As a US Army and Vietnam veteran, I too know the taste of combat - After service I worked for the Hagerstown Police Department for a number of years and would, after work, go to down to Antietam Battle field and walk 'the lane' and the 'corn field' - often thinking about Nam and those days I would like to forget - but always thinking 'and you think you had a bad day'. Gettysburg is but a short trip from Hagerstown, MD - just across the State line a few miles. As a kid in the '50s we learn a lot about civil war in school and about the area, Williamsport, Funkstown, Boonsboro, South Mountain, Chambersburg, etc. The City of Hagerstown had several days of fighting within its limits right after Gettysburg, but it seems to had taken the late 1980s or 90s for the City to even put up a marker or two about those battles. While the City as 'tours' in the summer now, Kids seem to have little or no interest in the past, local or national. Thanks, I think, in part to our education system. At 80 years of age I see kids getting off the 'big yellow bus' - back packs on, and I ask how was school, I get a look of 'oh well', or 'Its okay' - ask what they are taking and 'the same old stuff', but if I ask about history - 'what's history'? - Who knew? But then at 10, 11, 12 or older, it's school. I really MUST thank Threads from the National Tapestry, a fine weave I might add - Thank you and yours for a very fine effort on this and the other material you present - WELL DONE!

History is not the responsibility of the schools, they don’t know what your ancestors faced during their great trials. History is instilled by the paren.

I’m 28 years old born in 1996. I visited Gettysburg as a young child and I wish I could go back because I couldn’t fully grasp it and was probably just trying to play video games. My love for history has grown tenfold. The history of our country and mankind itself is amazing.

I live in Gettysburg. The town still celebrates Remembrance Day every November. Evergreen Cemetery is a beautiful and peaceful place to walk. So often, tourists assume that the battle of Gettysburg just took place on the battlefields that surround the town. They don't realize that a lot of the battle took place in the town itself and that there are still buildings marked by bullet holes and embedded shrapnel. It is a wonderful, historic place to live.

Thank you for your excellent and extraordinarily well researched presentation. In 2009, I was teaching in an inner city Catholic grade school whose students were almost all children recently arrived from Sub-Saharan Africa. Being the bicentennial year of Mr. Lincoln's birth, the history classes were focused on him. I arrived early to take the class and discovered the teacher already had them at their assignment, which was the boys and girls standing and reciting the Gettysburg Address from memory. What astounded me was not simply their flawless recall but the reverence and gravity with which these young folk recited the words, almost as if it was sacred text and they had grasped something in the words. Something that we who were born here and grew up with the Address had missed.

Thank you. I’m at Little Round Top at this very moment as the sun is rising over the hill. It’s very sobering.

I live in Gettysburg, such an awesome place for lovers of history. The irony - my ancestors were plantation owners in Alabama, and I came up in Richmond. Nevertheless, I love my country, and I love even more going for runs along the Gettysburg battlefields. And yes, this is a VERY haunted place. Seems like everyone who lives here has a story.

@PeteChurch-tz7bk 2 дня назад

Very interesting I can't wait to get there. Been trying to get there my entire life I have heard stories about it being haunted what are your thoughts about that? Is it really haunted? So many lives are lost something's got be up there

@tylershannon6593 2 дня назад

@@PeteChurch-tz7bk it's extremely haunted. The downtown area is all townhomes that were there during the battle, and were used / people died in or around them during the battle. I haven't met one person who lives in one of those homes who hasn't had full blown apparitions appear in their houses. Granted, I've only met maybe 5-6 of them and there are a few hundred homes. Nevertheless 100% of those 5-6 have experienced it. Another very common thing is to be walking through the town or battlefield at night, and to smell gunpowder, rotting flesh, and tobacco smoke. I went to devils den at night with a spirit box and got some extremely direct answers to questions I asked. I asked how many people died here? Over the radio, in the cadence/timing of a conversation, I heard "thousands". I also asked what side did you fight for? A voice replied Union. We got some really direct answers that I can't explain any way other than a being communicated them through the radio. The most creepy reply was when we were leaving, I asked "are you near me right now?", and IMMEDIATELY, a creepy old man's voice said "yes". Something is going on in Gettysburg, if you visit, stay in the Farnsworth house. It was a confederate sniper nest on day 1. Numerous people died in there, and bodies were piled in the basement during the battle. I think most people would say it might be the most steadfastly haunted single place in the town. You can book a room and stay the night there, but be ready to experience completely unexplainable shit!

History is absolutely more than dates and places , it is the story of people and their lives.

Between 1-2 million horses and mules died in the civil war. The average life span of horse on the battle fields was 7 months

@PeteChurch-tz7bk 2 дня назад

Dam.... I did not know that about the horses that's a shitload of horses !!! Poor animals

I truly believe president Lincoln wrested with the conflict between federal power and state right but even more than that he was president of all the people in the United States and that had to be preserved at all costs I've often thought of him as a loving father that had a rebellious child that he would not give up on I truly believe if he had not been killed the restruction in the south would have been totally different may God bless America

Weekly Patriot and Union (Harrisburg, Pa.)'s reappraisal of its earlier opinion, at 33:53, is most impressive!

There's something about saying numbers have no soul that bothers me. God uses numbers to announce his existence. Numbers are the building blocks of all things not void.
