God: "And how did you die?"
McClellan: "I didn't die! I merely failed to live!"
I think this is how he would react
@@epicman1348-_-1 definitely 🤣
Stupid deaths, stupid deaths. They’re funny cuz they’re true. Stupid deaths, stupid deaths. Hope next time it’s not yoooou.
@@carissamace horrible histories throw back
@@theofficialy1b I can just imagine that general who said “They can’t hit us” and then he got shot in the head telling that to death.
That's how you know your fans love you, when they love a 50 minutes long video
And I love you guys!
@@VloggingThroughHistory 🤗
Sometimes you can't microwave a good intellectual dive. You gotta let it simmer on the crockpot of time to bring out the factual flavor notes!
@@WaywardVet you right
No one mentions this in civil war videos but an underrated general in this war that was viewed as a traitor to the south and suspicious in the north was George H Thomas. George H Thomas was such a great general. Wasn’t respected like grant or Sherman because he had no political support. From the north and was hated by the south. Jeb Stuart wanted to have George hanged. George was highly effective in the west. He’s the only general in the civil war to not lose a battle and virtually destroyed a southern army in the west in Nashville. Great general. The rock of chickamarra. He accepted blacks into his army while Sherman refused them
"We are all real Americans, sir" what a legendary line
Damn straight. And if you look closely at that remark. You’ll see the truth of it’s timeline; Times are changing. People ARE Changing. 🙂
and then the Americans continued manifesting their destiny which is to kill the rest of the natives and take their land and maybe kick out the Mexicans too
He never said that, according to a premier scholar that worked there that I know
@thegreatcharcoal4668 you know someone that was alive at that time?
@@thegreatcharcoal4668interesting. Who’s the scholar?
His input on literally anything is more interesting than reading a book about the same thing.
That's because he's read all the books. ALL the books.
@@WaywardVet yes he reads the books so we dont have to
@@incognitobread5369 he crawled so we can fly lmao
Agreed
@@WaywardVet "Hellooooo i'm the Historian, I read the books so you don't have to!"
Yknow when you hear about Lincoln’s assassination, it’s easy to just gloss over it as a sad happening that led to the awful period of reconstruction. But to hear of the joy that the Lincoln’s were looking forward to and that they never experienced, it’s also such a heartbreaking human tragedy
.
especially for his wife
I'm already feel sad for Lincoln when they mentioned about losing their son on their way to Fords Theater, but the way you interpreted this made it even more depressing for me ; - ;
@@ll-yy6ui it was also mentioned in the first part of the reaction that Mrs. Lincoln became so depressed that she went insane and was admitted to an asylum years later.
My mom's side is southern and my perspective my whole life is how tragic it was that Lincoln passed away prior to reconstruction. He would have done so much more for black Americans first. Also though, he didn't hate the south, he literally fought the war to keep the south as he felt them important. Why he stands as one of the greatest presidents in my opinion is he is one of the only men in history that could fight a war on principles he believed while loving those he fought. Truly a remarkable man who passed too soon.
God dammit the ending gets me. Even though you've seen it, you gotta hear it out and let it settle.
Rest easy Lincoln, we'll carry on from here..
Wish the people who fly confederate flags today could understand what you feel
@@gabee7268 They understand. They're just disgusted by it.
@@jijonbreaker They are the guys who say the Confederacy fought for states rights
@@soumyadeepchatterjee1262 those people dont know their ass from a hole in the ground
It breaks my heart that there are many today who want to purge Lincoln from history and tear down his monument.
I’ve seen that photo of Lincoln’s funeral procession loads of times but never realised Roosevelt was in the picture as a boy, that’s absolutely insane to think about, and little details like that are why this is hands down the best reaction channel out there, history or otherwise.
"Unconditional Surrender" Grant has to be one of my all-time favorite monikers for a general.
Especially since U.S Grant wasn’t actually his name, it was Hiram Ulysses Grant but West Point got it wrong… but when he told them they were like “we don’t get things wrong” and he basically shrugged and went along with Ulysses S Grant for the rest of his life. Doesn’t surprise me, he wasn’t the type to ever complain. Dude wrote his autobiography after finding out he had stage 4 throat cancer and only because the 18th century Bernie Madoff had ripped him off and he didn’t want to leave his family destitute. He hung on, in excruciating pain I must add, just long enough to finish it and died days later. He was a truly remarkable person.
