My great great grandfather, August Muelhaupt a Cpl in Co C of the 26th Ws was mortally wounded at Chancellorsville on May 3rd. He was 33 yrs old and left behind a widow and young son.

It wasnt pleasant for Lincoln. He even tried to forego the marriage but was talked into it probably on the basis that he would dishonor Mary if he broke the promise. Lincoln being Lincoln, he eventually decided that he would not dishonor her. Nobody knows why he agreed to marry her, though some believe Mary might have allowed him to.bed her and used that and the possibility of people finding out, to force him into marriage. I doubt that. I think he just wanted a good match and Mary despite her emotional highs and lows was a good match for many reasons. One interesting aside....Robert Todd Lincoln looks nothing like Lincoln but a bit like Stephen Douglas. Strange.

Had Not heard of Major General Daniel Butterfield. Interesting and Fed-Ex connection. Sounds like he was a good organizer. Great presentation! 💯👊👍

Lincoln was an Aquarius and Mary a Sagittarius. Lots of physical attraction, fun conversation and yes the Sag can “clean” the Aqua up a bit but this is a couple that doesn’t grow together. I’ve seen this union dissolve so many times IRL and unfortunately yes many Sag women do abuse Aqua men. A famous Sag woman/Aqua man pairing is Britney Spears & Justin Timberlake. On a side note I used to see pics of Lincoln and I thought he was almost scary looking. I’m no Halle Berry but yall catch my drift. Now that I’m learning more about the man he has a lot of attractive qualities. I had no idea how funny he was that takes a man far, generous to a fault and also athletic while cerebral. His aloof nature would’ve irritated me but I could see why MTL would act a fool over him he had a very raw & primal energy I read he loved prostitutes because his s3x drive was so high

great show

She should have listened to her father

Was Marry attractive?,I don’t believe there were other men who wanted Merry,

Why did Marry Merry Lincoln?

It seems very clear to me that President Lincoln was repeatedly a victim of domestic violence. In the past, men would not be recognized as victims at the hand of a woman and would be subject to mockery, which is probably why many historians do not recognize him as such.

Very interesting. I have a relative in the 1st Wisconsin over on the left flank in the tactical map. They captured a flag from a TN regiment. It's in a museum in Madison. That regiment captured two of the 1st's field pieces. Their new flag (27th TN I think) had the two captured cannons sewed on it. Crazy battle.

I applaud anyone who has caught the spirit found in our great American story regardless of their level of scholarship. In terms of academic insight I’d give this a 4 on a scale of 1 to 10.

This battle could have turned to the type of Gettysburg. If Braggs had hold for the next day at Perryville he would have got a lot of newer Federal regiments as Lee got on the 2d of July 1863! Bragg decided well but not for the Union!

When you read first hand accounts of how Grant operated, it makes the French performances in the Franco-Prussian War, WWI and WWII look even worse than depicted by most historians. 1. Grant made extensive use of telegraphs and made sure he was always able to communicate with the units under his command. 2. He always learned the terrain where the fighting was taking place, studying maps, but more important by going out and seeing it in person. 3. He would listen to all of his subordinates’ accounts of what was going on. 4. Lastly, perhaps most important, he would then ACT. He kept his head, and issued orders, usually by telegraph, so all his units knew what to do. 5. If things didn’t go as planned, he was flexible and would quickly make adjustments. Reading history, after Napoleon lost at Waterloo, the French military performed abominably for the next 150 years. One thing that really stands out is they never seemed to get a grip on the result of the fog of war and how to deal with it. Grant already knew in the 1860’s: communication. Something the French failed at in three straight wars.

Great lecture!

Anyone know the address or telephone number of the Perryville Museum?

