From my understanding at this time officers had to pay and get tailored their uniforms when I read Grants book. The Army depending on what outfit they joined would have some type of stipend.
Jared Harris as Ulysses in Spielberg’s ‘Lincoln’ in 2013 is the best portrayal of the man I’ve ever seen on screen, film or otherwise. Doesn’t even look like him I admit but because Harris is such a brilliant and, underrated mind you, Chernobyl finally gave him some love but still, the role works because he e captures the spirit and essence of Grant so perfectly. You could tell you did his homework for the role. Harris absolutely kills every role he’s in, I’ve been a huge fan since I saw him as Layne Pryce in Mad Men, a character in which he stole almost every scene he was in. He also has given the best portrayal of King George VI on film or TV that I’ve ever seen as well, in Season 1 of The Crown.
That's not entirely true, there are several photos of Grant wearing that exact coat. The hats wrong but he is picture at Lee's surrender in cavalry boots.
The Wallace they mention is making some possibly-wrong decisions, but survives. Wallace became the author of Ben-Hur, and the governor of New Mexico who made a deal with Billy the Kid.
Lew Wallace failed to stop Ol Jubilee at Monocacy, but at least held him up long enough for Grant to send men from Petersburg to send the ANV packing. Wallace ALSO broke the deal he made with William Bonney to go states evidence in favor of amnesty, then sent Garrett after him because Bonney continued his career.
They make it look like fun. My Dad told a story about his great uncle who fought in that war. He wound up in a prison camp in Minnesota, and when the war was over, they opened the gates and told them to leave. No food, nothing. Deadly walk back towards Louisiana for a lot of men. But this movie glosses over the stench of death that defined a generation of Americans.
@@blaiseutube Strange you would say that; the attrition rates were similar on each side. I read a lot of the meanness came out later in the war when each side felt like the other side wasn’t treating prisoners fairly, so it turned into a tit for tat of abuse.
Details matter. The uniforms, gear, the way it’s being worn. Horrible, the palm to face, is that there’re literally thousands of images from the war, illustrating what they had, and how they wore it.

@@RealDannyHelmerSome say that the Civil War started when Fort Sumter was fired on in South Carolina in December, 1960. Missouri and Kansas were at it since 1855. There is a reason that the Kansas Jayhawks and the Missouri Tigers used to be one of the most fierce collegiate rivalries, and many people didn’t remember why. My grandmother’s grandmother was a young woman on a farm during the Civil War in mid-Missouri, a child of immigrants from the Germanic States that settled in the late 1840’s. While they were anti-slavery, she recounted to my grandmother how both sides came on their land and took whatever it was that they wanted, then shortly the other side would do the same. My ancestors spoke German as did many people in that area (and also in the Hill Country of Texas at that time) and were treated horribly by both sides in part because they didn’t speak English. It still weighed in her as an older woman thinking back on the violent time of her youth.
You're correct. It helped recruiting and made them fight better. You would not embarrass yourself in front of men you knew. But the Civil War stopped that practice on both sides when whole towns were wiped out from battle losses.
This actually happened at Shiloh. The Union forces got caught by surprise which caused numerous men to run from the front. Rather than trying to figure out which regiment they belonged to, he just made some makeshift regiments to get them back into the fight faster.
@@blackpowder4016 Same in WW1 with the Pals Battalion's... It worked to get them there but never was allowed after. Whole generations and communities of men wiped out in minutes and hours.
Well at the bottom you can easily discern the main character is Ulysses S. Grant so I would surmise that would be a good place to start. Gratis. 😎 Oh and DO YOUR OWN WORK. 😎
Grant had sword at Shiloh, since he mentions a bullet or shrapnel denting the scabbard, but that gaudy uniform is ridiculous. Grant wore a plain frock coat and was often mistaken for an enlisted man. Wallace is "six months away"? more like six hours & the reason why Wallace was late was due to Grant's own chief of staff havng Wallace take the flooded coast road instead of the route Wallace had previously constructed inland!
My Hubby says his Great Grandfather told his family...year's later how the Irish Brigades (69th Brigades ) Gen Meath under his command was called In when battles turn to chit!
One of the worst generals ever. Had all of the men he wanted or needed, all of the supplies he needed at all times, all of the logistics, a weakened enemy cut off almost entirely from trade and he still got his ass whooped/barely beat his enemy even though he far outnumbered them at every single engagement. Most over rated general ever.
Prepares? The 1st day of the battle is coming to an end and his army is facing total ennilation. He is trying to form a last defense at PITTSBURG'S LANDING
And many of those states to this day still suffer because of this war. Mississippi the wealthiest state in the nation trades places with Arkansas at the bottom. By the way both Sherman and Grant stated they weren't fighting to free the slaves. That should tell you something about the truth. As far as the military goes, the South always provides a higher percentage per capita of soldiers for this great nation. Soldiers such as George Smith Patton@@billpugh58
Grant miniseries by History on Amazon Prime Video
What’s the name of the series?
It's just called "Grant".
@kw7807 Holy crap something that doesn't look woke.Looks like we got ourselves a good one, boys!!
Läuft aber nicht in Deutschland
Shiloh is where Grant finally realized that only the complete destruction of the Confederacy would end the war.
How many buttons on the coat do you want officer?
"Yes"
Buttons for days
Drip drip drip
This was before the invention of the zipper
Should just wear plate at this point 😂😂😂

