Somehow, modern history don't match the voice over
After watching so many European, Russian, Asian, and Middle-Eastern wars, this paradoxically feels surreal, and much too real.
Love historical battles and strategies. Lee and Stonewall were both great leaders and United States veterans.
Stonewall should also be praised for giving black people an education. A major thing to do.
Lee should be praised for also criticizing and wanting slavery to end. Another great thing to love about these military geniuses and us veterans
You cannot change the reason for a war mid-stride. The war was not fought to free anyone!
109K views, and 108k likes, the post engagement is absurd
So good
Blessed be the sacrifice
When will the video of the Battle of Claydon be released on the channel?
General Lee sure won his greatest battle here…. but it cost him an arm… his strong right arm that is…. in General "Stonewall" Jackson… from this point on, this is where he literally won the battle only to lose the war
Good Video
"I'm just gonna go out there for an hour to look, okay? Now when I come back I don't want anyone shooting me, is that understood?"
"Sure, dad… Whatever. 🙄"
