    Benjamin Franklin was reincarnated as Abraham Lincoln who returned as Albert Einstein. George Washington was reincarnated as Robert E. Lee who returned as Dwight D. Eisenhower. - Seal #7. See 7seals.blogspot.com - only the Returned Christ & Albert Einstein reincarnated could produce that. It's triggered The Apocalypse/Revelation which is NOT the 'end of the world'.

I would LOVE to take a few of you Brits to GOON CITY, where the local zulus would like to give you a taste of Rourke's Drift. Goon City can be found in every major American metrop[olitan area. This, I promise you. No shortage of thugs and goons.

    I’d like to add that the sound and music is incredibly done . sets the ambience in a way that compliments the excellent narrative that can’t be matched. I think a lot of the fascination with these battles is that we all wonder what seeing and hearing a 19th century battle was really like. We will never totally know but I feel like this gives a gets us a little closer

    The best General was U S Grant and that was down to an extreme level of force of will. He never gave up no matter the obstacle. I love Sherman’s quote about his ability to not worry about what the enemy was doing. You can’t control that, you can only control what you do and how you respond. Every modern General knows this, information is vital but in the end you can’t control the enemy, you can only prepare yourself to fight and defend as needed….

Long Sol certainly was a controversial Man throughout his service with the Union army. Even though John Gibbon didn't care one bit about Solomon Meredith. He still nonetheless did his Duty.

    Great lecture. So sad, Fredericksburg is a lovely town.With regrd to Meagher. When the 38th (Welsh) Division attacked Mametz Wood during the Battle of the Somme, Col Carden addressed his battalion of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers, "Boys make your peace with God. We are going to take that position and some of us won't be coming back, but we will take it!" He then held up his walking stick with a handerchief on it and said, "This will show you where I am!" He was hit twice during the advance and was killed as his men broke into the wood which was taken after sonme very fierce fighting. A rather different story.

It was brilliantly written to give mercy to Burnside while changing regime. He avoided the reward of bad behavior, setup a lesson of humility, and got exactly what Lincoln wanted. Additionally, not a word was wasted as to save ink naturally.😏

    The more I read about it, the more delusional I think Hooker was….To give him his dues, he did raise morale in the army, paid them and somewhat improved the food. He also helped start the Military Information Service that was extremely successful and possibly the best thing he did. He invented Core badges, and made the army more efficient. That’s the job he should have had - ‘Chief Organiser’ - and not that of Leader. He wanted glory for himself and that’s never a good sign in a leader. He was two faced towards his Generals and had a clique of ‘Hooker dependables’ who’s support he could count on and with whom he could party with, ensuring that those uninvited knew about it and took it as a personal insult against them. Chancellorsville was a disaster. Meade was already thoroughly annoyed by Vicksburg and Ambrose Burnside. His chance to flank Jackson and alleviate the killing at Marye’s Heights, thwarted by a paralysed and incompetent commander and now he had Hooker put him in the same position ! The fact that he ended up leading the Army of the Potomac to success at Gettysburg probably set his mind at ease, despite the loss of so many men, casualties and dead… He was the best man for the job in the end, a man who didn’t actually want the job. He wanted success without glory and desperately needing recognition, unlike Hooker. He may well have had a poor temper but he kept his head when those around him failed, and that’s what you need in leadership. He made sure that all of his Generals knew what they were supposed to be doing and had an actual plan, holding war counsels so others could raise opinions and the best course of action taken. He hadn’t bargained for ‘General Dan’ not understanding what he was doing or where he was supposed to be, and after the 3rd failed attempt at an appropriate answer he should’ve gone and checked for himself that ‘General Dan’ wasn’t making himself at home in the Peach Orchard instead of on Little Round Top !!! Even if it did unintentionally prevent Longstreet from attacking there and having to turn around and go back…. General Dan still wasn’t organised enough and haemorrhaged men and resources until his leg was blown off and he was taken out of the action.

