaps with padding to make them look more masculine.

bloody lane .... more like bloody awful ....

Waste of time in my opinion. Very bad for a 150th event. I when Confederate and the leadership was awful too.

Disgusting planning for the scenario. Maryland My Maryland was much better.... Campaigning has its perks....like legitimate scenarios.

Fifes and drums were horrid, the reenactors are way too old and fat for true civil war men and it just isn't that good, but its better then 2012 Gettysburg which was even worse.
