Lloyd Tilghman was exchanged in August, 1862, for John Reynolds. Reynolds was captured at Gaines Mill, the same Reynolds who was later shot & killed by a sharpshooter at Gettysburg. After the exchange, Tilghman was posted at Vicksburg. At Champion Hill, in June, 1863, Tilghman was struck & killed by artillery fire.
damn fine work. Keep it up. Dont pay attention to views. What you are doing here is for the ages. Let me know if there is any way I can help. I love this series. The battles in the west are always over shadowed by Lee in the east.
I don’t get it this video has a good amount of views, there are a lot of similar creators with criminally less views of most of their videos than this one. History Hustle and Wayback History just to name a couple, Ushanka Show too although that’s a bit niche
bitterly persecuted = murdered in mass with no trial or anything. Not just known by Davies but ordered. Also good to know that Halleck didn't like Grant. Up to the point when Grant became his boss, then he was cool with him... Reading into it, the bickering between Generals in both armies is amazing. Grant was a rare exception. Mostly.
It's special. The confederates never saw the big picture. General Lee thought fighting the army of the potomac was a good idea when he should have ran at gettysburg. He was only 60 miles out of virginia. They marched out of virginia carrying only 60 rounds per man. Imagine how much fire power floated on union ships compared to what a man can march with?
This battle and the taking of Ft. Donelson were of monumental importance. Grant had the wherewithal to see that and wasted no time in seizing these forts. Ft. Henry was poorly laid out to begin with and was an easy mark.
It’s pronounced “Eads” not “Fads” which is what I thought I heard here. Mr. Eads was a groundbreaking engineer with over 50 patents, and also designed the Eads bridge in St. Louis, which still stands today.
Just saying but I just watched an amazing movie that has to do with the events on the Tennessee and the Cumberland Rivers at this time and it’s a very good movie and one that you might be interested in and I really loved it and the reason why I loved it is because it’s the story of an unsung American heroine and the movie is called Lincoln’s secret weapon and it’s about the life of a girl named Anna Ella Carrol.
I don’t know if this is going to be ignored, but was Fort Henry always on an island? Or did it become an island because of the swollen Tennessee river?
You probably never will from warhawk. Good creator . . . yet hung up on the mighty Union . . . never mind that they were the aggressors . . . invaders of a sovereign nation (the CSA) and no different than someone like Hitler invading Czech. and Poland or Stalin taking the Baltic States. Some day History will be corrected and the idea of the USA willing to decimate the southern peoples because they were powerful enough to do so will be acknowledged. It was all about the land. If they had to kill off all the Southern White people to reclaim the land, then they would happily do so. (Not a southerner . . . I'm from the northern USA who believes in telling the truth)
Ead's ships were built at Mound City, Illinois, which is just north of Cairo, Illinois and Carondelet, Missouri., which was then just south of St. Louis, Mo. Mound City, Missouri is in a prairie northwest of St. Joseph's Missouri. You've got some good stuff here but you need someone to help you edit and proof the material before publication.
Fantastic research and the amount of detail and your love of the topic is undeniable and infectious. But please, please get someone to proofread your script, and work on your narration. There are many reading and grammatical/vocabulary errors throughout all the videos thus far. I hope you'll be improving in subsequent videos. Either way, you've got a fan here now :)
Just a point of reference: a political general was a politician or civilian, with no prior formal military training, appointed to command by a politician. The way you use the term US Grant would be a political general.
@@orcinus6802 made up? How? Oh. You are just telling me you dont know what you are taking about. Check out Sterling Price's rebuttal of the assertion he was not a political general. But yeah. Grant was a political general too since he was appointed by a politician. Lmao. Sherman received his commission from Lincoln so he was a political general too. So was McClellan by the videographers defunition. How about you put some thought in your reply. Next
Reay: for the last time neither Halleck or Grant were political generals. Both were West Point trained. A political general is one who was appointed by a civil to military command without any previous military training. Try reading what I wrote. If the narrator, or anyone else, thinks Halleck is a political general is just plain wrong. Done arguing a silly point. Thanks.
An interesting and well-researched depiction of the batle, but rendered more of an embarrassment concerning the butchery of the King's English by the narrator. Sorry, but as a teacher of syntax, diction, and such, it is hard to ignore such an example of what happens when phonics is abandoned as it has been by the public school system for several decades. The illiterate aren't even aware of how they were shortchanged. An "A" for effort and graphics, but...
Yes Sir, I was extremely annoyed, feeling the narrator stepping blindly in the air, not knowing where to put his foot (or tongue!) next! So horrible! (And English is my 2nd language!...)
While the content is excellent, the significant amount of mispronunciation is very difficult to take. How can you pronounce "Carondelet" properly but mispronounce "theater"?
I like the history but am surprised at how very many words you mispronounce. Rehearse, and ask for pronunciation help. Your history stories will be more professionally done and you will have a product to be proud of.
This dude did not mispronounce any words why are there so many people commenting this? His pronunciation of theater is a regional dialect, and his pronunciation of Cairo, IL is correct “Kay-ro”
Thank goodness. I’ve been waiting for a channel like this tackling the Civil War
Im happy you found us!
These videos are amazing and helpful, keep up the good work!

