After looking time and again, I still can't find anything on TH-cam as good as Warhawks videos in regards to civil war battles. I would love to see more content at this level, but it seems the only recourse is waiting for warhawk to put out more. Tysm for your work making these.
Discovered you recently, enjoying the attention to detail and the quotes that bookend the different chapters. One minor gripe: cavalry is pronounced CAV-alry not CAL-vary.
This is the finest work I’ve ever seen on the Battle of Williamsburg! Great job work Warhawk. This is amazing. I hope to see a Battle of Green Springs and Siege of Yorktown 1781. Those would have great success if made by you. Again, thank you for this!
Thank you for this fantastic, detailed video! Do you know by any chance where Union medical personnel would be at the time? Would the nurses have been closer to the battlefield or still in Yorktown?
It’s crazy cause where I live is literally on the grounds of all do this (quarterpath area of Williamsburg) there’s a park behind my neighborhood called redoubt park and that’s were half the redoubts are that blocked fort magruder part of the old fort is now a hotel and the fence used for the hotel was build during the war
From where do you source your excellent battlefield maps? The Peninsula Campaign battles are an especially egregious example of how urban sprawl has covered up a lot of old Civil War Battlefields. Many of these places, you simply cannot visit... like Beaver Dam Creek: it's under a big box store and a mall. And a significant part of Seven Pines is paved over by the town of Sandston and Richmond International Airport. Just a damn shame, is what it is.
Nice all parts together. I wonder if McClellan was political or afraid of being Napoleon of 1812 in Russia because clealry the Little Napoleon got his head.
Seems to me that the Union at this phase under Lil Mac was constantly hampered by indecisive commanders, more worried about things they could not control then effective decisive orders. Sumner in particular was not suited to this sort of command, the constant changing his mind and dithering as thousands of men struggled to even move in the mud was an embarrasement. The South could have been routed in this fight had there been decent coordination, and a willingness by the Union generals to act boldly. Instead the whole fight was poorly administered, and once again Hancock is the only one who understood what was happening in front of him.
Ofcourse, however if they did live in the town of Winchester during the war years it may be hard to find written evidence. (might have been destroyed, mostly fires) furthermore the town is still there and has a rich historical society and city hall still has the cities records prior and post war in archive. Also there are several genealogy folks in and near Winchester that focus of soldiers
I understand the confidantes successfully used this battle to allow for the withdrawal of their army, however it seems like a choke point and defensible position. Why did they not defend this position in a more determined way? Were they concerned about another Union army coming from the North to cut them off?
They took too many losses at the end. When they got lost in the woods and got wiped. Surrounded in two sides and outnumbered. The CSA withdrew. Mclellan finally joined the battle anyways towards the end and so the CSA was now outnumbered. Had mclellan not joined the battle it would have been much easier to hold longer for the CSA
@@F1lmtwit You show me ONE violation of the Constutution by the CSA and I'll give you TEN by the government of the USA. Not your opinion, but the LAW of the Constitution! Go ahead and prove your claim! I already have mine ready and waiting!
@@MGTOWPaladin levying war against the USA is pretty much the definition of Treason. End of Story. Oh yeah, the CSA also killed 1st amendment by killing Freedom of Speech and the Press. So why do you hate USA?
@@F1lmtwit Since secession is LEGAL under the Constitution - no restriction listed in Article 1 Section 10, the Union ILLEGALLY INVADED South Carolina and then Virginia. Virginia, New York and Rhode Island ACKNOWLEDGED their right to secede in their RATIFICATION letters of the "new" Constitution. The Bill of Rights which you quoted are restrictions on the US Federal Government (NOT THE STATES). The Constitution never would have been ratified without it. So far, you are batting ZERO! You may now try again!
You know it's bad when McClellan is the aggressive one
Here we go again into battles I have no clue about, time to learn something
It just a combination of the two previous videos for those who want to watch it an entire sitting!

An admirable unit-level portrayal of a battle about which I had very little prior knowledge. Thank you.
Had to rewatch these vids again. Putting together my own playlist on the Peninsula. Can't seem to get enough of these vids. Thanks. Cheers.
Another video that puts History channel to shame
Keep up the content! 🇺🇸
Thank you Frederick!
@@WarhawkYT Continue your work and I'll consider that even
Damn, I really love this McClellan guy. I sure hope he doesn’t become a traitor and irredeemably ruin his reputation later on
Again very well done video, i am very excited to see some of the major battles of the Peninsula campaign.
Thanks Jack!
Great coverage of the battle the map ties together the narration and the amazing maps
Thanks CWWBW!

After reading Longstreet's confusing account, this was a perfect supplement.
Thanks for calling us Michiganders. Most out of state people call us Michiganians. We are Michiganders and proud of it.

we post all our sources in the description
Great video
Thanks John!
So close to 10k! 100% deserved
I Know!! We're excited!
I love your videos.😇 @11:28 you say"spiritual resistance" you meant spirited.
I reenact with the 19th Virginia, and Williamsburg is where our regiment won its first set of battle honors.
The music score is very nice, where does it Come from ?

I love your great content. Love from germany

Thanks...l just Sub'ed to you awesome channel...!
Where do you find all this information?
Wonder if this Hancock fellow is going places in his career.
Doubt it, the Second Corps won't undergo any changes in the next two years.
Hopefully he doesnt rise to an important position where he can play a vital role on Day 3 of the Battle of Gettysburg
It would be nice with the year in the title so when you click on a video you have some idea about where you are in the war.
Good stuff
SO CLOSE TO 10K SUBS
Video Good.

Is there a reason why this video is unlisted?
not released yet, im not that worried about keeping it secret because its just a combination of the two Williamsburg videos
@@WarhawkYT Okay.
Is there a way we can find out if our relatives were in the civil war they lived in Winchester

Would sound 10x better without the A.I. voice over.
Totally agree, AI sucks, why would people use Ai
THE PRICE OF FREEDOM
The price of Union greed and Constitution violation by tyrannical government.
You talking about the Battle of Fort Magruder? 2280 Union dead. 1560 Confederate.
