@@M0t0Daddy I always teach My Lai. It's a dark part of US History that has to be taught.
I’m an actor in this and that makes me incredibly happy to hear.

I’m an actor in this and there actually was no camera man probably 90% of the time. The camera was a large plexiglass sphere that would be placed in the middle of the scene. Crew would yell “CLEAR THE SPHERE” and find cover. Then after about a minute yell action. It was a wild experience as an actor.

It's an idea that will probably be done at some point, but the issue is allowing free movement of the camera goes against the whole idea of cinema. You would have to force the viewer to look at certain directions.

E McK fear-mongering about ethnic groups and looking down on people who find success sounds like anti-American propaganda, the type of thing peddled by capitalism hating communists/fascists
@E McK Well the problem seems to be, Jewish parents learn their children to tie shoes. Follow the example...
I give respect to all those men who fought, along with all the women who helped. Although this tragic war was very deadly it helped the future of America. RIP to the many people who died in this tragic war.

Yea I felt like I was always missing something when I was looking in the "wrong" direction.
Agreed. It is fantastic though.
Sean Dahl and make the words easier to read. Most of it was blurry but other than that I loved this version of the civil war

Lost 2 relatives in that war. Eleazer Moore and his son Lewis G. Moore. Both enlisted in Maine in late 1861. Both taken prisoner in 1864. Both died in captivity. Lewis, of the 1st Maine Cavalry, volunteered for Dahlgren's Raid on Richmond. Captured and died at Andersonville, his body is in an unmarked grave. Eleazer fought with the 30th Maine Infantry during the Red River Campaign in Louisiana. He probably walked across the dead line so he could die on the anniversary of his wife's death...June, 16. She died as a result of giving birth to Lewis, June 16, 1842.
Thank you for sharing!

This was unexpectedly the coolest youtube video I’ve ever saw. Why isn’t all history taught this way?
i think its because teachers are more focused on the politics and the causes and effects of what happened during the war rather than any battlefield tactics or what life was like. well thats my how teacher is teaching us, and i dont know about other teachers though
Because this is a massive project
More than likely because this video cost thousands of dollars to make probably
Wow. This is my first time experiencing a virtual video on RUclips. Awesome
Wow, amazing perspective. Great job!
Wow, this brings home some of the hard reality that doesn't always come through when reading books or visiting a battle field on a sunny summer afternoon. For the soldiers it wasn't about generals and flags and where this or that regiment stood. It was killing and death. They were trapped in a dirty, brutal horror story come to life.
Yea. More often then not some of the citizen soldiers ended up fighting due to the battle being brought to their families land. At that point is was no longer about political leanings or racial concerns, it was being told this or that army was on their way and your land (the only thing you had) was about to be forfeit. The politics are always taught in school. The human reality never is. Go to battle ground sites , read some of the recovered letters, read the markers of what actually happened.
@@dondavi5798 Most importantly read what the veterans themselves said of the carnage.
The only real truth about war is that it's either *you or the other man* on the end of your rifle.
You kill him before he kills you.
And when the bullets stop flying we're all human again.
Like at Sharpsburg at the "bloody lane" when a Confederate soldier who was wounded in his leg had a dead man laying on it.
A passing Union soldier knocked the dead man off of his leg.
Or at Gettysburg when a Union Soldier picked up a bird nest that had fallen out of a tree due to shell fire and put it back.
Stories like this matter, videos like this matter.
@@JohnnyReb Yup,I know someone directly related to "The Angel of Marye's Heights" at the Battle of Fredricksburg. I've been to many a battle field. Have family in Fredricksburg, live in the Carolinas and spend a lot of time in Georgia. It's madening sometimes the very Cliff Noted version people are taught in school.
Took my daughters in 2010 to the Bentonville Battlefield where the Jr Army was all that was left to face down the Real opposing army. Had them think on the idea of todays generations having that kind of conviction, courage, or maturity to stand against that kind of tide. The site that is the main hub is in fact a family farm turned hospital. A lot of skirmishes and fierce battles went on in that area.
Just wait until we get Star Trek Hollow decks are the games from sword art online

There needs to be more of these.
Denis Prašnički
I agree for like every thing
True, however this is the American Battlefield Trust. They preserve battlefields in the United States, so dont expect to see anything like the battle of Stalingrad here.
If they make more they'll likely do more US Civil war, then some American Revolution, French and Indian War (7 Years War), War Of 1812, Mexican-American War, maybe Spanish American war and then possibly some indian wars. If they do cover anything outside of American Soil expect it to be only Battles and wars Americans or American/British Colonists participated in.

