Not if they have a Lost Cause narrative or an overly sanitized version of Northern views of slavery. In fact, where are all the thousands of African Americans (on both sides) that did much of the fatigue duty and drudgery? One never sees that. And to be honest a real Civil War movie would be about 95 % (or more) sheer boredom. Except for the Peninsular Campaign.
Nice compliation. People will spend the rest of time trying to relate to these brave men and will never understand how they were able to do such deeds.
"Gods and Generals" and "North and South" are my ultimate favorite Civil War flicks. I especially enjoy movies that focus on the period right before the match is lit and war breaks out.
North and South was a third-rate bodice ripper that got made into a miniseries. Any connection with history is mostly tertiary due to the setting. "The Passion of the Stonewall" was a horrid movie that strayed away from it's actual literary content because Bud Robertson had just published a biography of Jackson and was the technical advisor.
At the outbreak of the Civil War, enemy identification was difficult; I notice a mixture of Blue and Gray uniforms fighting under the early Confederate 1861 flag . Some Confederate officers are wearing Union blue and leading gray-uniforms into battle. This was a common situation at the commencement of hostilities...
At the outbreak of the Civil war even some union State milicias wearing grey uniforms and some confeds blue , this led to confusion and friendly fire during the first battles, the USA 11. Indiana volonteer (zuaves ) or the "Guthrie Greys" wearing grey uniforms for a time. Green was also used by both sides "Clinch rifles" Georgia CSA or "Berdans Sharpshooters" 1st and 2nd regt. USA similar looking Flags led also to confusion in the first battles
The Young Centrist I think the way that could work is if you play as a highly skilled mercenary who can afford to have the most advanced guns. Have two different campaigns. You can hire yourself out to the Confederates or to the Union. At that time the most advanced guns that were also common enough for people to own if they had the money were lever action rifles. Idk if cartridge revolvers were around during the civil war but they did have black powder revolvers. The down side to black powder revolvers is they take longer to reload than cartridge revolvers.
This breaks my heart. I had three Ancestors fight at Shiloh. Two for the South and one from the North. I am thankful that they all three fought all the way through and lived.
@@Blueskysandbandsaws It was Wallace who was from Illinois that fought at the Hornet's Nest. He was shot in the head and died about 10 days after. His wife showed up the day he was shot. On the second day the Tennessee Troops fought the first day where up all night waiting on a night attack from the Union. Mississippi Troops were moving through the Tennessee Troops the morning of the second day and were day Tennessee get out of the way Mississippi is coming through. They disappeared into the woods and ran right into the attacking Union Forces. Mississippi ran back through the Tennesseans. The Tennesseans started yelling Tennessee get out of the way Mississippi is leaving. If not for the Spring Rains The South had planned to attack Grant 5 days earlier but couldn't move because of the mud. If Johnston would have been able to attack when planned they had a great chance of beating Grant. Beuller would have not been able to reinforce Grant.
If you ever get to the state of Virginia, make sure you see the Brandy Station Battlefield. 21,000 Union and Confederate cavalry charged and counter charged each other for 4 hours in this battle. It was the largest cavalry battle of the war.
As an ex soldier I could never understand as to why two army's could just stand facing each other and shot the crap out of each other, the mind boggles. ⚔⚔⚔☠☠☠
That movie sucked.[ Its only redeeming value was that it wasn't as bad as Gods and Generals, but only by a little. The best part of that movie was when I was at Little Round Top and some knucklehead was trying to impress his girlfriend to find where Buster Kilrain was killed. I had the joy of telling him that there was no such person.
The last scene when the union troops were trapped was actually just sad but you can't blame the southerners for what they did cause they just saw their best friends get blown to pieces by them
that's war for ya. you gotta use every advantage that you can use, or otherwise the enemy will use his and kill ya. if they keep on fighting and don't surrender - you gotta kill em. simple as that.
Thank God the day of Napoleonic tactics & these types of shoulder to shoulder charges are over. Took awhile but we learned. Too bad it had to cost so many lives before we did.
They tried at least since the early WW1, and then Generals realised that technoligical evolution of weapons since Napoleonic wars made this type of tactique too costly in terms of human lives, and such charges turned systematically into a bloodshed, then comes the trench warfare (which was, for the same reason, abandonned during the beginning of WW 2, replaced by more "modern" tactics such as German Blitzkrieg or Allied coordinates landings and campaigns between air, sea and ground)
there was actually two bayonet charges that afternoon on July the 2nd the first was by col Patrick o Rorke west point class of 61 top of his class last was Custer an Irishman
I feel sorry for Barnard Bee. Killed in the FIRST battle of the ACW, he never had a chance to prove himself and is virtually forgotten today, except for coining the nickname "Stonewall" for another, much more famous man.
Just saying but the fighting scenes on little round top in the movie Gettysburg where shot on what at the time of the battle was my 4x great grandparents property
I can't watch scenes like these and not cry. The sounds alone, especialy the bullets whizzing by, seem so real they actually scare me. The Battle of the Crater is especially sad because several Confederate soldiers admitted later that it was a slaughter. The Union not only wasted an opportunity to open a break in the line defending Petersburg, but also wasted the lives of hundreds of soldiers because of poor planning, leadership, and execution.