I know eventually you’ll have to stop reading every comment - but I have to have a lot of respect to how long you’ve been doing it. You have over 150,000 subscribers (congrats) yet still find the time to engage in the community behind your channel. I’ve never seen anyone this engaged with their community, especially at your size. Keep it up! 👍
Didn't even notice he had this much. I still feel like I'm on this nice channel with few thousands subs. Channel sure grew but it's still as comfy as ever.
@@Niitroxyde I hope that can continue for as long as possible.
Yeah
400k now, and still growing.
Just so you know , we loved the original videos you made . But the fact you’re willing to go back over and try to add more detail shows you don’t just care about likes and views you also care about the quality of your work and I definitely am grateful we get to watch with you again
i literally just finished the 1st part and now i’m here lol
Same here. Its 1am.
Edit: finished the vid and its now 2am
Yeah, I’ll put on his videos while I work. I can’t concentrate on work if I listen to fiction, but anything non-fiction I can both take in and still focus on work.
I've watched all of Oversimplified's videos about a dozen times each, and the ones about the Civil War are my favorite. The end really gets to me, which is surprising. I'm not even American, but I get goosebumps and feel a great sense of sorrow from those closing words about Lincoln. Our modern world could've looked so much better if he hadn't been murdered.
Same for me (I am not American either).
God Bless You All. 🙏🏻 😇 Same here. BUT I’m an American.
The south would have been developed far faster than it did. Jim Crow may never have been allowed to happen. It’s so sad.
The biggest sign that this man is a true historian who is dedicated to knowledge is what he talks about. Some people talk about history and bring up anecdotes that at best we find “amusing”. But he talks about genuine stories that have been swept under the rug that need to be brought into the light. Sir, your truly are a class act!
"A War Democrat: A democrat who supports the war"
Simplicity at its finest.
Well there are "Radical Republicans"
Here before this explodes.
@@srijandas5 before the nuclear fallout that's about to happen
@@memecliparchives2254 exactly! that's what I heard on the other video haha.
@@srijandas5 this comment sadly never exploded
This channel has made me love history again after a long time. The way you talk about things and the additional information you give makes me motivated to get into history again.
I appreciate you saying that. That makes it all worth it to me.
Something interesting that I only just noticed- at 5:30 when they are selecting a new general, they compare Burnside and Hooker.
That'd actually what happened- Burnside and Hooker were personal rivals, and Burnside only obeyed the order to take command because he knew that Hooker would get it otherwise.
Yws, but Burnside was downplayed here :)
I'm not american, I don't know much about american history, I've never been there, but the ending... Gets me. He was an amazing person. Thank you for your work and rest in peace, Abraham Lincoln.
As soon as I saw this in my recommendation, I smiled. You're the best historian! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
ay just heads up don’t go to the theater
@@bandkgrover my man really just said that 🤣
Fun fact: I have a friend who is related to Sherman. Said they even found a journal belonging to Sherman in some old boxes in their attic
General Grant became the first person since George Washington to hold the rank of General of the Army in 1865, retaining it until he became President in 1869. He was succeeded by Sherman, who himself was succeeded by Sheridan in 1885. The most recent person to be General of the Army was General Omar Bradley, who received that rank in 1950, shortly after Truman fired General Douglas MacArthur.
I don’t think it was after he fired MacArthur. I may be wrong but I think it was because Bradley was the Chief of Staff and needed to atleast equal the rank of MacArthur to give him orders, and MacArthur was a GOA and theatre commander in Korea.
Grant was eventually given the rank of general of the armies of the United States which to my knowledge only he, George Washington & Pershing have ever held… A 6th Star general
Damn, I've come back to this video (both this one and the original over on Oversimplified) several times now, and that ending never fails to make me a little misty eyed. Rest well, President Lincoln. You and all the men who gave your lives in the name of freedom for those who had been denied it for so long absolutely deserve it.
Very interesting to hear about how Teddy and Woodrow saw their respective presidents, rather symbolic/Poetic when you realize the kind of Presidents those two would become.
