There's a little scene that I love just prior to Pickett's Charge where the camera slowly pans the line of Rebel soldiers close-up, waiting at the edge of the woods ready to form ranks. Having four ancestors who fought in the Big war (one dying at Stone's River) I don't mind admitting the film and the soundtrack moved me greatly. But Sheen as Robby Lee? No way.

I watched both the New York and UK tribute memorials on TV marking the 10th anniversary of September 11th attacks.
I was watching the UK memorial service when all of a sudden i recognised the music the brass band were playing!! I shouted Gettysburg!! It was fantastic!!
Both the New York and UK memorials were very touching and brought a tear to my eye.
R.I.P to all those that lost their lives and prayers to the families.
Today (9/11/2011) marks the 10th anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Centres in New York.
This music was played by a brass band at Grosvenor Square in London today - To commemorate the lives lost on that day, and since, in the abonimable names of Terrorism and War.

Within the next two days I'm going to receive my Blu-ray box set containing GETTYSBURG and GODS & GENERALS. I don't know both of the movies, but when I heard that yesterday I had to order the soundtrack - it's just incredible music!
THE CIVIL WAR WAS A TRAVESTY TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. WHEN STATE'S RIGHTS DETERMINE HOW A RACE OF PEOPLE ENSLAVED IN OUR FLEDGLING COUNTRY SHOULD BE TREATED, BAD FEELINGS AND ANTI-GOVERNMENT SENTIMENT STARTS TO TAKE PLACE.. THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER ISWHILE SLAVERY WAS NOT THE MAIN ISSUE, IT COULD NEVER HAVE BEEN, HAD THE SOUTHERN STATES AT THE TIME OF DECLARATION OF INDPENDANCE, NOT THREATNED TO NOT SIGN THE DOCUMENT, UNLESS THE SLAVERY CAUSE WAS REMOVED, OR WE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN A COUNTRY.
@p90xsteroids ; WHAT THE ---- DOES THAT HAVE DO WITH TAKING AWAY, WHAT CAME TO BE A MAJOR POLITICAL WISH AND HELPED WIN THE RE-ELECTION OF LINCOLN; IF THE SOUTHER STATES AT THE TIME OF THE DECLARATION; REMOVE SLAVERY; THERE GOES THE EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION; IT WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN WRITTEN BECAUSE THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO REASON TOO.
@p90xsteroids HOW INFORMED ARE U OF THE CIVIL WAR; FROM WHAT I'VE READ; NOT VERY MUCH; THE CIVIL WAR WAS ABOUT KEEPING THE UNION TOGETHER; LINCOLN SAID AND I QUOTE" IF I COULD PRESERVE THE UNION AND FREE ALL THE SLAVES I'D DO IT, IF I COULD PRESERVE THE UNION AND FREE NONE OF THE SLAVES I'D DO IT; SLAVERY WAS NOT AN ISSUE AND IT WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN HAD THE SOUTHERN STATES NOT THREATNED NO NOT SIGN THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDANCE.
@p90xsteroids IM SURPRISED YOU EVEN CAME UP WITH OXY MORON; YOU FIND A 3 YR OLD TO LOOK IT UP FOR YOU?; MY ORIGINAL REPLY TO YOU STILL STANDS; YOU'VE NOT MADE 1 GOOD, FAIR, OR EVEN AMUSING ARGUMENT.
150 years ago, a nation was torn apart by slavery and bigotry and killed more Americans than any war before or since.
Even now, years later, there are those who try and hide the facts that the war was fought and finally ended the legal and inhumane treatment of our fellow man.
Still though, there are those who continually claim it was a war fought over issues of rights and government.
I live in California, so I know how we were spoken of in the South.
@FLJBeliever1776 While slavery was at the center of the conflict, the South did believe they were fighting for their rights and hoped to create a government that was less centralized, while elevating the power of the individual states. They believed they had a right to their "property" and the government didn't have the power to deny them of it. They thought they were fighting for a new birth of freedom. While I don't agree with their reasoning, I can understand why they were fighting.
@ddcarnley You have to look up the Compromise of 1850 that admitted California into the union as a single, whole state, though for California to get this status and not be broken up into two States, forming the Free North California and the Slave Southern California, the bounty hunting of escaped slaves was allowed well into Northern Free States despite the outcry and only one area was exempt from: Washington DC.
As such the fighting was about slavery and maintaining that lifestyle in the South
@FLJBeliever1776 "We are forced to take up arms to vindicate the political rights, the freedom, equality, and State sovereignty which were the heritage purchased by the blood of our revolutionary sires". - Jefferson Davis. I don't deny that slavery was at the heart of everything...but I also understand that the South did believe they were fighting for their rights and a better government. You can't accept slavery as the main reason while ignoring the political reasons as well.
