What a treat to sit in on this excellent 5 part class with Prof. Gallagher, the "Sledge-O-Matic" of Civil War historians. ;-)
THANK YOU for allowing this to be posted!

Mr. Gallagher is a national treasure.
Fantastic series.
My family visited Gettysburg in 1995. My biggest "Oh wow!" moment was standing at foot of the NW face of Cemetery Hill and thinking, damn that is one tall hill. Being at the top it felt a long way down as well, though the trees blocked the view held by the Union men in 1863. I can still feel how impressive it was and ever since I feel a deeper understanding of why Ewell found attacking it "impracticable."
indy_go_blue60 I haven been but I think going there is the only way to get a true perspective. It’s just impossible to gauge the scale of things on a tv screen. I wish I could go now but the rangers aren’t doing battle walks because of the virus nonsense
@@JohnnyRebKy We went in April and didn't have any guide, battle walks, etc. It might have been better with them, but it was still a great experience. I'd recommend it for anyone and everyone. Also Antietam which is still next to a small town and without all the commercialism.
Wonderful.
I haven’t listened to a complete college lecture since I graduated college 13 years ago.
Listened to parts 1-5 and enjoyed it a great deal. Didn’t agree with everything but that’s what makes america great.
I have listened to all of these, multiple times (been going to sleep listening to them for maybe 3 weeks now).
I am surprised to hear that so many of the students speak English with thick accents. They are obviously from a variety of different countries. Sounds like half are "foreigners".
I'm curious about why they would be so interested in a strictly American war.
At Gettysburg it appears that Lee had not yet fully realized just how much his past successes were the result of Jackson, and that it was only Jackson who he could give vague orders
Gen. Jackson was the only corp. general to whom Lee could give vague orders and expect them carried out successfully.Jackson was Lee’s right arm and Stuart was his left arm and eyes, he had neither one at Gettysburg! Hence, the great loss. When Grant arrived to face Lee it was like the house was burning down behind him while he was fighting the fire on the porch. But Gen. Lee had spent much time at the beginning fortifying the borders of the south.
I like General Pickett's Cafe.
Ate there last week
4/13/20 I'd like to eat at any buffet today; most everything is closed here d/t Wuhan quarantine.
To recognize a good opportunity is just as important as receiving one!!Then to make the most of it as soon as possible not practicable!!
Meade was very aware that Lee was a master of digging in and defending. Lee was an engineer. After 3 days of fighting I don’t think Meade was crazy enough to hurl his army at Lee’s dug in Troops. We know they wasn’t dug in, but Meade didn’t know that. Of course a few days later Lee really was dug in along the river and an attack by Meade would have been a bloodbath. Meade had finally planned an attack after constant pressure from Washington but called it off due to heavy rain. The next day Lee was gone. Meade was likely relieved and I can’t fault or blame Meade for that. Look what they had been through!
I understand Lincoln's frustration; it's like Billy up on Little Round Top crying "twice! Would you believe it twice!" but what did Meade face? He lost 3 corps commanders, 2 of them his best most aggressive men. His 1st, 11th and 3rd Corps were shattered; the 2cd and 5th badly shot up and his 12th also in fairly bad shape. The AoP was low on ammo and other supplies. Then it rained. And rained. And rained. Playing "Ultimate General" or any other computer game doesn't show how difficult it was to move even a corps over 19th C roads when they turn to mud. Maybe Meade should've got a few thousand men killed trying to attack Lee's line, he could've said "I tried anyway." Surely Grant would've done the same thing at least several times like at Spotsylvania.
indy_go_blue60 I love that game ultimate General!! It’s a blast 👍🏼. And yes although it’s just a game it does shed some light how hard it is to just move troops around in a orderly fashion over rough terrain
Yes, not to even mention that there were tens of thousands of wounded and dying men back in the area of Gettysburg!!❤️

At 58:51 I think you are thinking of Chamberlain's wound, not Hancock.
Definitely Hancock. Chamberlain, a regimental commander, received two minor wounds and he remained in commander where Hancock was out until March of 1864
I do not think Hancock nicked his urethrea, that would be news to me anyway. Chamberlain did at Petersburg.
+Susan Natale if I recall, the nail hit something of his urinary track from the bullet that busts his saddle. Regardless, both get injured like this about a year apart
Got a source for that?
+Susan Natale www.brotherswar.com/Gettysburg-3e.htm. Not a great source, but a start. Caldwell's report plus Elmira Hancock's writings give a detailed account of the probing and later discovery of the nail about eight inches in his body
Why didn’t Lincoln order Meade to immediately pursue a casualty burdened Lee after day 3? Meade had a corps that did not see any action and possibly pin Lee against the swollen Potomac?
Lincoln pretty much did order Meade to attack. After several days Meade finally planned an attack but it was called off until the next day due to heavy rain. The next day they found Lee had crossed the river and was gone