It is a good effort, but film quality sucks ! 60% of the film, or more, was out of focus and fuzzy. The reenactors I thought were high quality and authentically attired/uniformed. I did reenacting for 45 years, (1 1/2 years as a yankee 1861 US Marine Det.,U.S.S. "Hartford", and 43 1/2 years in seven different Confederate units). I got back from Vietnam and 4 years as a 0311 in June,1970, and in Sept., 1970 was in my first Civil War skirmish ~ went from a '69-'70 Nam Marine to an 1861 Marine in 3 months. From firing 5.56mm rounds from a M-16 at Communist VC & NVA, to firing (blank) rounds from a .58 caliber single shot "Zouave" Rifle Musket. Quite an experience ! LOVED IT !
Can I have some.....wow outerspace

I feel like im playing a video game while watching this video in 360 degree love this video❤❤
I grew up near Petersburg, VA. The whole area around there was a battlefield. When I was a kid I heard about the war from the old timers who heard about it when they were kids from their grandparents who lived it. Many of the old farm houses in our neighborhood still bear the scars of that war. The old house on the farm across the road the road from our farm was a hospital. The floor in one of the front rooms was completely stained with blood. The old Slovak farmer who lived there rolled the carpet up once and showed it to me. He said the people his parents bought the place from in the 1890s when they came here from the old country said that room was where they did the amputations. The old farmer swore the place was haunted.
Basically all of Virginia is haunted like no other. I don’t really even think anywhere else but Gettysburg and New England can compete with the level of historical energy and sorrow present in those regions. Gettysburg is by far the most compelling place ever. If you don’t believe in ghosts, go to Gettysburg and around on a slow day. .
We are only 3 well placed handshakes away from people who lived through the civil war
@Trevor N...what a story. My favorite Civil War photographer is A J Russell, who took the most publicized photo of the 19th century..."The Wedding of the Rails" at Promontory Summit, UT. AJ was also a war photographer....the only one in the Union Army. There are well-publicized works' of his available. Thanks for your well-written response. 🙂
I live a few minutes outside of Gettysburg, PA. A handful of times driving through the battlefield at night, I've seen things..

There were more than the history books would like you to believe, there were even entire free black units with black officers. One such that I can think of was formed in Louisiana by black volunteers; can't remember the unit size but I think it was more in line with a regiment or division.
Bruh I'm Mexican, I'm not even supposed to be in US soil lmaoo
@@weirdsearchhistory5876 I know that if you were a black soldier in the Civil War if you were fighting alongside white soldier (which was already unlikely) you'd more than like be on the Union side. Ik it was more common than we were all taught I'm not disagreeing with you but you've got to put it into context
@@TauCu Do you not know what the civil war was about? (it was about the south being opposed to not being able to keep black people as slaves anymore. It was even in South Carolina's declaration of secession.) So that argument really doesn't apply here.
That was incredible. Well done.
Sadly they forgot to credit Democrats for the inspiration to bring us that beloved 600 K. death war, sadly all Dem's & Lib's get to kill is 70 million babies, but God bless em they do love killing! Best demonstrating, Romans 6:23, "Death is the wages of Sin". But who are we to judge death, Right? With all that death shouldn't Death & Democrats be synonym's?
well made. no war, only peace
4:01; lieutenants and captains are called company grade officers; majors, lieutenant colonels and (full) colonels are called field grade officers; brigadier, Major, lieutenant and general are all called flag officers. They get this moniker because they actually have flags.