@ddcarnley Like he was going to come and say it, considering he spent the whole war trying to get the Europeans to side with the South, the same Europeans that had outlawed slavery in their own territories.
You have to look not just at the politics, but the psychological side. In the South, even the average white was eager to maintain slavery simply because of bigotry. That's how they had been raised and if the status quo was changed, well... they had a lot of reasons to fight for slavery too.
@FLJBeliever1776 Like I said, I do not agree with their reasoning. That's just what I think alot of them believed....or forced themselves to believe it in order to justify slavery. Whether you and I agree or disagree that it was about rights or government doesn't deny the fact that alot of Southerners did believe it was. However I do agree that slavery was the force behind everything and certainly influenced their political philosophy as well as their psychology .
@FLJBeliever1776 I think their political philosophy was mainly formed by their necessity to deny the war was about slavery. They tried to come up with explanations to try to justify why slavery was a positive good and the good of society. I hope it doesn't seem that I'm disagreeing with you that slavery was the main cause of the war...I just think we shouldn't fail to realize that many Southerners(many Northerners as well) believed that it was about rights and self-government.
@FLJBeliever1776 YOU ACTUALLY BELEIVE THE CIVIL WAR WAS ABOUT SLAVERY;COME ON; LET ME QUOTE YOU LINCOLN; HE SAID IF I COULD FREE ALL THE SLAVES AND PRESERVE THE UNION I'D DO IT, IF I COULD FREE NONE OF SLAVES AND PRESERVE THE UNION I'D DO IT; THE PROCLAMATION FREEING THE SLAVES DID'T COME OUT TILL 1863 AFTER ANTIETAML IT WAS PURELY POLITICAL; HE NEEDED TO SHOW THE CNTRY ANOTHER REASON FOR THE WAR, TO KEEP IT GOING UNTIL THE CSA ARMIES IN THE FIELD COULD BE DESTROYED.
@1071patrick Let me guess... Ku Klux Klan and a descended of a firebrand Confederate officer who refused to admit defeat?
Pal, look up the Compromises of both 1820 and 1850 and then get back to me. Otherwise, you're full of it as while Lincoln had said that, he wasn't even on the ballet in most of the states that formed the CSA. A direct violation of Federal Law to insure their own way of life.
Slavery was the issue and the Slavery will be the issue of the US Civil War.
@FLJBeliever1776 MY FAMILY IS IRISH; WHY WOULD I SUPPORT THE SOUTHER CAUSE; THEY STARTED A WAR;NO WAY; IF SLAVERY WAS AN ISSUE; WAS THE THE PROCLAMTION FREEING THE SLAVES ISSUED IN 1863, AND NOT IN 1861; PRESERVATION OF THE UNION WAS TANTAMOUNT TO ANY OTHER CAUSE THAT COULD BE DERIVED FOR FIGHTING THE WAR. I HAVE NO SOUTHERN SYMPATHIES AT ALL; HERE IS WORD FOR U; SHERMAN; EVER HEAR OF HIM, PHIL SHERRIDAN, GRANT, ANY CLUE WHO THESE PEOPLE WERE AND WHAT THEIR DUTY WAS.
@1071patrick And thus you have given yourself your own answer.
There was strong racism even in the North. To keep the nation united and in the fight, Lincoln needed a major victory to make the Emancipation Proclamation. The Battle of Antietam gave him that victory since it was not only a major Union win in the East, but also on Northern Soil.
Now even after that, there were race riots and here's the predominant group who started it all: Irish.
@FLJBeliever1776 YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME, ANTIETAM WAS NOT A MAJOR VICTORY; LEE'S ARMY HAD THEIR BACK TO THE RIVER, AND IF BURNSIDE HAD BETTER KNOWLEDGE OF HOW TO USE THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC, THE WAR WOULD HAVE ENDED THERE, THE 2 LEADING REGIMENTS OF THE ASSAULT ON WHAT IS KNOW BURNSIDES BRIDGE WERE THE 51ST NEW YORK AND 51ST PENNSYLVANIA, THEY TOOK THE GROUND, BUT THERE WAS NO FOLLOW UP ATTACK; ANTIETAM WAS A VICTORY FOR THE SOUTH AND A STALEMATE FOR THE UNION; NOT A VICTORY;
@1071patrick Burnside? Which battle are you talking about? Burnside was a corps commander at that time and had the misfortune of having his flank unexpectedly exposed to sudden Confederate reinforcements coming up from Harper's Ferry.
Though honestly, please stop using Caps Lock and type normally.
