This commander was such a badass. During on of his charges, he kept going untill he was face to face with a confederate officer, who fired a pistol almost point blank into his face. Chamerlin, alreadly wounded, simply dodged the bullet, held his saber against the traitor's neck, and demanded a surrender. He took 100 prisoners that day. Not to mention after this battle he continued to fight, even after a stomach wound, this bad ass lived till 1914! A true american hero, forgotten in time.
Wasn’t Atlanta burned down to the ground. My mother told me the people of Savannah made some fruit punch and gave it to the Union Army so they wouldn’t burn it to the ground. And the Union Army didn’t.
The city fathers of Savannah met with Sherman and agreed to surrender without a shot, so long as he spared the city. Sherman kept his word, then left to go burn Columbia, South Carolina.
@@waxerstarwarsexplained550 They certainly did. A few summers ago, I went to Charleston on a family vacation, and took the ferry out to Ft. Sumter. Not only was I part of the first group of the day, which meant we hoisted the colors over the fort, but I got to wander around and see the damage in the brickwork caused by the Confederate attack, and the later Union attack. Best is that the original flag from the fort is kept there, carefully preserved. Maj. Anderson struck the colors in 1861, and ran the same flag up in 1865 when he returned to his post.
The guy's a bigger badass than all the Marvel ad DC heroes, plus Chuck Norris plus Patton combined. He was shot about two or three times in one battle, but refused to retreat for fear of demoralising his men. So he stuck his sword in the ground and stood there. He was still found there after the battle. And he still lived to 1914 for cryin' out loud!

Jack Hand So basically you're saying, the end of slavery wasn't worth all the struggle & the defeat of the south? Or are u even saying that you'd wanted to keep slavery?

Because this song is just so human in its nature, it could be sung by a polish in the ditch upon Nazi assault on Warsaw or a kid trapped among Russian shells dropping in Grozny, and the message is still there: we human want freedom and we will fight for it.
What a Most Horrible, Tragic Waste. But we know....Slavery for the Enrichment of The Few (to take one Issue) was never going to stand. And the question of The Union Indivisible had to be settled. I Choke Up Hard when I watch these type of movies... Americans killing each other. God Bless The Republic !!!!
The greatest error the Confederacy committed wasn't made on the battlefield, it was made in a state room by politicians. Failing to free the slaves before declaring the independence of the States of the Confederacy, ultimately sealed it's own fate. A war fought to free men will always inspire men to fight, it's a bit more difficult to urge a man to fight for land that isn't his, or for an economy he does not reap the rewards of.
Johnny Sunday the confederates were very inspired to fight, it was viewed in the south as the “second war of independence” the real mistake was trying to fight a power that was more industrialized, populated and of course fighting for freedom and in the perseveration of the Union
I'd gladly argue the charge of the 20th Maine as one of the most important moments in American history. If they had lost that viral position, the Union army would have been almost completely surrounded, the Confederates would have won the battle of Gettysburg, winning the Civil war in the progress and bringing slavery into all parts of the U.S. I think the history of the United States and the world itself would have been very different if it weren't for that charge.
+SgtPrice1000 Even if they won at Gettysburg, it wouldn't have guaranteed a Confederate victory in the war, and even if they won it's highly improbable that they would have been able to or even would've wanted to take over the northern states. They pretty much just wanted to be independent and that's probably what would have happened in the event of a southern victory. Still, slavery and its horrors would have persisted for probably up to another half century in the south, and with a divided, far weaker United States with a hostile neighbor right on its southern border, history probably would have been quite different, and worse for it. That charge was definitely a pivotal moment in US history.
+Magni56 Most likely states who were on the sidelines would have joined the CSA after Gettysburg. But not those who had not. The US would be northern states only though, 2 different countries. A very different history for the world not just the Americas.
The South could still have lost even winning at Gettysburg. The most crucial "battle" was the 1864 Presidential Election. Lincoln was never gonna give up. And the only way you get a quitter in the White House before the South is crushed is have him lose reelection or be killed.
Dude, you don’t have to say the War of 1861 - 1865, just call it the Civil War. We already KNOW it was in the 1860’s, but that’s not the name of the war. It’s called the American Civil War because it was a civil war that was fought in America. 1861 - 1865 is just when the war was.
@@gabrielagustinhomas No. It was settled by the war, and by Texas Vs. White in 1869. But we aren't ruled by long dead founders. If the US wanted to break up, I suppose it could do so, with constitutional amendments. There was never any provision for states to unilaterally withdraw. A constitution is not a suicide pact.
The war was fought to preserve the Union and nothing more. As much as I’d like to imagine that my fellow northerners fought to end slavery it simply isn’t the case. The vast majority of union volunteers joined up with the idea of preserving the union. The war was started because of the slavery issue.
The Irish Captain Christian yeah I know that’s what I am saying this is how we won to world wars back to back because north and south new how to fight and new how to fight together in from the south btw
It is incredible. For a european person watching this from over the ocean. Ever had known a USA only and some ancient history of a civil war. But stuying comments under those (great) songs, one wonders: is this still alive over there after 150 (!!) years, twice the time the second warld war is over. Amazing for one who only knows the US as the prolonged arm of greedy corporations looting third warld countries around the globe, there has been another time. Those great hymns of the northern USA reflect their superiority over their southern counterparts in terms of ethics. They knew what they were fighting for. They had an idea, a vision. There is nothing like "a man shall not be a slave" or " a million freemen more" in the songs of the other side. That side just speaks of "southern rights", which they never determine more closely. That says enough. I love these songs for the idealism that swells from them.

