I'm stationed on Fort Lee and have been binging all of these videos. They are absolutely brilliant.

We lived a few miles West of Petersburg for 20 years, drove past this house many, many times, did not know it's significance. Thanks again guys!

Wondering how much peeking through the curtains was going on. Having Grant and President Lincoln setting on your front porch

You can stay overnight in this house. Owners use it as an AirBnB, I’m told.

If the porch has the same shape as in 1865 the two must have sat in the round area to the left.

Now that the series on Petersburg is wrapped up, are you going to release a map summary video like the other battles?

@tumbleweedweed3691 3 года назад

Hope they fixed the porch-top part was rotting away many months ago

@auditoneusa747 3 года назад

Watching this video and listening to the story being told I can picture it happening and I imagine myself standing on the sidewalk back in 1864 watching our President climb down from his horse.

@dennis2376 3 года назад

It now makes sense why Grant gave so generous terms. The one question I have is did Lee end the confederacy or did Jefferson Davis as an country? (I know that Lee surrendered his army but what effect did that really have?)

@matthewmiller9526 3 года назад

I think the effect was psychological on the people of the South. At that point Lee was the epitome of the Confederacy, he was the Confederacy and his surrender and his decision not to make it into a guerrilla war was what allowed the US to become the dominant nation it has become.

The only part of the Lincoln movie that did not fit the historical place was there interpretation of the Lincoln and Grant meeting.

@lesterscates774 3 года назад

Gee. I thought Meade was commander of the Army of the Potomac and it was his responsibility to pursue General Lee.

@jamesleathers5488 3 года назад

Grant was in command of all U.S, Armies as of March of 1864. So Meade was his subordinate.