Good sound design too. Would have liked the distant battle to be a bit more spread troughout the environments but other than that this is great stuff and actually quite believable!
thank u for sharing the knowing ..
I always found the story of the veteran Yankee soldier that had been shot in the leg, had it amputated, and was playing cards right after he'd awakened from the surgery like no big thing morbid, and funny in a way only veterans would understand. A hospital orderly went by pushing a wheelbarrow full of amputated arms and legs and the soldier stopped him, saying he'd like to see his leg one last time so he started rummaging through the grisly pile until he found his leg with a distinguishing bunion on it. He said his farewell to it and went right back to playing cards and smoking his pipe.
After 4 years of war the survivors were a very hard set of men that could endure whatever was thrown at them. I couldn't imagine marching 30 miles a day in Southern heat wearing wool uniforms while living on coffee, tainted water and wormy hardtack.
Glad I missed it.
Which is exactly why I have the upmost respect for both sides.
@@JohnnyReb I've read many times the ordinary soldiers wished they could quit fighting and make the politicians that started the whole thing fight it out. Right after Lee's surrender a Union soldier visited a Rebel camp and said he was treated like a brother there-mutual respect.
@@tomservo5347 That war was very strange in many ways.
I've read that at Cold Harbor in 1864 a Union color barer was advancing toward the rebel line so calmly as if he was on dress parade.
When suddenly the Confederates started telling him "Go back! Go back!"
Apparently he looked around and noticed his unit was all behind him cut to pieces, dead or wounded.
The color barer halted in front of the Confederate earthworks made a hand salute with his flag before smartly turning on his heel and returning to his own lines.
There are so many stories like this.
I find the amount of respect they had for each other to be completely inspiring.
@@JohnnyReb Yea, that was a good story. They were really the same set of men-same country, religion, history.
Confederate Sam Watkins wrote about how while foraging for food he ran into a Yankee-and they both decided shooting each other wouldn't change anything so they both raided an abandoned house together.
Another time an old cabin was in between picket lines. Both sides used it as it was winter and they made an agreement to keep the firewood stocked and a nice fire going in the fireplace before they left and the other side took over.
Another one was the Confederates that invited some Yankees over to a dance they were having and gave them their word they'd be safe. A Confederate officer showed up hearing the commotion, saw the Yankees and ordered them arrested-to which his men pleaded that they had given their word of honor to their 'guests' they'd be safe. The officer relented, gave them the 'don't do it again' speech and let them finish their dance.
The Confederates got so good at quickly digging trenches that one Union general exclaimed, "the rebels must pick them up and carry them with them."
makes sense, traitors throwing away their lives for a doomed rebellion based on the interests of racist plantation owners would become the best at digging holes
Now I've heard that quote somewhere before...
But for the life of me I can't remember where!
@@magneto44
All I'm going to say is racism was an everywhere thing in those days.
The men fighting for the union where as racist as their rebel counterparts.
Even Lincoln himself.
Johnny Reb except one side expressly stated in their state constitutions that they were seceding to defend slavery, and the other side forced them to give up their slaves after the war. Doesn’t sound like the two sides were the same to me
@@IamtheNeptune
In their state Constitutions?
I believe you're talking about the "Declarations Of Causes" which interestingly enough weren't written by the state legislators of the states that did write an "Article of Secession/Declaration of Causes" but rather by a political minority who lost power after the events at Fort Sumter.
Not all states that left the union by secession wrote one of those documents.
Governor John W. Ellis. Governor of North Carolina had this to say.
www.loc.gov/item/rbpe.13501200/
Also the United States government was not fighting to free the slaves as per the Crittenden-Johnson Resolutions.

No war as grim as a Civil War. This was really well done. I'm a Brit but the U.S Civil War remains my favourite period to study, I just find it endlessly fascinating. The first literate war, with all the letters written home providing an incredible record. The astonishing personalities involved, from 'Old Blue Light' Stonewall Jackson to the frankly bizarre Daniel Sickles. I had the honour and the pleasure of photographing over a year UK reenactors of the US Civil War (I was embedded :) in the Union lines with the 18th Missouri), and eventually of visiting the battlefields of Gettysburg and Perryville. So strange that Europe sent so many military observers, and learned absolutely nothing about the awful nature of industrialised warfare for when WWI rolled around. Thank you the American Battlefield Trust for keeping history alive.
Good point about the observers and WW I. Seems all they learned was how to take the carnage to the next level.
Though, you could also argue that the US didn't learn anything from the Crimean War, where we had notable observers. The start of earthen fortifications to combat rifled artillery, first rapid fire weapons, trench warfare. I suppose there's always an earlier war we should've learned from, but the message tends to be more about how to kill more people faster than how to avoid the conflict all together...
Nah, they didn't have mustard gas and agent orange back then so it wasn't the most grim.
The sound is pretty badass besides the whole cell phone notification beeping lmao...Some of the gunshots and explosions sound awesome...You can ever hear them whistling past them...Awesome.
good thing you can ignore it and keep watching ... LMAO ... but why not mention it, humor, am i right LOL
This was amazing
Also want to say, this is a great way to make history relevant to the youngest generation. Good work, guys.
As a Civil War Reenactor I've got to say this is amazing and really gives a better perspective in the modern era of what late-war battlefields had evolved into