It actually makes me sad seeing the Confederates dying in massive droves like that. Even though they were all traitors I still feel bad since they were all still American and basically brothers of the Union soldiers.
@@WAL_DC-6B The Confederacy never betrayed the United States Constitution, if anything were fighting to preserve it and the ideals the USA was founded on, the real traitors was Lincoln declaring an illegal war and invading legally seceded states with a federal army.
@@tdirtyatl Wrong, only around 9% of the South's population owned slaves and all slaves were owned by rich plantation owners, a number of officers both Union and Confederate owned slaves. More like every soldier killed is another American dying in a pointless conflict caused by a political matter. The common Confederate soldier was fighting for his home state and defending his home from being pilleged by federal troops. The Union wasn't even fighting to abolish slavery, slavery was used by the Lincoln Administration as an excuse to justify the conflict by mid-war to get further support for it and to make thr European powers side with the Union. I have no sympathy for people like you who are ignorant on history and have no respect for soldiers that done more in their lives and sacraficed more than you ever will.
@@Jarred-J254 Wrong, the South seceded to retain the institution of slavery. Don't call others "ignorant on history" when you don't know jack shit. Look at everything that led up to the south's secession: the Compromise of 1850, Bleeding Kansas, popularly sovereignty. The south seceded cause they damn well knew that more seats in congress for free states meant the eventual abolitionist/Republican majority would vote to abolish slavery. The only thing I'll give you is that, yes, a lot of the southern population fought for their state. That doesn't ignore the fact that the politicians sure as hell wanted to fight to keep slavery. I hope it's nice to live in a world of ignorance, ya fuckin traitor.
@@metal_fusion But quite unlike the rebels of the upcoming civil war that will wipe out your pseudo-liberal dystopia forever. All you have to offer is more child gr00ming and tax cuts for billionaires. Your defeat is a foregone conclusion.
The UNION FOREVER!!! If this was posted 7 days later it would have been PERFECT timing (Sept. 17, 1862-Sept. 17, 2012 The Battle of Antietam 150 years later: Union Victory) and the violin part onward at 2:08 SO inspiring!!!! oh just to be anal but it would have been great if you ended the clip with the scene of the US flag and the 69th Penn. flag zoomed out (The scene that came before showing Pickett watching his boys limping back towards him).
If we call the British Empire the greatest Military Machine of the Old world and the British Grenadiers were the greatest Unit of the Empire, and we call United States the greatest Military Machine in the New World then the 20th Maine is American version of the Grenadiers. The 20th Maine is America's Military Machine greatest Unit ever assembled and directed by America's Greatest Commander, General Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain.
This is a song about unity and freedom, this war was the USA’s stand that it was not going to be a country of slavery, south, north, east, or west WE ARE AMERICANS!
I still could not understand that the great display of generosity that Lincoln had shown. "With charity for all and malice toward none, let us bind up the nation's wounds. " (paraphasing) I thought that the tragedy of the war was that Lincoln was shot before he could put those words into action. I ask you if you had lost your brothers, sons, husbands to a cause like this would you be so welcoming to those traitors. Believe me that is the greatest of America, but the great task before us still remains, that these honored dead shall not have died in vain, and this country under god shall have a new birth of freedom and that government of the people, by the people and for the people shall not perish from the earth. (parahasing) No matter how much the Stupid Republicans what it too. It's the Union Forever!
"No matter how much the Stupid Republicans what it too." Your sentence doesn't make any sense but it sounds like you are attempting to insult Republicans. Was Lincoln stupid too? You knew he was a Republican too, didn't you?
GomerfromIsaan In today's Christaliban dominated GOP, he'd be booted from the party as "too liberal". The early GOP was the "Liberal Party", while the Democrats were the conservatives. Even TR and Ike would get the boot by todays neofascist Teahadists. Get your history right before you spew.
Had Lincoln survived, I can imagine that there would have been true reconciliation between North and south, no KKK, and civil rights coming forward much sooner. There may never have been weak or corrupt presidents like Johnson or grant.
Hatchet Mann So you are saying every other unit was like the 20th Maine? By the way the 20th ME pales in comparison of many of the top regiments in the Union.
And? Japan won at Pearl Harbor too, lot of good it did them. You can get a sucker punch in on old Uncle Sam, but he'll spit out the blood, turn his head back toward you, and KNOCK YOU THE FUCK OUT.
Antietam and Gettysburg were both tactical draws, but were both strategic Union victories. The results of both are plain to see: Lee was forced to abandon his invasions of the North after both battles.
This commander was such a badass. During on of his charges, he kept going untill he was face to face with a confederate officer, who fired a pistol almost point blank into his face.