General McClellan was commander and he was from removed from the reality of the war to really prosecute it. Still, it was a Union victory as Lee was driven out of Maryland with heavy losses.
@FLJBeliever1776 YOU CAN THINK WHAT U WANT; IT WAS NOT A VICTORY; IF YOU CANT HANDLE MY TYPING IN CAPS BFD; LEE LOST MEN'; IF YOU WANT TO CONSIDER THAT A VICTORY FINE;BUT WHEN U HAVE A CHANCE TO CRUSH THE OPPOISNG ARMY AND U LET IT SLIP FROM UR HANDS IT'S NOT A VICTORY.McCLELLAN WAS NOT A GOOD WAR COMMANDER; FINUALLY WE AGREE ON SOMETHING. LINCOLN VISITED THE ARMY ONCE AND WAS WAS ASKED WHAT DO U THINK OF THE ARMY; HE STATED THAT IS INOT AN ARMY BUT McCLELLAN'S BODY GUARD.
@1071patrick Last warning to type normally or I'll report you, hear me loud and clear?
As for the battle, it was a defeat for Lee in Strategic sense.
Lee may have left the field with his army intact, but McClellan never deployed his full force either, so his losses were negated. Tactically speaking it was a draw for both sides.
On the other hand, Lee couldn't replace his troops and was ejected from Union soil, in that sense, he lost heavily and Lincoln went forward with freeing the slaves.
@FLJBeliever1776 ANY TIME U HAVE A CHANCE TO CRUSH YOUR OPPONET AND DO NOT OR CANNOT DO IT DUE TO NEGLIGENCE THAT IS A DEFEAT, THE ADVANCES THE UNION MADE WERE NOT FOLLOWED UP PROPERLY. OK FINE IT WAS A DRAW, HOWEVER IT'S STILLGOES IN THE BOOKS AS A DEFEAT, BECAUSE THE CSA WAS STILL VERY MUCH IN TACT AND WOULD REMAIN SO UNTIL THE SURRENDER IN APRIL OF 65, THE PROCOLMATION WAS NECESSARY AT THAT POINT; IF LE'E'S ARMY WAS DEFEATED AS IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THAT MAKES THE PROCOLAMATION A MUTE POINT
@1071patrick The battle was Tactically Inconclusive, but the CSA lost over 10,000 men in battle with nearly 2/5s KIA. Lee had only 38,000 men to command that day.
From a Strategic view point, the victory stopped Lee's First Invasion of the North cold and with the Emancipation Proclamation that followed, kept the French and British from recognizing the Confederacy as a nation.
Another effect was that Lee lost two generals and most of his troops had no ammunition, those it was a Strategic Victory.
@FLJBeliever1776 YOUR STILL NOT GETTING IT'; THE BRITISH WOULD NEVER HAVE JOINED THE CONFEDERACY AS LONG AS SLAVERY PERSISTED, THE WAR COULD HAVE ENDED THERE.LOOK AT WHAT HAPPEND IN 1776, THE SOUTHERN STATES AT THAT TIME REFUSED TO SIGN THE DEC OF INDEP, UNLESS THE NON SLAVERY CLAUSE WAS REMOVED, IF THEY HAD LEFT THAT THERE, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO SLAVERY TO MAKE AN ISSUE OF. THE WAR MAY HAVE COME,BUT THE FOCUS WOULD HAVE BEEN AND STAYED STATE'S RIGHT.
@1071patrick Oh really... than I guess the "Trent Incident" that nearly propelled them into joining the CSA is a bit of fiction now isn't it?
Better read up on it and yes, Limey and Frog support sat with the CSA as they feared a strong USA.
The only reason they did not enter early on was the issue of slavery, something the South desperately, but futilely tried to dispel as their reason for rebellion.
With Antietam a victory followed by the EP, the Brits and French stayed out of the war.
@FLJBeliever1776 SLAVERY WAS OUT LAWED IN THE ENGLISH COLONIES, AS A RESULT THEY WOULD NOT HAVE JOINED THE CSA,WITH OR WITHOUT ANTIETAM. THE EP WAS A POLITICAL MOVE, ANTIETAM GAVE JUST ENOUGH OF A POLITICAL COVER TO ANNOUNCE IT.THE CIVIL WAR WAS ABOUT STATE'S RIGHTS AND THE PRESERVATION OF THE UNION OVER WHICH WE FOUGHT THE ENGLISH TWICE OVER.SECESSION WOULD NEVER BE ACCEPTED.I SUGGEST U READ OR LISTEN TO THE GETTYSBURG ADDRESS.IT SAYS GOVERNMENT, NOT GOVERNMENTS THE CSA WOULD HAVE BEEN A GOVT
@1071patrick You obviously haven't been doing any research and are only shooting off at the mouth.
