Very cool. Now I see why guys wanted to get assigned there. The other was the Presidio and it was the one place I really wanted to be assigned. These old forts are amazing .
ayyyyy! the Hampton roads area! while your in the area I recommend the mariners museum as the uss monitors actual turret is stored in a saltwater tank that the general public can view from a cat walk. awesome video btw!
I was stationed there 58-59. I was General Bruce C Clarkes photographer as a SP4. Wonderful duty. I did not explore the famous places; I was more interested in exploring the women of Virginia. I was 19-20 years old.
@@WalkwithHistory Yes ...no wonder the old Horn type listening devise was popular in the 1880s forward..... The merged into the First Phonographs.... With the cylinders for recording matching the long fat Cannon barrels.. 😂 lol
Good Job. Enjoyed it. Jimmy Carter gave away the Panama Canal! And now I find out he restored Jefferson Davis citizenship! Will there be end to his villainy!! By the way great job!
I didn't know that Jeff Davis was ever charged for anything. It's amazing that he was held responsible when, except for Wirz at Andersonville, I'm not aware of any Confederate officers or civilian leaders that were prosecuted for wartime crimes.
@@WalkwithHistory Reportedly, only Wirz and some bushwhacker in Tennessee were the only CSA military leaders prosecuted and executed after the War. Not even the Fort Pillow massacre was prosecuted.
Yes…a lot to unpack with everything that happened. It absolutely makes for an interesting study. Thank you as always for watching! 🙌🏻 we love hearing from you. 😁
That was interesting, thanks for your work! I noticed on one of the information displays the mention of Fort Hamilton, Brooklyn, NY. This is the location of my high school, Fort Hamilton. I went there in the 1960's. There was a cannon on campus, with some cannonballs displayed. It is the only active base in the NYC area. During the Civil War it protected the harbor against raids.
Really love this video. Another place i need to visit.
Such a cool spot…the fort is so neat
Thank you so much, that was so cool.
Thank you for watching.

Thank you for the tour of Ft Monroe. I did not know that Jefferson Davis was imprisoned there. Very interesting!
Glad you enjoyed it
Visited the prison many decades ago. I remember how damp it was.
Yes! They had huge fans running in there to work against that.
Nice Thanks spent years down there and never made to that one.
Or the other Thousand Items on the list.
Yes this was a cool spot. So much to do in this area!
@@WalkwithHistory 🥂😆

@@WalkwithHistory Absolutely.

So cool. Thank you for sharing. Most young people are more interested in socializing!!! Nothing wrong with that. :)
I can only imagine what it was like to be a defender at these old forts, I guess everyone on a cannon was left deaf.
I bet so! I don’t know if I’ve ever thought of that.

I am not aware of any Confederate Officers charges either. They all ran away for a while before coming back and nothing was ever officially done.

I love cw history. I think carter restored Lee's citizenship as well.
Yes I think you are correct. He was on a roll!!
Case mate number2
Yup!
I have voice before that I consider JD a traitor. His citizenship should have never been given back. Excellent episode. Cheers y’all.
