Make the politicians serve on the front lines and there would be fewer wars!
The dome on the capitol building was still being rebuilt at the time from the 1812 War.
Great video! Though at the beginning you could have panned up from the water to the soldiers. Great special effects and actors were (for the most part) great!
let me suggest jubal anderson early's memoirs and john brown gordon's memoirs. both of them tend to shovel it a bit but they are excellent.
Dude, the commentator sounds like the BF1 commentator
What I learned from history - the rebel is always the other, the heretic is always the other. The victor - who writes his-story - is always the righteous one. Dead men and vanquished people never talk, they cannot tell his-story.
I’d rather have the Country that supports freedom for the enslaved, rather than the Slave state. Just saying.
I would like to see this film.
Is this from a movie? If yes, which one?
I think it was Jubal Early that attacked Fort Stevens
The cinematography is great. Your audio/sound is terrible - can't understand any dialogue.
you late, Mr Early..
Is Lincoln on the parapet with an officer being shot genuine historical fact or fiction? I'm a Civil War buff and never learned of this incident.
Black servant spitting into the canteen; apparently he'd viewed the mini-series "Roots," several decades ago.
Yeah that was Another 'POS' Movie...total Bullshit. Just like this 'POS'.. 'dumb-ass-u-mentary'.
Anyone else cheering on the 6th Corps. like they are I'm a sports game?
Bag em
A shame old 'uncle john' of the VI Corps had died by this point. A true leader
Is this true? In 1864 I didnt think the CSA had any armies even close to Washington? I thought by that time most of the CSA that had been driven back close to Richmond? Also is it true that a rebel sharpshooter tried to take a shot at Lincoln while he was watching the battle?
jason robbins Look up ‘Early’s Raid on Washington’. Lee sent Early on a mission to shake up the top brass in Washington and divert Union forces from Virginia. It worked for a while, but in the end Early was smashed by Sheridan, he and returned to Lee with not much more than his staff officers.
So after Getttysburg when Lee barely escaped back to Virginia... A yr later he sent Early on Raid to Washington? Im not doubting what u say ive just never heard of this... I thought by this time Grant was surrounding Lee in Virginia so it just doesnt really make sense to me that he would send any of his corp to Raid Washington when he needed every man to defend against Grant!
jason robbins It is true that Lee’s situation was desperate at Petersburg, but it was out of desperation that he sent Early on this daring raid. Lee wanted Early to tie up Union forces elsewhere, even capture Washington, rather than having them reenforce Grant and lengthen the odds. Lee also knew that ever since the situation had turned into a siege, it was only a matter of time before the Confederate cause was doomed. Therefore he hoped that since Early kept Washington entertained and Lincoln nervous, it would prompt Grant to slip into mistakes other commanders of the AoP had done in the past: charge fortified Confederate positions, sustain heavy losses and retreat, allowing in turn Lee to slip away and reclaim an offensive strategy. But Grant had already suffered enormous losses at the Wilderness, Spotsylvania, Cold Harbor in the Overland Campaign, and would not be lured into pointless assaults. So while Grant waited Lee out, bombarding him with long range heavy guns, Early’s raid was eventually checked, driven back and crushed. Lee knew that the game was up. Unless he could link up with Johnston. But that never happened.
What you say makes since... I know Lee despite being outnumbered was still inflicting high casualties to the Union every time they attack like the battle of the Wilderness! Like u mentioned! It also makes sense that Lee thought Earlys raid might confuse Washington & force them to make crucial mistakes like they have all war. Yet Lee & Longstreet both knew Grant was a different kind of commander than Meade & all the rest! Just like with Pickets Charge... Lee had to know Earlys raid most likely would fail! My hope was that after Gettysburg he could eventually fight the Union to a stalemate in Virginia & they could just eventually come to some sort of even terms instead of the Union army basically surrounding Lee & starving his men until he was basically forced to surrender!
Also just saying u know what hurt the CSA more than anything? Their own men shooting their best generals... Stonewall has the Union forces retreating until he got shot by one of his own soldiers then later died of pneumonia! Then Longstreet later in the war had Hancoks corps retreating then he was shot in the Neck by one of his own men then they basically stopped the assault... i honestly believe if Thomas Jackson had lived Along with Longstreet not missing crucial times during the war with his wounds things really might have turned out differently! Still cant believe Longstreet during those times got shot through the neck & survived... Lived longer than his good friend Grant! That must have been rough when they finally had to fight against each other near the end of the war... They didnt face other b4 then as Grant was out in the TN theater. Did u also know that Longstreet wanted to be transferred out to TN to fight against Sherman & Grant so he could control his own army instead of being basically Lee right arm! ya know just controlling one of LEE's corp!
The casting is lousy - people during the civil war era wasn't as fat as most of these actors.
They're bit actors--they are re-enactors doing this as a hobby. These amateur productions (positively speaking) are better than anything Hollywood puts out. William B Dean, pvt., co "E" 8th La. Infantry, Louisiana Tiger Brigade, American Civil War Society. And they're more historically accurate. And yes, there is nothing more ludicrous than a fat re-enactor waddling across a battlefield. America has not only become illiterate, it has become fat.
Hell yes them officers are fat. The Yankees starved us out in the first civil war, we aint gonna let that happen again; on film or off!
What is this? Don't think the south was anywhere near washington in 1864. They were hightailing there ass back home....
