It's not like the real thing, of course, but it's underlined by the exact same sentiment: "war is grand, war is cool".

"Standing like a stone wall" could also have a negative meaning. Bee was killed after his quote, but he was upset that his troops were killed, while Jacksons brigade did nothing and just stand there like a stone wall, without doing anything. So it was most likely a blame towards Jackson :)

I haven't even watched it yet but I've already given it a like because because I grew up living within 30 minutes of where this battle took place. Gonna grab some food and watch it now, see if maybe the map has some recognizable features. =P [edit] at 22:50 I believe that house there...is actually the Old Stone house at the intersection of Lee Highway (running East/West) and Sudley road (running North/South). In fact, that creek running by it, is called "Youngs Branch" which I believe comes off of BullRun creek...been years since I've been there last so can't 100% remember. Also, that hill just to the south of the Stone House is where the current day Henry Hill visitor center is located. They have a statue of Stonewall Jackson right outside it, marking the location of where the Confederates "stood like a stone wall". =P One last thing as well...its not shown on the minimap, but the City of Manassas is literally within walking distance of this battlefield. You can probably walk from Henry Hill to Interstate 66 and the city probably within 10 to 15 minutes...thats how close it is... its pretty crazy actually. I'm actually really really surprised at just how accurate this map is. O.O

Cool

The armies wearing the same color uniforms isn't a mistake. in this battle the sides didn't have color distinctions. That caused allot of confusion and friendly fire. It was after this battle when that was changed

during the 1st bull run both armies had brand new regiments and all the regiments made their own uniforms before the armies made a standard uniform

"Our boys will be here by christmas" oops wrong war

All of the blood is Lincoln the warmonger's hands.

Pixie during the very early stages of the war most of the soldiers were from their state militia. state militias had a variety of colours used and everything. so especially at 1st Manassas, a lot of confusion was caused by the mismatched uniforms

I would be so glad if you make more videos about American Civil War Apollo. Thanks for this one by the way !

Hey Apollo, you were actually really wrong when you said that this was the bloodiest war in history at the time, because other wars that happened prior to this one (like the 7 Years War aka the French and Indian War, as well as the 30 Years War and some chinese civil wars and other asian conflicts) were way more bloody, some even with millions of dead, while the US Civil War had "only" about 600k deaths.

Man, I love this channel.So much original content you earned those 316 subs!

Man Apollo, your commentary has really improved, even from the past few months! Keep it up!

These are some of the best videos you will see. History is fun.

Man I love your videos. you're gonna be huge one day on KZread. And no one deserves it more than you man. great job.

Early in the war both sides wore grey and blue. That's why some of the Confederate soldiers were wearing blue. It's was their militia uniform. And the same with the union forces.

My God, the chaos of that fight on the Confederate right flank around the 10 minute mark is awesome; it has it all: brutal volleys, melee, artillery shells, bullets whizzing by

Apollo! I live where this battle took place! Just hiked it a day ago! Very excited to see this battle!

The movie "Gods and Generals" is a really good movie. I really liked it. The movie centers on the life of Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson, from the outbreak of the American Civil War until its halfway point when on a night ride with his staff to plan the next day's battle, Jackson is accidentally shot by his own soldiers in May 1863 while commanding at the Battle of Chancellorsville. This movie is the prequel to the movie Gettysburg. I highly recommend both movies to those who have not seen them yet ;)

The 33rd regiment of Virginia was from the institute, and as well due to the battle being the first of the war, there was a lot of uniforms that looked the same on the battlefield.

Good one Apollo! I'm lovin' it! :D

During this battle, there weren't really uniforms for the Confederacy. Most of the Confederate forces actually wore Union uniforms. This caused a lot of confusion with this battle of course. The Confederacy would wear a White rag on some part of their uniform to signify that they were confederate though, so that helped. I thought You'd like to know, and hope this helped you and some people.

love yuour channel apollo keep up the good work.

In the 1st battle of bull run the confederates had the same uniform as the union since it was so close to the secession. Union artillary actually got confused and failed to fire at advancing confederates at one point. The confederates changed their uniform after the battle so their forces wouldnt get confused down the road.

29:38 Stonewall Jackson, charging in like a missile 😂

hey Apollo I love your videos your the reason I started to play total war and the reason I'm downloading medieval 2 as we speak!!

During the first few battles there was no set uniform. Some southern units kept their blue uniforms. Check out the Zouaves. They had crazy uniforms. I use to do Civil War reenactments and was a part of all the battles filmed in Gods and Generals.

Apollo you took the word out of my mount we need a Victorian total war!

It took the Union Army three days to March from Washington and twelve hours to get back. It was a Officer named Bea who was leading some Mississippi and Louisiana troops that said there is Jackson standing like a Stone Wall. Rally around the Virginia's. Bea was wounded and died I think the day after.

Cool video!!!...MORE TOTAL CIVIL WAR VIDEOS!!!!!!

I think the reason why it seemed like the Union had more men is because a lot of CSA infantry was stuck fighting a couple of Union regiments that got surrounded after the Union left collapsed and when the Union right arrived, the CSA barely have any troops in position to fight them and the CSA commander was just sending men to the Union right piecemeal. Which resulted in each CSA regiment getting overwhelmed one by one as the Union advanced.

11:38 there was famously some confusion in uniforms especially at the beginning of the war. Blue uniforms were common before the war and many Confederate units were outfitted with them. Also, some state militias from the North that would go on to form volunteer regiments wore grey uniforms. Southerners never had an abundance of uniforms and clothing and would often take uniforms from dead Union soldiers.

