After two days of indecisive action along the Unfinished Railroad and the Warrenton Turnpike, Union Major General John Pope orders Fitz John Porter's troops of the attached V Corps, Army of the Potomac, to launch a major attack against Stonewall Jackson's entrenched brigades near the "Deep Cut" position of the Unfinished Railroad along Dogan's Ridge. The ensuing bloody battle for the Deep Cut is chaotic, with Porter's troops fighting fiercely with the hard-pressed Confederates, who at one point even resort to throwing stones and rocks from the Deep Cut at the attacking Federals. Meanwhile, General Robert E. Lee and his Right Wing commander, Major General James Longstreet, begin setting in motion their coup-de-grace sledgehammer attack against the exposed Union left flank south of the Warrenton Turnpike, which will press them across Chinn Ridge toward the old battleground of Henry House Hill. The decisive day of the Second Battle of Bull Run, or Battle of Second Manassas, is at hand.

"Babe wake up, new Warhawk video just dropped"
Warhawk and chill?
🤦♂️😆
Yall have the absolute best way of showing and explaining the battles. Keep up the great work. APPRECIATE YALL!
Thanks Eric, I appreciate it!
I've always found the rock fight at the railroad cut to be one of the most unique battlefield incidents of the entire war. I also really like the Troiani piece. As always great work on the video!
The long awaited 4th part 👍 thanks for all your hard work on the content.
The way the Zouaves of Warren’s Brigade saved Hazlett’s Battery set the tone for Hazlett to do his part at Gettysburg on July 2nd, 1863
For which he paid with his life. Hazlett deserves so much credit for his heroism at Little Round Top.
@@otlayr3030 Hazlett, O’Rourke, Vincent, Weed, Chamberlain, and Warren did so much on that hill.
@@gallantcavalier3306 Those 6 men saved the Union that day and they should never be forgotten.
that might be so
Just made dinner so this is gonna be a good episode
i hope you have enough food to last you 30m lol
Job well done, I really get a sense of how poorly the Union troops were being lead. So many regiments just standing around awaiting orders, and no support to those who are taking up defenses. Can't wait for Antietam!
yep, in times of war, many are forgotten
There is a theory floating around that porter was a southern sympathizer which would explain a good deal of his behavior.
This channel simply doesn't have an unworthy video in its library. Great summary of the whole campaign, and battle, wonderful work guys.
Quite a ways to go for the campaign and battle I always found most interesting (Murfreesboro/Stones River), but I am fully confident you will do it, and my ancestors, proud.
General Pope, upon taking command of all of the Union Armies in 1862, said that the enemy never saw the backs of his own Troops.
They did at Second Manassas, though!
General Pope learned two very valuable lessons that day.
1:Never let your mouth overload your "Backside"!
2:You can be replaced!
And, sure enough... for a short while in 1862, General McClellan got his command back, as Commander of all of the Union Forces.
That didn't last long, though. After Antietam, and General McClellan's utter failure to completely crush the Confederate Army, President Abraham Lincoln replaced General McClellan with somebody that was even worse than General McClellan-General Ambrose Burnside, who ended up wasting so many of his Brave Soldiers, that the ground in front of the Confederates was strewn with at least 7,500 of his Men, dead or wounded. General Burnside was so stubborn, that he thought he knew more than his subordinates did, and it led to one of the worst Union defeats of the entire Civil War!
Great video. Enjoyed it very much
26:00 Beverly Robertson’s cavalry attacks, and good ole honest General John Buford meets it and repels the attacks long enough to cover the Union Army’s retreat!!!
you and your cavalry lol
FINALLY! I've been so excited for the conclusion of 2nd Manassas, even though I already know how it ends. I just love the way your videos explain everything in beautiful detail.
You're welcome, took a long time but its here!
@@WarhawkYT It was worth it, the map looks stunning! Your videos have come a long way and I'm so excited for what you have in store for Antietam!
