Very well done! I got to visit in July 2024, and highly recommend both the American Civil War museum and Appomattox village to every Civil War buff. A must visit for your bucket list!
Excellent work Chris. I like the narrative format with the background music. And with the Civil War as my favorite subject this was a home-run. Thanks!!
G’day and greetings from Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺 very well put together narration was clear and you were very easy to listen to you, it was very interesting and it is a fabulous little museum . Thank you regards John
THANKYOU so much for this video. The rarity of the items there just blew me away.
My great great great grandfather surrendered at Appomattox. He was a calvary officer under Jeb Stuart. He took command of a Virginia Calvary regiment some time before Appomattox. We were able to locate He Confederate Pension and he went into great detail of what occurred during the battle and ultimate surrender. His regiment refused to surrender their colors and gave it to an unknown woman to hide. Whatever happened to them is lost to history now. But his brother was a brigadier general in the union army so I'm sure it made for a great holiday get together environment lol.
I give it a good chance they handled it with good character and some respect
Mine did too.
15th Ga. Served for duration
Wounded at malvern hill.
22nd Ga. Died of typhoid fever in 1862.
38th Ga. Served for duration (named his Jubal Early).
I don’t have any folklore about not surrendering and all that. Just that they served and surrendered.
Every southern that had ancestors fighting for the south, they were officer.
@ naw, mine were all privates for the duration except one in the western theatre that was a captain. Unsure how someone could serve for 4 years and remain a private especially with the attrition rate was so high.
@AnthonyLagunas-yv6br I only know of one ancestor that was an officer. He joined a militia calvary unit in 1861. It was later absorbed into the regiment. He was a 1st Lt commanding a company in the 10th Va Calvary. He took command of the regiment sometime around Sailors Creek and Appomattox. By this time there were only 3 officers and 19 enlisted according records. Attrition was very high with killed and desertions. His brother was a Brigadier General of Militia for the Union when Lincoln created West Virginia. All of this was pulled from state confederate pension records so we at least have proof. But records of service especially in the south can be tough to find. Record keeping wasn't a high priority. My other ancestor was enlisted and fought in a GA Res regiment and surrendered in 1865 in NC at Bentonville.
Very nicely done! Thanks Chris!
Thoroughly enjoyed your tour of the museum ❤
Love the Confederacy!i wear my grey kepi with pride!-Canadian sympathizer🇨🇦
I wear mine hunting in the winter. Too hot for summer wear.
I live about 10 mins from there grew up walking all the trails and going to visit the town hell I still go there often
There's a book called "Rifles for Watie" that details his contribution to the Civil War through Oklahoma. Been decades since I've read it though.
Very interesting. I am so interested in the Civil War.
Very nice
They wisely moved much of the Museum of the Confederacy out of Richmond to Appomattox along with the amazing and extensive flag collection, many of which were captured and later returned.
I have been there a couple of times. Politics aside I can only imagine how both sides felt. The nightmare is finely ending. Look how long the war was whining down at Petersburg.
Great place man. I went there before the channel. Now watching this I wanna go back!!
Now thats a good museum. Sure is a lot to see
They have an incredible collection.
A very good video. Thank you😊
Good Evening! Bravo Zulu on you close up of the brick walkway! Did you know…I’m the “Flower” Sherman did not trample upon … on his march to the sea? Can you imagine…my beloved mama sent me to Biloxi, Mississippi in 1974! Oh what a grand time!
How do you like the LGBT Mississippi flag now?
I do believe, sir…You love the South! Amen!
I really enjoyed this one, Chris. I would love to know what you used for music. It was lovely.
I got the songs off Epidemic Sound. Sorry don't remember the artists name. But great source for all kinds of music.
My house in uk was 1647 !! lol now thats history
Thanks for sharing this! 4:12 Pronunciation tip: “Sumter” sounds just like it’s spelled - not “sumner”, “sumptner”, or “sumpter”. There are no “N”s or “P”s in Sumter 😊. But you’re not alone, it’s commonly mispronounced.
Did we win?
Names are pronounced diff: than spelt. Perhaps ole clee burn pronounced his name diff : from whence he came from. I appreciate the showing of such all that was . 😊❤
Was wondering if you done any videos about John Singleton Mosby. My grandmother told me we're related to him.
Thank you President Abraham Lincoln,Frederick Douglass and all who fought to end African American slavery and save the USA.
Can you please tell me what the background music was during this video? I loved it!
What a wonderfully put together museum, How I wish I were closer if I were , I'd be there first thing #Aztec73
Love your videos! Used to live in Fredericksburg and still enjoy going on roadtrips in VA. However I must ask what you meant by saying "we" were kicking the Union's butts for a while. Do you identify with the Confederates? I've never seen any sign of bias in your videos but that comment sort of surprised me.
Went there in 2017.
Yeah, my dad unfortunately knew all about the laxative qualities of eating too many black walnuts!!😂
Yikes! lol
Why are they flying the LGBT Mississippi flag outside?
Nice museum. Watched the 2016 movie "Free State of Jones" last night, a movie based on the true story of Newton Knight. The movie was decent, but the true story is really good.
Will have to add it to my watch list.
Half staff because of the passing of president Jimmy Carter who by way was a civil war buff..
We have toured this location & it is amazing! I could be wrong, but I think the flags are flying at half mass because of President Jimmy Carter's death.
Ha, yea the attack was all over the news the day before so think it was fresh on my mind.
great job on thevideo
Can you imagine…July 2024…Little ole me, “Banned” from Historical Londontown! I had to “escape” in the pouring rain! Merry Land is not, never was and currently does not value true Southern Charm.
I LOVE HOW THE AMERICANS THINK THE 1800S ARE SOOOOOO OLD HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
Needs to put its name back to the Civil War Museum of the Confederacy
That name is a stain on US history associated with the DEFENSE OF INHUMAN BLACK SLAVERY😢
Marvelous.I enyou it.
Bravo Zulu to you! Cold and January and after that tragic event in New Orleans! We here in D.C. are in tears because of the Figure Skating Loss… We are crying ! Not to mention, the tragic crash in Philadelphia… Please recall the President of Mexico…”Female screaming… Was she there at the Alamo? What will she say or just protest…The Aunt of “America” vs, “Mexico”? The South will rise again! That’s what my Aunt taught me…in Biloxi, Mississippi!
All flags are at Half Staff in Honor of all of the Casualties of the Two Disastrous Aviation Accidents this past week.
I'm so tired of you people mispronouncing the name of general cleburne. It's not pronounced like clay born... it's Clee burn. I live in the town named after him and we don't pronounce it as clay born
Chill out. It’s not that big of an issue. Lol
RE-lax. Good grief.