@@jackmurphy3940 in what way?
people are still pised that we won the war (the union for we) but i say to them
"THE UNION FOR EVER HURRAH BOYS HURRAH DOWN WITH THE TRAITOR AND UP WITH THE STAR" then i back hand them
Seethe, cousin lovers
@@internetstrangerstrangerofweb cope, slave owners 😎
True americans who fought for freedom, not their own. Another man's and thus why they are heroes! Of this union and heroes of humanity.
This should be the global anthem! The most stirring song ever written, hands down.
There are a lot of foreign enemies who are against us. We should worry about them, not our internal fight 150 years ago.
Long live the Union!
Long live Maine because that's the 20th Maine in this vid
adub4ever LONG LIVE DIXIE !!!
+MatzeNuss Down with the traitors and up with the stars!
Death to the fed!!!! Up with the Cross!!!!!!!!!
+The Raged Boss Richmond didn't wage the war for taxes, it waged it initially to preserve slavery and a way of life.
It actually makes me sad seeing the Confederates dying in massive droves like that. Even though they were all traitors I still feel bad since they were all still American and basically brothers of the Union soldiers.
They were traitors to the United States Constitution.
@@WAL_DC-6B The Confederacy never betrayed the United States Constitution, if anything were fighting to preserve it and the ideals the USA was founded on, the real traitors was Lincoln declaring an illegal war and invading legally seceded states with a federal army.
I have absolutely no sympathy for the footsoldiers of a slaveholding government. The more of them that died the more slaves were freed.
@@tdirtyatl Wrong, only around 9% of the South's population owned slaves and all slaves were owned by rich plantation owners, a number of officers both Union and Confederate owned slaves. More like every soldier killed is another American dying in a pointless conflict caused by a political matter. The common Confederate soldier was fighting for his home state and defending his home from being pilleged by federal troops. The Union wasn't even fighting to abolish slavery, slavery was used by the Lincoln Administration as an excuse to justify the conflict by mid-war to get further support for it and to make thr European powers side with the Union. I have no sympathy for people like you who are ignorant on history and have no respect for soldiers that done more in their lives and sacraficed more than you ever will.
@@Jarred-J254 Wrong, the South seceded to retain the institution of slavery. Don't call others "ignorant on history" when you don't know jack shit. Look at everything that led up to the south's secession: the Compromise of 1850, Bleeding Kansas, popularly sovereignty. The south seceded cause they damn well knew that more seats in congress for free states meant the eventual abolitionist/Republican majority would vote to abolish slavery. The only thing I'll give you is that, yes, a lot of the southern population fought for their state. That doesn't ignore the fact that the politicians sure as hell wanted to fight to keep slavery. I hope it's nice to live in a world of ignorance, ya fuckin traitor.
It's from 'Gettysburg'
Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain was a great HERO! It's my favourite civil war character.
Remember.... Don't Tread On US!!
The union forever
Your comment will outlive the Union.
Hurrah boys Hurrah
@@metal_fusion But quite unlike the rebels of the upcoming civil war that will wipe out your pseudo-liberal dystopia forever. All you have to offer is more child gr00ming and tax cuts for billionaires. Your defeat is a foregone conclusion.
Damn I need to watch these movies again!
0:37 me pretending to get shot so I don’t have to run down the hill
And THAT'S Why its called a "Picket(t) Fence" !!!
A great anthem for a great administration.
I am standing up and defending the United States of America. I am VOTING for Harris / Walz. Shouting the battle cry of freedom. The Union forever.
Lincoln was republican
@@PrussianPanzer1939 and the Republicans were the northern states in the 1800's ( New York, California etc. )
@@PrussianPanzer1939 Jan 6 traitor spotted
Came here because I heard this song in Back To The Future 3 during the clock dedication scene
God bless America hurrah
Down with the traitors, up with the stars!
I’m envious of the Yankee boys for this song
But at the end of the day we’re all Americans and our shared enemies are the politicians
Fits well when fighting for the Railroad in FO4.
0:08 this song with this video is epic
The officer on the left at 0:27 looks a bit like Christian Bale.
🇺🇸 The Union forever 🦅
One of the best movie's i've ever seen
The UNION FOREVER!!! If this was posted 7 days later it would have been PERFECT timing (Sept. 17, 1862-Sept. 17, 2012 The Battle of Antietam 150 years later: Union Victory) and the violin part onward at 2:08 SO inspiring!!!! oh just to be anal but it would have been great if you ended the clip with the scene of the US flag and the 69th Penn. flag zoomed out (The scene that came before showing Pickett watching his boys limping back towards him).
Sounds like this is a version by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
Gettysburg great film
It's ok a bit long loads off talking on it 3 DVDs over 6 hours
This song touches my heart I love this country with all my heart in god we trust
Traitors seething over this one fr fr

