20th Maine regiment had fucking balls of steel, zero ammo left and about to get flanked so they fix bayonets and charge like hell. to be fair the Confederate regiments had literally just walked 20 miles to get this without stopping to fill canteens or anything.
I did a move once ...a highschool trained wrestler had me pinned cold. I had no options ,checkmate ...but I noticed one thing ,we were on a sharp incline ...I thought what the heck and rolled us both down and while rolling broke free ...he didn't see it coming . What this has to do with the civil war your guess is as good as mine 😅
It was the fact that despite numerous assaults, and the losses taken...that the rebels see a mass of Union blue coming down on them. Its a shock and awe factor that caused the attack to finally break.
I also had relayives who fouhht on both sides in the civil war. Cooks ,lees ,and odays and ocooks also .whars sad even now is the fact theybwere all americans .of course immigrants in search of a better life .
that is the whole point of a battle flag, same as the confederates, the absolute ignorance of anyone who thinks that the confederate battle flag had any political meaning whatsoever is an ignoramous.
How can you stand it? This is not factual, nor real, nor believable. THERE WAS NO ORCHESTRA playing at Little Round Top. And the noisy bar stewards just kept playing. It loses all credibility with that one thing. I have got to 2:52, but no more, and I won't watch Pt 4.
The west side of Little Round Top had been recently logged in 1863 so it was quite open when the battle was fought. The Parks service maintains it that way today. The 20TH Maine was fighting on the south east slope which was (and is) fully wooded. The Devil's Den is about 1/4 mile west of the 20TH Mane marker on the other side of a creek called Plum Run. The whole area is covered with large granite boulders. LRT, Devil's Den, and the Wheatfield all are in a square about 3/4 of a mile on a side.
Well what sucks is that they the Confederates did dispatch a group of guys with a huge portion of their canteens to go fill up but Union cavalry intercepted them. So even when they did come to this tiny stream right by Little Round top no one had anything to store the small amount of water that was there. I'd suggest going to Gettysburg if you ever get a chance, gives you a real feel for what went on during those three days.
I went there last year. It’s hard to explain that place in my opinion I went on the ghost tours too!! It was in oct so it was all over town. Some real hunted stuff over there.
Was up there some years ago with a lady friend. I remember there were markings among the piled up stones to signify the flanks and infantry lines. Little round top is definitely my favorite part of the battlefield.
they should have showed the part of the battle were custer fought jeb stuarts cavalry, that would of added much more awsomeness to an already awsome movie
Every one on this hill had fucking balls of TITANIUM. The 20th maine had like 350 men , so they had little reserve. The confederates had to march around 10-30 miles in the past 2 days, THEN they had to take Devil's Den, THEN they charged up the hill THREE times.
they weren't fellow americans during the civil war dummy. they were citizens of their own so called "country", the confederate states of america. we (the union) were fighting in order to preserve the union and have those same exact confederate soldiers we were fighting against to once again become our fellow countrymen.
It's interesting that I've found the same result though the times I've visited the location the park's service informed me that none of the scenes were filmed there but different sources i've found have said otherwise. Also i've been to little round top several times and the hill is more akin to a cliff, almost nothing like the hill shown.
"to be fair the Confederate regiments had literally just walked 20 miles to get this without stopping to fill canteens or anything." i assume you just felt like reading the first half of the post then? Though to say that either side was braver than the other would be completely foolish.
@elvishskills The biggest balls could go to either side. The Confederates still had about a mile to go when they lost their canteens and came across only 1 small stream to lap up water from. Then they had to climb a slope of about 100+ feet to fight a deeply entrenched force. Even worse was the fact that the fields were filled with dead and injured soldiers from the past days of fighting, so they had to deal with that. It was a crazy 3 days.
So much anti-American sentiment in the last ten years, I'd forgotten that's a sentiment I should expect from my neighbours to the south. Thank you for the reminder.
@TMPolimeno if you are talking about the Union soldiers who were pushed into devils den, that was there fault, at least in the movie, they formed in front of the wall instead of taking cover behind it, if they had a better position then maybe they wouldn't have broken when their CO was shot off his horse.
@elvishskills I don't know how the confeds even fought after marching so long and not filling their canteens, hell after a 5km march and no water its terrible.
This is one of the most beautiful movies ever made. The thought that men would give all they had for an idea is amazing in today's world. Every time I watch this film I cry for the bravery and devotion that men on both sides felt.
Well, if you thought it was amazing, just hang on a little while. If Trump wins or loses, there will be Civil War 2.0, started by the Poopy Pants, his Oath Breakers, and those fake Pwoud Bwoys.
@viking1960 This is very true, just came back from Gettysburg this weekend and walked near the battlefields and on little round top and big round top. Learned a lot. It should be pointed out that Little Round Top is a ginormous hill with a ridiculous incline, much worse than what you see in the movie. It's akin to a cliff. Furthermore after hiking all that time, a regiment is sent with the majority of the canteens to go find water, then where captured by Union cavalry.
That video was the top of little round top looking down onto Devil's Den which was an entirely different part of the battlefield (Devil's Den was around 5 miles away). Little Round Top was as densely forested as shown in the movie
to clarify for the first three years of the war, the goal was not to free the slaves, conversely generals were instructed to not free slaves and even send them back to their masters . several generals were replaced for disobeying this order. the emancipation proclamation didn't really do much of anything to end slavery , in reality it was a means to deprive the south of an asset.. slaves in the south were a massive asset.
... -_- they didn't attack the cliff part of the hill, but if you go to the otherside of that hill you see it looks exacly like here, they attacked on the other side were 20th main were stationed because they couldn't attack the cliff part.. get your facts straight boy ;)
@elvishskills Lincoln might not have been an abolitionist, but he actually DID care about the slaves. Of course, being an intelligent politician, he knew that he had neither the power nor the backing to free slaves at the beginning of the war. He DID have morals, and like Chamberlain he believed that the slaves were actually human beings who had as much right to human treatment as the white men.
That's odd because from what I read in my comment I didn't say they had balls of steel for sitting and shooting at them behind a wall. I said they had balls of steel for fixing bayonets and charging like hell without any hope for extra ammunition. Try reading sometime kiddo.
he was still a traitor if you count opposing the people in power same as being a treason. i am not saying Washington was a traitor, i am just saying we all have rights to oppose and rebel if necessary against people in power;
@elvishskills Thanks for at least being fair to the Confederates. Alot of Northerners don't give the Southern Army their due. We had balls of steel too.
Well, if they did, they chose their location and camera angles very, very carefully! Here is the view from the center of the round top position: /watch?v=KDY2cBVJa3c&feature=related . Open ground all the way, and you will observe modest, not high, gradient and elevation.
@EpicTrollBeastMan - Correct, it was a war between self-righteous businessmen and the greedy, traitorous aristocracy/planters. But the South definitely did not fight for a noble cause.
Thinly wooded is a bit strong of a term. Also of course it's not going to look like a carbon copy of the actual battle grounds as you aren't legally allowed to film at the real location due to it being hallowed ground. Lastly if you suddenly decided you don't like the entire 4 hour movie based on the fact that the battle of little round top was filmed on a slightly different looking hill then you're not doing it right.

