This documentary of the Civil War Reenactment is very well done. I'm very impressed by the level of detail, knowledge, and commitment exhibited by the participants. I've always been fascinated with the American Civil War and I think keeping the history alive in this way is a very empowering and beneficial thing to do. I congratulate all involved. I think I would like to attend one of these reenactments sometime. I live in Ohio so perhaps I will be able to find one close to me here. (And on another note, I've read a lot of the comments below - many of them concerning themselves with the average age and weight of the reenactors. These people are not filming a movie, they are fulfilling a dream, acting on a passion, and contributing to the rich history of this nation. What they do, they do out of love for country, family, friends, and history. And I say, more power to to them).

For someone that was in Band for 4.5 years and played the trumpet. My ear knows what an in tune note is, I can't say I could enjoy the music thoroughly. Not to say the band members can't play but its most likely the instruments.
@@lambdastudios4083 This form of bluegrass from the period isnt supposed to be perfectly in tune. I believe its more accurate being ever so slightly out of tune, especially considering that one would tune by ear at that time. Also banjo players are never in tune, and Id know since I am one. I understand why it might bother some. Especially if you were to have perfect pitch or a very keen ear.
No, but I would cut them some slack before the reality is that only retirees have the free timeand money to kit themselves up and devote themselves to this life style.The only time it really bothers me to see over weight Civil War re-enactors is during actualCivil War themed movies where they don't weed out the "Santa Claus soldiers" and make sure that only skinny guys are in camera shot.

Question. Do they still use the original canons. On the field? Or bring replicas? I was part of the reenactment. At old bethpage yearly in the 1990s. And did join the 119 Regiment. But due to lack in funds. Didnt get to go that year. Bummer.
Unless you yourself are a Reenactor and are part of a unit then STFU about the dude's ages and weight who are Reenactors themselves these guys do and go through a lot make these events happen both Union and Confederate alike.
That's true. People expect these men/women to be 100% accurate all the time with everything there. Should be grateful that others want to even keep up with the tradition in the first place.
what a fantastic recap of the event - thanks a TON for taking all the time to film this with multiple camera, capture the action on the filed, interviews, and of course the field music. LIKED the video. See you in the filed - LT 1st Minn Sharpshooters
The confederates used whatever weapons they had early on. They used pistols, shotguns, percussion cap rifles, flintlocks, and everything in between. Later on they standardized more
We used to have a reenactment 2 times a year here when I was a kid and I attended every one. In 2008 it stopped for good and I think that is wrong. We need to keep this stuff alive and never forget it. History is so incredibly important!
Please, do not forget the 10.000 italians who volunteered, fought and died for the Confederacy. The militia of Louisiana had an italian guards battalion, later renamed 6th Regiment European Brigade, and other companies within regiments from Alabama, Virginia, Tennessee and Louisiana. General William Booth Taliaferro served in the Confederate Army as well as the commanders of the 6th Regiment European Brigade, Lt.Della Valle, Captain Marzoni, Captain Santini, First Lieutenant Marinoni and Second Lieutenant Baselli. Thank you from Italy for remembering them.
they call them Bones. The bones are a musical instrument which, at the simplest, consists of a pair of animal bones, or pieces of wood or a similar material.
Hello, I am making a history project at my school and was wondering if I could use some clips from this video. Obviously no commercial use, I'm just going to show the class.
Enlisted men in the artillery were not usually issued weapons. I'm familiar with a few accounts of enlisted men carrying revolvers, but it was pretty rare.
The union arilleryman had swords and Confederate arillery NCOS had swords as well. Mostly they were able to bring weapons from home if they had them too
8:25 By law you must be 16 or older to be a infantry man for civil war and revolutionary war groups. It doesn't mater which regiment or side you are on so why is there a boy that looks no older than 11 carrying a musket?
Hi there, I'm using this video in one of my school research papers, could you guys possibly post the date of filming in your description for future reference?
Hey Lester! I recommend looking for units in your area. Usually a unit or individuals will be more than willing to loan you some stuff to see how you like it.
I lived in Europe for half my childhood. from 2002 to 2010 I lived in Hungary from 2nd to 9th grade. It's where I hit puberty, started liking girls, started to find my identity, thought about what I want to do in life, etc. But European history just doesn't fascinate me as much as U.S. history. I also know that, a surprising number of Americans dismiss their own country as "evil" and "fascist" even though it was the United States that fought the Nazi's in World War 2. Meanwhile, the Europeans these people want to be like so much, also dismiss their own history as evil, and, ironically, I've met many Europeans who wish Europe was more like America. I love America. The history is nasty, sure, but history is nasty all over the world. People have sucked throughout time and across many cultures. The U.S., neither the north, nor the south, is somehow more or less evil than any other part of the world.
Lee had grown weary of the war wanted a battle to bring the Union to the table to negotiation the South leaving the Union but as Longstreet told Lee they were always fighting a defensive war holding ground not one of offensive war of taking ground.
@@shane6060 I have a feeling that your family did not fight BUT my family fought for the Confederates and there were part of the 18th North Carolina Infantry
my family moved here in 1726 before this was a country, they where pilgrims from germany, they landed in pennsylvania on a boat. they moved around and spread out to montanna michigan wisconsin maine. my family has fought and still fights in every war this country has been involved in. still to this day. never thinking of themselves all volunteers. so you had a family member that served in a useless pointless war, be proud of the history but the south will never rise again, your former slaves are going to burn it down and re-enacting a war they lost is not going to change that.
I agree it was a waste of life. every war is pointless but sometimes it has to happen. slavery had to end. So are you republican or democrat. my point is if you say the south will rise again your a democrat. if you think the confederate flag is old glory then your a democrat. republicans freed the slaves , but Im sure you already know that. my dad was an only child and did not have to go to vietnam. he volunteered
