This movie provides a 30-minute introduction to the Battle of Gettysburg's climatic action (the repulse of Pickett's Charge), told from the perspective of the soldiers who fought the battle. It was filmed on a farm in western Maryland, and there are no stars or even familiar faces among the actors.
"Fields of Freedom," was produced for the Gateway Center in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, debuting on a newly constructed, nearly IMAX sized screen for visitors to the historic Gettysburg National Military Park in March of 2006. While a film of several hours would be necessary to cover the many excruciating days of the entire battle, the thirty minutes of Fields of Freedom concentrates on the experiences of two specific soldiers involved on each side of Pickett's Charge, arguably the most disastrous climax of the battle. The technical aspects of the production high with considerable attention given to the visual and aural effects for the explosive battle scenes. No expense was spared with the score by master Trevor Jones either.
Directed by David de Vries and Produced by Seth Eisler. For education, entertainment, enlightenment and inspiration. We hope you enjoy and even learn something. Never forget!

Outstanding film. I participated in the 145th in 2008 and took part in Pickett's Charge. It was an experience I will never forget. At least 3 of my ancestors were in the charge as part of Company D, 52nd North Carolina Infantry. One was captured, one was wounded and captured and one made it back to Seminary Ridge only to be captured on July 14 at Falling Waters.

Superb 30-minute overview of the battle and quite realistic. To see the battlefield afterward undoubtedly stripped every last ounce of ego and pride out of the surviving combatants and filled them with humility beyond human comprehension. 50-53,000 American men dead and injured in just 3 days of battle.

@jeffmilroy9345 Год назад

You can not really blame the yanks or the rebs since this is primarily a legal question. Sure the Yankee fire eaters pushed for abolition and elected Lincoln which obviously would eventually lead to an unconstitutional federal "taking" of property (slaves) without financial compensation - but that train was in motion since the Constitution was ratified by the original 13 states without a clear resolution to the slavery question. The time to resolve that issue was decades before. If it had to be settled then the constitution initiative may have failed. You cannot "take" the labor force for such a large region without compensation - it's too hard to simply sweep under the political rug. In addition, if it was not for the invention of the cotton gin afterward this would have been a terrible disaster socially and financially. The south knew it - the North refused to acknowledge it. The fight was on and the only resolution was to force an unconditional surrender mandated by the North. There would be a fight to the death (500,000 casualties) and no clear winner, As a society we are still paying today.

@simpilot8508 Год назад

Its easy for us when we have 160 years to figure this out.

@fredhall5038 Год назад

I believe that was General Hood’s plan on Day 2 but it was not approved. I also believe Lee’s err was I not realizing that the Union defensive line was six miles long and covered my 80,000 troops to Lee’s 68,000 or so. Also, the Union guns outnumbered the South’s by 4 to 1. It is believed that if the Union had been pushed off Round Top on Day 2 they could still have retreated to an even more imposing site some twenty miles south. But that is all conjecture. It is also interesting to wonder what Pickett’s troops could have achieved had they been onsite on Day 2. Picketts 11-14000 men might have made a shift around to the ‘right’ quite interesting. But that is war, ifs and buts don’t count.

@benthomson9397 Год назад

A question for Civil War history buffs...why did Lee decide to march past Washington D.C and go 65 miles north of D.C to engage the Union troops at Gettysburg, why not lay siege to D.C..seems he could have gotten some major concessions from the North if he had.

@FreQuese Год назад

DC was an extremely fortified city at the time due to Lincoln not giving it up so easily, so a siege on DC was virtually impossible due to demographic and resource/man power issues. I think their only shot on taking DC was right after the Bull Run since the Union was kinda disorganized at that point and wasn't fortified. Lee was always outnumbered in manpower and he knew a siege on DC would have been a disaster and probably a huge turning point in the war for the Union to win.

@fredhall5038 Год назад

Lee was headed for Harrisburg which was the East/West railroad supply line for the Union. Cut that line and the West and East might wither on the vine so to speak. Jeb Stuart understood that which is why he headed there first but had to cut his mission short to return to Gettysburg. Lee’s foot soldiers were strung out from Gettysburg north to Carlial(?) and on day one of the battle had to turn about and March back south. That was twenty miles for some and if you have travelled those hills in 90 degree heat you would appreciate the effort those men made. The Union Calvary saved the bacon for the North on Day 1 as they faced a Confederate assault that never was supposed to have happened. Brave men on both sides.

A cease fire and political resolution of the underlying issue would have made so much more sense. Lincoln not only could have suffered a huge defeat at this battle (and ultimate defeat at the ballot box) but also doomed us all as a society to endless societal conflict when the charge failed.

On that terrible 3rd day of battle, 250 Rebels proceeded up Cemetary Ridge, the only ones to make it that far. Union forces did not break nor was there any need for a rally. They poured deadly fire upon the advancing rebel army inflicting casualty rates of up to 40% on that day. The true heroes of the Battle were the boys in Blue who did not waver and retained the integrity and honor of the Army of the Potomac. Sending the rebel army back to Virginia where it would remain until it surrendered.

Though the final outcome would take another day, the brave men of the 1st Minnesota rose as one and charged the 5,000 men from Alabama on day 2 buying precious time for General Hancock to bring in reinforcements to plug the gap in the Union lines. They would sustain the highest percentage of casualties in the entire war but their willingness to face overwhelming odds saved the day for the Army of the Potomac.

@jeep146 Год назад

The bottom line the south is not fighting for homes or rights. Slavery is the thing that fuels the south. The slaves were imported to work the crops which generated most of the income. By allowing slavery to continue when the constitution was voted on it was done only because the South would not vote otherwise. The civil war or war of the rebellion was the price paid in blood because of it. On a side note the reason the Confederate Cannons over shot was due to defective fuses made in the south. They took longer time to ignite the powered and they did not know it at the time. I also really doubt you would find a battle flag three days after on the field. Those were prized if captured.

@ronjohnson4184 Год назад

On their march north, the Army of Northern Virginia rounded up every black person they found (free or runaway) and sent them all back south. Yeah, it wasn't about slavery. Plantation owner's sons were exempt from the draft. Desertion among southern troops far exceeded desertions from northern troops. Because of no centralized government, millions of tons of cotton were grown instead of crops. Southern troops and in some areas, citizens were near starving. Georgia had a surplus of food but there was no authority from the government to use it. The Richmond plant building rifles for the entire war only mads enough rifles to equal just a month's production in Connecticut. The sad part is, tens of thousands of southern men were bamboozled into fighting a war for a small southern aristocracy which is why the revolution was fought in the first place. Gettysburg is where a general finally decided to hold the line and showed everyone that Lee wasn't invincible. Lee never recovered because from that point on, he was facing a new general in the east more aggressive and determined than himself. Grant.