49:10 Thank you so much for saying this. I watch a lot of these Civil War videos because I enjoy the history and whenever they reference the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments, they never include even so much as a sentence to make it clear that these amendments weren't nearly enough to bring Black Americans into freedom. Some history reactors even fail to mention it. "It was clear the fight for equality would continue" is doing sooo much heavy lifting. This has to be said if we are to try and summarize the lasting effects of the Civil War.
The fact that you were willing to go back and refine a video upon which you do not receive a dime is so clear how much this community means to you. We love you for it! Also, would love to see a video where you share your family tree. I find it fascinating that you have slaves in your ancestry and would love to learn more. It’s a story of lineage that isn’t told enough.
My husband was born and raised in Mississippi. He says they were always taught the fall of Vicksburg was the beginning of the end for the South. I was born and raised in Indiana and if Vicksburg was ever mentioned, it was in passing.
What an incredible hard life Lincoln had, I'm glad he's recognized by history as one of the greatest americans ever, because had some battles gone the other way, another much different story would have been told. Greetings from Argentina.
Best reactor ever, I’ve said this once and I’ll say it again,
Yes. Best reactor. The fusion type.
Found you a couple weeks ago and I've spent probably too many hours watching. But dang these are so entertaining and you knowledge and speaking voice is so good! Also figured I throw this in- please do Joan of Arc at some point. Have a great day!
My dad’s ancestor was a member of the 2nd U.S. Army Sharpshooters Division, while my aunt’s ancestor a Confederate infantry man who passed down his musket down to each generation, and it still works properly
The army has definitely simplified ranks over time. No more tech-sergeants for example. But they still have some tricks. I couldn't be made Sergeant at one point when it was desired by the powers that be, so I was laterally promoted to Corporal. Other E-4s were above me in time in service, but now I was technically above them as a Non-Comissioned Officer E-4. Lincoln just using the system to get his boy Grant where he wants him. Like a boss. 😎
I'm calling bullshit dude, that's not how enlisted promotion works in any service, ever. Tech Sergeants stopped being used before you were born in both the Army (1948) and Marine Corps (1958), and you weren't Air or Space force, as they don't use plain old corporal. Getting promoted to SGT of any kind from PFC is impossible in any condition but combat, and I doubt you saw that kind of action, if any at all. Be proud of your service dude, but don't fucking lie, that's called Stolen Valor and I know a few real vets who will knock you on your ass for it.
@@archibaldlarid3587 Like I said, they stopped using tech Sergeants. I went from E-4 specialist to E-4 Corporal. Cool your jets. Privates top out at E-3. That's why it's called a lateral promotion. Moving sideways, not up. But now you're an NCO. (The lowest NCO, but still the highest E-4)
Also, I'd like to add that this channel is all about discussion and learning. I take no offense to the comment. I was merely offering an example of how the military still has ways to bend rules without breaking them when they feel it may be beneficial. Example being I served at Cashe North in Iraq, and congress recently changed the rules to allow Cashe to be eligible for the medal of honor, which he deserves. But that only happened because of pressure from the military.
Something interesting that I think went unremarked around 49:10 was under that death statistic where it says "two-thirds from disease." I'm not well enough read on the war to expand much on that, but I think in all the talk we give to how bloody the battles were, the role of disease in the war often goes woefully undertold.
I think World War I was actually the first major conflict in human history where more people died in combat than from disease. If you look at medieval wars especially, the percentage of deaths from disease is insane. Look at the 30 years War for example.
I’m a young history nerd & I’ve scrolled thru a lot of TH-cam channels that are history based, & this guy is hands down one of my favorites
I feel the same way... We're so fortunate to have found this channel thanks for all the entertainment and education 😇
@@robinvdl7563 high level edutainment indeed
Like before Fredericksburg, there were a lot of insults hurled back and forth between opposing soldiers before Chancellorsville. The best one I know of was when a Union soldier commented on the shabbiness of the Confederates' uniformed, to which one southern soldier shouted back, "We'uns don't wear our best clothes to slaughter hogs," which elicited laughter on both sides.
