Shiloh was a slugfest. Hornet's nest in particular, saw the most intense fighting. William H. L. Wallace fought hard for a while until he was shot and left for dead in the field. Lincoln's decision in defending Grant was sound. No one else had the courage to stand and fight like Grant for the Union in '62.
When there is a phase of battle referred to as the hornet's nest, you know it's going to get intense and ugly. Kudos to Lincoln for defending Grant, he knew how to fight.
Thank you for making this! Uber well done. I am so glad to see major western battles included, and not just those of the Eastern Theater. I wouldn't mind seeing a video like this on Perryville [KY], Wilson's Creek, Fort Donelson, Vicksburg, or even Glorietta Pass or Honey Springs either.
the reason that the confederates lost command and control of their troops and the intermingling of regiments and brigades was the way the attack was organized. The confederates attacked in columns of corps instead of columns of divisions. Meaning that the corps were stacked one behind the other as apposed by each Corp having it`s on area of responsibility
Stunning video as usual! For the next several videos, you should do the Battle of Kadesh (1274 B.C.E.) and Suppiluliuma vs. Tausret (non-historical) for Pharaoh, the Battle of Watling Street (61 C.E.) and Carthage vs. Royal Scythia (non-historical) for Rome II, and the Siege of Milan (452 C.E.) and Vandals vs. Picts (non-historical) for Attila. As always, keep up the awesome work👍!
I'm binging your channel and will be subbing. Please continue the epic work! If I may offer one suggestion. When doing videos on the civil war, could you have them marching in files of 4 and fight in ranks of 2. Just a little critique to give your epic videos a little more realism for the civil war era. If you have any questions about the civil war and would like to chat about some narrative ideas you could include, I'd love to be of service
Thanks, your support means a lot 😊 I wish I could make them march in files of 4 but unfortunately the game I am using to make these videos doesn’t allow the columns to match any thinner than they are, but yes I would love to how can I reach out to you?
It sure would be nice to be able to find a civil war battle photograph. I've found several paintings and drawings but no photos. It seems as though an ambitious photographer of that era or for the Union army would have been able to catch at least one live battle photo.
Visited Shiloh a decade ago. Heavy forested area which no doubt caused much confusion for the attackers...except for in front of the hornet's nest. Possible explained why the Confederates were so interested in controlling that area.
Fun fact: injured soldiers at Shiloh at dark who were still waiting to be saved saw their wounds glowing, they were probably confused by this. Turns out this is a type of bacteria ( Idk the name ) this type of bacteria eats other bacteria. It significantly helped the soldiers wounds heal faster, potentially saving their lives.
This is not confirmed by science as of yet. Some believe the bacteria is Photorhabdus luminescens that glows in the dark. It exists in the gut of parasitic nematodes that feed on insect larvae such as maggots .The bacteria is regurgitated by the nematodes and is effective at killing harmful bacteria. P. luminescens cannot survive at body temperature but conditions at Shiloh were cold and damp and some soldiers may have had hypothermia. As they healed their body temp would have killed off the bacteria. So if the story is true you had to have very specific conditions not present on most battlefields to cause the "angel's glow ."
Facts are a little different than what I've read. Lew Wallace was lost on backroads and didn't show up until 1st day was almost over. Troops wasted too much time and troops at sunken road. If they had kept moving forward they would have pushed the Union army into the river.
What can you tell us about the mia's in MLernards army. Many are enterend in mass graves near where they fell. Weren't there some point blank cannon exchanges?

Proud to say my states regiment was under the command of Grant and fought in a few battles mentioned.
1st Nebraska!

Thanks😁I’ll definitely end up covering these I want to get through all the American civil war battles eventually
@@cinematicbattles559 most welcome. I look forward to it :)

Thanks man, I will definitely look into these , I’ve especially been wanting to do battle of kadesh I just need to sort out all the mods and stuff 😂
@@cinematicbattles559 You’re welcome!
Grant picked Pittsburgh landing because he could drill troops there,when the fighting started Union could move men into battle.

@@cinematicbattles559Shouldn't it be possible through rank modding with the modding tool? (forgot its name)
Is this the ACW mod for Empire, or Napoleon? Video is great, editing and narration so well done! Glad to discover this channel
This is the one for napoleon , thanks a lot. I’m glad you enjoy watching 😁

You should do the battle of Chickamauga Georgia the biggest battle in the western theater.
Yes, this is definitely a battle I want to cover in the future!

There is no longer a civil war playlist
Loved the vid! Which mods were used for this?
Thanks! This is the American Civil War mod that can be found on the mod DB website for Napoleon Total War

One of my ancestors from MS is buried there.
Grant was in Savanah drunk and hungover from a party they had at the hotel/boarding house the night before.

Shiloh,place of peace!

ACW Total War Rules... check out this mod for Napoleon Total War!!!
@5:55 when your hot neighbor is outside in a bikini
I believe the battle was Is spotsylvania
You mean Normandy
How do you go into cinematic??
You just have to watch it in a replay
The North invaded the South !
Shiloh was the first battle of the Civil War. All other fights were skirmishes.
What about Gettysburg? That was some battle.
@@mondoseguendo6113
Gettysburg was much later.
Didn’t bull run come before Shiloh? Bull run is widely recognized as the actual first battle
🙄No you are Not!
Lmao

You can tell in how it pronounces “am” as a word rather than an acronym.

They all probably would have been better off, actually firing their weapons rather than just jamming the ramrod in over and over again
That makes sense.
Dude, it’s an animation, and a poorly done one at that.