    Yes, Hooker wasn’t all that bad a field officer at the division level; like Monty in WWII he just had some rotten personality traits. As you said, he was a good organizer. Hooker introduced the system of corps badges to the Union army to curb the problem of stragglers. Every soldier was to wear one. Each corps had its own insignia, which was usually made of cloth and colored red for 1st Division, white for 2nd Division, and sky blue for 3rd Division. It was usually worn on the soldier’s hat or cap. The system enabled an officer to look at a soldier and instantly know what division and corps he belonged to.

But I will leave that task of complying with your wishes to an Atlanta podcast, or, better yet, you go make one that does that. Meanwhile, I’d like to hear (read) your condemnation of slavery, but I won’t hold my breath as, no doubt, my mentioning of the ANV rounding up African-Americans and bringing over 10k slaves with them is what prompted this comment.

    @89volvowithlazers To some degree, that was to be expected; the Peninsula Campaign was General Lee’s first in command of a new army with mostly untried commanders at the corps, division, and brigade levels. After it was over, Lee did some reorganizing and made the leadership changes that combat had shown to be necessary.

    The start is not quite right, the battle can actually trace its roots to Jackson’s Valley Campaign when Stonewall wrote to the government in Richmond that if his force could be brought up to 40,000 (from 17,000), he could campaign as far as the Susquehanna instead of stopping at the Potomac.

    Well, ok then. I admit I have not watched or listened to your other episodes. I must say that the quality is very good. And you are right. I am a truth seeker , and I admit I do have a side. I do care about who won, who lost and the incredible death toll. It does matter. Again, I detest the thought of being a proponent of slavery. And yes you are right that there was a certain number of the population that were ok with keeping it as well as the expansion thereof. This was because of an economy built upon it. As wrong as it was… it was part of the American fabric that had been in place longer than anyone alive at that time. Historians will argue to doomsday about the causes and the would’ve could’ve should’ve s. It was a horrible tragedy. There were good and bad on both sides. But though they are rarely brought to light, there were far more on the federal side. Slavery would have eventually ended. It had to. What a shame nearly a million Americans had to perish. I will never believe the narrative taught in schools to brainwash our children to believe that that so many people died only to free slaves. Even in our local schools liberal teachers say that our ancestors were traitors! I had as many as 10 ancestors who fought and none owned slaves. They were poor farmers. I also despise the assumption that they were mislead or didn’t have enough sense to understand what was going on. At that time Patriotism was to the state in which a person was from. I recommend Shelby Footes description of the American citizen’s identity at the time of the war. Duty was to his state and his family. The Southern soldier answered the call to defend his home state. Period. The Northern soldier believed he was saving his country. Even though e was saving it by killing it. Nobody was killed at Sumpter. (Yes one accidental death the day after)…. It all could have been avoided. And Lincoln was not a good man based on what I have read. He certainly didn’t believe in the equality of blacks with whites. He wanted them removed from the country. Yet he has a great monument in Washington. I apologize if I misspoke or lead you to believe something contrary to my intention. As long as you seek the truth… that’s great. But no one not even you can be totally unbiased. You proved that as did I. I am just so tired of division. This country is the most divided I have ever seen in my life. And yes I hope you have a nice Sunday. I should be in church this morning. But I have been sick and find myself here playing on KZread. I love history. But it’s important to have it right so we don’t make the same mistakes. May God bless you and have a great rest of the day. TA

    I’m not so sure about that; Jackson’s Valley Campaign was nothing short of brilliant. It’s still studied at military academies today. The Peninsula Campaign left his image tarnished somewhat, but his later performances at Groveton, 2nd Manassas, Sharpsburg, Fredericksburg, and Chancellorsville were solid.

    To the narrator: In the phrase "Les Misérables," the word "miserables" is NOT pronounced as "miserab." The "--les" at the end of the word is NOT SILENT! American ears which are uneducated in correct French pronunciation for some reason can't seem to hear the "--les" part. I imagine that you also pronounce the word "macabre" as "macab." Again WRONG! Maybe you need to take a good course in French pronunciation so that you don't appear quite so uneducated in future video narrations that you do.
