These Student Dorms Stand Where a Civil War Battle Happened: Fort Sanders & Fort Dickerson

Hey you guys, Chet the Dream Poet here. Come anchor down for another vlog today as we explore the site where Fort Sanders and the battle for Knoxville was fought. During the Civil War, Knoxville, TN was the most fortified city in the Country. There was a total of 16 forts in this area. One of them was Fort Dickerson which is preserved in the inner city of Knoxville. Remember, don't forget to give this video a thumbs up and subscribe for more content. Thank you all so very much for the support. Anchor down!

Oh man. Thar is exactly the place I had hope you would visit. I just found this channel today. I'm so glad you visited this place. I knew about it when I was a student there. Somewhere in that area was a deep pit that was an old fort.

Battlefields that took place close to cities quickly disappeared. The land was too valuable and the south wanted to forget about it in the early years after the war.

I agree!

At 11:06 Dickerson was a captain, not a general. I did a video about him years ago. I recently found pictures of some of his family and visited their gravesites.

It's Democrats who are defacing that monument which is weird seeing how it was Democrats who put it up in the first place.

You need to learn your civil war history of East Tennessee better! You kept saying the Holston River runs through Knoxville. The Holston and French Broad rivers merge above Knoxville and form the Tennessee River. Start doing more research if you are going to present Civil War History. Start with the book "The Knoxville Campaign: Burnside in East Tennessee" (2012) University of Tennessee Press, Earl J. Hess.

They actually called it the Holston during the war/battle. It wasn't until afterwards that the channels were dredged at the expense of the Federal government and the confluence of the Holston and the French Broad rivers were said to be where the Tennessee river began.

Please! It's Knoxville not Knox vul

[@acdcnut2011]

Thank you for your opinion!

[@jeannemabry4924]

Well, if you are a Tennessee native, you just might pronounce it Knox-vul.
You got your Knox-vul, Nash-vul, Cross-vul, Shelby-vul, Mary-vul, Henderson-vul, etc.

@@jeannemabry4924 Exactly! XD

[@jeannemabry4924]

Oh, and don’t forget Pike-vul, McMin-vul, Johnson-vul, Smith-vul. I might have to look at our state map to name some more of our great cities in Tennessee. God bless Tennessee.
