Years ago when I was at the Capital in Springfield, IL they had the Gettysburg Address on display and I stood there and read it written in Lincon's own hand. I can't even begin to discribe the mix of emotions I felt reading it. I say with reverence and hope what was said back during the war by my ancestors who fought for the Union. May God save the Union from our domestic traitors who would inslave those looking to be free.
Probably the best Gettysburg related RU-vid handle of all time! Congrats and well done. And as an Addressing Gettysburg regular...well that makes you legendary.
@@philphucas3663 sorry it took so long to respond! But I was trying to find a name that would poke fun at people who don’t like Sickles! I like the man he was a scoundrel, but you needed guys like him to work there type of “magic” as well!
Excellent tour. I have a book that talks about Lincoln visit Gettysburg and I have to say it goes exactly as you are describing it now I can't wait to go to Gettysburg soon.
Well done! Excellent educational video, and great example of how a walking tour communicates the information better than a driving tour. Keep up the good work!

I constantly hear about the confederate victory on the first day of the battle. It must be pointed out that it was simply a tactical victory, but a strategic loss. Gaining the town but losing the heights eventually causes them to lose the battle. This victory and the victory at Vicksburg, will make the ultimate Union victory a forgone conclusion.