We can't let anything like that happen ever again. 150 years ago and still the bloodiest war for America.
Give it time
Terrible for all involved...Organized...yet Killing in a terrible act for all of we Service Men
I think the move to “refuse the line” is where my heart swells the most
This is why it is still taught at West Point as small unit tactics.
I also had relayives who fouhht on both sides in the civil war. Cooks ,lees ,and odays and ocooks also .whars sad even now is the fact theybwere all americans .of course immigrants in search of a better life .
The Stars and Bars were the flag of North Carolina.
that is the whole point of a battle flag, same as the confederates, the absolute ignorance of anyone who thinks that the confederate battle flag had any political meaning whatsoever is an ignoramous.
don't be long Thomas Chamberlain
@elvishskills That just goes to show when you have Americans versus Americans, you're gonna have one stubborn fight on your hands lol.
@elvishskills yeah and the 20th maine marched 28
6 15 alsome and 7 03
buster you all right?
@TheJasoncredible68
He had better, from what I can see here the the Confederates had a really fast respawn time
misfire
How can you stand it? This is not factual, nor real, nor believable. THERE WAS NO ORCHESTRA playing at Little Round Top. And the noisy bar stewards just kept playing. It loses all credibility with that one thing. I have got to 2:52, but no more, and I won't watch Pt 4.

I've made that climb. I had ancestors on both sides of this fight.

