If Davis woulda kept General Johnston in, I wonder what our chances to keep Atlanta would have been. Oh well the reason we are in the mess we are in today is directly related to the fact that we lost and the holy North won.
In response to some of the comments: I grew up in the South. The four years of the slavers' failed attempt to create a nation expressly based on the institution of chattel slavery are NOT my "heritage," unless I choose to focus on and "honor" THAT over ALL of the shared heritage of the United States, including that we ENDED chattel slavery. It's "Hate Pathetically Excused as Heritage," and we ALL know it, especially those of us who grew up with these people and know full well how they talk and think amongst each other, when they think they're safely away from the ears of decent people. This veneration and justification of the Confederacy is as disgustingly un-American as you can get, short of having a swastika tattooed on your forehead.
Let's honor the history of the Civil War with statues of REAL heroes, by erecting a statue in EVERY former Confederate city, town and village, to honor the 200,000+ SOUTHERN Black heroes - born in the United States, just like every person who fought for the slavers - who joined the Union Army to fight against the ACTUAL oppression of institutionalized human slavery, for the ACTUAL freedom of their families and people, against REAL slavers and the damn fools that fought the war for them in the name of their "freedom" to be a slave society. Let's honor REAL American values.
Why were the prounionist areas in the South with low % slaves populated? Very few exceptions were as New Bern area in North Carolina and Middle Kentucky where some counties which had higher % slave population were prounionists. The Confederacy gave about 100 000 White prounionist soldiers and Kentucky, Missouri, Maryland and Delaware gave more white prounionist soldiers than proconfederate soldiers! Jones county in Mississippi, Winston county in Alabama, East Tennessee, West Virginia and Ozark region in Arkansas were low% slaves populated areas!
Nope. The Union fought the war on Confederate territory and demoralized their army, civilians, and strained their resources to an unsustainable level. Union had better soldiers, generals, government support, civilian support, industrial infrastructure, and a superior navy. The South NEVER had a chance and was foolish to try.
@@DonaHERNDON more Native Americans fought for the South and one - attained the rank of general and General Waite was the last Confederate general to surrender - the British never came in on either side and the Trent affair almost triggered a war between the British Empire and the Union, nevertheless you are correct that the North’s sheer numbers was the tipping point that allowed the North to ultimately gain control of the outcome
@@MrFRO4484 so how did we win our War for Independence or lose Vietnam? There are many “upsets” in the history of warfare - there is nothing guaranteed when you roll the iron dice of war
@@fett333 You are correct. I’m just tired of always hearing the lame excuse of, “The North had more people”, for the South losing the war. To oversimplify a complex war, with that statement, is offensive to history.
In the beginning, they weren't after cities so they should have left Atlanta and went North and hooked up with Lee, where they would have had one major battle to decide at all. But Sherman ran through the South. He should be a war criminal because he lived out the civilians. The people who weren't even fighting there weren't Combatns He should have been brought up on charges of war Crimes
Always love to learn, see and hear about the CW as it took place back home in ATL! thank you for your work!
Good movie. I had a bunch of relatives who fought in this campaign so this one is special to my family.
Outstanding post as always - takes me back to those great times reenacting back in the 90s - thanks for posting
just finished the premiere...great job!
Thank you, LionHeart FilmWorks.
That picture of the union general leaning up against a tree is Grant - not Sherman - the narrator is wrong
Excellent info, but the music is obnoxiously loud.

About 100 000 white soldiers fought for the Union from the Confederacy!
@@avenaoat Also worth remembering.

North Georgia and (West part of) North Carolina had low slaves populated areas and many prounionists lived here.
If the Northerners didn't have thousands of more people fighting for them, the South would have won.

The North had Indians and the British came to help.

Wouldn't 150 years ago be 1874? Was the civil war still going then? 😂
This was filmed and created in 2014.
