    It's beautiful around Manassas. I'm English but have been to most of the Virginia battlefields as well as Gettysburg and Sharpsburg. Manassas is especially interesting as you can see the landscape for both the 1861 and 1862 battles. I was knocked out by Virginia and the landscape around Sharpsburg in Maryland too. Saw the confederate cemetery in Lexington, Stonewall's house and the shack he died in at Chancellorsville. Always been interested in American history since I took it in High School. Did it in one trip but I'd love to go again some day.

    If you think that's beautiful (which it is, no doubt) then you should see the transition between the great plains and the rocky mountains. From rolling, seemingly endless grasslands to sharp, steep rocky cliffs. Winding your way around and up the mountain chain is incredible and has sights that are nearly unrivaled. Also, check out the northwest. The super green, dense and wet valleys and ridges are easy to get lost in. Incredibly tall and voluminous waterfalls that fall into rushing rivers, closed in by huge pines standing by like giant everlasting sentinels.

I knew about Napoleon, WW I, and II, but I quickly learned about the Civil War. Very interesting area to suddenly become my home at the age of 12. We moved from the Brighton area, which I still miss.

    My daughter and I visited Manassas battle field. I stood on Henry Hill (it is high ground). Looking north there is an opening between trees. The Park Ranger guide told us 15,000 Union Soldiers came down that “draw” and were wiped out. They also said that the Inion Generals still insisted on using Napoleonic tactics where many Confederate leaders were more forward thinking in tactics. There was much confusion due to both flags looking very similar and uniforms were not entirely standardized. People rode out from D.C. with picnic lunches to watch the Union put down the rebellion later fleeing for their lives. The North had not taken the battle as serious war. The South was fighting for their homeland regardless of the reasons. Also The South named battles after towns they were near and the North after bodies of water. I encourage anyone interested in the War of Northern Aggression to visit Manassas where it really began.

    I used to love the Civil war but not so much now. After you have read a lot and seen countless battle videos, i came to conclusion, that the confederacy after 1861, didn`t have a clue strategly what they wanted to do. Plus, even with an enemy to its front, personal infighting lost them many battles.

    The Park Ranger was a bit over-enthusiastic about the number of Union soldiers killed at First Manassas . The number of KIA was less than 1000 on both sides with well over a thousand or so wounded, missing or captured on each side. Wishful thinking???? Considering the huge losses suffered on both sides later in the Civil War, it was unique only because it was the first major engagement of the conflict. The worst was yet to come. .It was a long war. The military tradition, still in effect was/is that the victor normally gets to "name" the battle. Hence, Gettysburg, Vicksburg,, Antietam, Chancellorsville, etc. It could be named after a town , a river- or not.(eg. the Wilderness)., "Napoleonic tactics" in a set piece battle had been employed years prior to Bonaparte but he perfected them because he was a military genius. The standard line them up and shoot at the enemy standing up tactics were in effect well up until the 20th century when the generals and military strategists finally realized how stupid this was with modern weapons. Then it was OK to run ,duck and cover if you had to do so- under orders.

    Every time Bull Run is narrated the narrator emphasized how "green" the Union troops implying that the Confederate soldiers were seasoned veterans. LOL. The fact is the Confederates held on against 10-1 odds for several hours until reinforcements arrived dropping the odds to "just" 5-1 and continued to hold their ground until the odds got to the best of the day...about 3-1.

Unfortunately none of my friends or family is interested in the subject so I will likely be going alone. If anyone needs a battlefield touring buddy this year feel free to reach out! Disclaimer…I am a fan of the south. I like to enjoy the history and heritage of the south. If you have a trip planned this year and would like a friend to walk the BF with then please reach out. Especially Gettysburg! I’m 38 and in Kentucky. I can go most anytime as long as weather is warm 😎 I’m only a hour from Franklin, Tn and 4 hours from Shiloh. I’ve never been to those either. I may go to Franklin pretty soon if anyone wants to go. Prob go see confederate museum afterward which is about 20 mins away from Franklin.

