So being that it would have been rolled it could have just been one bullet that went through eight thicknesses of the blanket? Like I said I don't know the facts but, I must assume that he wouldn't have been standing there holding a blanket up and getting shot at? That just doesn't sound realistic.

@MrBobbybrus 3 года назад

My great great grandfather, Nelson S. Bartholomew was a trooper in the Michigan 5th Volunteer Cavalry regiment, company G under George A. Custer. Was involved in the charges on the East Cavalry Field on July 3rd, that repulsed the flanking action of J.E.B. Stuart's cavalry. He survived the war, living to the age of almost 84, dying in 1914.

@wtharris2343 2 года назад

I am a believer that it was that engagement that decided the battle. The Union position's strength was also its greatest weakness and Lee's plan was brilliant in this regard. This part of July 3 is almost always overlooked. Stuart's lack of preparedness for an engagement as he advanced, for whatever reason, is just head shakingly shocking to me. Pickett's charge was indeed doomed once Custer sent Stuart in retreat. IMHO your Grandfather played a part in perhaps the most important engagement for the preservation of the Union that day. Respects!

Since childhood I have felt that black and white photographs of historical events and places distorted the reality of the thing.

All B&W photos of the Civil War, etc. ought to be colourized as accurately as possible. Bravo to you and your team for this presentation.

@yauwohn 2 года назад

Probably 90% of photos from that era would have been in color had they had color fast dyes back then. The very first photos were all in color!!! Yes color came before B&W photography!! There are still some color positives in France that were the first photos EVER taken, sadly the dyes didn't hold up too well. Even into the mid to late 20th century, B&W was more popular than color for the very same reason. A lot of mine from the 60's are fading, but thanks to photo editing software I'm bringing them back to life.

Civil war is one of my favorite times in history .from the generals to the wagons they used ..and .the type weapons that were available to them

As a black man, there's nothing remotely exciting about that time period at all.

I got into an interesting argument with another teacher. I was educated in Pennsylvania, she in South Carolina. The Civil War wasn't about slavery she claimed. I totally disagreed with her. "It was about States Rights! I still said it was basically about slavery. She finally figured out that she would never convince me . "It was about States Rights. States Rights to keep slaves!" She finally admitted! "Exactly!" I replied! 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

@@swirvinbirds1971 5 northern states still had slavery through out the war. It wasn’t about slavery - it’s was about states rights. Abraham Lincoln made several comments about not being concerned about the future of the black man. This is why it’s important to remember true history rather than rewrite it, and learn from it.

@swirvinbirds1971 2 года назад

@@amywaltermyer4242 Yes we know. They were also the 5 states with the smallest slaveholding population. Lincoln was trying to save the union the SOUTH was breaking up over the issue of slavery. They made this abundantly clear in the secession declarations as well as in the secession debates. "Utter subjugation awaits us in the Union, if we should consent longer to remain in it. It is not a matter of choice, but of necessity. We must either submit to degradation, and to the loss of property worth four billions of money, or we must secede from the Union framed by our fathers, to secure this as well as every other species of property. For far less cause than this, our fathers separated from the Crown of England.' Secession or the loss of their slaves.

In my reading, one thing always impressed me: people today cannot grasp how truly horrible roads were back then. Taking a wagon ten miles in many places was a real days work. They would be ecstatic to experience most of our rush hour traffic, where you don't risk losing a wheel or have to get out and pull.

*Ref: **40:55* => Fact Check (Nit Pick): "These are called lunettes". She correctly states that these 'earthworks' are built in *front* of a cannon...but then mentions cannon *recoil* , and says that *lunettes* prevented cannon movement due to recoil.

It's always a magnitude greater fascination to witness. Clearer and cleaner images from back when the technology was in it's infancy like an impossible window back.