They went IN the crater instead of AROUND it, politics decided at the last minute that white soldiers were to charge instead of black troops who were specifically drilled for that task because it would of look like prejudiced cannon fodder for the slaughter if black troops went in and were beaten, the white troops who were not specifically drilled for that task went In rather than AROUND, the rest is history.
Actually Chamberlain's Charge was an attempt to drive the Confederates from the proximity of his position before they could send in another brigade. The Union troops had exhausted their ammo and could not fall back or expect fresh ammo at the time. They charged as the Confederates wer still forming up to fight their way up. Timing is everything in a charge in a battle. At the Crater, the Union engineers missplaced the explosives direction of explosions or put too many in the wrong facing..
There is bias in the movies & TV about The Lost Cause. Confederacy was as famous for brave foot & Cavalry charges as the Union, but showing the outgunned & outnumber Confederates charging is a lot more exciting and emotionally moving I guess images wise.
@@miketaylor5212 I can see a soldier throwing his musket in desperation. Like being out of ammo or not having time to reload but that guy was chucking them one after another lol. If I was him I’d be shooting and reloading.
Actually it was over disagreements with the North and South states of the United States of America. Mostly over politics some things having to do with slavery and others not
in some ways it was but there was a lot of humanity in it like when the confederates wouldnt shoot the little drummer telling him to go back or when they crossed the lines to trade tobacco for coffee even times when the north played dixie for the southern troops and the southern bands would play battle hymm of the republic for the yankees in their opposing trenches they would play each others music. not every southern soldier was truly a seccesionist and no every union soldier was for the north they just happened to get drafted.
Afghanistan 2001. US Special Operations were going into battle against the Taliban while mounted on horseback because actual vehicles don't work in parts of Afghanistan. There are still several armies that use horse cavalry units because they operate in very rugged mountainous terrain which makes the use of vehicles nearly impossible.

@@briansass4865 Yes, I am not stupid. But why not indicate which civil war it is in the title. All they had to do was add the word "American" in the heading.
Why the hell would the confederates look like hobboes at Manassas? At the start, confederates were pretty well dressed, and had proper uniforms for the most part, even the militia regiments...
It depended on how much money was spent on outfitting the new unit when it was mobilized. Many militia units had requirements that its members provide their own uniforms so the quality of uniforms varied greatly. I can recall one unit called the Mobile Cadets (Co A, 3rd Alabama Infantry) was composed of members of the middle and upper classes and wore a fine uniform based off the West Point cadet uniform while Wheat's 1st Louisiana Battalion wore stripped pantaloons, baggy red shirts, and straw hats. Both were raised in Spring 1861. Standardized uniforms didn't come around until late 1861 and early 1862. Not only did you see a wide variety of uniforms, but units would have a wide variety of weapons. Early in the war you had units carrying smooth bore flintlock muskets left over from the War of 1812 next to units with the the latest percussion rifles.
What are you talking about? We didn't have any uniforms. Some were wearing their grandfather's uniforms from the revolution, others the very clothes they volunteered in. The Confederacy hadn't existed long enough to disperse or produce proper uniforms yet.
@@kevincooper814 actually some of the units went to war wearing tricorner hats and revolutionary war uniforms that were made for them as the original revolutionary war uniforms were wool they would have been moth eaten and in no shape to wear. but neither side had a standardized uniform at the beginning of the war. units from florida wore white cotton uniforms and straw hats as did some louisiana troops because wool didnt work well for them

Most Civil War movie depict ciivl war charges to the glory of the confederacy. All except Chamberlin at Gettysburg.. as if the union couldnt adequatly carry out a charge.
Until the CSA started losing men over a period and couldn't replace them, the Union typically got their asses handed to them by smaller confederate units.
They both used numbers to win, and threw away the lives of many men. They both used social reform as a platform for justifying conflicts. They both wanted to create a greater "Union" of various sovereign states. They both went to places they where not welcome. Actually I can see the comparisons.
@Jonathan Williams Give me your evidence and what about the Confederate soldiers killing surrendered black regiments? The kkk got its influence from the Confederacy idk why you call "Yankees evil" while your "heroic" soldiers do this ik some soldiers went bad but this is beyond me
The fort Wagner charge never fails to bring chills to my entire body and fill me with adrenaline. Which is saying something because I’m emotional dead inside.
I have always admired the insane courage of the Infantry Bayonet Charge. I myself would be glad that I wore my Brown Underwear if ordered to do such a rash and dangerous act.
It's typically done as a defensive charge. Frankly if ordered to do so you wouldnt crap yourself, because its a last resort at that point.
So true
There needs to be more civil war movies
Indeed ww2 is too over rated
Yeah, but one that tells both the Confederate and Union side of the movie not just one.
I think there should be more Movies about the Revolutionary war.
Not if they have a Lost Cause narrative or an overly sanitized version of Northern views of slavery. In fact, where are all the thousands of African Americans (on both sides) that did much of the fatigue duty and drudgery? One never sees that. And to be honest a real Civil War movie would be about 95 % (or more) sheer boredom. Except for the Peninsular Campaign.
