    • @addressinggettysburg
      @addressinggettysburg  2 года назад +2

      The short answer is no one else wanted the job, they had an emergency to deal with and Meade was a solid commander. So they ordered him to take the job. He had no choice. Keep in my too that he was the final commander of the Army of the Potomac. So they must have thought well enough of him

I realize (and more ppl need to) that had Chamberlains line been broken by Oates’ Alabamians that the Union line would’ve been in zero danger as upwards of 12,000 Federal troops were in the vicinity of Little Round Top. However, this should not besmirch the bravery and gallantry of Chamberlain or his tough Maine men; he and his men fought like lions that day.

      Doubtful, with all due respect but that’s a “lost cause” pipe dream. Let’s say Ewells men somehow did take and hold Cemetery Hill tho, do you think Gen. Hancock would’ve sent word to Meade telling him to bring up the rest of the army? No. Winfield Scott Hancock was a brilliant commander and tactician, he would’ve recommended that the army displace and take up a position between Lee and Washington. Thereby forcing the Rebels to attack them on ground of their choosing…which is what happened at Gettysburg anyway.
      I get and to a certain degree, agree w your sentiment tho

    • @manilajohn0182
      @manilajohn0182 2 года назад

      Ewell did exactly what Jackson was well- known for doing. He sent a reconnaissance force to scout Cemetery Hill. They returned at dusk to report that the hill was held by a "...superior force". The same message which Lee sent to Ewell to take the hill if practicable also reminded him not to bring on a general engagement. Ewell's decision- making was correct based on the information which he then had available. It was only after the war ended that it became clear that a Confederate assault on Cemetery Hill would have likely succeeded.
      Longstreet's suggestion of a maneuver around the Union left was not a viable option after 1 July. The meeting engagement of 1 July ruined Lee's plan of campaign by casting the tactical initiative onto the AoNV. This was something which Lee had never wanted, because his plan of campaign was to maneuver the AotP into attacking the AoNV, and decisively defeat that attack. After 1 July, it was unlikely in the extreme that the AotP would assume the offensive and attack the AoNV.
      Moreover, Lee lacked the time to carry it out. The AoNV was foraging off of enemy territory and couldn't remain in any one area for more than 3-5 days- and the army hadn't foraged since Lee's concentration order of 29 June. Lastly, the strategic objective of the campaign was to achieve enough of a success to remove pressure (lift the siege) from the Confederate defenders at Vicksburg- and Vicksburg had been under siege for approximately six weeks. After 1 July, Lee was forced to attack. By 3 July, Lee had to either attack or abandon the campaign in failure.
      Cheers...

    If the Civil War was primarily over the issue of slavery then why did it take until 1863 for the Emancipation Proclamation to come into the picture? Why wasn't it brought about at the onset in 1861? Why did Lincoln write to Hoarce Greely (Editor of the New York Tribune) his paramount objective was preservation of the Union...and not either to save or to destroy slavery? I can understand the Northern Objective being one of preservation of the Union. I can also understand the Southern view of it being about Independence. What I don't understand is how it's viewed today as only being about the issue of slavery. If you ask most Americans about the CW they will respond....it was about slavery. That's it, it's all you need to know, full stop, and move along. It comes across as a disservice and an oversimplification to the bloodiest period in our Nation's history. Please don't mistake me for a Southern apologist. The South deserved to lose on the matter of slavery alone and I'm glad they did. It's an abhorrent and vile institution. Being a retired military man I see this being a power struggle. Once side fighting for unification and the other attempting to break away. The humanitarian cause being a secondary one. If I am error please feel free to educate me further because I desire to learn the truth.

    • @addressinggettysburg
      @addressinggettysburg  2 года назад +1

      The arguments that led to the suspicions and “othering” and ultimately secession all had slavery at their roots. The first pressing issue for Lincoln was restoring the union. Northerners would not have sent their sons to fight a war of liberation had that been the stated aim at the beginning. It happened in 1863 because that’s when Lincoln felt he had the clout to do it. But the emancipation proclamation didn’t “free the slaves”. The slaves had to somehow find themselves within union lines to be free. It was an executive order, which is not law. So eventually there had to be a constitutional amendment. Everything happens on a timeline that is out of our control. All the elements need to come together for things to happen. Just look at your own past and ask yourself why didn’t X happen to me at Y point in time instead of Z point in time, when it finally did happen. Lots more than we realize goes into a life event happening. Same goes with politics and war and comedy. Timing is key
