@keithehlert You are technically a yankee bastard since you live in what is today AMERICA. Ahh it's always good knowing that even poor southerners are yanks too :)
First off limey, you know damn well we aren't yankee bastards. You are just saying that to piss southern people off. Second, you are welcome to come to Dixie and talk you’re shit over here. You probably won’t, because you know you’d get you British ass kicked. In fact, you’d be lucky if you only got your ass kicked and not shot. We are, after all citizens over here and not unarmed subjects such as you.
@DixieRiverRat u r as u put it in ur terms "yankee bastards" because u live in what is today the UNITED states of America, not the Confederate states. You need to get over ur lost country it seems like but don't want to. And no i'm not i was simply making a correction to another statement that was made, i'm just here being honest. You can say I am being what ever u'd like to call it, but it's honesty.
@DixieRiverRat And what? your saying some youtube video IS DIXIE? A video can be ABOUT Dixie if that's what you mean. DIXIE itself was just a name for the long and gone confederate states of America the country no longer exists because it is now the UNITED STATES of America.. And also, I am not British, I am a yankee because I am an American, just like you are. So just another correction there. So continue on with ur Dixie rants but u must accept the fact that you are a United States American.
@AcHiEvehIgH3rGoALs88 Don’t try to tell me who I am. I know I am an American. I’ve been in the Coast Guard for 13 years and will serve many more. The division between north and south existed long before the war ever started. Even before the Revolutionary war there were cultural differences between north and south. Yes, Politically we are linked. Culturally, however, we are not. We’re not, nor will we ever be the same people.
@AcHiEvehIgH3rGoALs88 I thought you were English and that’s my fault. However, I still invite you to come down south and try saying that here. As I said before, the only reason you say the things you say is to inflame old passions.
@AcHiEvehIgH3rGoALs88 And no, the term Dixie was not coined to name the Confederate States. One theory is that is comes from the French word “dix” for the number 10. In French Louisiana the banks issued ten-dollar notes, labeled "Dix". The notes came to be known as "Dixies" by English-speaking southerners. New Orleans and the rest of French-speaking Louisiana came to be known as "Dixieland". Eventually, the term came to refer to most of the Southern States.
@AcHiEvehIgH3rGoALs88The other is that "Dixie" derives from the surveyor Jeremiah Dixon. Mr. Dixon surveyed the Mason-Dixon line which defined the border between Maryland and Pennsylvania, and later the rest of the northern and southern states. You should get your facts straight before running your mouth.
Duh, i'm not as stupid about history as you think. Otherwise why else would they call their southern country dixie? he was a hero to them. my point was that u were calling some video dixie (which it cant be, can only be about it) but dixie was a nickname for the south. that's basically what it was in the civil war era. just a correction. u totally walked away from our topic by going into the history of "dixie". admit your mistake, take my correction, thank me, move on, this argument is stupid.
@AcHiEvehIgH3rGoALs88 Jesse McCartney? I thought I was having a debate with a MAN! You may as well have had a picture of Justin Beber on your channel. This is Idiodic. I'm sorry I ever got sucked in to your little bullshit debate. OK little fella. Just keep runnin your mouth and keep thinking you matter. Buh bye now little boy.
Yeah, hah u dont know, u said "you are welcome to come to Dixie and talk you’re shit over here" stupid quote in the first place refering to a video as dixie. And I just love how you are sidestepping from our convo again with insults. 1, it shows how classless you southern folk are and secondly i could care less what u think about anything tht's on my channel but stalking my page is kinda creepish, just sayin.
@DixieRiverRat Also, I didnt know that people in the south knew who Justin Beiber or Jesse McCartney were...I didn't know people in the South had tvs. And u got sucked in? You chose to fight, i never made u. i was just responding to someone else and u decided to leave me the first response. If you don't want to fight, then don't make people hate you. pick your fights and conversations carefully. You can sling whatever u want, but when u do just remember you are representing your south.