So I'm done, plus, though you claim Irish, it sounds like Southern Irish mixed with the attitude in which Irish are even more notable bigots than Americans... whether that's true or not... well... the Irish were the ones who did all the rioting after the EP was announced.
@FLJBeliever1776 YOU LEVEL OF IGNORANCE IS FAR WORSE THEN U CLAIMING I HAVE NOT DONE RESEARCH,LOOK IN A MIRROR; YOUR THE BIGOT HERE;CLAIMNG THE CIVIL WAS WAS ABOUT SLAVERY IS JUST NOT TRUE, WHETHER U CHOOSE TO ADMIT OR ACKNOWLEDGE IT. HISTORY SUPPORTS MY STANCE, NOT THE STANCE OF SOME PERSON WHO EVER U ARE. I READ THE TRENT AFFAIR;IT'S OPEN TO ALOT OF INTERPERTATION; THE GETTYSBURG ADDRESS HOWEVER DOES NOT NEED IT; WHICH WOULD HELP A PERSON LIKE U; GIVEN U UNDERSTAND WHAT IS SAID; "DOUBTFUL"
@FLJBeliever1776 I DOUBT YOU WOULD KNOW WHAT THE WORD BOTHER MEANS; DONT BOTHER ME ANYMORE THEN IS ABOUT THE MOST INTELLIGENT THING U'VE SAID; CONGRATULATIONS;I AM NOT A BOGOT OR SOUTHERN IRISH IF I WAS I WOULD CLAIM UR IDOTIC CAUSE FOR THE WAR AS RIGHT;I KNOW ABOUT THE RIOTS IN NY; THAT WAS BAD AS WELL; HOWEVER I DO NOT HOLD THE PAST AGAINST MY CNTRY MEN.MY ATTITUDE REFLECTS THE BELIEFS OF THE NORTHEN STATES TO PRESERVE A UNION, NOTHING MORE OR LESS; HOW DOES 1NATION UNDER GOD SOUND,NOT NATIONS
@1071patrick Well this is kind of late, but I agree with all others, you're just being childish about this, you're getting nowhere with arguing with us, it's kind of pointless just to argue with people in probably a different state then yourself, we don't need or care for your annoying capital words spam that you've been making us deal with for the past multiple weeks, you just don't realize how stupid you make yourself look at this point.
@CarryOnCarrion5 I TYPE IN CAPS FOR REASONS OF MY OWN. I DONT WANT TO FIGHT ANYBODY, HOWEVER I WILL REPLY WHEN PROVOKED. CAPS ARE NOT SPAM. WHEN SOMEONE IS PASSING OFF REASONS THAT ARE NOT TRUE,AND SUPPORTED BY HISTORY, I SEE NOTHING WRONG WITH SHOWING SOMETHING THAT CAN BE SUPPORTED, AND IS PROVEN. I LOVE THIS SOUND TRACK; HAVE BOUGHT 3 TIMES FOR GIFTS. I CAN RESPECTFUL; WHEN RESPECT IS SHOWN, ITS A 2 WAY STREET. AS FAR AS ANYONE THINKING I AM STUPID; LET THEM WASTE THEIR TIME..
@1071patrick Do calm down sir. There is no reason to go into an all caps rage over the cause of the civil war. Part of the cause was slavery. No need to scream bigot at the other person.
@thedmundfitz IT ONLY BECAME PART OF THE CIVIL WAR IN 1863, AFTER THE EP. ALL LINCOLN WANTED TO DO WAS PRESERVE THE UNION. WE WERE A COUNTRY FOR LESS THEN 100 YRS, WHEN THIS HAPPEND. IF THE SOUTHERN STATES HAD AGREED WITH JEFFERSON IN 1776, ABOUT THE SLAVERY ISSUE, YOU TAKE AWAY 1 OF THE REASONS "ALLEGEDLY" FOR THE WAR.
@1071patrick I don't know what you are talking about and I don't care. I just said I'd had enough of your all caps rage. It's very rude to write in all caps on the internet.
to live through one of the most tragic times in american history and still be abel to lift your head and stare into the eyes of the one person you love who you would give your life for and be able to praise god that it didn't have to come to that and hold them in your amrs just thanking the man upstairs that you are both still alive
those who serve, ask no respect nor honor, expect no fame, glory or banners. Yet from each and every American, deserve the dignity, grace, and knowledge that they carry our debt, which we may never be able to repay. Forever are we honored by their memories. God grants them a special place in heaven, and maybe someday we'll be blessed enough,...