If I remember correctly, I once read that there was a Union soldier in the theater balcony with President Lincoln, and the 2 were good friends. He also almost stopped the assassination of President Lincoln, if John Wilkes Booth had been a little slower and not so careful in his movements and timing. So wracked with what might be a form of survivor's guilt at not stopping the assassination of his good friend, he ultimately commuted suicide.
Major Henry Rathbone. He actually killed his wife and tried to kill his children before trying unsuccessfully to kill himself. He ended up in an insane asylum. So, strangely, of the five people in the Presidential box that night, 3 were shot to death and the other two ended up in asylums.
@@VloggingThroughHistory Thank you for telling me that. I read about him years ago, so it's understandable I would mess up details. A real tragedy for those 4 people. All they wanted to do was have some fun, but instead their lives were changed forever.
Your and Oversimplified's videos are playing big role for me on getting max point on exam.

Thanks!
AP history alumni here now w a doctorate.... Good call
5:27 Fun fact: Gen. Hooker's troops tended to be followed by an entourage of, erm, _"female entertainers"_ mockingly called "Hooker's Army".
Contrary to popular belief though, this is _not_ where the colloquialism "hooker" comes from, as it has been documented being used before the Civil War.
Reading the second inaugural at the Lincoln Memorial was a very moving experience for me. I teared up and I was in my forties.
I live just miles away from Port Hudson Louisiana on the Mississippi river. It was the last fort to fall on the Mississippi . Interesting fact: to this day it remains the site of longest continuous siege in US history at 48 days.
Did you know that Grant and Lee went to the same military school
Yes as did the majority of generals on both sides.
24:45 Barton County, Kansas (in Central Kansas) was named after her. Clara Barton Hospital in Hoisington (in Barton County) was also named in her memory.
goddamn if only Lincoln had survived his assassination attempt. He might not have been the hero we remember today but due to his convictions and personality he certainly would've been a much better president than Andrew Johnson
Yeah imagine if they won without having Johnson on the ticket
I think it is actually very important to fill in any gaps or misconceptions and expand on popular history content with more detail or context in the popular history scene on TH-cam. Your channel is a great example of how reaction channels contribute to the discussion and help people put things in perspective. If you can engage kids and some adults to learn and love history than it is very valuable. I would say historical education is at an all-time Peak in terms of quality and engagement. Keep up the great work.
One interesting thing about Vicksburg (I live there) they didn’t celebrate the Fourth of July for almost 100 years after the surrender my grandfather told me stories of him not celebrating the 4th
My great great grandfather was in one of the union regiments in the area, and he told my grandfather that if anyone every tells you that they were at Appomattox that afternoon they are lying to you. He said that Grant and Lee went to a house that was away from all of the soldiers to have the surrender and that 99% of the soldiers were elsewhere, including him.
I love solid history content. I was a history major in college myself. Thank you so much for giving us quality content and giving so much information behind the events as well. Keep up the fantastic work.
Grant weeping after hearing the casualties taken just solidifies him as the 2nd best president in terms of character
Re: the video's end: Lincoln did not stand as a symbol, he very obviously sat as one.
Really loving these Reaction/Review style videos. Channels like Oversimplified and Bill Wurtz provide the outline, and you fill in the blanks. A very satisfying combination.
You sir, is amazing and really informative.
I'm from Bangladesh and am a business student. I don’t even fancy History.But everytime I see the notification of your video I get giddy. Hell,I won't be wrong if I were to say I know about American war history more than my own Motherland. Love these!
Oversimplified+VTH is tge best thing RIGHT NOW!!!
As a fellow Ohioan (Columbus) I had the privilege of doing a project on Sherman back in school years ago. I still say one can certainly make the argument that Sherman is one of if not THE most influential people in US history in determining the flow of our countries events as much as other figures such Lincoln, Grant, Washington etc… Not only did he talk Grant out of quitting like you mentioned prior but without his capture of Savanah and Atlanta, Lincoln very likely looses the re election bid and his successor cuts a deal with the Confederates. Crazy to think about how out timeline changes if either of those events with Grant or Lincoln play out. Just my opinion but pretty neat to think about. Nice to see ya give him some well deserved recognition. Keep up the great work!!!
After visiting the Gettysburg battlefield with my ROTC class it just gives so much more info on how crucial that battle was. I also love the info you add in these videos, they're extremely informational.