Excellent! Ive been following the civil war since I was 7, Im glad i started with books, but these are so well put together. Future generations will have so much they can learn. As always- looking forward to the future battles. Especially Chancellorsville! And of course- Gettysburg will go without saying, Day 1 in particular.
I hope we dont disappoint!
The get battle flags correct you nitwit
you have the best recounting of the battles of the Civil War i have ever come across. Your research is impeccable. Thank you my friend. History owes you a debt of gratitude.
Fun fact: The officers who led the Union troops during Manassas 1 & 2 battles all had the unique ability of making me want to claw my own eyes out whenever I look at their combat maneuvers during those battles. It‘s so painful to look at. 😣
Looking at Porter‘s attack unfolding has an almost comical quality because, like, LONGSTREET IS *RIGHT THERE*. The. Whole. Time. With his entire half of the Army. Sitting right on Porters flank, he could have attacked at any time. It was the most obvious thing ever but the Union commanders just kind of ignore it-it‘s like one of those old cartoons or something, you know, where they take the dramatic irony and crank it up to 11. Guess what‘s gonna happen, the movie is telling us.
But they just had to keep attacking Jackson. Gotta *frontally* attack Jackson who is sitting in a giant trench waiting for them instead of maybe trying to flank him with your right flank or something. Nope, attack Jackson from the front so that Longstreet is sitting right on your flank while you‘re doing it. 🤦
Great video!! You must have spent 100's of hours in the creation. Best I have seen about the Battle of Manassas.
yeah sadly we have
Man! Watched it during the premier, but I played the whole playlist for this campaign and battle. Well done. Outstanding even. Cheers from Tennessee
Thanks HillBilly!
Sent here from watching Vlogging Through History channel. Really loving the work guys
Welcome aboard!
Excellent, Warhawk!! *Well* worth the wait! Thank you . . . (RJT)
Thanks RJT!
RALLY ROUND MEN!!! RALLY ONCE AGAIN!! WARHAWK HAS UPLOADED A NEW VIDEO!!!
Welcome back! Been looking forward to your vids
This was well worth the wait, these video's are getting so so much better each time I watch.
Thanks Jack
I feel this is all leading up to something big. REALLY big!
i wonder what it is!
Thanks for all the hard work you put into these videos 👍
Good work. Can’t wait for Sharpsburg. I’d be nice if there was scale on the map. I’d like to know how far away troops are when firing on each other.
I Missed this & the music at 11:24 always gets me hype 💥 Another Great Video
Hey look, it‘s Buford and Reynolds, I wonder if we‘re ever gonna see those two again 🤔
According to William Mahone’s Wikipedia page:
Short (5 feet 6 inches (168 cm)) and weighing only 100 pounds (45 kg), he was nicknamed "Little Billy". As one of his soldiers put it, "He was every inch a soldier, though there were not many inches of him." Otelia Mahone worked in Richmond as a nurse when Virginia Governor John Letcher sent word that Mahone had been injured at Second Bull Run, but had only received a "flesh wound." She is said to have replied, "Now I know it is serious for William has no flesh whatsoever."
Mahone refused to fight with his brigade at Gettysburg. Even under repeated orders he refused to move forward. He might be the cause for the unsuccessful second day
Like how your positioning of troops gives a easy understanding on modern google maps. Don't even have to wonder which direction ancestors moved to shoot invaders of the South. HOOD'S TEXAS BRIGADE 4th. Inf. Co. K. DEO VINDICE
Excellent work gents. It was well worth the wait. The battle animations were amazing. Can’t wait for more to come.
thanks bbg
Thanks for the great video!
I was wondering if you could clarify something for me. In the video, the 6th PA reserves are put in Hardin's brigade, but Wikapedia says that the 6th are in Seymour's brigade.
I'm just wondering which is correct as I have an ancestor who fought in that unit.
Thanks!
You're correct, thanks for pointing it out.
Warhawk is back!
great video, as always!
Thanks Marko!
