- The Grand Reunion of 1888, held on the 25th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg, was hailed as a time of reunion and reconciliation. It would also prove to be the first real meeting of many Union and Confederate veterans, Daniel Sickles, Henry Slocum, Joshua Chamberlain, James Longstreet and John B. Gordon among them. All these former enemies joined together in feelings of brotherhood and pride in the accomplishments of a reunited nation. Join Ranger Karlton Smith and explore the events, interactions, and episodes of this important moment in Gettysburg history.

The 1888 Gettysburg reunion was a true result of the healing of our country. No more north or south, we are all Americans bound by the events in the past later honored as the glory of memories. If I could travel back in time I would have greatly wished to be at this reunion, even just to view the events and the veterans.
Yes, i hear the differences in his pronunciation, but have no trouble understanding him.. i applaud his getting up there and addressing the group. The content was very informative and the speaker knowledgeable.
Excellent presentation, thank you! I had no problem understanding the speaker.
very informative presentation! thank you!
I still don't care what anyone thinks, if i'd been a Gettysburg veteran at that reunion..I'd still have hurled Dan Sickles off a high balcony with a nice long drop and cheered as he went!
Hahaha!
i think anyone would agree with you wether they are billy yank or johnny reb
Agree, I would have helped.
You must not forget these Americans had honor despite their differences
@@DM-iw2qt their differences? seriously..... your kidding right?
good lecture I think its interesting to know the not so familiar politics of the times well done
I can only imagine how difficult it was to function in the mid 19th century without limbs, like Sickles. Day to day life must have been a challenge.
Well, Sickles was pretty rich. I believe he had a pretty good prosthetic leg.
But, yes, you are right. It had to be extremely difficult then. It's diffict now..... but they didn't have any handicap access considerations.
In other words, you could say that...
(•_•) ( •_•)>⌐■-■ (⌐■_■)
You're stumped!
The reference to the meeting being a "camp meeting" is a reference to revivals that were held in camps over a period of many days. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camp_meeting
I'm not having any trouble understanding him.
It's good to go from 1863 to the healing of 1888...thanks for such a indepth presentation.
Healing??
Turn on captions. Then you’ll experience no problem with this talk.
How does one turn on captions?
You still have to listen to him, ugh yuk
@@academyofshem then leave go away nobody else would care
@@Yausbro How about next time they get someone who doesn't talk like Elmer Fudd.
He sounds like Brian Wilson.
But he can't sing.
I can’t believe all the nasty comments about how this man speaks. If you can speak so much better then YOU get a job and do the talks!! Some people are never happy about anything and have nothing else to do but make negative comments
Get paid what he gets paid and work in and around Gettysburg? Sign me up!
I can't believe they got Elmer Fudd as a public speaker...
Hi Johnny Reb!! Do you live near any smoky mountains?
@@carolbell8008 yep. Smokey Mountians National park is about 3 hours away. They are in East Tennesee. I am a bit above them in Kentucky.
@@JohnnyRebKy Hi, thanks, there are hills in ky though, pretty ones, I believe. I used to go to Smokey Mountain NPark every summer and stayed at a campground just outside the park. The entire area is beautiful! I like your handle! I’ve been studying the CW for a long time it is interesting! What great men they were.
Ol Pete certainly was still larger than life in 1888.
Would have been interesting to know how Confederates Longstreet and Gordon interacted? Gordon a KKK man and Longstreet a Reconstruction guy..
Kalle Konttinen shout out to Longstreet. Helping to build the country back together. While lost causers shit on his name to uplift that bumbling fool Lee.
@@xaviourcammon1475 dont get your hopes up longstreet was a major suppoorter of jim crow and the suprression of free blacks his plan was to corrupt the republicans from with in to bring back the status qou
@Eremias Ranwolf I bet when you introduce yourself to people, you say, "My name is Ewemias Wanwolf" XD
@@dominicvucic8654 and your proof for that is what?
I have no problem understanding the Smith. He does swallow words but I'm from Baltimore and I'm used to hearing hideous accents. In glad I never picked up on that accent because it really sounds lazy. It still makes me feel ashamed hearing it, lol. Smith doesn't have that accent but it's somewhat similar. For instance instead of saying "oil", it will be pronounced like the "ull" in "Bull" lol. He does say Washington similar though.
fascinating - I'm Australian and had no issues with the accent - spoke slowly by Australian 'norms'.
Is the ending supposed to be a joke?
Yes his speech is difficult to follow!..Dan Sickles..I'm surprised that Meade didnt have him strung up from the nearest tree, legless or not!..His stupidity almost cost the battle..Yet he came out of it smelling of roses!..Congressional Medal of Honour and all!..Politics and money you see!
Please explain how pushing your division a half a mile out of position to form a defensive line a "spoiling attack"? I do understand his rationale, considering his Chancellorsville experience, but he's damned lucky that the terrain on his left flank was so rugged, that Warren and Vincent were on the ball, and that Meade and Hancock responded appropriately. All's well that ends well, so they say, but a less politically savvy general would've been hung out to dry.
Love those Tamamey Hall lawyers who got in good with Lincoln, huh?
@@indy_go_blue6048 corps sickles corps
@@indy_go_blue6048 and its spoilled longstreets assault as longstreets inteligence suggested union forces were a mile back so they would sneak up on sickles corps but when longstreet encountered sickles corps earlier then expected that plan went south as he no longer had suprise and had to slog it out with sickles corps praying he can over whelm them before union rienforcements arrive. shocker he didnt and 5th corps plugged up the gaps and forced longstreets corps to retreat.
He probably did his ol' "temporary insanity" excuse. Hey, it worked before...
I believe enriches didn’t best he could with what he had. Meade should have taken greater care. But more importantly, I am reminded that with Lincoln’s death full reconstruction was not allowed. How different things would have been.