As a native myself I can say I agree and respect how Parker replied to Lee. Yes technically We were “Americans” first I guess but at that point there were natives who believed in the colonization of the lands and others who were just happy enough to at least be civil with the colonies, obviously some never wanted anything to do with any of the colonies but that’s a whole other story! I put my hands up to you sir, osiem❤️❤️🤲🏼 also love the content Chris, if you see this I’m currently trying to watch all of your videos!!!
I totally agree with you. Grant's Vicksburg campaign was brilliant. Way better than anything Lee did. The lost cause myth was terrible. Grant was done dirty.
If you have more resources of course you’re gunna look like you know how to supply your men better. Grant was fantastic, but better than anything Lee did? I’d argue winning outnumbered pitched battles is more impressive than strategically supply and movement outside of battle
@@fredbarker9201 At the same time, you also have to consider the stance that a lot of Lee's victories weren't necessarily because of great manuevers or anything Lee did.
The Union's incompetent leadership hurt them far more than Lee ever did, and one wonders if Lee would've ever truly distinguished himself if someone like Grant had helmed the northern offensive in the first place.
@@TheUndyingCrystal true McClellan was pretty poor
It has been years since I've read history books, watched lectures or seminars, or even watched history based videos. Thanks to you and your channel, that I discovered about two months ago, I have been reenthralled by history. I've listened to almost 25 hours of seminars and podcasts since then while I work and go to the gym and even started reading a hiatory books for the first time in years, thank you!
50 minutes of good knowledge from you is an ideal thing for a good sleep (it's 10.30 PM in Poland). Even if I watched your first reaction to this, I would probably watch every "reboot", that you would made. Have a nice day
My favorite quote about McClellan in the 1864 election is "McClellan was as good a politician as he was a general" Sums up McClellan pretty good I think.
TR sees Lincoln’s funeral, Wilson sees Jefferson Davis running away. Oddly fitting.
Absolutely love these videos and your content has become a perfect addition to Oversimplified's work!
As a Brit we don't learn much about the US civil war so it is really interesting to learn about it in such detail!
Let’s get this man to 1 mil suns for real, he deserves it 100%
One of my favorite movies from when I was young was Glory. Not sure how much the portrayal had with the actual war itself but was still a great movie...well I think it was at least It has been like 30 years since I have seen it.
I'm glad you decided to do a reboot on the first series I've watched on this channel. Thanks for posting!
I have an 1862 union rifle in my dads closet it’s so rusty but nice
I found your channel a few days ago and it’s very quickly become one of my favorites.
If anyone wants to see the actual chairs from Appamatox where Lee and Grant sat when Lee surrendered, it is at the Smithsonian Museum of American History in DC
10:15pm, vth uploads, 50 minutes long, and i have to get up early tomorrow
Well, there have to be priorities
Thanks for making the original still available, really appreciate it
It was the original reaction that brought me here to the channel way back when it came out! Glad it's still going strong - it's nice to be able to get extra background etc from someone who is so objective. Really high value content, keep it up!
just taking this moment to say thank you!!!!! The re-upload and such. I always appreciate the OG but sometimes you need more and so thank you
4:12 The tourist board in Vicksburg still has the slogan: Vicksburg, the key to the South!
21:15 Agree! Once Vicksburg was won by the Union, Gettysburg might even be inconsequential.
Dude, I liked history. With a combination of a good history teacher and your videos, I now love history. You're such an awesome guy, hands down!
I know ads may bug people, but a big thumbs up for leaving the ad in place for the creator. Those placements pay for the original creators to make their content, and while we may enjoy your input even more, we would not have it in the first place without those placements. Again, nicely done!
Honestly a bit back, the first introduction to your videos was the one with I believe your wife reacting to you reacting to a video. I watched the original reaction the next day, and haven’t stopped watching your channel since. I love how you break down videos and add info (usually right before they say it lol) as well as your travel videos. I’m with this channel as long as it keeps going. Love your work!
Appreciate that! Glad to have you.
