Better hurry, first the statues and the flag ,then the forts, rest of our history. The number of Civil War sites that remain tells us how big and intense it was. Someday,maybe these videos are all that will be left. Whatever your feelings about it, i. it happened and more Americans died (mostly from disease) than in any others war America has ever been involved in.

I love museum tours but my all time favorite is historic houses related to the Civil War. That time in history is my addiction. Thank you for going into such detail when you are inside these buildings. And the leg grave...lol

Sherman was the first general in "modern times" to champion the idea of total war. Destroy an enemy's economic base an it can't field it's armies. That's why he was so hated in the South. That sort of thing just wasn't done back then. The chivalric code and all that. It changed the face of warfare to this day.

I am not being critical but this house is in Tunnel Hill GA. It is four miles or so from the Tunnel Hill exit of I -75 south of Ringgold just north of Dalton. The Tunnel of Tunnel Hill was a famous spot on the Western &Atlantic railroad. It is the Tunnel made famous in the Great Locomotive Chase movie starring Fess "Daniel Boone" Parker. This is one of the richest Civil War destinations anywhere. It is truly a cant miss place. I enjoyed this episode as I do😅 all your work and channel.

Greetings sir, what a wonderful video and wow am I ever glad that I stumbled upon your channel! I grew up in Chattanooga for 10 years and now live about an hour east of Atlanta. For the last eight years I have made weekly vlogs of my trips to historical sites just like you do...I make the videos because I love sharing my enthusiasm of history with others and feel that if you just visit the spots where history took place, it really comes alive. But I must admit it's been rather lonely feeling like the only history vlogger on KZread! So you can imagine my extreme enthusiasm when I found your Andersonville videos in my research of the site (I'm hoping to travel there soon)...then I found all of your other videos....been binging several :D :D :D....it's been really cool to see you publish videos from my home turf. I've been to the Southern Museum of Civil War and Locomotive History, been to the Chattanooga National Cemetery, and several other sites you've filmed. Other of your videos are of places I know of but haven't filmed yet. I've visited Tunnel Hill (where you filmed this one) but not yet to film it. Anyways, I just wanted to comment to say: thanks for the great video, and channel. It's absolutely amazing to find a channel just like mine, now I have so many fun new videos to watch! You mentioned Chickamauga several times in this video, and I hope in your trip you managed to stop. It truly is an amazing place. Whether you did or didn't, here is the link to one of my videos of Chickamauga that I think you would enjoy: kzread.info/dash/bejne/aX1-1dGhiaebpqQ.html I'm not posting new videos currently, but am filming a new batch to hopefully get back to regularly posting after Christmas. In the meantime, if you ever want to watch more history vlogs that are not your own, feel free to check out my channel! :) ~Austin/tnphotobug

It’s amazing how anyone ever survived medical procedures, especially amputation, during the American civil war, and other wars when medical knowledge was very limited and simple things like hygiene was more an afterthought than a normal practice, I would imagine most amputees died from infections and sepsis rather than the initial injury or amputation, and having it done without, or with very little, anaesthetic must have been the worst pain imaginable, probably worse than the original wound. I would imagine, as with all major wars, that medical knowledge and practices advanced greatly. RIP to all those who paid the ultimate price in a Civil War that, in my opinion, neither side really wanted or gained anything from it, even the abolition of slavery didn’t make it a justifiable war, to many lost their lives at the hands of their fellow Americans. 😔😡👍🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿, thanks for sharing your journey, very interesting, informative, and entertaining. 👍

Many more places around like the Vann House and The Wright Hotel in Chatsworth and Moraivian Cemetery where my ancestor Chief Charles Renatus Hicks is buried. His son married the half sister to Chief John Ross for whom Rossville,GA is named after where i once lived. Never been to this house in Ringgold.

I think it was sad that, Hood lost a leg and the use of an arm at Gettysburg and was still on active duty. The pain meds he was on, probably could explain the mess he made when he invaded TN

We balanced the bent rail up and all waved at the engineer...the look on his face was PRICELESS! (by the way it's a lot harder to make them than you'd think. Modern steel is tough)

Canada here. The Clisby Austin house in Ringgold, Georgia is a substantial building. I'm glad to see that if an army needed it at least it was used as a hospital by the Confederates. Not so impressed to see Sherman take probably the very best building in the area for his HQ. What I really would like to know is did the Austins have their home returned to them, when, and in what condition? Most reports of the Union army was they took whatever they wanted, and then destroyed everything when they left an area.
