The proclamation against slavery didn't happen until two years into the war and Lincoln said in his inaugural speech that he did not intend, nor did he have the right, to end slavery in the states. The war was about the Morrill tax.
You can dislike the cause they fought for but don't hate the men, they were mostly decent people, in addition to some of the best combat soldiers this country ever produced.
Another group of men advising the enlisted of Black troops were French professional soldiers serving with the Union Army. Many of those Frenchmen had seen service in France's African colonies and were familiar with Black soldiers. If they were trained properly they would perform just as well as white soldiers.
If you're interested in learning more about the Gettysburg campaign, Mingus' books are well worth reading.

What a great bridge for that time.
The Patapsco Guard from Ellicott Mills, MD was one of the Union units that fought there.
I yeresting history ..thx
The Confederate soldiers helping put out the fire for civilians that dislike them is pretty honorable.
Yep, shame about the despicable cause they fought for
@@JohnHallett5846isaPrick Slavery is definitely bad, but the soldiers and generals fought more for their states than for slavery.

Another video where they veer off actual history into subjective analysis and politically correct exaggerated speculation.