It was in oct so it was all over town.
Some real hunted stuff over there.
@@timnash7296it’s on my bucket list
Was up there some years ago with a lady friend. I remember there were markings among the piled up stones to signify the flanks and infantry lines. Little round top is definitely my favorite part of the battlefield.
QuiteRight Sir
Lost more men in 3 days than in all of the Vietnam war. That’s North & South. 😢
I was getting so into this, I forgot I was watching a TH-cam Video and not the movie
This scene was different in the movie.
In my opinion, it should be every person's dream never to fight against another person, no matter where they're from.
they should have showed the part of the battle were custer fought jeb stuarts cavalry, that would of added much more awsomeness to an already awsome movie
The weapons were way ahead of the tactics. Everyone probably would have lost fewer troops if the tactics were up to speed.
Every one on this hill had fucking balls of TITANIUM. The 20th maine had like 350 men , so they had little reserve. The confederates had to march around 10-30 miles in the past 2 days, THEN they had to take Devil's Den, THEN they charged up the hill THREE times.
It was unreal what both sides did!
"We were never whipped before, and we never wanted to meet the 20th Maine again."
The colonel must have the unlimited ammo/no reload cheat enabled.
😂😂😂😂
they weren't fellow americans during the civil war dummy. they were citizens of their own so called "country", the confederate states of america. we (the union) were fighting in order to preserve the union and have those same exact confederate soldiers we were fighting against to once again become our fellow countrymen.
love the shot at 5:20, especially the guy pushing his way through to shoot his rifle

4:35 "What. What?! WHAT?!"...this has been my favorite historical war movie since I saw it when I was 10, but that part always made me chuckle.
So much anti-American sentiment in the last ten years, I'd forgotten that's a sentiment I should expect from my neighbours to the south. Thank you for the reminder.

150 years ago today... Little Round Top and the 2nd Day of the battle at Gettysburg...
I was at Little Round Top on July 2, 2013. One hundred fifty years after the battle.
This part of the movie was actually filmed on Little Round Top itself. So that means your info was wrong
A tragically sad day in American history. The greatest tragedy is that considerate in the day.
@elvishskills I don't know how the confeds even fought after marching so long and not filling their canteens, hell after a 5km march and no water its terrible.
Especially in that heat.
when i visited the little round top i went up top and dared any southerner to try and make it up
Thomas Chamberlain how many times did i say not to say it in front of the men
the Irishman was a badass
don't be long Thomas Chamberlain
haha the rear charge would have been a good time to have a bowie on ur side lol
don't be long Thomas Chamberlain
whats the name of soundtrack from minutes 5:19 onward

Somebody needs to learn how to record......
That video was the top of little round top looking down onto Devil's Den which was an entirely different part of the battlefield (Devil's Den was around 5 miles away). Little Round Top was as densely forested as shown in the movie
Wonder what the world would look like if they lost at Gettysburg
Scary thought
then why were they born in America.america is not just a nation you know.
The wounded older man kicked ass! Picking up guns and shooting while wounded.
Brothers against brothers......
buster you all right?
Colonel!? Colonel!? Colonel!?
There was no such thing as a FAT Confederate!!! 1:52
Colonel!?Colonel!? Colonel!?
make ready present fire

make each day count
make each day count 😊

i don't know 😔
they are indeed
indeed they are
gasp oh no 😔
They rewarded the Maine boys by putting them in the center of the line where there was no activity. Then Picketts charge came right at them
i don't know
i don't know 😔
i don't know

i don't know
i don't know

oh yea im related to this guy

Just think a couple of these guys lived to see Pearl Harbor.

Thomas how many times did i tell you not to say it in front of the men
You were at the wrong position then. The attack direction of the southern troops were full of trees, like in the video shown.
i feel that if bush is called a war criminal for the iraq civil war why isnt the queen of england called a war criminal for the american civil war?
i have to hand it to the confederates at little round top. their tenacity was brilliant soldiering. but my God war is a terrible thing indeed.
@EpicTrollBeastMan - Correct, it was a war between self-righteous businessmen and the greedy, traitorous aristocracy/planters. But the South definitely did not fight for a noble cause.
wheres blood?
Thinly wooded is a bit strong of a term.
Also of course it's not going to look like a carbon copy of the actual battle grounds as you aren't legally allowed to film at the real location due to it being hallowed ground.
Lastly if you suddenly decided you don't like the entire 4 hour movie based on the fact that the battle of little round top was filmed on a slightly different looking hill then you're not doing it right.