    It's called the first "modern war". Many tactics employed during WWII in armor divisions came from maneuvers developed by cavalry commanders during the War Between the States. It ushered the end of Napoleonic warfare line formation fighting to the development of WWI style trench warfare in the east and insurgency style lightning irregular warfare in the western theater. Also, the first ever semi-successful submarine warfare was employed by the Confederacy. More Americans died in the American Civil War than in the Revolution, War of 1812, Indian Wars, Spanish-American War, WWI, WWII, and Vietnam War - combined. When it comes to civil wars (outside of the highly unstable African continent), only the Russian Civil War was more deadly.

    Love it, well done for sure, but at the 8:03 mark you make a glaring error. You attribute a quote to Gen Scott, saying to McDowell that you are green but they are green also. The statement is longer and obviously much more poignant than my little piece of it above, but my point is that the quote was not Gen Scott's but instead was Lincoln's. Both Scott and McDowell had both urged more preparation before taking military action, explaining to Lincoln that the troops were green. His response of how they would all be "green alike" was beautiful. Seeing as how your history and info in this piece is all spot on, except for the one thing, I am sure this was an editing type error. But one that needed to be pointed out.

    A couple of reasons spring to mind. Firstly soldiers keeping diaries whilst on active duty is very much verboten and the practice has been much clamped down in the past 150 years. Secondly real time newspaper reporting of wartime events was extremely rare until the 20th century. William Howard Russell of The London Times going the Russia with the British army in the 1850s was groundbreaking, but similar first hand journalist accounts of anything of that era just don't exist.

    I was 16 that day, my 6th year there.. finally able to carry a musket on the field or rather (legally) not get harassed by "soup Nazi style" attendants or Ahole random unit CO's .. was absolutely great, fortunately got to be at the 150th too, missed 160 and sadly fear there won't be a 170.. We had a blast those few days and the second night in camp was my first time getting shot with a musket loaded with a very light charge ofcourse but filled with popcorn kernels... A unit camped next to us A VA outfit can't remember which taught me how I could get revenge with a navy revolver and a lil rock salt.. haha what a blast back then, I miss the fellowship,fun and learning of the good days of reenacting.. EDITS. Had to fix auto spells "add a word u didn't type"

    I just don't understand for the life of me why the warfare was like the way it was in that time period. Every battle they seem to just Line up and march strait into each other's kill zones. You have to have balls of steel to look down field at your death but continue to steady march into oncoming cannon and musket fire. I mean my god could you imagine. I would have thought it made more since to fight more of a gorilla war. Set up more ambushes. Utilize the cannons and pound them like modern artillery. These men who fought this war most of them were Illiterate but there were some intelligent men amongst them and you think they would have had come to this conclusion. Intresting.

    I believe most of the officers were trained under Napoleonic tactics when studying at West Point. At that point most muskets were pretty inaccurate and the most effective way of fighting a massed enemy was to line your boys up and fire volleys - mostly for psychological effect rather than inflicting actual casualties until you were close enough that you couldn't miss. When the US Civil War started a lot of new weaponry was being introduced. For example, the Minie Ball cartridge was a new piece of technology that made rifles incredibly more accurate and deadly, and this dramatically changed how far troops could reach each other with good effect. Suddenly you didn't need to rely on a wall of bullets to get the killing done - each of your boys could hit their marks at 400m or more. Think about how throughout history soldiers line up and fire shit at each other. Stones, arrows, musket balls - old habits die hard I guess. We can look back on 'em all and wonder how they could do it, but at the time that was just the way ground wars were fought. Fire and maneuver. Fire and maneuver. Get your cav behind them to harass and disrupt. Though you're right dude, those guys had great big balls of steel to face all that lead and keep on fighting. Can't even imagine how terrifying that would be.

Sadly though, the history of the Confederacy, and the Civil War, is slowly being erased in the once Capital of the Confederacy, Richmond Virginia! Current trends in socialism, liberalism and erasure of history is reducing this once great historical “City of Monuments” to nothing of note or interest. What is next, building apartment complexes on the battlefields of Gettysburg?

