Outside of the main actors the regular soldiers are civil war reenactors. We supply our own uniforms and equipment. Most men are also descendants of men that were there. We represent the same regiments of our ancestors and know the battle formations well.

2:27 I mean, you gotta remember that our Civil War, even though it was fought pretty recently in history, still occurred less than a century after our country won its independence. Also, yes, the Civil War saw the invention of the ironclads, the first concepts of what would become the modern naval ships. The USS Monitor on the Union side was built from scratch, and was a low-profile iron ship (meaning its deck was just above the waterline) which made hitting it nearly impossible. On the Confederate side, you had the CSS Virginia, which was retrofitted from the USS Merrimack (a steam frigate that already had an engine to support the design) by cutting down to its lower hull and adding iron decking above, basically looking like a floating pill box. Both ships engaged at the Battle of Hampton Roads and... well, it was a stalemate. The Virginia was unable to hit the Monitor save for a strike on her pilothouse, and the Monitor was unable to penetrate the armor of the Virginia.

He was wounded 6 times, had six horses shot out from under him, basically on his death bed, sighted for bravery 4 times and awarded the medal of honor. Check out his history, a couple of his wounds were pretty wild and lucky. He was greatly respected by leaders from both sides and an absolute gentleman to boot.

The tactics were evolving. The official manual for US armies at the time was written based on Napoleonic wars in which the majority of muskets and cannon were smoothbore and generally not that accurate. In the 50 years between Napoleon's time and the Civil War, nearly all muskets and a lot of artillery became rifled and much more accurate, but the tactics weren't changed until savvy commanders began to catch on. Longstreet was getting smart by Gettysburg but tradition and training still favored frontal assaults. Also, for the record, Chamberlain would eventually win the Medal of Honor for his tactics on Little Round Top.

" the majority of muskets and cannon were smoothbore and generally not that accurate." Their pretty damned accurate when you're shooting at targets within their effective range using the proper ball size. "In the 50 years between Napoleon's time and the Civil War, nearly all muskets and a lot of artillery became rifled" Most of the firearms used in the American Civil War, were smoothbore. The Springfield Model 1842 smoothbore was the more commonly seen musket on the battlefield, while the Springfield Model 1861 rifled musket being the latest and greatest in 1861 was reserved for specialist Federal "rifle companies" while the bulk of the Union Army was comprised of State Militias like the 54th Mass. Volunteer Infantry or the 14th Missouri Volunteer Cavalry who's need for such rifles was... superseded by aforementioned rifle companies. Same situation for the Confederates.

@@donl5814 this isn't true at all, though it is an often repeated myth that is propagated by History Channel shows and documentaries. The truth is that the rifled musket, in practice, was no more deadly on the battlefield than the musket. There are many reasons for this. The most pressing is that a weapon is only as accurate as its user. North and South alike could not afford to supply soldiers with much ammunition for live fire drills and the vast majority of live fire drills was done in volleys so individual marksmanship could rarely be practiced. Other factors include the massive amount of smoke produced by these weapons. Your target is firing at you generating their own smoke screen and you are producing smoke in front of your own line. Many journal account describe only seeing dull flashes through smoke as any indicator where the enemy was. The parabolic flight pattern of minie balls makes aiming more difficult, judging range to the target is not easy without practice, and due to the volume of fire as well as the smoke, it would be almost impossible to know whether the shot you just fired hit a target so you would not know how to adjust your fire on follow up shots. The proof of all of this is that there are many anecdotes of regiments exhausting all of their ammunition in fire fights and battles that lasted all day. By modern logic, if the rifled musket were as devastating as claimed, casualties in these battles should have been horrendous with whole regiments destroyed in a matter of minutes. However, it is almost impossible to find any examples of this happening. There are a few, but the circumstances of those few incidents are that the firing occurred at EXTREMELY close range where missing would likely be more difficult than hitting, ie. the cornfield at Antietam, or Iverson's brigade at Gettysburg. The other proof is that if you examine the overall casualty % suffered by both the armies and individual units, the numbers very closely mirror the battles of the Napoleonic wars. In the confused conditions of a real battlefield, what truly makes a difference is not accuracy of fire, but volume of fire. Repeating rifles and machineguns are what made Napoleonic tactics obsolete, not the rifling of the small arms.

@@cycleplays2395 Yadda yadda yadda "the weapon is is only as good as the man" is all you needed to say. Still, you're incorrect. The adaptation of the minne ball over the musket ball made the weapon more accurate, even if the holes created were smaller. You'd be lucky to hit someone with a musket(if you were aiming at him, which also wasn't that common), but if you hit it was like a small cannon. The minne ball was more like a bullet, conical, causing less immediate damage, but it was more accurate. Not to mention, at this time they had repeater rifles and revolvers, much quicker to fire than muskets. Hell, even the founders knew about repeater, proto-semiauto guns available at the time. They were offered the opportunity to invest in such a gun, but they didn't have the cash.

Hardly true. The civil war was never over slavery, but it certainly played a part. In fact, slavery was a dying tradition in the south. Not to mention, most slave owners were Jewish anyway, and not the stereotypical European-American as many believe.

Here's something one must understand about Lee and his position: Lee's strategy was dependant on the understanding that his side could never produce the resources or manpower that the North could. With that context, and the fact that his scouting was cut off, I can understand why he thought that making this a decisive engagement was essential. The Union army could replenish its losses in ways that he could not, so he had to try to not only win, but win in such a way that destroyed the North's will to fight. So Lee tried to force a decisive engagement under circumstances that he forced himself to believe were favorable, in order to justify the losses he had already suffered. In short, he fell victim to the "Sunk Cost Fallacy".

19:28 One important thing to remember is that as mentioned much earlier in the video the Confederate cavalry had been missing for about 2 weeks at this point. The cavalry was a strength of the Confederate army and was very good at using the kind of asymmetrical tactics you're talking about, raiding, hit and run attacks, etc. Without it present they lacked a lot of the mobility needed to employ that kind of strategy most effectively. For the same reason they were also in enemy territory without sufficient scouting which is vital for such precise tactics. In other battles they were able to make much better use of different tactical maneuvers. Obviously, a frontal assault still didn't work and ideally Lee should have found some other avenue to gain an advantage (i.e. the idea of leaving the battlefield and moving on Washington to force his opponent's hand like his subordinate suggested), but it's easier to understand why Lee might have felt like it was their best chance of winning the battle given the circumstances. Lee was also probably overconfident in his men as they'd won battle after battle against the union forces in the last two years, almost always doing so while outnumbered.

His hope was to crush the Union's eastern army at Gettysburg and leave Washington, DC threatened, because if the war went on much longer, the South's defeat was inevitable.

The US civil war was one of the most thoroughly observed wars in the 19th century, and, while I can go on for hours about its global influence, I infer that American use of trench warfare and modern naval strategy influenced the wars of the 21st century more than what you're giving credit.
