He died at age 94 in 1914... imagine living for another 51 years with 1 leg. Looks like life memed him right back
BRITISH MAN COLONIZE if there was someone like that, That would be quite scary, well disciplined and is able to take quite amazing risk and come out on top
And I imagine late 1800s - early 1900s America wasn’t very wheelchair friendly
@BRITISH MAN COLONIZE Actually no, he died only a month before Franz Ferdinand's assassination.
Lived through 1 world changing war and died the year another started. I say that as a Brit btw.
Nah. He did well for himself. Had three kids, served as a congressman, retired in 1869 with the rank of Major General, served as minstre to Spain and was rewarded the medal of honor. A fulfilled life, I'd say.
Later in his life they asked him why so many generals had been cast into statues and monuments at Gettysburg and why he didn’t have one. To which he replied “The whole damn battlefield is a monument to me.”
I wish to god I could believe in myself like Sickles believed in himself
Shit man that’s wit that’ll take a man where he wants
Well, that ending was very interesting... and abrupt

@@VunderGuy The hell was this comment? Are you really that triggered by jokes about Trump?
@@VunderGuy when you're so defensive about your shitty candidate you write a paragraph about a joke.
Having been to Gettysburg, I come to the conclusion that Sickle chose the peach orchard because it had a better field of fire than the segment of the line he was originally supposed to defend, which was uneven and would have allowed the Confederates to advance fairly closely before they could target them with a significant amount of small arms fire.
That being said, Sickles deprived himself of artillery support from Little Rountop and quick access to reserves by moving so far away from the main line. By isolating himself, he became the perfect target for a Confederate assault.
Having studied this battle since I was about six years old, I believe you're correct.
I mean even if that's true, I think the losses speak for themselves
Maybe, but putting himself in the Peach orchard gave the Confederate artillery the ability to ass pound his corps with zero counter battery fire from Big and Little Round top. The Union had an absolutely bananas artillery advantage at Gettysburg and Sickles pissed that away because he hated Meade, and a lot of Union men died in a hail of cannon fire for no other reason than "fuck you boss I'ma do what I want".
I agree 100% other than the fact LRT wasn’t a very good artillery position.
I'm pretty sure that he just forgot his infinity gauntlet and he couldn't use his pre thought out strategy of click-click yeety.

@@B0BBARKER444 Maybe they didn't do anything because he lost his leg and thought he was either going to be dead or out of action and therefore no longer a threat.
The way Ive looked at it is that that crazy fucker accidentally threw a massive monkey wrench into the Confederate plans for the day. He basically stumbled into disrupting the coordinated attacks on the union flanks .

I'm beginning to think that Raid Shadow Legends sponsored both sides in the Civil war to boost their publicity chances.
I remember hearing about this dude when I toured Gettysburg. 10/10, would perform stupid tactical manoeuvers out of spite again.
This has only convinced me Sickles single handedly won Gettysburg by blundering so hard on the flank it convinced Lee to attempt Pickett’s charge on the center
My 4th great-uncle fought for the Confederacy... with the Artillery... he was part of the company that was firing at the Union troops in the battle Sickles lost his leg.
Crazy to think that cannon might have been fired by my bloodline.
You know after hearing the story about the way men like Dan Sickles got a high military rank and the reason he just decided to disobey the order the fact that General Lee won so many battles doesn't sound that impressive.
It doesn't take a military genius when you are a commander with experience and you are fighting ex politicians and\or people that just do what they want for the memes.
Yeah. Although he was a genius, it's just that this broke-dick enemy he was up against in the early years made his genius even more apparent.
It's like beating up on the Italians in the World Wars. When so many of their generals are nobility failsons who crack at the first sign of danger, no amount of bravery from their troops is going to save them.
PH missed out that Sickles saw the ground in front of him as higher and after Lee won many battles with the high ground, Sickles became obsessed with it.
@@alex_zetsu he was ordered off high ground at Chancellorsville that was used as a artillery platform for the Confederate army. The Union forces and his corps suffered greatly for this. He also proposed attacking elements of Jackson's flank attack that he believed to be retreating Confederates. If his advice would have been followed the battle would probably have turned out differently.
@@alex_zetsu so he's the basis for Obi-wan Kenobi?

