- Lee Chapel and Museum presents Remembering Robert E. Lee with a speech by noted author and Civil War historian Frank A. O'Reilly on Monday, Oct. 14, at 12:15 p.m. in the Lee Chapel Auditorium. The title of O'Reilly's talk is "Adapt, Improvise, and Overcome: Robert E. Lee's Greatest Victory at Chancellorsville." O'Reilly will talk about the battle of Chancellorsville from Lee's point of view as it is usually presented from Stonewall Jackson's point of view.
Mr. O'Reilly is a profound speaker, master historian and the man who can convey us into the past and show us its relevance today in our everyday lives. This event and the work of Mr. O'Reilly needs more exposure. This was a master class in history and historic story telling.
This is one of the most excellent speeches given on the genius and audacity of the courageous general Lee.
Excellent presentation. Inspiring, polished, dignified, and very engaging. Lee continues to inspire in spite of his many detractors today.
Now that was a mesmerizing presentation
I have just listened to Mr O'Reilly's description of the last days of General Jackson. I am not an American but I was very moved by his empathy. I felt as if I was in the room during the General's passing. Thank You.
I have done reenactments in the past,in the Trans-Mississippi dept. west of the river of the same name.
I have only been at one reenactment in the East,2008 Gettysburg.
The 145th anniversary of the battle @ Gettysburg.
I have seen people and heard their foreign languages.
I have always wondered why people of other countries would even be interested in our problems between 1861-65.
DEO VINDICE
A wonderful presentation.
This was wonderful. Thank you, Mr. Frank O'Reilly. God bless Robert E. Lee.
Me and My Dad had the privilege of meeting Mr. O’Reilly two weeks ago at the Stonewall Jackson Death Site. He was very welcoming and friendly with a great knowledge of the events that took place. It made you feel like you were right there as the events unfolded.
wow are you saying God bless the inhumane treatment of Africans in the USA. The rapes, lynchings, whippings, setting Africans on Fire. Terrorist Lee beat Africans for the letters of the Alphabet among other things and poured salt on African's wounds.
@@gospelpopmusic Exactly
Savage!
So who are the seven generals killed or wounded while commanding an army during the war? I can think of the following:
1. Joseph Hooker, Army of the Potomac, Chancellorsville
2. James B. McPherson, Army of the Tennessee, at Atlanta
3. Albert Sidney Johnston, Army of Mississippi, Shiloh
4. Joseph E. Johnston, Army of Northern Virginia, Seven Pines
Who am I missing?
@Rick NICHOL Albert Sydney Johnston was mortally wounded at Shiloh and died on the field. You're thinking of Joe Johnston, who was wounded at Seven Pines. Just sayin...
@Rick NICHOL um yeah gen sydney johnson was killed at Shiloh
Chancellorsville was not Lee's greatest victory, because all the Confederates did was to push back the AotP; it was merely his most startling one. Fredericksburg was Lee's greatest victory, because the AoNV held it's ground and inflicted over twice as many casualties on the AotP- which is the kind of thing that the Confederates needed to do to have any realistic chance of victory.
ManilaJohn01 Lee was ALWAYS frustrated with his commanders failing to follow up and destroy the O of P. They forever got away!
Lee was a traitor to the country. He believed in slavery as a necessity. Why he was pardoned and Jefferson Davis wasin prison I don’t understand. I have no admiration for him
Mary, you obviously have no comprehension of why the Civil War began or what is was that caused it. Spend some time learning before you comment.
@@marymoriarity2555 Apparently you are from north of the Mason-Dixon line.
@@marymoriarity2555 May you be judged as harshly and ignorantly 150 years from now as you have judged others.
WHY DONT YOU TALK ABOUT HOW CRUEL LEE WAS TO THE SLAVES ???
Yeah like building them a school
Its not even his slave
@@aldrinmilespartosa1578
Where did LEE BUILD A SCHOOL FOR BLACKS ???
you must be one of those coward pajama boys that is only brave when you can knock down a statue that cant fight back why dont you go find a college safe space to hide in and get out of your parents basement you spoiled punk
Gen Lee terroized African enslaved and poured salt on their wounds.
I see lots of CSA deadenders just wishing they could have created a slave based country on the north american continent and disappointed that they failed the first time.
There were slave states fighting on both sides. Lee did not choose virginia because he wanted to end slavery or keep slaves....literally every primary source we have confirms this. He saw his loyalty to Virginia as superior than his loyalty to The US. He was against secession and the war itself....Once the war began he did his duty as a Virginian
Liberals ruin everything
@@adampender2482 Cultists ruin everything.
Liberalism is a cult. A cult of death and sexual deviancy.
What type of weird fetish cult this is. Give talks about a man in that man's tomb. This is f'ed up.
Happens all the Time for numerous individuals
@@Ao-pj1mc Who else?
What type of fetish cult says men can get pregnant and have babies or abortions?
@@adampender2482 Yes, you are right. If there is a cult claiming what you wrote then these two fetish cults are similar.
