- The Confederacy had been victorious at Fort Sumter in April and now the next battle - at Bull Run was taking place.
The men, women and children who made up the wealthy elite of Washington came out in their carriages out of curiosity to follow the Union army on July 21st, 1861 to Centreville, Virginia.

This is what life was like before TV and video games

it seems we have tamed our lust for warfare through TV,Movies and Video games in a small way
And to see we have made little progress against such stupidity
Thank God for video games and TV

This is basically Switzerland during both world wars minus the panic
And instead of sandwiches and champagner, wine and fondue.
In reality we were starving because we didnt receive the food imports anymore

I was gonna comment the exact same thing wtx
@Broderick Winfield I mean this was during the early age of firearms, most people still use muskets and black powder based firearms, long range rifle rounds haven't been invented yet, plus it's hard to hit a shot even a mile away with modern equipment. If anything it would be the artillery that has a potential to hit them. But unless the artillerymen were braindead enough then it is unlikely that an artillery round would be 5 miles off target

I read it with a southern accent for some reason.
rich people smh..
Mark Galera They were just bored and wanted to see people fight over policies. Heck even those who did not participate in the war probably were bored and saw this picnic as a business opportunity.
Thats always happened and will continue to happen. It does make good money tbh :P
dan j very good point
But when poor people did it in modern wars, you wont say "smh" because they are poor.
That counts as an economic discrimination

Real life spectating.
Wonder if they could use the switch team option..

It would be like watching one of Diplexheated’s TH-cam videos. Except in real life there were no free roam cameras like in the Men of War/Total War games he plays, but instead you’re standing next to him observing from a balloon while it’s live, listening to what he is saying as you both are looking from a scope of some sort. It would be a personal trip with a guy commentating on the battles and naming off the different units of either side, who’s probably getting payed for doing this for entertainment services rather than gaining income posting monetized TH-cam videos.
1800’s American 1: Hey Tod, why not we have a picnic next to a raging battle!
1800’s American 2: sounds perfectly splendid Josephine! I‘ll get the blanket!
A few minutes later
I mean that is still 8 kilometers away
Anders Karing kilometers?? Don’t u mean miles??

It's 5 miles and 8 kilometers did u not see the video

This battle looked like a "gentleman's battle" where they pre-determined where to fight, and gave each other time to line up their soldiers in formation for battle. This was the only way the spectators could be able to come out to watch.
During the Sengoku Period in Japan, some civilians had picnic during the battle as well.
I mean hey,
if we can have a tea party during the revolutionary war I don’t see why not in this scenario
The average Lad r/whooosh
Link Tidal Oh boi catch me in that screen shot
The average Lad I think the person meant the woman who allowed Washington and his army to keep going to their check point, I think, by hosting a tea party or social event for the enemies to help the colonies get to where they needed to be.

Pickleman Literally 0 correlation
@Pickleman Action movies aren't real though. A much more valid comparison is documentaries, short clips of real battles on TH-cam or people watching traffic accidents
I mean they aren't going to join the fight
This is how 1860's people watched an action movie
From 5 miles away you problebly wouldnt see or hear all the nasty stuff that would ruin your picnic. You know, things like people screaming, bleeding out, and getting stabbed
Reminded me of Titanic scene when Ruth said:
Will the lifeboats be seated according to class? I hope they're not too crowded.
How rich and elite thinks
Should let me slide in them dms
Their morons that think their better than everyone because they got load of money
Wanna be my Rose? You can watch me die in freezing water although there's more space on the door..
Why are you using dialogue from a scripted film like if it’s historically accurate and/or real events?
Use real life examples, not examples from film. Makes you appear like the only history lessons you get is in Hollywood.
@@KingP0rkchop Go eat some bread or cake or something.
Some of the congressman and senators were captured. My favorite story though is about Col. E.B.C. Cash. Here is the story," In the closing stages of the battle, the 8th SC was in pursuit of the fleeing Yankees. Many prisoners were taken, including several civilians caught behind the lines. One of these was Congressman Alfred Ely of New York, who had come out to picnic and watch the battle. Brought before Cash by Sgt. Maj. W.S. Mullins, the congressman immediately demanded his release (following that with several offending oaths, according to one account). Cash, with his temper now ignited and a fire in his eyes, looked down over his mount and responded: "You son-of-a-*****! You’re one of them politicians that started this war!" Spurring his horse, Cash drew his pistol, intent on killing the Congressman. Ely took refuge behind Mullins as Cash attempted to get a clear shot. For a few moments, these two went round and round Mullins until a staff officer intervened.
Seto Kaiba My. What a story.
I can imagine Sgt Mayor Mullins just looking annoyed as the two circled around him thinking "Why did I join the army?"