In my opinion, this is one of the greatest soundtracks to one of the greatest movies of all time. I wish there were more great quality movies like Gettysburg out today.
i love at 1:14 the crescendo of music when the chamberlain brothers embrace always chokes me up, they are so happy that eachother are alive, sure they had their bickering but what brothers dont me and my brother bicker alot and to be honest i couldnt live without him, hes my best friend in the whole world i wouldnt know what to do with out him, this is dedicated to all brothers out there
Thank you so very much for posting this music. It is very moving. Even though my great great grandfathers and their brothers fought in the West during the War, I think of them and what they did when I hear this music.
please keep respect for both sides. i honestly would of fought for the south because of family not slaves most southern men didnt fight to keep slaves jsut htere way of life. the north same. i respect both sides its sad but had to happen rest in peace to all who died....
@survas19 I also respect the men who fought on both sides, because they were all Americans. However, to say that they were not fighting to keep slaves but "their way of life" is just plain false. The southern way of life was based entirely on slavery. The southern wealth, southern power rested entirely on agriculture, which it could not profit from without slave labor. Granted, poor white southerners didn't own slaves, but they fought to preserve the practice all the same.
@rodmunch1973 Not completely true. Some fought because they needed money. The army on both sides was a stable job that provided a decent pay with free clothes, shelter, and food. Others fought because they were bored or had something to prove. Some fought to get out of prison and some thought they were actually fighting for freedom. Granted there those that fought for slavery but that wasn't the only reason.
@rodmunch1973 Not every Southerner fought to preserve the practice. Many believed the government was becoming too radicalized and they feared that they would be swept up into that radicalization. They also believed the government was becoming too powerful and would threaten their rights of life, liberty, and property. There were some as well, like Gen. Robert E. Lee, who didn't approve of slavery but refused to fight against his native state.
@survas19 amen to that. so much misinformation today kills me. i would have sided with the north cause i am northern and love my america. but i nod my head in respect to the Confederate flag everytime i see it.
@Sexpistols15151 same here the 20th Maine is my favorite regiment and when they were chosen to accept the Confederate surrender of the army of northern virginia they presented arms to the confederates out of respect. i believe in the same things
I have this epic movie on dvd, & I watch it at least 6 times a year. Now with a large Hi Def TV & a new Bose cinamate 2 surround system It is just amazing. The best war movie I ever seen.
, also the best musical score. A big thank you has to be given to Ted Turner. Without him it would of never been done.
@demeandr121 Fredericksburg wasn't as big or important of a battle as Gettysburg was. I think that Gettysburg Antietam and Fredericksburg ought to be the battles that are the most disscused. Why? Those 3 were the bloodiest battles in the entire Civil War.
lets never forget the battle that costed the lifes of more men then all the years of vietnam the killing grounds of devils den little round top pickets charge the bloodiest battle ever fought on american soil this film and its soundtrack are truly masterpieces this is the ultimate civil war movie and a memorial to everyone who fought killed and died in this war
One of the best film soundtrack ever made! Thank you for posting it for all of us to enjoy! I hope people never forgot the great sacrifice that both sides gave in order for this country to become what it is today! May another civil war never ever occur again!
I love the entire soundtrack to this movie and have for years. Its the kind of music that opens your heart and mind to feel the fullness of any emotion. Openess to truly love, to truly hurt, to morn, and to grasp with fullness the blessings of all our life's experiencess. I pray for all those amoung my generation, that they may find an experience in their lives that will open their eyes to the beauty of this music.
Can someone tell me the name of the song being played by the army band while the soldiers have sermon and Hancock comes up on his horse and take his hat off? The music piece also appears in Black Hawk Down, though with another sound.
So terrible that Ted Turner is so stingy that he won't fund "The Last Full Measure." He claims to be this avid American historian, but oh what a surprise, it's all about the money.....and sadly nothing else. He has enough to fund 1,000 films, but because Gods and Generals didn't completely blow peoples' minds and sell out, he declines to fund it. How sad. Thanks for posting this music, though. Beautiful soundtrack for a beautiful account of American History!
although it was a GREAT character study of Jackson, you're right, it would have done better, I think, if it would have focused more on the battles and strategy.....like Gettysburg.
We will never have a really great movie on the Civil War. Even Gone With the WInd in 1939 had to be curtailed. - Still too divided and to tell it will imply racism on either side and we don't go there anymore.
"Thus ended the clash at Gettysburg, the biggest and bloodiest battle ever fought on American soil. Combined losses from both armies exceeded 53,000. The decisive battle sought by Lee had ended in failure, yet the spirit of the Southern army was far from broken and the war would rage on for two more devastating years."
OMG, this part of the movie where the battle's finally over and they find each other on the battlefield and they look at each other like they're both gonna cry and just hold each other makes me wanna cry everytime i watch it!