How did I miss this,I'm late again!😮
Well Pope, time to send you to the frontier.
"Gee, thanks,"-The Sioux
later bozo
3:23 - 3:29 very cleverly stated! :D
Excellent video, I so enjoyed your work.
Thanks Wyoming!
Outstanding.
Excellent series, can't wait for the next episode. :)
Thanks Michael!
Ol' Pete being mostly useless once again! I tire of the worship heaped on Jackson, but he really did a good job setting up this battle. No one could know how inept Union leadership would be at this battle, but Longstreet's tardy attack (and McDowell's quick Chinn Ridge defense) saved the Federal army from complete destruction.
That is pretty awesome of Sgt Hutchinson. I am sure by wars end that he was no fan of Yankees. My great uncle Bill fought the Japanese in WWII and was pretty sore on them until his death.
Masterpice
another outstanding video!
Just saying but I can’t wait to see chantily and I can’t wait to see it because of a man who would be killed there and that man is general Philip Kearney and I also can’t wait to see it because of the brave men of the 79th New York infantry regiment.
by the looks of things, you cant wait
@@WarhawkYT well actually this is just a picture of me before a parade that I marched in and this just my uniform that I wear.
@@WarhawkYT I really don’t think he can, but can we be sure?
Been waiting for this video for months!
yeah you're not wrong lol
The Union are beaten back and this guy McClellan is back in command? It looks as if Bobby Lee will deliver a flawless victory on Union soil and bring the Union to it’s knees.
Got to give the Irish men and the Louisianas in this battle credit. I think that the Union could have beaten Jackson if they focus their forces in the right parts of Jackson's lines to weaken them.
yessir
LOL sure dream on like they did lolololol 😂😂😂😂😂
@@solomonpavon941 I'm serious the Union did weaken the Stonewall Brigade in this battle in they focused their attacks on different part of the line then piecemeal attacks it might been different. Still that required in depth information about the ground and enemy movements.
I love your videos but I'm always curious why certain units have different colors and borders
Best guess of their uniform colors
Absolutely Brilliant and Based
Indeed
nice video man
One ine occasion, some of Stonewall's men noted the bravery of Union soldier and urged that he be spared. Stonewall responded to shoot the brave ones ad thee others will flee
Are there any books or sources you can recommend about this battle in particular?
Check the video description, we post our sources
Looking forward to the battle of Chantilly. The last battle of Philip Kearny and Isaac Stevens.
Times are ending for the dwarf lol
Its always their coworkers fault more than mine.
This is fire 🔥 wow 😯 wow 🔥🔥😎😎😎😎
Some of the descriptions make the casualties sound alot worse than they wind up being.
What id u do boy go to Fiji for the winter for fear of another winter like last one down there in Texass

Me never have got my farm form my Da
I absolutely love this channel and have been following along since it had maybe a hundred subscribers, but some of the unit positions can't possibly be right here? Look at the Union manouvre starting at 5:00. Had the Union forces really conducted such a movement right in front of the Confederate right wing, wouldn't their entire line have been turned and rolled? I've noticed a similar thing in previous videos aswell: sometimes units seem to expose their flanks in a manner that would have had to be absolutely fatal if it really happened. This means that the distances between the forces were probably a bit greater than depicted.
The presentation is part of our story telling, it might not be 100% accurate to what actually happened.
In this specific instance, the Confederate right wing under Longstreet specifically did not begin their attack until Porter's men had already begun to retreat. This was an intentional trick to lull Pope into a false sense of security and to make him think his left flank was still relatively safe. If Longstreet's confederates had interfered with Porter's attack, it would have blown the entire surprise. Instead they held back on purpose so they could deliver a crushing blow after Jackson's men had already driven back the Yankees.
Let's go Buford!
Buford is the man
If it was not for Grant the south would of won
Are you sure about that? Lee was in a bad spot even before Grant came in.
Thats bit reductive don't you think? There's so much more to the union victory than just Grant.
Hi
Hi
