Those entrenchments it’s something you don’t see much Civil War documentaries but was used a lot. Nice job
Glad you enjoyed! It was well over 90° that weekend so it was quite a bit of work for the fellas who participated.
I did civil war reenacting for a year and didn't care for it. I enjoy watching the reenactments much more than being in them.
Glad you enjoyed visiting! Hope you get a chance to check out the longer show over on HistoryFix.
Thats looks awesome!
Thanks! Hope you get to see the larger program and enjoy it as well.

Enjoy!
in reality would the soldiers just stand up and be shot they didnt duck or avoid been shot at.
Yes, it’s called Napoleonic tactics. Before rifling Soldiers had to get in long lines to mass their fire to even hit a target. Then Rifling was invented around the time of the Civil War which made weapons highly more accurate, but the military keep using those Napoleonic tactics and you were considered a coward if you didn’t stand and fight. That’s one of the reasons the death toll was so high in that war. By the end of the war both sides wised up and were digging trenches to where it pretty much looks like world war one warfare.
Good question
And here in the middle of the war is when we are seeing the transition. We took a lot of things out that we considered authentic at the event. We are comfortable with this interpretation by those chaps.
@@nimitz1739 You basically got a full house on all the typical myth on the civil war...
Its not napoleonic tactics. Liniar warfare with muskets had been around since the late 17th century.
Rifling had been around since at least the 1500s. And military rilfes had been in wide use in specialized "jäger" units since the mid 1700s.
The rifle musket was by 1860 not a new weapon but had been around for 15+ years.
The typical combat range of the civil war was about 100yards, well within the range of smoothbore muskets.
(because the american soldiers never learned any marksmanship, usually never fired their guns out side of combat so simply did not know how to use it outside of about 150 yards. And no, civilian experience with firearm do not help in regard to using a military rifle musket at long distance... that is why the NRA was created post war)
Napoleonic tactics is all about quick movements in column screened by massive numbers of skirmishers.
This was very rarely done during the civil war.
Tactically it was much closer to how the 7 year was was fought in Europe. In slow moving lines.
The death toll was not high because of the weapons.
2/3 deaths was to sickness and other none combat causes.. the result of mobilizing massiv numbers of men and keeping them in the field for 4 years. Including taking men from small rural towns and exposing them to sickness and germs found in large cities... or taking norther farmboys and marching them into areas in the south with sicknesses they have not been exposed to before...
That result in a lot of dead men.
The casualty rates in combat was not higher than battles during the Napoleonic wars.
(And if better weapons result in more deaths why where the franco prussian war, where both sides had much better weapons less deathly? and how can battles fought by the romans have rates that are extremely high?)
Finally, using trenches was nothing new... they have been around for 2000+ years.
@@nimitz1739what the other guy said. Nearly everything in this comment is wrong
@@thomasbaagaard Napoleonic tactics is literally what they were Teaching commanders at West Point and training at the beginning of the America Civil War. And Napoleonic tactics was used. You act like soldiers didn’t get sick in any other war.
And we are talking about the American Civil War. They did not use trenches till late war when they figured out “Napoleonic tactics” was out dated because of rifling!
Lineup soldiers up on one side with rifled weapons, and the other with non-rifled weapons, and see with line crumbles.