SHOUT THE BATTLE CRY OF FREEDOM
Why?
P.e teacher: alright time for dodgeball
Red team: pfft....we got this
Me and the boys:
If we call the British Empire the greatest Military Machine of the Old world and the British Grenadiers were the greatest Unit of the Empire, and we call United States the greatest Military Machine in the New World then the 20th Maine is American version of the Grenadiers. The 20th Maine is America's Military Machine greatest Unit ever assembled and directed by America's Greatest Commander, General Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain.
Happy Birthday USA!!!
Still relevant over 100 years later!
Only 1860s kids will remember
I love it
Now add Pre battle American speeches from BF 1

This is my faviort song
Connor Lesher I don’t amaraken, but my too
This is a song about unity and freedom, this war was the USA’s stand that it was not going to be a country of slavery, south, north, east, or west WE ARE AMERICANS!

A Re-United Nation! Now and Forever.
I watched it 3 times
My favorite american military march.
Fantastic! Long live the 13th Amendment!!!
The UNION FOREVER!
Anyone know the movie title please?
Gettysburg best civil war movie in my opinion
Anyone have a video of us singing this on the farm in 2013?
Let's make this the new National Anthem.
I still could not understand that the great display of generosity that Lincoln had shown. "With charity for all and malice toward none, let us bind up the nation's wounds. " (paraphasing) I thought that the tragedy of the war was that Lincoln was shot before he could put those words into action. I ask you if you had lost your brothers, sons, husbands to a cause like this would you be so welcoming to those traitors. Believe me that is the greatest of America, but the great task before us still remains, that these honored dead shall not have died in vain, and this country under god shall have a new birth of freedom and that government of the people, by the people and for the people shall not perish from the earth. (parahasing) No matter how much the Stupid Republicans what it too. It's the Union Forever!
"No matter how much the Stupid Republicans what it too."
Your sentence doesn't make any sense but it sounds like you are attempting to insult Republicans. Was Lincoln stupid too? You knew he was a Republican too, didn't you?
GomerfromIsaan In today's Christaliban dominated GOP, he'd be booted from the party as "too liberal". The early GOP was the "Liberal Party", while the Democrats were the conservatives. Even TR and Ike would get the boot by todays neofascist Teahadists. Get your history right before you spew.
He saw far ahead. Had Lincoln lived there'd have been no Jim Crow and no KKK
Had Lincoln survived, I can imagine that there would have been true reconciliation between North and south, no KKK, and civil rights coming forward much sooner. There may never have been weak or corrupt presidents like Johnson or grant.
Best version for me!
Let's hear it for Ellis Spears !!!!
I have posted this vid on about at least ten neo traitor (confederate pages)
There is no other northern unit unlike the 20th Maine like if your from Maine
Hatchet Mann So you are saying every other unit was like the 20th Maine? By the way the 20th ME pales in comparison of many of the top regiments in the Union.
30th regiment of Maine is where my 5th great grandfather fought, George W Randall he was a general
Give 'em hell! Then and now!
0:58 too powerful
Whats the name of that movie?
Gettysburg
i love the north i am part of it
we will win all the battles and call the Union gry
keldeo20
+Keldeo20 Thats not the way it went yankee
Remember Far Remember Long the Battle Of Bull Run
And? Japan won at Pearl Harbor too, lot of good it did them. You can get a sucker punch in on old Uncle Sam, but he'll spit out the blood, turn his head back toward you, and KNOCK YOU THE FUCK OUT.
yep i do
oh ok
Antietam and Gettysburg were both tactical draws, but were both strategic Union victories. The results of both are plain to see: Lee was forced to abandon his invasions of the North after both battles.
is there a higher quality version of this song?? What's the original source of this audio? This version seems lower quality
No, this is how it normally is.
Yea this is a really old song so it was probably record a whilllle ago
who is this song by? where did you find the tune?
"Our Federal Union! It must be preserved!"- President Andrew Jackson, April 1830
May the Union never die!
