"At Chancellorsville we gained another victory; our people were wild with delight—I, on the contrary, was more depressed than after Fredericksburg; our loss was severe, and again we gained not an inch of ground and the enemy could not be pursued." -Robert E. Lee

“He’s lost his left arm… and I have lost my right.” - Robert E Lee
-
Man, imagine that Confederate soldier shooting at who turned out to be his commander...then learning that the commander died.
-
Can't wait for future content regarding the civil war, your collaboration with epic history produced some of the best battle descriptions on the internet!
-
Tactical masterstroke. Strategically insignificant. Lee’s enduring military legacy
-
Not stressed particularly but Jackson's forced march through muddy rained bushy tracks for 10 hours, while his troopers intact enough to carry out night attack past 5pm, this shows the leader's charisma and understanding of logistics. Rebel soldiers were willing to follow Jackson to unknown territory of the slaughter (battle). Also kudos to Federal brigades fended off this surprise flanking. Both sides must be well drilled and whole heartedly believed in their cause of sacrificing their own lives.

I've been waiting for some American Civil War battles from you! This was amazing! I hope to see more like this, maybe even more from the French and Indian wars, U.S. Revolution and the War of 1812. Thank you for all that you do.
-
I can already tell that this video is going to be a masterpiece.
-
Thanks for the collaboration, I enjoyed working with yall!
-
The loss of the great Stonewall Jackson was the greatest defeat Lee could have ever suffered
-
While Jackson's flank march on May 2 is the most famous action of the entire battle, the fighting on May 3 was some of the fiercest combat of the entire Civil War. In just five hours of combat at Hazel Grove, Fairview, Marye's Heights, and Salem Church, more than 21,000 men on both sides fell killed and wounded. It ranks as the second bloodiest day in American history behind only September 17, 1862 (the Battle of Antietam Creek).

Remember watching Ken Burns epic about the civil war. And the Inferno in the woods that claimed the injured and dying, also when Grant and the Army of the Patomac returned to the woods the bleached bones of the dead could still be seen lying on the ground.
-
The Red Badge of Courage is a fictional account of the Battle of Chancellorsville described through the eyes of a Private named Henry, who finds himself become the color guard of his regiment by the end of the battle's 3rd or 4th day. We never find out what happened to Henry afterwards.

Thanks so much for doing Civil War battles! I don't hear so much about them as ancient battles, so it's good that someone is looking at them.

Let us cross over the river and rest under the shade of the trees Final words of General Thomas J Jackson

Right from the Caption to the commentary and every bit of your video is usually a topnotch. History Marche is a channel second to non. ...and for the algorithm! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thank you!
-
I honestly think second Manassas is Lee’s best campaign.
-
This is fantastic. I was recently reading up on these campaigns, thank you for bringing them to life!

Love this one, I used to live in Fredericksburg now in Richmond and just listening to this I can visualize the exact places you are talking about