    I was born in the UK but consider myself manassas man it was my home. I don't like slavery it was horrible but how do you separate yourself from the south? You become a pariah, Lee considered all of these facts. What am I? A good question, someone who loves the United States, a citizen loyal to the constitution. I planned the bin Laden raid, Virginia made me understand what really ordinary Americans stand for - Ukraine is a good example.- unfortunately freedom really doesn't come free. Ordinary Russians understand what is right, misplaced loyalty is holding them in limbo.... Effectively what Putin is doing, is saying to all, and in particular for me our American children too - do as I say or else..... Time we told Russias people we will not tolerate it anymore. Make no mistake the f threat is to the USA not just Ukraine. You see this right now is escalating and the quicker that is stopped the better. Yes zelenskyy is manipulating, but our current government is accepting of that, are strategic planning made mistakes. The going in to Afghanistan, more particularly the way we left sent improper signals to Putin that we were becoming complacent. The green door immediately opened sesame. 3 years before the War began it was divertable, but again we lost in picking up the correct facts..... Only hope that it was not intentional. Now Zelenskyy and Putin against a mesh, almost sounds right too, they need genius to intercede to help clear it. US money is not in place forever, nor support from the Kremlin.......But add to that neither one will throw in the towel. But zelensky needs to retain his people's country and Putin needs to score enough points to save face. It can be done with the right person at the helm, question is, is Joe Biden or Donald Trump the right person. Are they an Abraham Lincoln wise to barter politics.... To get someone to break away from sporting - supporting a manassas, i.e. Russia. It will take a negotiator of genius who realises the ordinary people of Russia need to see clear cut incentives for all. Then you'll see the pedestal that Putin has built himself crumble.

    A true 'civil war' was the American Revolution, a rising against ones own government. The common reference Civil War as used in many history books was actually an Invasion of another Sovereign Country, that being the FORMER states which established NEW Government, the Confederate States of America (CSA). The 'Union' was a war against the southern CSA was one of financial gain. This is evident by Lincoln's ability to Free ONLY* the CSA slaves, none of the Northern states slaves were freed until much later by an amendment to the Constitution. When the southern freed slaves entered the New England States looking for work, Race Riots ensued. [*As a sop to southern states Lincoln offered a compromise of allowing slavery to continue until 1900, which the southern states refused.]

    Slave owning Southern Democrats and Northern Democrats who did not support the war because they profited from slavery, were the conservatives of the time. What they wanted to "conserve" was their antebellum way of life. Republicans at that time were progressively anti-slavery. Its abolitionist stance was the party platform. I suppose that made them liberal. Northern Democrats who supported the war, known as "War Democrats", wanted the Union to defeat the Confederacy to keep the Union intact. They believed the South had the Constitutional Right to own slaves.

    Abolition, which was one of the founding tenants of the GOP, was considered to be an extremely liberal, and radical, idea. As was universal male suffrage, which the GOP also supported. Most, though not all Republicans also favored a single gold standard monetary policy rather than the bi-metallic standard that we were then on. Yeah, they were very progressive when compared to the Democratic Party at that time.

    Read this and you'll find out! The Confederate States of America (1861-1865) started with an agrarian-based economy that relied heavily on slave-worked plantations for the production of cotton for export to Europe. *IF CLASSED AS AN INDEPENDENT COUNTRY,* the area of the Confederate States would have ranked as the *FOURTH-RICHEST COUNTRY OF THE WORLD IN 1860."* (Wikipedia: Economy of the Confederate States of America). Sherman wired Lincoln with the message, “I beg to present you, as a Christmas gift, the city of Savannah, with 150 heavy guns and plenty of ammunition, and also about 25,000 *BALES OF COTTON.”* Cotton was the "white gold" that supplied 70% of the Union Treasury REVENUE! Secession meant AN INSTANT FINANCIAL HIT! Lincoln's Presidential Proclamation NO. 81, April 19, 1861, five days after Ft Sumter. "Whereas an insurrection against the Government of the United States has broken out in the States of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas, and the laws of the United States *FOR THE COLLECTION OF THE REVENUE (TAX MONEY)* can not be effectually executed therein conformably to that provision of the Constitution which requires *DUTIES (REVENUE TAX MONEY)* to be uniform throughout the United States; and...." This is ONE of the SIX documents where Lincoln mentions REVENUE TAX MONEY from the South!
