That overhead shot with the battle line. Perfect

Reenacting done right. Such a drastic difference campaigners make! That aerial view of the volley was magnificent.

Thank you for keeping American identity alive 🇺🇸🇸🇴

That’s the flag of Somalia I believe

The 135th was the best event, period.

I participated in that one. The fight in the Cornfield was probably the greatest moment in my 30+ years of reenacting. My unit portrayed the Texas Brigade for that scenario. I'm pretty sure we all died that morning.

Agreed

THIS. IS. AWESOME!! Really wish I could have been there. Thank you!

That would have been a lot of hard work for all involved. Thank you for keeping history alive.

Many people when thinking about America's bloodiest battels/wars, they immediately say WW2! Or, Vietnam! Little do they know about the American Civil war, and the men who sacrificed their lives for us on the battlefield of Antietam.

Great scene in reenactment. Thanks for sharing 💯👍

recently the re-enacted Rebel Yell at these events is getting closer and closer to how it was in reality, I think - less the blood thirst / fear / hate / desperation of the original - but still impressive, thanks

Simply amazing scenes.

WOW!! The more you see and learn, the more incredible the whole thing seems.

Great video, love the sound of that Rebel Yell!! Rest in Peace to ALL who died during that battle

This is absolutely inspiring, thank you for producing this, it's hands down the best creating ACW content I have seen in ages. PLEASE make more!!!!

I love this. We have to keep the history alive. Quick question, how do they decide who dies in reenactments?

Thanks for everything you do ABT!

My GGgrandfsther fought with the Georgia 17th at Antietam. He was at Gettysburg and fought at Devils Den, Chickamunga

Im so sad I did not get to see this in person on of these days I will go to the reenactment

That's awesome tks

Fantastic video 😊

bloodiest day in our short history

Outstanding little video, love it. An unbelievable story to be told regarding Antietam. Thanks for keeping this alive, as a Maryland resident it’s crazy what went on right in our backyard and so many people have no clue!

I love these reenactments

You are my favorite charity ABT alongside animal charities.

Not a L.R. fan boy. But, well done!

Thank you

Thank you for this clip.

Great video!

Very cool

Outstanding video and very well done! T. Boyte Capt., Battery "A", Norfolk Light Artillery CSA, National Civil War Assn.

The battle that brought and end to the career of the Union commanding general. Which was good for the Union cause. Eventually.

I was in reenacting for 15+ years, this brought chills watching this,thoroughly enjoyed this, it is hard to comprehend in this day and age the thousands of brave men "North and South" that fought and especially for those that paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms of our great country. I am afraid we view our countries history the same as many view a football game, it is easy to set back and critize the quarterback, and coach, on Monday morning after the ballgame

The production level on this channel is incredible. Love it!

Can't wait to go!!

Seriously great video and tremendous feel

That covered wagon at 1:23 never stood a chance. 😢

That’s me dying at 1:47!

Godbless the fallen of Antietam

Looks awesome

Wow! Only wow!

War of Rights is so Realistic since the recent updates

My ancestor fought in this battle and was injured and honorably discharged.

Sharpsburg

I’m in this

Wow.. the Union only had 50 men at Antietam? Who could have figured that . .

WOW!!!

Gos that was satisfying

(Battle Of Sharpsburg/Antietam.) "Battle oh horrid battle. What sights I have seen now see around me. I am Wounded! And am afraid shall be again as shells fly past me every few seconds carrying away limbs from trees and scattering limbs around. Am in severe pain. Furies how the shells fly. I do sincerely hope shall not be wounded again. We drove them first till they got sheltered then we had a bad place. Oh I cannot write." Sgt. Jonathan Stowe, 15th Massachusetts Infantry, 2nd Corps. Diary entry, Sept. 17, 1862, CWTI Collection, USAMHI ***(Stained with his blood)*** He later died of his wound._______ "I had just got myself pretty comfortable when a bomb burst over me and completely deafened me. I felt a blow on my right shoulder and my jacket was covered with white stuff. I felt mechanically whether I still had my arm and thank God it was still whole. At the same time I felt something damp on my face; I wiped it off. It was bloody. **Now I first saw that the man next to me, Kessler, lacked the upper part of his head, and almost all his brains had gone into the face of the man next to him, Merkel, so that he could scarcely see.** Since any moment the same could happen to anyone, no one thought much about it." -Christopher Niederer, 20th New York Infantry Regiment, 6th Corps. Civil War Misc. Collection, USAMHI Lest we forget.

Been there Done that'.

Awrsome

aw man i wish there was a versino without the really loud music over it

👍👍

We call it Sharpsburg.

Was there

Liberty Rifles did a force on force?

why did you have to play music over the sounds of battle

Very well done, this is what we need more of, cinematic quality footage, make history feel visceral. Maybe next time just more footage of the yankees :)

So, umm, where's the Union army?

Looking for all the skinny hungry raggedy guys wearing the gray, in the smoke, but not seeing them. Good thing for Shepherdstown McDonalds and Pizza Hut.

A glorified example of grown men playing soldier, and pretending it's for educational purposes.

​@herecomesaregular8418 playing soldier is buying a bunch of ACUs and parading around (stolen valor). These uniforms went out of date over 160 years ago, along with the guns. Learn to enjoy life a bit more instead of shitting on things you don't comprehend.
