    The 1913 Gettysburg reunion was a Gettysburg Battlefield encampment of American Civil War veterans for the Battle of Gettysburg's 50th anniversary. The June 29-July 4 gathering of 53,407 veterans (~8,750 Confederate)[1] was the largest ever Civil War veteran reunion, and "never before in the world's history [had] so great a number of men so advanced in years been assembled under field conditions" (Chief Surgeon).[2]:60 All honorably discharged veterans in the Grand Army of the Republic and the United Confederate Veterans were invited, and veterans from 46 of the 48 states attended.
    Despite official concerns "that there might be unpleasant differences, at least, between the blue and gray"] (as after England's War of the Roses and the French Revolution),the peaceful reunion was repeatedly marked by events of Union-Confederate camaraderie.[8] President Woodrow Wilson's July 4 reunion address summarized the spirit: "We have found one another again as brothers and comrades in arms, enemies no longer, generous friends rather, our battles long past, the quarrel forgotten-except that we shall not forget the splendid valor."

    If these old soldiers can come together with the show of love and respect for one another that they had, who are we to refuse that continued honor? I think that's the sentiment among all native southerners and why we believe in the cherished memory of their bravery...both sides, blue and gray, black and white. Don't erase history. Remember, so it never happens again.

      The Blumpkin/Toth back-and-forth was interesting, and I find factual truth in both positions. I also find what I've been taught about that war to make logical sense. It was started by the wealthy, politically powered class of Southern gentry that were interested in their own self-interests of independence, an interest which included the evils of slavery, among others having to do with maintaining their wealth and power.
      Yes it's true that the vast majority of soldiers fighting for the Confederacy were not slave owners. They weren't people that could afford slaves. Many couldn't afford to own a dog. How did they end up in the military? Conscription. That draft, that they had no money to make themselves either being left out of, or officer's commission to be bought into. And if they didn't cowtow to it, their families were threatened by the military that existed under orders from that wealthy ruling class. They were realistic, not just rebellious. Once in, they would fight to protect their neighbors with the belief that they were also stopping their homeland from invasion.
      This was just as prevalent in the North, which caused riots against the draft.
      All this is of fascinating study and it's lessons never to be forgotten as a path to avoid in the future. There are, or were, those great monuments in Richmond that lauded Confederate leaders and military officials, but there is also a monument there that cherishes the memory of Arthur Ashe. That's what attitude I think we should take. Not the destruction of older remembrances but the addition of newer ones.

We also have men in uniform today who risk their lives still & have even given the ultimate sacrifice. These men are exemplary of courageous manhood & fighting in defense, even if a system that encouraged slavery & injustice.

    I've wondered for a long time what the yell sounded like. Its great to hear these Confederate Veterans giving us an example. As a lifelong Southerner, I'm proud of those men and our heritage. These men fought for state's rights and make no mistake about it, the U.S. Constitution was and is a state's rights document. The Founding Fathers of the United States believed that each state was sovereign and each state had the right to determine its own destiny. That's the reason why we have state governments. Secession was legal and we the people still have that right!

      @@guidototh6091 In his first inaugural address, Abraham Lincoln promised chattel slavery more protection than the institution had ever had. He promised enforcement of the fugitive slave law. He even proposed a constitutional amendment that would have protected the institution of slavery; but South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas seceded even with Lincoln's promises of protection. Virginia, Arkansas, North Carolina and Tennessee seceded because they considered the invasion of the "deep south" unconstitutional and reprehensible. When Lincoln called for troops from the 4 above mentioned states and Missouri and Kentucky, all of those states refused. Virginia, Arkansas, North Carolina and Tennessee seceded and joined the Confederacy. Missouri and Kentucky remained in the Union, but there was representation in the Confederate Congress from Kentucky and Missouri, as well as the Oklahoma, Arizona and New Mexico territories. The main reason for Southern secession was the Morrill Tariff, a protectionist tariff that was a main plank in the Republican Party's platform for the Presidential election of 1860. It meant higher taxes for manufactured goods made in the North and sold in the South. The Republicans were for raising tariff rates and had the votes in Congress to do so. Tariff rates for Northern manufactured goods had been a sore spot for Southerners for years. Slavery became an issue due to Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, but it was not the cause of the Civil War or Southern secession.

    • @danielcrowe9324
      @danielcrowe9324 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      @@guidototh6091 This is a portion of a letter published in August, 1862 by Abraham Lincoln in response to an editorial by Horace Greeley, editor of the New York Tribune: "My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that." One month later, Lincoln issued his preliminary Emancipation Proclamation, which is viewed by many historians as nothing more than a war measure. Moving on, the following was published in the New Orleans Daily Crescent five days before Louisiana seceded: "They (Southern states) know that it is their import trade that draws from the people's pockets 60 or 70 millions of dollars per annum, in the shape of duties, to be expended in the North, and in the protection and encouragement of Northern interests...These are the reasons why these people do not wish the South to secede from the Union. They (North) are enraged at the prospect of being despoiled of the rich feast upon which they have so long fed and fattened, and which they were just getting ready to enjoy with still greater gout and gusto." Also, the "invasion" as you said I call it (and yes, I did) was an invasion. The states in the deep South had left the Union. When armed forces are sent into a territory that has removed itself from a political confederation and has placed itself under another confederation, that is an invasion.

    Wow best footage ever. To actually see Confederate Civil War veterans as living, moving figures instead of just pictures is simply breathtaking. It was almost like I knew those old timers. We’ve all been around older fellas like that at one time or another and to see those fellas that were actual civil war veterans, its just hard to put into words.What a video.

    I heard an anecdote once by a Confederate vet who said that he couldn't do a proper rebel yell with a full belly and a mouth full of false teeth. I think I heard it from Shelby Foote on one of his many interviews. These veterans are giving it their best.

He was also involved in the raids around Holly Springs MS in an effort to disrupt Gen. Grant’s supply lines.

    I don't know how much truth there is to this, but I read a story once of a civil war reunion at Gettysburg when the attending Confederates decided they wanted to walk the field that so many of their brothers had fallen to their demise in. As they started the long walk across the field, the northern veterans saw what was taking place and shouted out that the Confederates didn't make it all the way back then, be damned if they'll make it all the way today! It seems like it was said that there was a couple of fist fights occurred over the incident. As I stated I don't know that this was factual or not, but it does show the spirit of the true veterans. God bless the veterans on both sides!

    I read a book about this one a few years ago. It's good to see the movies, to this point I had seen only the photos. I had one 2nd great grandfather in the fight at Gettysburg, 44th Alabama Infantry. I have 4 great grandfathers who fought in the Civil War, two on the Union, two on the Confederate side. Thankfully, all of them lived through it. Two of them were at Vicksburg, on either side, and the Confederate, from the 41st Georgia Infantry, was a POW for a couple days before they paroled them. Of the others, one was with the 6th Regiment TN Cavalry and the other was 30th Illinois Infantry.

    Many of the northern veterans and people up north came to realize that although their Federal Govt may have prevailed militarily with the overwhelming numbers and resources; yet, both sides lost. Some of the Southern veterans remained bitter and rightly so with all that they had lost despite the sacrifices that they made. Some northerners remains very arrogant about their supposed victory. Veterans on both sides gained respect for their adversaries.