I like this song. In this part of the movie the two brothers look at each other eye to eye and hug each other. Thankful their still alive and have each other.
I`ve served with US soldiers in Kosovo. They were as brave and full of honor as the men of this movie. You really know how to make good men. Greetings from Norway
Thank you for the compliment on our men in uniform. Now, if only those men ran the country instead of the moron politicians, we would be much better off.
Let us NEVER forget the heroes who gave their blood for this wonderful nation! Though their bodies are long gone, these soldiers' actions continue to speak to us today. Let us learn from these men who made the ultimate sacrifice for freedom and the nation they loved and pray that we never have to spill such blood again!
that was so great what u said let this never happen again my ancestor from the south went to a prison camp in Delaware the other from the union got his toe blown off and the other which is his brother was for the men of Tennessee south
what bothers me is that michael jackson got like a 4hour memorial but a us marine gets a 1 maybe 2 hour funreal service and procession when they did more for this country than any pop star they died for the country jacko died b/c he overdosed what the hell is wrong with that these soldiers at gettysburg got a like 2 speeches and jacko got everything the soldiers deserved he molested children he deserved none of that whole funreall he had just to be buried
@dookeland8 Yeah i know!! They r treating MJ like he's a fuckin hero when really he's not!! I ought to nock some fuckin scense into thoes people!!! Soldiers at Gettysburg and today should get a 4 hour memorial and MJ should just fuckin be buried!!! No fuckin sevice or anything!!! He is not fuckin special!!!!
@demeandr121 mj is not a fucking hero hes a fucking child molestor. The boys at Gettysburg are the real heroes. What has mj ever done to honor them? Nothing why because he would rather molest children then honor those who gave there lives for his freedom. May the boys that fought at Gettysburg rest in peice for what they have done for this country.
@Zack2504 Yes! Let us honor those heros! MJ can go fuck himself. He didn't help anyone or anybody. R.I.P Sgt. Buster Kilrain and all the others who die

150 years ago, a nation was torn apart by slavery and bigotry and killed more Americans than any war before or since.
Even now, years later, there are those who try and hide the facts that the war was fought and finally ended the legal and inhumane treatment of our fellow man.
Still though, there are those who continually claim it was a war fought over issues of rights and government.
I live in California, so I know how we were spoken of in the South.
We refused then and we refuse now!

@FLJBeliever1776 While slavery was at the center of the conflict, the South did believe they were fighting for their rights and hoped to create a government that was less centralized, while elevating the power of the individual states. They believed they had a right to their "property" and the government didn't have the power to deny them of it. They thought they were fighting for a new birth of freedom. While I don't agree with their reasoning, I can understand why they were fighting.

@ddcarnley You have to look up the Compromise of 1850 that admitted California into the union as a single, whole state, though for California to get this status and not be broken up into two States, forming the Free North California and the Slave Southern California, the bounty hunting of escaped slaves was allowed well into Northern Free States despite the outcry and only one area was exempt from: Washington DC.
As such the fighting was about slavery and maintaining that lifestyle in the South
FLJBeliever1776 8 months ago
@FLJBeliever1776 "We are forced to take up arms to vindicate the political rights, the freedom, equality, and State sovereignty which were the heritage purchased by the blood of our revolutionary sires". - Jefferson Davis. I don't deny that slavery was at the heart of everything...but I also understand that the South did believe they were fighting for their rights and a better government. You can't accept slavery as the main reason while ignoring the political reasons as well.
ddcarnley 8 months ago
@ddcarnley Like he was going to come and say it, considering he spent the whole war trying to get the Europeans to side with the South, the same Europeans that had outlawed slavery in their own territories.
You have to look not just at the politics, but the psychological side. In the South, even the average white was eager to maintain slavery simply because of bigotry. That's how they had been raised and if the status quo was changed, well... they had a lot of reasons to fight for slavery too.
FLJBeliever1776 8 months ago
@FLJBeliever1776 Like I said, I do not agree with their reasoning. That's just what I think alot of them believed....or forced themselves to believe it in order to justify slavery. Whether you and I agree or disagree that it was about rights or government doesn't deny the fact that alot of Southerners did believe it was. However I do agree that slavery was the force behind everything and certainly influenced their political philosophy as well as their psychology .
ddcarnley 8 months ago
@FLJBeliever1776 I think their political philosophy was mainly formed by their necessity to deny the war was about slavery. They tried to come up with explanations to try to justify why slavery was a positive good and the good of society. I hope it doesn't seem that I'm disagreeing with you that slavery was the main cause of the war...I just think we shouldn't fail to realize that many Southerners(many Northerners as well) believed that it was about rights and self-government.