I'm a Civil War Reenactor. There were a couple reasons behind people watching the battles. 1. If you had loved ones you'd want to see what happened so you could relate news to the family. 2. If you were pro North or South it was like two basketball teams in an exhibition. You wanted to see which army was stronger it was entertaining to watch. Until the battle came to you and you found yourself mixed up in it. That's just how they rolled.

Also one of the reasons the union lost is the confederate uniforms were not standardized when the battle took place, and a regiment of Virginians in blue uniforms simply marched up behind a union brigade and took it prisoner without firing a shot. Uniforms played a large role in bull run.

Awesome..... Just incredible

OMG.. there was SO many cool uniformed regiments that we didn't get to see. Fire Zouaves, 14th Brooklyn, Union Marines, the Highlanders.... I could see them all down there as the camera flew by but we never got any cool close ups. It was painful hahah

The 2nd Wisconsin were issued gray uniforms in 1861. They were state issued clothing. Later, they were issued the famed uniform of the Iron Brigade.

People we’re having picnics and watching the battle because they thought the Confederates would surrender as soon as they saw the Union army.

I absolutely love fifes and drums playing these jolly tunes while soldiers are slaughtering each other. Makes me think how surreal must had it felt to these men fighting in 18-19 century wars.

yes, more of the American Civil War please

Great video as always Apollo! however Napoleonic war had much higher death rate than the civil war. Keep it up!

Great battle! To answer your questions about uniforms: at the outset of the war not all confederate soldiers were decked in grey. Many used to be in blue but when the war broke out their units became confederate units. To distinguish themselves before their grey uniforms came in they would turn their buckles that read "US" upside down. Also, several union units wore grey and it wasn't until after the first few battles that blue uniforms became the standard to help distinguish Union from Confederate. One story from the early days of the war that is interesting was that there was a union unit that was decked in grey moving in a wooded area when they came upon another unit that was wearing grey. They shouted out for the other unit to declare themselves which that unit called back for them to do the same. When the union unit shouted that they were a union unit the other unit (which was actually confederate) immediately opened fire and took out the majority of the union unit causing them to immediately fall back.

Fun fact about the American civil war, Many European countries sent observers to spectate the battles so they could learn what tactics worked and what didnt since it was one of the first wars of its era. But many of them left early on in the war because they couldn't understand the absolutely savagery of which both sides fought, as an example it was common practice when one army fixed bayonets to charge the opposing force would give ground and reform. But in the case of the American civil war it would instead lead to a bloody and savage hand to hand fight. So these refined European observers believed no war like this would ever take place in civilized Europe so they didnt bother to keep any detailed records of what they saw. And then a few decades later WW1 began.

Awesome to see the uniform details The pyjama bottoms from Louisiana were the Louisiana Wildcats, very.tough guys. You can see the longer skirted early war jackets on some too.

North: this war will be over by Christmas south: you underestimate my power

Very awesome!

During the Civil war / war between the states. Uniforms were issued by the state they signed up . Some union troops wore grey until the union standardized uniforms after a few accidents of friendly fire that caused loss on the field. Confederate never really standardized uniforms. It was a mix matches.

Just watch the Civil War Documentary "The Cause" on TV and remembered that I watched the "real" battle at Bull Run here on PA channel 2 months ago. LOL.

The 33rd Virginia (or the special regiment) was a very elite confederate force that were known for causing confusion on the battlefield with union looking uniforms. They are also known to have been Robert e lees guards when he was going to gather new recruit for his army. I know this from my work experience at a civil war museum in Maryland, where they are among the confederate regiments section. Your welcome Apollo

Confederate troops used union uniforms when they had none, that probably explains the confusion, look up AP hills counter attacks at antitam, his troops had yank uniforms from harpers ferry on, causing confusion

One of my units when I was active duty could trace their history to this battle, 5 bn 3rd field artillery nicknamed the first round battalion claiming they fired the first rounds of this battle

Both sides had a mixed collection of uniform in early 1861.

Stonewall Jackson was the back bone of the Confederate Army. He attacked the Union army at Chancellorsville and completely dislodged them from their position. He was fearless.

the 33rd Virginia was the stonewall brigade during the First Battle of Bull run and actually initiated the well timed charge.

About the 33rd VA uniforms, it adds to the realism of the 1st battle of bull run because during the battle there were lots of cases of friendly fire due to the extreme similarities in the uniforms of the Union and the Confederate soldiers. Some Union regiments had gray uniforms and some Confederate regiments had blue uniforms. But as the war went on each side changed their colors to the blue and gray we know today.

The Unit at around 11:51 could have been based off of the early Confederate units as many of them had the same uniform when the lines were drawn between the states. Many of the Cadets in the military schools wore their uniform into battle and they looked just like the Northern units. It slowly faded out though.

Hello from Prince William County, Virginia - Where the battle took place (I live 10 minutes from the battlefield)

Fun fact, The 33rd Virginia Infantry wore their Union garments at The 1st Battle of Bull Run. The 33rd Virginia switched to Confederate outfits after the battle.

The 33rd Virginia was a unit during the battle that was marching on some union cannons. When the soldiers saw the 33rd marching at them they asked there commander if they could fire at them. The commander said to not fire because he had asked for some men to cover that spot. Then the 33rd who he thought was Union fired at the artillery and killed almost all of them.

Pixie, that with the confederate uniform, since this battle was really early in the war, both union and confederate soldiers had similar uniforms, because both sides were practically milita, and it caused a lot of confusion and, you can imagine, a lot of friendly fire

The South had all colours (Mostly grey, homemade brown, and captured blue)types and styles of uniforms! I painted the North and South in 15mm lead figurines . Had great fun with that!

Here is muh history!

this map is amazing wish most maps were like this

The 33rd Virginia was part of the famous Stonewall Brigade The 33rd in the beginning of the war still wore their federal uniforms from their service in the U.S. Army before the war.