@@WarhawkYT you pronounced James B. Eads name wrong. just letting you know.
@@STLOU87 I've realized that, in the script it was Fads, but the actual guy was Eads.

Wow that was a harsh one at Fort Henry. Nice video mate.

Can imagine that the noise was deafening inside the ironclads when firing off the cannons
Wonderful video, your channel is a gem !
Very fine work. I never realized the enormity of the fort.
I live on the TN river right where this happened. Great coverage, great park if you ever get to go
Nicely done video
EXCELLENT! EXCELLENT! EXCELLENT!
i have a fascination for the ACW and the naval battles especially.

For the record, I come for the in-depth information you provide. I have yet to be misled by your quirks of pronunciation. Well done, son.
Glad to hear that Thomas!
Great Video Warhawk!
Thank you Victory!
My Great Great Great Grandfather, John Henry Dorman, was on the USS Carondelet.
Another great video. Keep up the good work.
@3:20 the engineer is not Fads but Eads!
mispronouncing Cairo Ill too?! Sounds like "Kay-ro."
great video but the picture of the generals and flags take up too much space on the map.
Thanks!
You bet!
amazing work, just simply that
Thanks THEequalsGAMER!

Great videos....but some very 'interesting' pronunciations 😮
How did the gun crews blow up their cannons? Did they double load the powder?
Tilghman isolated himself. Huge mistake. He had no room for maneuver. He should have moved his entire command to Donaldson.
Well done. Great channel

Which tracks are you using from filmstro, I hear the same ones in Epic history TVs stuff.

10:28 I used to live in Danville KY
Tilghman was in a really tough situation, but he still made the wrong choice
Didn’t have much of any choice really. Dude was fucked based on his command and orders. Whoever built that fort really screwed the pooch
8:42 the guys middle intial is wrong in either the graphic or the narration.
It was the script, well redo this video in the future, thank you though
@Warhawk just giving you a hard time. We can always Google stuff.

True. Halleck was a professional army officer...who was a master of politics.
You need to put a little more thought into your made up definitions.

It's pronounced (Cairo) kiro not karo. Karo is the sweetener made from corn.
Cairo IL is pronounced differently from Cairo in Egypt
He pronounced it correctly in the video
Nope the creator is correct, Cairo, IL is pronounced “Kay-ro”

Well, go ahead and get your refund then go somewhere else. Or, make your own.
Needs a new narrator. Cairo, impotent, theatre. In a another video, McIntosh pronounced like MickIntosh. Otherwise nicely done.
That’s how we pronounce those words here in Texas.
Cairo, IL is pronounced differently than Cairo, Egypt. He pronounced the Illinois version (Kay-row) correctly.