@FLJBeliever1776 YOU ACTUALLY BELEIVE THE CIVIL WAR WAS ABOUT SLAVERY;COME ON; LET ME QUOTE YOU LINCOLN; HE SAID IF I COULD FREE ALL THE SLAVES AND PRESERVE THE UNION I'D DO IT, IF I COULD FREE NONE OF SLAVES AND PRESERVE THE UNION I'D DO IT; THE PROCLAMATION FREEING THE SLAVES DID'T COME OUT TILL 1863 AFTER ANTIETAML IT WAS PURELY POLITICAL; HE NEEDED TO SHOW THE CNTRY ANOTHER REASON FOR THE WAR, TO KEEP IT GOING UNTIL THE CSA ARMIES IN THE FIELD COULD BE DESTROYED.

Pal, look up the Compromises of both 1820 and 1850 and then get back to me. Otherwise, you're full of it as while Lincoln had said that, he wasn't even on the ballet in most of the states that formed the CSA. A direct violation of Federal Law to insure their own way of life.
Slavery was the issue and the Slavery will be the issue of the US Civil War.

@FLJBeliever1776 MY FAMILY IS IRISH; WHY WOULD I SUPPORT THE SOUTHER CAUSE; THEY STARTED A WAR;NO WAY; IF SLAVERY WAS AN ISSUE; WAS THE THE PROCLAMTION FREEING THE SLAVES ISSUED IN 1863, AND NOT IN 1861; PRESERVATION OF THE UNION WAS TANTAMOUNT TO ANY OTHER CAUSE THAT COULD BE DERIVED FOR FIGHTING THE WAR. I HAVE NO SOUTHERN SYMPATHIES AT ALL; HERE IS WORD FOR U; SHERMAN; EVER HEAR OF HIM, PHIL SHERRIDAN, GRANT, ANY CLUE WHO THESE PEOPLE WERE AND WHAT THEIR DUTY WAS.
1071patrick 6 months ago
@1071patrick And thus you have given yourself your own answer.
There was strong racism even in the North. To keep the nation united and in the fight, Lincoln needed a major victory to make the Emancipation Proclamation. The Battle of Antietam gave him that victory since it was not only a major Union win in the East, but also on Northern Soil.
Now even after that, there were race riots and here's the predominant group who started it all: Irish.
FLJBeliever1776 6 months ago
@FLJBeliever1776 YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME, ANTIETAM WAS NOT A MAJOR VICTORY; LEE'S ARMY HAD THEIR BACK TO THE RIVER, AND IF BURNSIDE HAD BETTER KNOWLEDGE OF HOW TO USE THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC, THE WAR WOULD HAVE ENDED THERE, THE 2 LEADING REGIMENTS OF THE ASSAULT ON WHAT IS KNOW BURNSIDES BRIDGE WERE THE 51ST NEW YORK AND 51ST PENNSYLVANIA, THEY TOOK THE GROUND, BUT THERE WAS NO FOLLOW UP ATTACK; ANTIETAM WAS A VICTORY FOR THE SOUTH AND A STALEMATE FOR THE UNION; NOT A VICTORY;
1071patrick 6 months ago
@1071patrick Burnside? Which battle are you talking about? Burnside was a corps commander at that time and had the misfortune of having his flank unexpectedly exposed to sudden Confederate reinforcements coming up from Harper's Ferry.
Though honestly, please stop using Caps Lock and type normally.
General McClellan was commander and he was from removed from the reality of the war to really prosecute it. Still, it was a Union victory as Lee was driven out of Maryland with heavy losses.
FLJBeliever1776 6 months ago
@FLJBeliever1776 YOU CAN THINK WHAT U WANT; IT WAS NOT A VICTORY; IF YOU CANT HANDLE MY TYPING IN CAPS BFD; LEE LOST MEN'; IF YOU WANT TO CONSIDER THAT A VICTORY FINE;BUT WHEN U HAVE A CHANCE TO CRUSH THE OPPOISNG ARMY AND U LET IT SLIP FROM UR HANDS IT'S NOT A VICTORY.McCLELLAN WAS NOT A GOOD WAR COMMANDER; FINUALLY WE AGREE ON SOMETHING. LINCOLN VISITED THE ARMY ONCE AND WAS WAS ASKED WHAT DO U THINK OF THE ARMY; HE STATED THAT IS INOT AN ARMY BUT McCLELLAN'S BODY GUARD.
1071patrick 6 months ago
@1071patrick Last warning to type normally or I'll report you, hear me loud and clear?
As for the battle, it was a defeat for Lee in Strategic sense.