Sickles
Fort Gordon Geogia!

People who don’t understand what he’s saying... get out and explore the world around you a little. There are many different accents out there and idiosyncrasies in speaking styles, as well as speech impediments. Not everyone speaks the same. Attune your ears and brain so you can learn and comprehend.
People who think everyone has crystal-clear hearing...get out and explore the world around you a little. There are many different kinds of hearing problems, and public speakers who articulate like Elmer Fudd make it very difficult for the hearing-challenged to understand. Please stop doing self-exams for lower-colon polyps so you can learn and comprehend.
There’s no need for either of you to put down others. Everyone’s voice is different and so is everyone’s hearing. Closed captioning is available for this video for anyone with a hearing problem.
@@jamenb1 Except for those of us who have difficulty reading because of vision problems. This is why you should not have Elmer Fudd's nephew doing a presentation.
@@academyofshem get serious
@@Yausbro get a brain
Seems my mind struggles understanding some of his words
Shhh. Be vewy vewy quiet, I'm hunting wabbits
Why did they get Elmer Fudd to give this lecture?
Part of his Work-Release program after he got that screwy rabbit
I think about Elmer every time I hear this guy speak...he has balls to get up and do this because if I had that speech problem I wouldn't do it
Because you were too busy
@Eremias Ranwolf Shhh. Be vewy vewy quiet, I'm hunting wabbits
The wrong side won but I'm glad the survivors could live with it.
No state may leave the union without consent of all the other states. To do so otherwise is treason, anarchy and rebellion and was met by force in order to restore order . The side on the right side of the law won the war
@@vinny4411 Firstly, Everyone in the US a generation before was born an English subject and they not only betrayed the King but also their country. Secondly, when laws are unjust, justice is rebellion. Stop worshipping law. Thirdly, if youre breaking away, laws no longer apply, and you are no longer bound by them. You can call them outlaws, but what they are doing isnt illegal, its para-legal. The good side was the South. The Union was and is now garbage.
This seems like an interesting topic, but I can't understand the speaker. He seems to be swallowing many words and not enunciating well.
Very easy to understand.
Yeah I had to put the joke of closed captions on to figure out some words and that wasn't much help either.
@@shotleylad If you're Elmer Fudd, maybe...
@Eremias Ranwolf "Heard"???? LOL
@@shotleylad No he's not.
The problem with this lady is she believes she is completely innocent and did nothing wrong. She definitely did not do anything to stop evil deeds from happening though, did she? She says she feels "betrayed by the mobsters" she serviced with her mouth and other orifices of her body. It is all about her, but what about the family that she abandoned? I wonder if they feel any sense of betrayal?
You need to get off crack.
it would be nice,,,,,,,,,,,,sorry to say,,,,,,,,,if I could understand this speaker,, its NOT the MIC,,, its the voice,, and dialeclt,,
what's so hard about it?
@@tomjones2202 He has a speech defect. He can't speak properly. I don't care how much he knows, he sounds like shit, and who the hell wants to listen to that?
@Eremias Ranwolf It's called a SPEECH DEFECT, oatmeal-brains. .
@Eremias Ranwolf That's what I can't figure out: why you don't understand about speech impediments. You see, if you pay money, or plan on spending an hour or two of your valuable time (well, I can only speak for myself) listening to a speaker, then you don't want to have to struggle on every syllable. What part of that do you not understand, hmmm?
@Eremias Ranwolf Sure. And how about you try not being a total douche sandwich?
I am a confederate from the South Tennessee they died too way to young
Geezes, this guy's lisp is so heavy that I cant understand most of what he's saying.
He was saying: "Ooo you waskely genewal! Be vewy vewy quiet! I'm hunting Yankees!"
Sickles was an unfit commander who damned near lost the Battle of Gettysburg by his stupid moves. Sickles deserved to be booed instead of cheered.
Meade is the one who ignored sickles warnings about confederate troop movements and pleas for orders and support.He hated sickles over political issues and refused to give him specific orders that day and allowed him to be sacrificed in order to force General
Lee’s hand. Meade was a bumbling fool who got very lucky that 3 days in July because he had the luxury of having Hancock, And Howard as Corp commanders
Meade didn’t beat Lee
Lee beat Lee
@@vinny4411 I agree with you to some degree. Lee had a good plan but not all his generals did their best job, Custer stopped the Confederate Calvary and the Union troops and commanders did a good job.
@@brooklynbummer Lee's plan was crap. Attack! Attack! God will grant us victory! God is on our side!
@@academyofshem Lee’s plan was good but several failures, especially his Calvary were missing when Lee needed them the most. Custer’s Calvary stopped the Confederate plan to attack behind Missionary Ridge while Picket attacked the Ridge from the front. Lee was always bold in his planning and mostly gained victory by being bold.
This guy is good but he needs speech therapy if he's gonna be giving speeches.
Gettysburg was an inside job lol 😂. Longstreet and Sickles were in cahoots together the whole time!! Longstreet was a mole!!
I’m obviously joking calm down 😆
Interesting, but the speaker has no business performing this lecture. His pronunciation is horrible, and very difficult to understand. No insult intended, but it sounds like he has a hearing problem, or just a bad speech impediment.
@Eremias Ranwolf LOL...get over it already.
The longer I listen the harder I am understanding his speech, poor speaker, but I’m not trying to be malicious, not something to make fun off.
@Eremias Ranwolf He's hard as hell to understand. He talks like Elmer Fudd.
His enunciation is poor. A speaker with true command of the English language would have been a far better choice for this lecture. I’m not putting him down personally, I just feel that he is not a great orator.
@Eremias Ranwolf Hell, ANYONE would be better than Elmer there.