My great grandfather was one of the warriors who joined. We are from the Bay Mills band of Anishinaabe in Brimley Mi

He mentions his disdain for the removal of certain statues as being "wrong" (personally, I think a lecturer should try to remain neutral and allow for listeners to arrive at their own opinion, but whatever) but if the continuum of ideas evolve over time, so to may attitudes of who future generations choose to commemorate among other things. Clearly change is a difficult pill to swollen for some. He should also ask for questions rather than applause before getting underway.

I can't get enough of Lincoln.

Deo Vindice

Conderate States were invaded by Federals first.

Excellent lecture Sir. I learned so much.

Just proves to me that PSTD has been around all war Veterans. And now just coming to forefront after War in Iraq. And 9-11 I know for sure my Dad had it as a returning Korean Veteran.

Lincoln also said,"As does Kentucky. So goes the nation."

Even Confederate Generals said."Bragg has the uncanny ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory."

This is why Thomas Jefferson burned all personal correspondence because his private life was just that his private life. If those letters had survived the "historians" and "scholars" and "writers" would be picking over the bones of his marriage and private life.

Thank you so much for your authentic and humorous videos. I’m about to start my first medically supervised Anavar cycle 😀. I’m in menopause so I am relating to your videos about hormones etc. keep going I hope your channel explodes 🥰

Sada Thompson was excellent as Mary Lincoln and was quite "real" in her portrayal of her. Sandburgs Lincoln for the time period was an outstanding series.

Lincoln and Mary Todd were both remarkable in their own right

Hernon disliked Mary Todd but that is ok,she was far more educated than he was and came from a better family most likey, Herndon was insanely jealous of Mary Lincoln. Mary ran a tight ship and wanted her children to be happy and successful. She was not perfect. However, Mary Todd respectfully was the best person for that marriage to President Abe Lincoln.

Abe Lincoln did not get easily elevated, unfortunately. Sadly for Mary Lincoln, she did.

Mary Todd Lincoln and President Abraham Lincoln were both fascinating abd politically saavy, Abe Lincoln enjoyed his children, good books and intellectuals to discuss politics of that era.

Great presentation 👏

President Abe Lincoln was loving and devoted to Mary Todd Lincoln. Mary was alone for 6 months of the year for petes sakes she had to take care of a large home and small children,it was hard but she did what she had to do with firece courage.

He hasn't spoken there since 2009? He'll never be back.

Very good presentation thank you

Mary Todd Lincoln was the reason Lincoln made it to the Presidency she was the driving force. Sandburgs Lincoln is a great series. The book Team of Rivals--doris kearns goodwin

Herndon never liked mary todd lincoln from the start

Mary todd lincoln was a devoted mother and loyal wife to abe lincoln

Its posdible Mary Todd may have suffered bi polar disorders

Read the book "Team of Rivals"

I dont know that mary was caustic as she was very people smart-- she knew who was honest and who wasnt

Mary todd lincoln was formally educated and spoke french as well as english well versed in politics she was quite intelligent and very saavy.

Abraham Lincoln was a remarkable human being and 16th president of the United States 🇺🇸

@bryonchalisbois--if its true--what is your point? That man gay or straight was one of the greatest presidents who ever held the highest office without any formal education as a matter of fact he was self educated up until he was practicing law and then on to his presidency

The Lincoln marriage was complete hell. She was a cruel narcissist. Verbally and physically abusive. Mentally ill. President Lincoln did all of the giving and had abandonment issues. She did all of the taking. The family members 'protect' the family member who has the potential to publicly humiliate the important/famous spouse. Secrets.

Mary is an enigma. If anyone loved and understood her, it was her husband. He had great strength of character which allowed him to stay with her come what May. My comment about her. She was a cheat! I think she was like that as a means of accumulating things that made her feel better about herself. This I can understand!

Ok this clown lost me as soon as he defended statues of traitors who went to war against the US to keep their slave based economy and way of life afloat. An economy based on the principle that whites were superior and deserved to enslave the inferior blacks. I'm sorry dude. That shit was garbage in the 1860s as it is now. They don't deserve to be immortalized despite what you say.