Jodythomas-
Are you a woman?
If you're a guy you're gay.
He was also amazing as Captain Crozier in AMC’s The Terror.
he was brilliant as anderson dawes in the expanse and in mad men. as well as moriarty in the sherlock holmes remake
He's killing it in Foundation rn, saw a list of upcoming work from him and thought him in an Asimov piece would be interesting
Lot of people talk about Gettysburg, but if Grant had lost at Shiloh, the war would have also been lost.
"Sherman?"
"Prolly still going fucking bat-shit crazy, but HEYYY, I'll keep him in the back of my mind!"
The actor that's playing Grant actually looks a lot more like Sherman.
I have to say... I agree!
The soldier that says " come on boys" is in the history channel Gettysburg documentary.
He plays the soldier Amos Humiston
Knew he looked familiar
He didn't wear such a peacock coat. He wore a privates coat with no insignia
He also never wore cavalry boots.
I've never seen a single picture of him with those boots on.
That’s why people assumed he was drunk because he didn’t wear the “formal” clothes
@@countrykids6483Look at the photo of him sitting on the church pew outside Massaponax church. Same coat, same boots
That's not entirely true, there are several photos of Grant wearing that exact coat.
The hats wrong but he is picture at Lee's surrender in cavalry boots.
To me he kinda looks like General Sherman.
That was my thought.
I thought so too
He does
Sherman looks like Clint Eastwood in the 70s; they got the look right.
THIS is why I’m a civil war relic hunter.
I'm assuming you have been to Gettysburg? Incredible place.

He was lucky to be in a Union camp.
The POW in Confederate camps didn't get fed.

The movie's costumer had an unlimited budget and a cousin who sold buttons.
@@wm268 and none of the rank & file have their top button fastened, which was regulation
@@KYPopskullThis was an army in a state of disarray.
@@KYPopskull That's ok, Grant also wouldn't have done something like "Form new regiments." Only states could do that, and he knew it.

My wife's great great uncle died at Shiloh. He was a Captain.
Sure is a bright, clean uniform. He didn't even have one for the surrender at Appomattox
I hate that Im not able to watch this show
He looks a little bit like Grant.
He's british too
What is the name of the movie please someone tell me?
The biggest loss at Shiloh was Gen. Albert Sydney Johnson. Beauregard should have swept the field,but Grant's reinforcements showed next day.
What a sad time
A brutal decade

Is this.
Knew several Grants named in honor of this leader. Nice short!

@@RealDannyHelmerhe was down river with a hang over from a party he was at the night before.
@@crippledcrow2384 No he wasn't. Stop lying.

Who cares. If that's all you worried about you have a problem

It's been about 160 years give it a rest. The UNITED States is better off UNITED and that goes for both sides.
This is such a garbage depiction. Shame on the lazy aases who put this together.

I dunno...
Not feeling this actor as Grant.
With the actor who played Mexican War Grant, I was all in; uncanny resemblance.
The guy who plays Grant looks more like Sherman, and the guy who plays Sherman looks more like Grant…. What happened with this dyslexicasting?

He prepares for battle
Why?
@@Carlos-qh2fmbecause it didn't depict the South as noble and honourable and definitely not fighting for slavery

Cope and seethe.
