Very good job. A couple of things, though: when discussing George T. Anderson, you show a painting of Richard H. Anderson. Also, when you mention James Barnes of the 5th Corps, you show a photo of Alexander Hays, who lead a division of the Union 2nd Corps.
@@maddhattalscivilwarhistory2728 I searched. Where is it? If the 1st Minnesota didn’t stop the Alabama regiments, the union would have lost the battle of Gettysburg by July 2nd. The confederacy would have breeches the gap, and rolled up the Union lines.
Most people neglect to mention that Lee wanted Longstreet to attack at 11am on the 2nd day, however Longstreet delayed the attack for a significant amount of time and didn't attack until much later in the day at 4pm, at which time the federal forces had been in much concentration on the high ground and gave the advantage to federals with onus on the confederates to try to assail them. If Longstreet would have attacked as Lee had wanted earlier in the day the outcome in my opinion would have been much different a
Getting the troops in place was the problem. Faulty intelligence and poor route choice led to a 2-hour delay in troop placement, which in turn delayed the other phases of the attack. I don't really think you can pinpoint it all on Longstreet, it was poor overall planning and yet another example of why it's important to have cavalry available to scout routes and other things.
Exactly that's an aspect that people like Tommy miss. A lot of people do blame Longstreet and he does share some responsibility but the failure belongs at the very top with Lee. Pickett's charge was Robert E. Lee's doing.
I think you can make that argument, but it also messed up the overall scheme of the Union as well. They had to free up units from other locations to close up the gaps.

Wow, thank you so much!

Thank you for pointing out the error.
General Buford and his cavalry troops as was colonel Chamberlin at the little round top : were the real heroes of Gettysburg.
Hmmm, sure they were heroes, but there were a lot, and I mean a lot of heroes all over the battlefield.
You didn’t mention the charge of the 1st Minnesota
Yea, I know, but it was already a really long episode. If you search my channel, there is a shorter episode on the 1st Minnesota.

... you can debate Sickles actions ... but ... it sure screwed up Longstreets' plans ...