This is kinda like the battle of hastings in 1066 it started at 9 am and finished at dusk both sides took a break for lunch aswell.
I find that crazy
I read "battle of the hashtags"

Damn, people back then were nuts.

The one time a Michigan and Ohio official agreed on the same general idea.
You're probably from the Midwest if you get that.
“It does seem strange that people would picnic here to watch a real battle”.
Ancient Roman Colosseum-are you not entertained?
What a weird and turbulent time in American history
Yeah especially when a war is started because of someone's greed. (Sarcasm) every war is started because of someone's greed
Wheres my emu war vid
An overwhelming perspective, thank you for the video!
Before , this is like eating popcorn while watching a movie
Wow that's actually really appalling. Shame on those families
Image what it would be like if people spectated Stalingrad...
The civilians kinda did. Not all could escape the area so they would get caught in the fight.
Fatih Said Duran pretty suuuuure they didn't have the balls to pinic during that battle....
As they were pretty busy STARVING
Lmao
Just a picnic without as much food.
When the world is in chaos and you’re still eating..
lolololol lolololol q.
"Mommy my ears hurt from all the loud noises coming from there"
"Dont worry honey it's just the soldier shooting each other"
Really respectful and sad thing,it only shows how soldiers on the both sides were losers,and the only winners in the end of the war were politicians and wealthy.
Still is today, the illumaniti satanic globalist pedophile always win
I'm more curious to what it would be like if modern day battles had spectators
I guess that counts
And the stray artillery shell just took out rows 8 through 14 in the left bleachers.
We’ll get drone livestream strikes on twitch soon no worries
All of the spectators would be dead by the end of the battle
look at what happened with vietnam lol

OwO
Very nice joke man
Some of us laugh at the sight of people having a physical fail moment. These people loved watching real battles in person...
People used to watch gladiators fight to the death or watch public executions. This scenario isn't as strange as you'd like to think.
Cja weren't gladiatorial arena matches just fighting and no killing because gladitorial fighters cost a lot to train, feed, cloth, etc?
yup but of course there are stil death but most of time it more like WWE but more dangerous
Bryan Manuel most gladiators would have to die while battling eventually, it just wasn’t as common as seeing a death in every battle. The people went there to see blood.
Civilians back then had balls of steel.
Nah, they were just retarded.
who cares they just bored without anything
They don't have TV and video games like today...

"Quite so, the Army surely has a keen eye in that"
"Seems like that line there is braking."
"Cowards, the whole bunch. Want some more tea?"
I feel honored that you did a video with my home city of Manassas in it
In the Civil War, especially the early major battles, both sides fought with tightly packed line infantry advancing under little or no cover, then discharge volleys at each other. So it is much safer to spectate than a modern street fight.
Battle of Gettysburg next please?

When you use the country flag instead of the battle flag so you don't get demonitized...
Wittymcschmuck The Funk Actually the battle flag hadn’t been designed yet at that stage in the war.
Why should the video get demonitized for that?
Avery Lopez-Baines thats really stupid. I mean, i could understand the Swastika. But that is ridiculous.
It’s actually the correct flag. It would be changed later for being too similar to the Union flag.
During first battles of the war the first confederate national flag ( the star and bars ) was used battles flags in some units along side state flags , the Bonnie blue flag and Bonnie blue style flags . It wasn't until 1862 that the battle flag, army of northern Virginia version , started showing up a lot in battles , but the stars and bars stayed the national confederate flag until around July of 1863 when it was replaced with the stainless banner . Even through the stars and bars was replaced . Some versions of it was still used as battle flags mainly in the western theater until the end of the war . The famous confederate battle flag had many different style flags , and variations depending on which army it was in the unit and state or area . There also many different confederate flags that were used as battle flags throughout the war that weren't a variant of the southern cross or the national flags . These were unique flags that's were homemade , or designed after state or other flags . These like many other saw use in the east early in the war but were used throughout the war in the west
