American Civil War Museum | Richmond, Virginia | RARE Battlefield Relics and Artifacts!!!

*Correction at 08:57 the American Civil War was not the first war photographed. It was actually the Mexican/American War in 1846. Then the Crimean War in 1854-1856
The American Civil War Museum located in Richmond, Virginia is a state of the art and immersive experience. The museum chronicles this difficult time in our history starting at the beginning of the war. As you progress through the museum you see how the war evolved and the toll it took on our country. I learned so much here. Hope you will as well.

    Coming from the UK I do find the American civil war quite fascinating. You're lucky to still have all those items for display. There's not many items left from the English civil war in the 1640s. There are a few items I'm aware of, but not that many. Good video well done.

There is always something to learn with all of the rich and fascinating history America has to offer, the civil war being just one part of that history. America was smart keeping so much of its history preserved: ie buildings, artefacts etc, for future generations to see and learn from.I like you, love to see the uniforms.

    There is the Texas Civil War museum in Ft Worth. Looks similar to the one in this video but includes more artifacts and uniforms. It also includes a very large section of women's apparel during the Civil War. Most of the military uniforms include a large picture of the soldier who wore it. A few are missing sleeves (arms) where they were hit by cannon fire. The one thing that stood out was how small the clothes for the soldiers and the women were.

    I stopped there myself a few years ago. I remember pulling up in the parking lot and thinking how good could this be? When I got inside we had to sit through a short film. And then let into the museum. Man was I wrong more stuff than you could ever take in for one trip. The one that I thought was memorable was the confederate sharpshooter rifle. For a mere $1,000 dollars in the 1860’s. I even had to go back and see it again a year or two later because I didn’t have a camera to get a picture. Where else are you going to see a used cigar from Grant.?

    The White House of the Confederacy (1201 East Clay Street) was built in 1818 for Dr. John Brockenbrough and was designed by Robert Mills, one of America' greatest architects. The City of Richmond leased the home to the Confederate government for use as the president's mansion. After the war, the house was turned into a public school and later was nearly demolished. It was turned into a museum in 1896, with each Confederate state (plus Maryland and Kentucky) given its own room. Each room had a docent to oversee the state's Civil War relics that were displayed inside glass vitrines. Today the mansion has been restored to the way it looked when Davis lived there. Richmond is a fascinating city!

    Gettysburg is one example of the carnage of this horrible war. Read about Shiloh, Chickamauga, and Franklin also. The soldiers of both sides suffered beyond anything we can comprehend. And if bullets and artillery weren't enough, diseases like dysentery and typhoid could just as easily kill you. Remember, medical care was still primitive at this time. If a surgeon so much as sterilized his instruments before an amputation, it was very much the exception and not the rule.

Not Appomattox, but Appomattox Court House. The Constitution doesn't grant rights, it recognizes them, and prohibits the government from infringing on them.

    The surrender was done by a general who was friends and college buddies with Sherman and Grant who both owned slave while Lee owned no slave. When Grant decided to run for the office of the president he had to basically force Sherman to free his slaves 2 years after the traitorous surrender by Lee. Lee never had his heart in the idea of the tenth amendment. Lee was a federal guy that obviously believed that a federal government should rule supreme. All southern born and raised should ask themselves if having a federal government ruling supreme to the states is a good thing every time April 15th rolls around. The American constitution is just a piece of paper that’s only observed when it benefits the elitist career Politican’s and every single democrat. It’s strange how the political party’s have changed since the civil war. Democrats are today a pro socialist big controlling government party while the republican party that was responsible for the invasion of the CSA are the small federal government that has limited powers giving supreme power to the states. The party of Lincoln switched and the party of Robert E. Lee the democrats switched. Strange, I’d bet if Lincoln could have seen the problems he would cause the union today he would have never invaded a sovereign nation. The only way for the American continent avoid another bloody civil war is to separate and divorce, let the blue liberal dominated socialist states have their own country that’s independent from the RED states and understand The new union of red states will never grant them any aid whatsoever. True Americans are so sick and tired of blue states establishing laws that affect them that they are millions hoping for a leader to rise up and lead a true and armed insurrection.
