- Explore some of the sites that are home to the last battles of the American Civil War. Our journey begins on April 8th, 1865 when the Union attempt to capture Confederate supply trains at Appomattox Station. Then we explore the grounds of the final battle of the Civil War for the Army of Northern Virginia. Confederate forces would attempt to break through the Union lines to try and reach reinforcements to the west. These actions would result in losses for the Confederates and would force General Lee to surrender to General Grant.

Many thanks for this well presented visual of those final days. Much appreciated and so worthy of never forgetting.
Thanks for tuning in! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Very good, with great visuals as well as context about the final day,
I appreciate that. Thanks for watching. I personally felt that this was one of my rougher videos editing wise. I’d like to think I’ve improved since this.
My wife and I have stopped by that little cemetery several times over the years. There is, or at least was a picnic area near there. I too have noticed that one man's grave and remember commenting on him having fought through the entire war, only to die in the final charge. Thanks for the video. Very well done.
I'll have to tell you about my wife's "ghost experience" at Sayler's Creek sometime.
I appreciate you watching. That story was gut wrenching. War is a terrible thing.
Please allow a correction. You kept saying "Calvary" which is where Christ was crucified. It's "Cavalry" the placement of the L is different. I realized that I once did the same thing!
Thanks for the input. That’s a habit I got to change. Thanks for watching!
I didn't want to be the one to say it but +1, it was driving me crazy the whole way through.
Narrator also says Custard instead of Custer quite a few times.
If you’re not making mistakes you’re not learning 🤷♂️
Thanks for watching!
That was very informative. We hear about the surrender but not much on the last gasps of resistance
Appreciate you watching!
New to your channel and going through and watching all the great content. What I liked and found really interesting is the story of the Alabamian soldier who fought the entire war only to die hours before it ended and just a few yards from where it ended. These individual stories really help bring home the personal aspect and impacts of the war. Keep up the good work!!!
I’m glad to hear you found my channel and you’re enjoying it. Thanks for taking the time to comment. That story was heartbreaking to learn about and shows the sad reality of war. Appreciate the kind words 🤙