Lee may have left the field with his army intact, but McClellan never deployed his full force either, so his losses were negated. Tactically speaking it was a draw for both sides.
On the other hand, Lee couldn't replace his troops and was ejected from Union soil, in that sense, he lost heavily and Lincoln went forward with freeing the slaves.
FLJBeliever1776 6 months ago
@FLJBeliever1776 ANY TIME U HAVE A CHANCE TO CRUSH YOUR OPPONET AND DO NOT OR CANNOT DO IT DUE TO NEGLIGENCE THAT IS A DEFEAT, THE ADVANCES THE UNION MADE WERE NOT FOLLOWED UP PROPERLY. OK FINE IT WAS A DRAW, HOWEVER IT'S STILLGOES IN THE BOOKS AS A DEFEAT, BECAUSE THE CSA WAS STILL VERY MUCH IN TACT AND WOULD REMAIN SO UNTIL THE SURRENDER IN APRIL OF 65, THE PROCOLMATION WAS NECESSARY AT THAT POINT; IF LE'E'S ARMY WAS DEFEATED AS IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THAT MAKES THE PROCOLAMATION A MUTE POINT
1071patrick 6 months ago
@1071patrick The battle was Tactically Inconclusive, but the CSA lost over 10,000 men in battle with nearly 2/5s KIA. Lee had only 38,000 men to command that day.
From a Strategic view point, the victory stopped Lee's First Invasion of the North cold and with the Emancipation Proclamation that followed, kept the French and British from recognizing the Confederacy as a nation.
Another effect was that Lee lost two generals and most of his troops had no ammunition, those it was a Strategic Victory.

@FLJBeliever1776 YOUR STILL NOT GETTING IT'; THE BRITISH WOULD NEVER HAVE JOINED THE CONFEDERACY AS LONG AS SLAVERY PERSISTED, THE WAR COULD HAVE ENDED THERE.LOOK AT WHAT HAPPEND IN 1776, THE SOUTHERN STATES AT THAT TIME REFUSED TO SIGN THE DEC OF INDEP, UNLESS THE NON SLAVERY CLAUSE WAS REMOVED, IF THEY HAD LEFT THAT THERE, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO SLAVERY TO MAKE AN ISSUE OF. THE WAR MAY HAVE COME,BUT THE FOCUS WOULD HAVE BEEN AND STAYED STATE'S RIGHT.
1071patrick 6 months ago
@1071patrick Oh really... than I guess the "Trent Incident" that nearly propelled them into joining the CSA is a bit of fiction now isn't it?
Better read up on it and yes, Limey and Frog support sat with the CSA as they feared a strong USA.
The only reason they did not enter early on was the issue of slavery, something the South desperately, but futilely tried to dispel as their reason for rebellion.
With Antietam a victory followed by the EP, the Brits and French stayed out of the war.
FLJBeliever1776 6 months ago
@FLJBeliever1776 SLAVERY WAS OUT LAWED IN THE ENGLISH COLONIES, AS A RESULT THEY WOULD NOT HAVE JOINED THE CSA,WITH OR WITHOUT ANTIETAM.

survas19 1 year ago
@survas19 I also respect the men who fought on both sides, because they were all Americans. However, to say that they were not fighting to keep slaves but "their way of life" is just plain false. The southern way of life was based entirely on slavery. The southern wealth, southern power rested entirely on agriculture, which it could not profit from without slave labor. Granted, poor white southerners didn't own slaves, but they fought to preserve the practice all the same.
rodmunch1973 1 year ago 2
@rodmunch1973 Not completely true. Some fought because they needed money. The army on both sides was a stable job that provided a decent pay with free clothes, shelter, and food. Others fought because they were bored or had something to prove. Some fought to get out of prison and some thought they were actually fighting for freedom. Granted there those that fought for slavery but that wasn't the only reason.

@rodmunch1973 Not every Southerner fought to preserve the practice. Many believed the government was becoming too radicalized and they feared that they would be swept up into that radicalization. They also believed the government was becoming too powerful and would threaten their rights of life, liberty, and property. There were some as well, like Gen. Robert E. Lee, who didn't approve of slavery but refused to fight against his native state.

Let us NEVER forget the heroes who gave their blood for this wonderful nation! Though their bodies are long gone, these soldiers' actions continue to speak to us today. Let us learn from these men who made the ultimate sacrifice for freedom and the nation they loved and pray that we never have to spill such blood again!

@demeandr121 mj is not a fucking hero hes a fucking child molestor. The boys at Gettysburg are the real heroes. What has mj ever done to honor them? Nothing why because he would rather molest children then honor those who gave there lives for his freedom. May the boys that fought at Gettysburg rest in peice for what they have done for this country.
