Thank you so much for uploading this one! I was in the Confederate signal corps at this event, flag field communications. My father was clearly seen as well, along with many other friends now long gone. This was a great event in my home state, my Confederate ancestors were at Gettysburg and another at this battle. Sad and unfortunate American history is being removed at what's become the largest cultural genocide campaign in history. God Save the South!

@Wayne Henson Actually for those who study history slavery was ending, not profitable, unsustainable, even efforts by the southern states to have gradual emancipation were ongoing. Northern states stood to profit more from slavery, sale of good and taxes, tariffs by causing ruin to half the nation. The north depended on the south for most of the federal budget, keep that in mind. Please remember the Confederate states paid blacks, freemen and former slaves the same amount as white soldiers and laborers, the first in the world to do so! An overwhelming majority of southern fighting men did not own slaves or profit from slavery in any way! The fought economic oppression, to uphold law and the constitution and ultimately fought for their homes and families. They did not sacrifice themselves to keep slaves. We also honor our black Confederate Veterans as well as our white Confederate Veterans.

@@Frederikas1776 Unfortunately our entire history as a nation is being removed, not just the Confederate history. Adding real history, art, culture and inclusion of new facts is always welcome. However, removing history, art, culture and a nations past to appease a tiny militant corrupt socialist organization is entirely unamerican and dangerous. Censorship and cultural genocide will persist, just as our WW1 and WW2 memorials are being destroyed, and George Washington will not be known to future generations. If we as a nation taught the life and lessons of Robert E Lee to all students this nation would be better off. Lincoln used corruption, millions of immigrants, denied rights and constitutional protections to citizens and waged an illegal war upon it's own citizens, much like Obama, the nation is dying, at its intentional.

It amazes me how many countries study and have an interest in our civil war lol. Met a guy in England that does civil war reenactments of the Pennsylvania Bucktail Brigade.

Finally, I've been waiting for this.

I grew up on Patrick Street in Frederick. Went to school on 2nd street. As a kid, I often played war games wearing a Confederate cap. Drove across Jug Bridge hundreds of time. Lived in Frederick fo 40 years but never knew of the Battle of the Monocacy. For some reason, it was never taught in our history classes. There were mixed feelings in town as late as the '50s. Same when I lived in Shepherdsstown & Martinsburg, WV. All we knew about the war locally (aside from Battles of Sharpsburg & Gettysburg)was Barbara Fritchie's house on West Patrick St where she supposedly said "Shoot if you must this old grey head but spare my countries flag". She was a Union sympathizer. Doubt that actually happened but part of Frederick legend. Confederate spy Belle Boyd's house is still remembered in Martinsburg.

I live about a mile or so from Baker Valley Rd which I use to go to Home Depot or Market Street and go through the battlefield. My son and his family live in Shepherdstown and at one time lived at Pack Horse ford which Lee crossed out of Sharpesburg after the battle but also crossed to march to Gettysburg.His other half grew up in part at Ferry Hill across the river and home of Kyd Douglas. My family lived on the Manassas battlefield when the Yankees attacked the farm in both battles. My church was the childhood parish of Rebel Rose O'Neill Greenhow. It's hard to avoid Civil War sites and history around here.

There was an ass of an officer with the 2nd Ohio for years, some captain.. one morning at 2nd Manassas there was a big ole uproar from the yank camp... Apparently fortune caught up with the fella and somebody had took a nice relaxing you know what in his boots hehe things have a way of working out

Another of my favorite reenactments

This was the golden age of civil war reenacting, please if any of you have the time or can make the time I beseech you to join a unit in your local area we need more people in the hobby.

I did reenactments in the early to mid 80s on a 3" Ordinance Rifle and a couple of infantry battles, so I know a bit about how some of this works, filming etc. This one should have edited out the scenes where a helicopter is visible in the distance, reenactors should have been asked to at least simulate recoil on the rifle muskets when possible and the artillery people should have shown a bit more speed in reloading. Even as amateurs we knew that haste is normal in battle for getting the cannon back up and running ASAP after a shot. I realize it's not possible to replicate the recoil of a cannon on film unless it's loaded with the real thing. For some odd reason they'd never let us do that? LOL Overall, THANKS for uploading this one though! It brought back fond memories for this old man of younger days!

Bring back the Carlos hathcock movie pls it's my favorite how u filmed his story shooting the Vietnamese general

My Great Grand Uncles (3) served in the Georgia Light Artillery; 12th Battalion Company F. were in the Battle of Monocacy. my name sake was killed carrying the company colors into battle, john w. as side note , General Wallis, went on to write the book, Ben Hur; A story of Jesus Christ.

That's a big problem with all of LHFW's films. The reenactments, which don't look very real to begin with, keep going on and on and... But I give them a lot of credit for trying to keep history alive.
