IMDb Review:
Robert Child wrote and directed this very good documentary on the Battle of Gettysburg. If you're a history buff then I'm going to guess that you're going to know the majority of the stories that are told here but that's not going to take away from the entertainment value. I'm not sure what the budget of this was but we're given some very good re-enactment scenes that are extremely well-done and believable. The film also benefits from a wealth of knowledge told through the narrator as well as some history buffs. At just 61-minutes the film never overplays its welcome and I'd argue that fans of the genre should really enjoy this. A lot of times these low-budget documentaries are just made to try and milk whatever money that can from fans but this one here was extremely worthwhile.

THANKS TO ALL for the courtesy of your time in preparing this video!!
It was our honor to bring this to all our subscribers. Thanks everyone!
With Sam Elliott playing Buford in the classic film "Gettysburg", it makes it that much more fitting that they have him do a voiceover in this documentary.
Shelby Foote in Ken Burns civil war documentary said that we had lost our ability to compromise. I think that was the point slavery was not an issue one could not compromise on you either agreed with it or despised it
I think what Foote was wanting to say, but didn't/couldn't, is that wasn't it just a little immature of the North to not accept Southern dictates about slavery. Foote was a Southern propagandist and apologist who spent his career trying to slide around the fact that the war was about one race attempting to permanently enslave another. When Southern forces massacred black soldiers at Fort Pillow all Foote could summon up is that it was "an incident". Cheers!
@@kw19193 outstanding I agree 👍💯
My respect to all who fought at Gettysburg, and may they rest in. Peace , Thank you for your service in our freedom. ,
this is amazing!! Gettysburg needed a more modern documentary!!
Thank you our team appreciates your comments. Our best!
@@PointofSpearAn amazing & detailed documentary, sir. My compliments on a job very well done🙂👌
@@PointofSpearIt's honestly 1 of the best ones on Gettysburg I've ever viewed👍💯
Love all the colorized pictures.
Ironicallly they used Sam Elliot to narrate Buford,who portrayed him in the 1993 movie "Gettysburg"....
A better guy couldn't have been chosen for the task, sir👍💯
It wasn't Sam Elliot.
a poor depiction for sure
@@FrancoM7747 Maybe its not him,but it sure sounds like him.
They stripped the audio directly from the movie.
Thank you President Abraham Lincoln, Mr. Frederick Douglass, and all who fought to end slavery and save the USA.
If you want some interesting reading take a look at Fredrick Douglass’s comments about Abraham Lincoln - especially on the ten year anniversary of Lincoln’s death (it’s not what you would expect)
Just how many Slaves did Abraham Lincoln save?
Or did Abraham Lincoln make the Slaves homeless, Starving and unemployed? The Slaves never even got their 40 acres and a mule, that they were promised.
Lincoln didn't fight to end slavery. He fought to preserve the Union. It became a fight to end slavery after they were being beaten on the battlefield. The emancipation proclamation was a war measure. It didn't free anyone.
Had nothing to do with slavery .. the union didn’t mind the south had slaves, its when they stop paying taxes the union needed as excuse to declare war
@@Auzzzie82the south fired first and I have NO DOUBT slavery was the primary issue. Lincoln was elected and the south was threatened by that fact. It’s why the state seceded and is mentioned in their articles of succession. Anyone who says otherwise is simply spouting the “Lost Cause” garbage. I’m a conservative southern man born in the 1950’s and still that is crystal clear to me.
Ulysses Grant has been called the first modern general I think the answer to that is he is a west point graduate who has experience in the mexican war who applies his training and schooling to his trade something necessary in the civil war as we were fighting our own countrymen in a rebellion it was something I think that Lincoln was impressed with as he came from a modest beginning and become a lawyer and eventually president
Were there any other battles in the Civil War OTHER than Gettysburg??
Numerous Battles!
Abraham Lincoln gloated, "That he was going to whip the Southerners in one big battle." At one of the earliest battles at First Manassas. (Bull Run) (P.G.T Beauregard and Johnston lit the Union Army up.)

35:25
Damn...Lee faced the UNITED STATES ARMY and it is that ARMY he lost to.
NTS 4:15
The quote is ….the last full measure of devotion. At least get it right
Pickett men must have been terrified
No more than any one who faced the army shooting at them including the union forces they were terrified of Lee and his army because he defeated them time and time again Gettysburg was the first defeat of lees army the Confederates were convinced lee could not lose. And the Yankee could not win because when faced with Lee's army. They would turn and run.
@@WonderfulEagle-mm1vjRobert
Robert E. Lee at Gettysburg suffered a heart attack coming out of Maryland into Pennsylvania. And Lee had been suffering with chronic dysentery for weeks. And with the death of Lees' right arm man...Thomas Jackson, 6 weeks earlier: Robert E. Lee wasn't quite himself at Gettysburg. But Lee did full fill his reason for going to Gettysburg, when he did. And when departed Gettysburg and out of Pennsylvania and back into Maryland and back into Northern Virginia..
Robert E. Lees' departure plan was geniuses.
Hahaha

@savanahmclary4465

Why do you show false history
