Standing desk! Just like Stonewall. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙂

Any thought on an upbeat tribute to 2024s fallen historians? Or would it be better not to bring that up. 2 awesome Personalities with a sea of knowledge delivered with unique voices.

“Country Roads” was intended for VA, but WV worked better lyrically. BTW, the Blue Ridge Mountains & the Shenandoah River ARE in WV, not much, they’re in Jefferson County. 🙂

I liked your broadcasts from different locations on the battlefield. Is that something that would be practicable for your future episodes?

Really enjoyed this episode!

Oh yeah that cooper union speach was So Inspiring!!!!! Where Lincoln said he wanted the peacefull "deportation" of all blacks.. As a legistor he urged colleagues to appropriate money to the removal OF ALL FREE BLACKS from the state of Illinois....Tell the whole truth please...

It is difficult for the Union to claim the moral high ground with "preserve the Union" and "Free the Slaves" is set against a backdrop of the reality of starving, destitute women and orphaned children silhoutted against burnt homes and farms......

"By the people and for the people" Hey adressing gettysburg... How Many Newspapers did Lincoln and the Fed Gov shutdown.....Over 300... .what a champion of democracy....stop the false narrative

The Union dead died at Gettysburg for subjegation while the Confederate died for self determination.......To suggest that the Union army signed up in droves to free slaves is unfortunatly a fairytale...

Lincoln 1847 "A Majority have the right to shake off the existing government and form a new one."...Power lust changed his mind...

Me and some guys from school We had a band and we tried real hard

He's right about some Americans not seeing the ACW as mean and nasty. A U.S. Park Ranger said that CW soldiers would never actually use their bayonets in combat, because doing that would make them feel 'bad'. He said this at a CW battlefield where both sides are known to have used the bayonet.

"Veterns"

"moozeeum"

Wow, Scales has a good number of views!

Here in the present time and watching the effects of what Covid did is wild to see. A blessing in disguise how it made you go do shows outside on the battlefield.

"All men created equal," ... No Gov claiming to fight a war for racial justice would then go out and do what the Union so called "hero's" did to the plains indians mere months after Lee's surrender..,.....Tell the truth and not propaganda that dumbs down and intentionally clouds Americans from the truth ..

"All men created equal" ...lol....Ask the Navajo and Dakota about "All men created equal.....both forced on death marches by Lincoln admin and Dakota rebelled just to get food promised them by the Fed Gov.....At this time slaves still existed in territories controlled by the Union.....When they talk about all men. they are talking about all white men ...

"Now we are engaged in a great civil war.......FALSE.....There has never been a civil war in the US in that the SOUTH HAD NO DESIRE TO RULE THE NORTH.. They wanted the right to rule themselves just like the Founders.. Why is one called a Revolution and the other Civil War... Because you all should know by now history is written by the victors.....

"By the people and for the people" ..lol.....ask the 13,000 political prisoners, including 13 MD legislators sent to rot in Fort lafayette NY without trial....Take a trip to MD and research what Lincoln did to that state ..What a champion of Democracy....

"By the people and for the people" is correct if u are talking about THE SOUTH who VOTED in overwhelming numbers to leave...The Founders, who fought their own war of secession 100 years earlier, would be beyond appalled the Fed Gov waged total war on citizens that chose to leave ......

Lincoln did not believe in anything he stated...Its amazing to me so many bright historians keep repeating the lie ...You are better than that ...

Gettysburg address in context...It was all total BS

Avalon Hill published 3 full sized games on Gettysburg. All with assorted flaws. The Intermediate version of Gettysburg '77 is the best of the 3 imo. Avalon Hill also published 2 mini games: Little Round Top and Devil's Den. Both have their flaws, but are fun to play. If you really want to play a truer historical simulation, consider: 1. Last Chance for Victory, 2. A Most Fearful Sacrifice, 3. Longstreet Attacks, 4. Summer Storm: The Battle of Gettysburg, and 5. Three Days of Gettysburg (2004 edition). Do not buy all 5, because playing all 5 titles will destroy your marriage.

1:16:54 The line occupied by Sickles was tactically sound, but strategically inept. To occupy it would have required about 20,000 men, and even then it doesn't connect with either Hancock's left, nor the Round Tops. If he had deployed on Caldwell's left, he might have stretched his 10,000 men to Little Roundtop. Humphrey's on the left occupying the heights and Birney in the woods between Caldwell and Humphreys. Given the wasted time moving the line forward, that time could have been better used to making breastworks along the whole line. The weakness would have been that Sickles had no reserves, as it would have taken all 10,000 men to occupy the line from Caldwell to Little Roundtop. V Corps could have acted as a III Corps reserve, extended the line to Big Roundtop, or used as a flanker around Longstreet's right. Good day.

In Elizabeth Varon's "Longstreet", the author says Longstreet asserted that Lee's "blood was up" and that he was "disequipoised" from having beaten the Army of the Potomac as an underdog in prior battles. Paraphrasing here, but Lee said "the enemy is up there (on Cemetery Ridge), and I'm going to strike him". But Longstreet favored finding the best defensive position, perhaps by interposing the Army of Northern Virginia between Gettysburg and Washington and forcing the Yankees to fight on ground of the South's choosing. Longstreet thought Lee's vanity pushed him into making a high risk bet which ended badly for thousands under Picket's command on day-3.

I could sit for hours listening to Gary talk the Civil War.

Matt Callorys Jugband Christmas ❤

One more comment: Like Grant from Australia, ABT videos led me to AG, which led to my decision to visit (from Britain). Thanks, everyone.

I always think that I'd enjoy hiking with Garry Adelman.

I always enjoy the chaos that ensues when Matt has certain guests. I do enjoy The History Things Podcast. My favorite episodes are their Lincoln Assassination shows.

Great show! The sketch of Bayard Wilkinson on Barlow’s Knoll is an Alfred Waud sketch. It’s signed ARW in the lower left corner.

Man I've listened to this three times. Amazing. There's something about Garry that makes these episodes extra special. On that note I've composed a song to the tune of Elton John's "something about the way you look tonight" 🎶And I can't explain. Buts it's somethin about the way Garry adelmaaaaan, politely tells people to eff off When they're wrong about harvest of death photoooooos

I had an ancestor that was in the revolutionary war. I have a copy from the national archives of his testimony of details, including what he did during his time as a militia man. This was when he was an older man living in Jefferson county NY and applying for his pension. I thought of this when you were talking about photos of revolutionary war veterans. I’m also very interested in all things about the civil war. My dad and I went to Gettysburg in 1994 by the way.

Does anybody else picture the little regimental game pieces from TSR’s “Terrible Swift Sword” when they talk about these brigades and divisions, etc?

When Garry talks about that 4th dimension from the “Then and Now” photos or “Step into History” videos, I feel it completely. I get chills up my spine. Can look at them for hours.

The rebel flag is a dirty old rag. Huzzah!