I watched your part one reboot very attentively. Great insight. Here goes part two. 🍿
This was an amazing 2 part reaction I can't wait for reconstruction and possibly civil rights era reaction videos your insight into these videos was so great
I also want to mention that what “largest battle in American history” might be about what it meant to the United States. This battle is quite possibly the biggest reason the war went in Union favor, and created the conditions for support by the people.
But that could easily be described as most significant or symbolic. Largest, to many including myself, means quantity of people on the field.
I love this, thank you for the series, from an Englishman looking to learn more and more about this era in history.
George H. Pendleton was also son-in-law of Francis Scott Key
I never caught that before. Thanks for teaching me something new!
Dang now I want that buddy military enlists movie for Sherman and Grant. Action comedy though lol
For me I want a HBO style TV series for all the Union and Confederate generals who graduated from West Point.
Oh, we'll rally 'round the flag boys, we'll rally once again,

@@mikeor- That one didn't age quite so well.
Such a great video. Found the channel a few days ago and love the insight you bring to the Oversimplified videos. Thank You!
Thanks Brendan and welcome!
I’ve watched your oversimplified reaction videos a couple times now and I have to say thank you for all the true history lessons you give. Please keep it up.
This is random, but what the hay.
Top Three Presidents of All-Time.
1) George Washington - He turned down a monarchy, and set the presidence for all future presidencies.
2) Thomas Jefferson - Not only did he spearhead the Declaration of Independence, he also played a huge role in forging modern American politics for generations to come. Oh. And he doubled the size of The United States, on the cheap. (Napolian just needed some $$$!)
3) Abraham Lincoln - Despite all odds, he helped us finally tackle the 800lbs gorilla in the room. Since 1776, it had been kicked down the road.
🤔
Amazing channel. As a history junkie I'm glad for the videos you make, they're very informative and I learn something from each video. Blessings!
The extra info you provide during the video is very welcomed. It helps add additional detail to the situations in the video
As a person who will have a bachelor's in history this coming semester, i enjoy your videos for two reasons. I watch oversimplified's video and then I get a fellow historians input on history which expands my knowledge of history even further. Thank you
48:40 he brings up an excellent point on how if he had been put on trial and they ruled that succession would be legal. It would lead to the Judicial Precedence of succession which would be dangerous. A small price to pay for salvation.
I always tear up when I see the funeral procession part with the somber music and on through the beautiful words at the end.
Very true, the first “reaction video” was my first intro into your channel. I’m still here and loving your channel even more!
I grew up 30 minutes from Gettysburg and that battle is all we learned. It's so nice to get this in depth, more honest, video about the war. This is far more interesting than anything I was taught in school.
I love this channel and all it’s taught me about history, thank you and it’s easily one of the best channels on this platform
I absolutely love watching your videos because i always get to learn something new about history
Im glad you will have your original version being able to watch, just to show the growth of how you made content over time :)
I think I watched the originals like yesterday. Oh well. Such an interesting topic. Oversimplified is great and your expansion is the icing on the cake. Thank you for the great content!
Greetings from Singapore 😊 I love your channel!!! ❤️
I love the little snippets of info that you give along the video! Thank you ❤️
Lincoln’s death sounds terrifying. Imagine after so much turmoil for so long, just laughing and having a good time with your wife and friends and then everything just goes to black. That’s where it all ends. Not knowing how things turned out after all your work
I love your idea of re-doing these videos. I remember a year or so ago getting frustrated when you talked over the video. I can’t wait to watch them all again and enjoy them even more.
I find it amazing just how many people don’t understand how TH-cam monetization works. Like Chris said, it is completely out of his control.
Found out a few years ago that I”m related to Sherman by marriage. Ewing’s are from my grandmother’s side of the family. Kind of interesting.
I am a student at a law school that I would have never gotten into if it weren’t for teachers/professors like you! Thank you for your passion and knowledge. Your videos get me through all of my exam periods and I expect they’ll get me through rough days in my career. Thank you for everything you do!
Anybody wanting to learn about history or even history teachers/knowledgeable people should watch Oversimplified. Such a great way to learn about history and it’s not boring like how it’s sometimes taught in history classes where it’s long winded. Oversimplified makes it so entertaining and you actually learn something. I love seeing history teachers like Mr. Terry and yourself sir. Keep doing what you do! All here for it!
