On July 2, 1863, Colonel Joshua Chamberlain lead his men of the 20th Maine on a bayonet charge down the slopes of little round top, during the battle of Gettysburg. He would later be awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions that day.

This clip, from the movie Gettysburg, depicts the epic moment in history. It's one of the best, if not the best scene in the movie.

More soldiers died in the Civil War than in all other US wars combined

[loki-erlking]

So, I live in the North, family has always lived in the north since we came to this country. And I recently found out that my great grandfather great grandfather fought for the Union in the Civil War.

If I where to go south, how easy would it be to rile someone up by talking about the war down there?

Dr. Leonard W. Roberts Provides Commentary about the Hatfield-McCoy Feud #Appalachia #history #feuds #HatfieldMcCoyFeud

Truda Williams McCoy’s The McCoys: Their Story (1976) is a classic book about the Hatfield-McCoy Feud. Truda, a McCoy descendant born in 1902 who married a grandson of Ran’l McCoy, collected her stories directly from feud participants and close family members prior to and during the 1930s.

A Few Things To Consider ( #819 )

A Few Things To Consider ( #819 ) ( A few parables for the amusement and the entertainment of my family, friends and family ) 1.) Do not be like Tucker Carlson, for he is a walking breathing lie. If we are a liar we are Hell bound, it seems that in his case just like many at Fox’s propaganda channel ratings are more important to them than burning. 3.) Ones who fear death are the ones that are…

Modern case of mass hysteria:

The Twilight fandom collectively pretending Jasper Hale isn't canonically a fucking confederate.

"Give Them the Cold Steel Boys, July 3, 1863"

Confederate General Lewis B. Armistead, with his cap on the tip of his sword, leads his men across the stone wall during Pickett’s Charge on the 3rd and final day of the battle of Gettysburg.

Approximately 12,500 Confederate troops, in nine infantry brigades, advanced over open fields for three-quarters of a mile under heavy Union artillery and rifle fire. Although some Confederate troops were able to breach the low stone wall that shielded many of the Union defenders, they could not maintain their hold and were repelled.

While the Union suffered about 1,500 killed and wounded, during the attack, the Confederate casualty rate was over 50%. Total Confederate losses during Pickett's Charge were 6,555, of which at least 1,123 Confederates were killed on the battlefield, 4,019 were wounded, and a good number of the injured were also captured. Confederate prisoner totals are difficult to estimate from their reports; Union reports indicated that 3,750 men were captured.

Any Civil War history from the Confederate perspective (especially early in the war) is always insane from a modern perspective, because no matter what complexities or patriotic feelings they try to bring up, it eventually always boils down to

Confederate: Abraham Lincoln is ACTUAL SATAN!

Me: Okay, that's a pretty serious charge. What makes you say that?

Them: He wants to free the slaves!

Me:

Me:

Me: ....that's it?

Them: What do you mean??

Me: I just thought maybe there'd be something else. Something actually evil.

Them: Isn't that enough??

Me: To put this mildly...no.

Rose Greenhow: He looks like an ape and doesn't know which wine to drink at dinner.

Me: That's just mean and you're a snob. It doesn't mean he's evil. Isn't there anything else?

Them:

Them:

Them: Oh, I got it! He's a tyrant who won't let us secede!

Me: Okay, but why did you want to secede?

Them: Because Lincoln's an evil tyrant who wants to free the slaves!

At which point I throw my hands up in despair, baffled at the extreme cultural and moral gulf.

You know I was watching some American shows and then I come across a Review video of "Why are there so many Confederate Vampires?" by Princess Weekes

That really got me thinking what Vampires but they are just part of the Union, like imagine this gal being like, "DId yoU oWn SlAveS?"

And the Vampire just sits there, drinking Cheap Wine mixed with Blood, dude is not even fabulous, not a Twink, a pretty thick guy, he just sits there in sweatpants, messy unkempt hair and a shirt on that he embroidered himself, he says to her, "Why the fuck is that the first thing that came out of your mouth?"

He was just super shocked and pulled out an old Union Flag, much flabbergasted and very hurt, "WERE YOU HOPING I WAS RACIST?"

"Take a Good look at me, do you think I gained wealth, nah you scoundrel I fucking procrastinated!"

"I mean Robert E. Lee was kinda Hot but I AIN'T A FUCKING GRAYBACK"

(He's Texan and he just sided with the Union Army)
