      A lot of the Confederate history is hidden from the public. The last Confederate General to surrender was a Native American with the Cherokee Native Territory. The Native Americans fought with the Confederacy until the bitter end. The father's of the Confederacy believed in private property right's. The Union conquered not only sovereign Confederate territory, but also sovereign Native territories. My heart will forever be in pain over the lost cause that was the great Confederate State's of America. God Bless 🇺🇸

These consisted of an Enfield and Springfield bayonet, 6 projectiles from solid shot to a Shenkel shell (including one un-punched Borman fused 12 pounder, several fuses, wooden fuse holders (likely Confederate), and cannon primers (from Buford's position on the first day), shrapnel from the Sherfy farm, several minie balls, and about 5 U.S. Belt Buckles and cartridge box plates, 2 Union breast plates, (2 of the buckles came from the 20th Maine position on Little Round Top.) Sold the entire collection to the Horse Soldier store/museum in Gettysburg.

    From what I understand, my family tree had more than 145 members serve in the Union Army. At least 14 were killed in action or died from wounds or disease. Even more injured. There's been a good bit of research already performed by others that I have seen, and I've always wanted to know more specifics. Your videos, and the History Underground vids by JD, inspired me the past couple of days to search specifically about our involvement in Gettysburg, if any. There is one man that I pinpointed (I think)... Cpl. Naum H. Apgar
    He served in the 110th Pennsylvania Infantry Regiment, Company B. He survived this battle. I am far from any expert, but from what understand the 110th fought in the Wheatfield on Day 2, and they were on Cemetery Ridge on Day 3. Hopefully I researched and read correctly their history, and I got that right. These videos now bring even a more personal connection for me to what he experienced. It really is unbelievable. I believe his name is on the memorial plaque on the 110th's Gettysburg Monument. Although he survived Gettysburg, he was killed at Deep Bottom, VA on July 27, 1864.
    I would imagine some other Apgar's were at Gettysburg. I don't believe any were killed or wounded there. Of those 145+ family members, I've found members of numerous regiments from NJ, PA, OH, NY, WI, MO, IL, and MN. So... now I need to investigate those other regiments to see if and how the regiments participated, and if my family members were there.

    My ancestor, Isham Laughon, fought in the 14th Virginia under Armisted. He was shot in the left shoulder by small arms fire. Since the Union didn’t open fire with small arms fire until the Confederates crossed the road, I expect he charged the wall. I don’t know if he crossed the stone wall, however. The 14th Va was on the far right of Armisted’s line with their right on the Spangler Farm Lane.

    I wonder if those Richmond newspapers mentioned anything about Brockenbrough's Virginia Brigade breaking? In 2008, I was a private in the 26th North Carolina reenactment unit taking part in the 145th reenactment and remember seeing the flag of the Garibaldi Guards across the field before the charge.