I'm glad Dan Sickles gets some attention, the guy was character. In March 1864 he wrote an anonymous letter to the Newspaper under the name "Historicus" and defended his actions at Gettysburg. He referred to himself in 3rd person and its hilarious, everyone should read it. People like General Meade and General Barnes responded it to with their own letters and Sickles responded to those. The dude even made it to the 50th reunion of the Battle in 1913. At Chancellorsville, 2 months prior, the Confederates took high ground put their artillery up there and badly hurt his Corps. Its still unknown if he was instructed to be on Little Round Top or not. The area he was given originally (north of little round top) was not good for Artillery. The peach orchard offered a little higher terrain for his guns, he was afraid the Confederates would use it to bombarded his troops again. That was one of his reasons for moving forward. General Longstreet would later credit him for doing this, I'm sure that inflated his ego even more, haha.

“Come on guys, let’s go see my leg! It’ll be awesome!” -Daniel Sickles probably
Raid shadow legends is seeping into every section of the universe. Soon we will be characters in raid shadow legends.
Here is a great story from Sickles later in life. He returned to Congress and was influential in passing bills through Congress that would help preserve the Gettysburg battlefield. At this point people began to start putting moments on the battlefield and the third corps monument was supposed to have a bust of Sickles in it but the money that was raised for it was stolen (some people think that he actually took it). The third corps monument to this day still has no bust of him in it. When a reporter asked him if he was upset about not getting a moment on the battlefield he responded with "son this whole damn battlefield is my monument".
One of my ancestors was a captain in the civil war, and his older brother was a major in one of Dan’s regiments. He resigned a couple months before Gettysburg, and he previous regiment got mauled at Gettysburg. 60% casualty rate and every officer over the rank of Lieutenant killer or wounded. He literally dodged a bulletz
The “yeetfield” of Gettysburg??? 😂😂😂😂 I almost spit my coffee out when I saw that one.
In modern terms, it's called "diminished compacity" and not considered a viable defence in modern juris prudence.

Leo Major
Land on Normandy
Finds a truck with Nazi cyphers codes
Ditches UK's commander and gives it to Canadian commander instead.
After that, he works as a scout. Meet the SS.
Kill four of them, One of those four throw a white phosphorus grenade before his death, blinding Major's left eye
Medic: "Yeah you can go home"
Major: "About 'bout Nah calice. I just need one eye lol"
After he comes back to his unit, is tasked to find a unit of zombies. (Low-motivated, fresh, French-Canadian recruit)
Instead finds almost 100 Wehrmacht soldiers.
Capture them by himself, kills 3 Germans who tries to escape to make a point.
Almost dies by SS troops that fires back at him and the prisoners
Deliver 93 Germans soldiers to his commander
Ditch the DCM because he though Montgomery was an idiot
Later, during a patrol, his truck strikes a mine and kill everyone on board, expect Leo.
His back, 4 ribs and his ankles broke.
Leo: "Nah i can still fight"
Him and best bud Willy Arsenaud infiltrate Zwolle for a scout mission.
German kill Leo's best friend.
Leo Major drop the politeness
SINGLE HANDELY capture the town.
His plan was to confuse the enemy by making as much noise as possible, using his Sten Gun, few MP-42 and Willy's grenade bag.
He capture couple of Germans soldiers and make them prisoners by bringing them back to the Allies Camp.
He do that 10 Times, by groups of 8-10 soldiers.
Kill four SS Officer and burn down the Gestapo HQ in Zwolle, as well of the SS HQ in Town.
FINALLY accomplish one of his orders. Was to link up with the local resistance.
He finally recover the body of his best friend and bring it back to his HQ, who still havent advanced yet.
Later that morning, Canadian soldiers arrives in town, sparing the town of a massive attack.
Got the DCM.
Finally leave the army after the war.
He did, ALL THAT, at 23 years old, within a year, after his father told him he was a worthless piece of shit that couldnt do anything in life.
ANd that skipping his later time in during the Korean army. Where he got another DCM by basically requesting an Artillery Barage on his position, his man surviving and winning an important battle.
You should do one about Bismarck, seriously, some of the things he did are funny. For example, at one point he was shot 6 times, but the bullets bounced off his ribs. Then, in an act that history didnt record, but im sure happened, Bismarck slid his sunglasses down, did finger guns at his wannabe assassin, and said, with a cheeky grin, "Iron Chancellor, baby." as he slowly backed away.

It is interesting to imagine how Sickles would be remembered if he had been killed in the Peach Orchard. My guess is he would have become an honored dead hero, like George Armstrong Custer, another headstrong commander who also led his men to annihilation.
My military history professor loved pointing pictures of Sickles (he lived into his 90s!) when he was old seems to have him surrounded by young women. The man was a legend, if only though his ability to fail upwards.