What? Late-War battles? Robert E. Lee was called the King of Spades in 1862 because of how often he dug eathworks and trenches. Trench warfare didn't magically start towards the war's end. There were very extensive trenches while Gettysburg was going on, at Vicksburg.
@@SStupendous But these earlier trenches not part of almost static siege type war fair with trench lines on both side in contact constantly with the enemy. Especially different the siege guns employed. Vicksburg's defenses were not opposite a union line of defenses instead made ready for a union assault that finally came but that did not turn into months of stalemate like the late war.
This was full on WWI style static lines against each other something the world had not really seen on this scale and the death of successful mass charges in many cases as cannons by this period fired often shells made of paper that worked like later metal clad shells with fragmentation material surrounding an explosive charge with a fuse to detonate or impact fuse.
With the much greater accuracy of the rifle charges got way more deadly when combined with the much better late cannon use which also had sights carried by the gunner put on to aim then took off to fire.
@@RedRocket4000 I get what you're saying now. I thought you were doing what many do, say that trench warfare only started in the final campaigns of the war - which of course isn't correct.
@@RedRocket4000 What... "Shells made of paper".... give me one example of that? Shells from this period, elongated, iron, steel or brass-covered projectiles.
WOW! It was almost like being there in battle!
This was an amazing watch thanks
Nobody:
The camera guy:
Yo what’s up guys I’m coming back at you with another video and this one is a banger!
Ha
Omg this reminds me of my 8th grade history teacher, when he tought the civil war he would legit get very emotional. Just something about him always had me engaged.
It's the most emotional and devisive war in America's history, God bless the Confederacy!
I had a teacher at FIU who had a relative fight for Confederacy at famous battle of the blowing up of the Confederate lines (The largest one up to that time in military history). Hi was the only member of the Louisiana regiment who was not there when the explosion
@@rebelsoul5980 God bless the union , you racist Democrat
Loved it, oh wow those were the days 😢🙏🙏
I never knew cannon balls exploded
The ones packed with powder could.
Later cannon balls did explode. It started in the 1850s with The Crimera War. Before that War, cannon balls just went far impacting people/objects but NOT exploding.
@@Sean12248 While often seen in movies, the exploding variety was less common than solid round shot made of stone or cast iron, due to difficulty in timing the explosion and impact. They do not explode on impact as seen here, but the later ones had timed fuses if they had a explosive fill. I suppose non exploding cannonballs are very boring visually when telling historical facts. Never let the truth get in the way of a good story
@@terry_willis Nup, not on impact as they didn't have impact fuses
Explosive ordnance was pretty common by the time the American Civil War rolled around.
just wow, how impressive these scenes were, and they gave you the option to look around for yourself, absolutely amazing well done!
Usually during civil war, frostbite,trenchfoot & gangrene was common .
Lots of soldiers from both sides would get trenchfoot and sometimes it caused death .
I have one of those vr boxes that you put your phone in this is perfect
By the start of the war in 1861 they were fighting a Napoleonic Type War, by the end in 1964 they were fighting WWI literally. That is the most shocking transformation of war in such a short time.
Yes the civil war was infact 103 years long
OH MY GOD, how could I miss type a century about the Civil War, sorry my bad.
Nah, it was still napoleonic combat just with trenches. They didn't have bolt action rifles and machine guns, so it wasn't actually that similar. just trenches and keeping your head down.
Yea that is quite weird when you think about it, it was like the beta for the great war
It seems that each war usually anticipates and sets the template for the next one. The American civil war brought forth new industrial technologies(submarines, iron ships, rapid/multiple fire weapons, mines, trench warfare....etc) that would become standards of World War 1. World War 1 adapted and introduced new technologies(airplanes, tanks, flamethrowers, wireless communication,..etc...and soon, aircraft carriers) on top of the vastly improved and expanded weapons that came out of the civil war. By the end of World War 1, the tactics of using combined, interlocking air, armor & infantry on the battlefield set the template for World War 2, and so on.
WAY cool, folks! Thanks so much for sharing this extraordinary technology.

Hahahah took me a while to figure how to watch this. Thanks for sharing
yo bro, really thankya. Big respect
I don’t know why but I felt the fear in his voice when he was carried away.
Can you post a timestamp?
Right at the end
10:34 the scene starts
Of course he's in fear, his leg is going to get amputated. Don't you hear others screaming inside.
Amputations back in them ol' days ain't so fun
Gotta saw em up or sometimes chop em, rather than usin some sort of anesthetic
There are time that even wounded soldiers even look at them limbs getting cut off. Not a pleasant experience, I tell you that
I'm gettin r/wooshed am I?
Amazing. I was totally immersed in the experience. You really feel like you're peaking in on history. Well done!
this is freaking rad
That is pretty much the coolest thing I’ve seen on any UT video

@@bloba4443 Thanks, I thought it was already.
@@AmericanBattlefieldTrust are these real guns? Cus i didnt anyone to actually die, home their just airsoft guns
I'm sure many blacks appreciate the fact that over 300,000 white Americans died to help free them. BLM won't appreciate it but most blacks do I bet

Hey ABFT please put a warning on this and future experiences about potential phantom sense triggers: the smell of rotting flesh made me vomit,.. yes there is a science behind why that happened, often called “phantom sense/phantom limb/VRSense” it develops when someone who has spent time in vr mixes reality with fiction because their brains aren’t able to identify their actual bodies,(brain sees hand in game even if not the persons actual hand your brain tricks you to believe it is.)This works with all 5 senses.which is why it’s important to note that some more seasoned VR users may find this experience appalling.
It took me a few scenes to realize the viewpoint could be adjusted. This definitely compounds the depth of the experience with confusion if not panic as to what was going on all around in a situation over which you have little if any control.
