My great great grandfather Private William Garner and my great great great uncle Private John N Garner both of the 32nd Tennessee Infantry regiment fought in this campaign
This was a great film, I really enjoyed it. It looked like a picture of the Rappahannock River at Fredericksburg when the narration was talking about the Western front around the 2:40 mark, is that correct? Growing up in Fredericksburg, I'm very familiar the battles of Fredericksburg, Chancersville, the Wilderness campaign, Spotsylvania Courthouse, etc. Thank you for the work that you do on these lesser known (to me anyway) battles of the Civil War!
@@TheRevFireman630 without Atlanta, Chattanooga, Vicksburg, Cornith, New Orleans, Memphis, Meridian,Mississippi, Nashville and etc. The Confederacy life was severed East to West, it was only matter of time the Confederacy would fall
One of the greatest campaign of the war, The battle of Atlanta, Sherman and his men brought the Western Confederate Army to it's knees. The Army of Tennessee fought so bravely against the Federal Army, I have respect to those men.
@@jamesrichardson3322 america will end up using the same strategy in the later parts of the indian wars, ww2, and the Persian Gulf war. Eisenhower was heavily influenced by General Grant and sherman just look at the allie bombings of Germany or the invasion of france
Thank you for this there isn't hardly any documentaries on General Hood. Also anyone know why General Hood wasted his men in full frontal charges? That seems completely against his character.
@@thesouthernhistorian4153 As a Union man I totally agree with you, Hood was a fool to charge head on against Federal lines. Have you been to Franklin TN and Nashville ?
@@jamesrichardson3322 I wish I could go since I live here in my beloved state of Texas but the biggest reason why I hate Hood was what he did to my ancestors who served in Granberry's Texas brigade I had 2 who served only one survived the charge at Franklin the other lost a leg and was sent to a Yankee prison camp and barely survived
Pandu Sarjsdi I am a American Civil War Federal reenactor, and it hard to get young people to get interested in the hobby. Because lack of interest in the period and the cost of getting into the hobby. Towards the end of the war in 1864 and 1865, older men started volunteering for service do it the lack your men left to fight in the war for southern states. This is somewhat period correct!!
