      Looking at Wikipedia, Andrew Curtin is noted to have four daughters, and only one son who died in 1857. Please correct me if this wrong. Thank you. P. S. Love you videos. 😊

    My great great uncle is buried there. Sgt. Thomas Daugherty. Company K, 19th Indiana Infantry, Iron Brigade. Killed in action on Seminary Ridge July 1st 1863. He was originally buried by Confederate soldiers in the yard of the Lutheran Seminary. One of his comrades had been wounded and captured and witnessed the burial. That gentleman was left behind when the Southern troops retreated after the battle and was able to identify the grave sight and so my uncle would later be reburied in the soldiers national cemetery.

    I was there for the 150th anniversary. I tried to recreate the photo of the person on the outside of the cemetery at the front gate. It's neat and eerie at the same time to go to the spot today. That it hasn't changed. Thanks guys. Another awesome video.

    It's amazing that the Gettysburg ceremony was actually photographed and only one photograph actually caught the president sitting down.
    That's the eye of history captured.

    My wife has family in the area and I have visited many of the battle sites. My emotions go crazy and my heart drops to the ground thinking about all the death and how that mass killing was the only way they could work out political differences. Even walking the Appalachian Trail I could still feel the sad needless death. And now so many years later humans still resort to mass killing instead of talking it out with a couple of cold beers around a fire pit.

    Thank you for sharing! My father and I visit multiple times a year. Been doing tons of research on our family history during the Civil War and have found around 25 documented ancestors who have served. It is truly incredible, and we appreciate everything you do for the community and park!

    This is brilliant. Great job. Thank you. I love this channel. Thank you for all that you do. The past few years I have been infactuated ( in a good way lol ) with The Civil War and Lincoln and the way of life at that time. I'm so grateful for the content that you guys put out. I'm a novice, but I'm determined to research and read and watch so much. I learn so much every day.

    Gettysburg is so rich in history. We live in Altoona, so only a few hrs away from there & typically come for a weekend each Fall. Looking forward to coming this year again. There's so much there that I learn something new each year.

      Afterwards? Lincoln had already embraced fascism and thrown away the constitution

    Classic ivory tower reasoning; complete with categories, deconstruction, historical guilt and the like; all leading to an inescapable conclusion: I’m smart and therefore morally superior to you and your paltry concern with the survival of your people.

  • @RandyLex-wu6jy

    The speech before was about 2 hours and nobody remembered but Lincoln just talked for a few minutes I guess it’s all about who gives the speech

    • @JoseyWales44s
      @JoseyWales44s Před 9 měsíci +1

      The main speaker, Edward Everett, later wrote Lincoln that, “I should be glad, if I could flatter myself that I came as near to the central idea of the occasion, in two hours, as you did in two minutes.”