disgusting waste of life it was...look at them regard their brothers as meat, truly sad....one of the most poignant images in this scene in that when the native is struggling with the freed slave enlisted man, the face of the slave says it all, it says: how could the native be on that side of the fence...this film is a strong reminder of why the civil war is bar none the most important war of our country, it was when guns enter the conversation about equality, the bubble of hypocrisy burst
They would have lost the fruits of victory at Crater; apart from the fact that also achieving the independence, the South would have been compelled to come within the Union as Texas had done. However North received a blessed miracle; if more mean had been slaughtered , the victories of Atlanta on those same days and the losses of men in the deep south would not have meant anything. Hoeever marvellous films not only for portrayal of the war, where new battles apart from Gettusburg are celebrated
So with LiNCOLN ALIVE AFTER A LIKELY CRUSHING VICTORY AT PETERSBURG they would have been cheated in staying in a Union they were turning down. However it was really the doom that North had to survive, because after such a crushing defeat no other rule or army in Europe would have survived; historians state that 500 to 700 soldiers died but in such a mass of men, I don't think that "only" so few men have lost lives; neither in the Great war there such slaughters
today we would be discussing another world' order but maybe fo a time we could say that the history would have gone in the same way; the temptation of power is too great in all the rulers and dictating the conditions of peace, the southerners would not have contented themselves and would have fallen in the flatterings and wheedlings of the shrewd politicians of the North; do freely with slavery but stay in the Union for democracy's sake and they would have betrayed the sacrifice of Lee's men
if we consider the war from a humanitarian point of view , every sentence is going to sound rhetorical, however; it is a simple slaughter, but if we consider the strict military point of view one fact is clear like the sun; South was not able to profit form this victory; if it is true that 18000 men were really in that hole and if the southerners had really killed all of them with an accurate aim: South would have won the war on the 30th July 1864 better than at Fredericksburg and maybe
@GQSmoke Well, in Afghanistan there are multiple counts of british soldiers (I dont know if there were any american) doing bayonet charges against insurgent forces
@Solarian2495 I dont question the bravery of soldiers who fight wars, but bayonet charged what? The vast insurgent trench networks and machine gun nests? They're a modern army with artilary and air support fighting dudes who's best tactic is blowing themselves up. Big difference imo
@Solarian2495 no dude, we looked at the battle of the somme and desided fuck bayonet carges, will just bring a couple of our helicopter gunships and slise and dice our opponents - so they can enjoy their 72 male virgins since muhamed ran out of female kind back in 04
@carlo88moe Are you one of those bullied weakling who never had the balls to smash your bully in the face; I bet if you were on the chief of staff in 1982, you would have told to the Argentineans - hang on old chap this is quite improper hang them back or we will launch a complaint against you in the u.n.
@RurickTheGreat what an obscure totally stupid way of expressing yourself, lol, seriously man, youre nuts. what you just said isnt indicative of your "vast knowledge of history," but more so your outlandish way of reasoning by using awkward,irrelevant metaphors...you couldve at least used a civil war metaphor, or a WW2 one(if at least to prove some consistency, like the consistency of those hermetic ww2 buff freaks-but even they sound more sane than you)
@RurickTheGreat lol, no dude, that was you, in the middle of a boxing match, suddenly stopping to grab a chair a try to hit me with it...all i'm saying as a reasonable competitors of boxing is, what the fuck is this guy doing--he's clearly trying to knock me out, but in boxing ur suppose to do it with fists--- in our argument your suppose to pown me with logic and reason, no by using weird ass means like some arcane allusion....
@carlo88moe ok then, what is your argument so i can produce a counter argument, besides i'm sick for pointing out that the us military has a policy of kill before you get killed
@GQSmoke And you're probably some pathetic, weak little gamer nerd who would cry at the thought of doing any fighting. You don't have a decent opinion, so don't bother sharing it.
@ePicPrOGaMeR12345 na I'm a man that's why I won't waste my time with a loser tryin to talk big over youtube get a life and 9 times out of 10 your describing yourself
@ePicPrOGaMeR12345 I have much respect for our troops and those abroad war is a serious business but in MY personal view I feel from the time of Antiquity all the way to WWII those guys were tougher. They weren't afraid to get in close and fight hand to hand bayonet to bayonet. My Grandfather fought in WWII and agreed his generation were tougher. You talk about my grammar but last I checc this is youtube I can type anyway I desire. Just like you can keep trying to insult my intelligence, sad man
@GQSmoke I haven't yet tried to call you stupid, I merely pointed out your lazy typing style.
Yeah, they were tougher back then. Anyone who fought in World War 2 was weak because it wasn't generally as bad as the First World War. Is that what you're saying? If so, what does that make you?
@ePicPrOGaMeR12345 how guys in WWII weak they fought just as nasty and worse in that war and in case you don't know the casualty rate was far higher in WWII than WWI and that's not even including civilian losses so that didn't make since to say that. And wat do I have to do with fighting here and then. That don't make since either
@GQSmoke Erm... look back at your previous comment to see where I'm coming from. Someone from WW1 could easily have thought WW2 was GENERALLY easier than the trenches they knew.
And I've managed to get over your bad grammar, but getting confused over the words "since" and "sense"? Fuck me, no wonder you're confined to the video comments section! Since = over the time from then to now, sense = clear and logical. Quite a difference.
@ePicPrOGaMeR12345 it's not the bad grammar that had me make that mistake I type extremely fast so I tend to mess up sad you qouted that wonder if that made you feel like a big boy? Anyway now honestly I forgot generals tended to force guys to charge trenches which is extremely brave. But guys such that of lets say for an example Carthage under Hannibal at The Battle of Cannae I rather charge a trench instead of fighting against 80,000+ roman legions who will kill every last one of us if we lose
@ePicPrOGaMeR12345 Not only that but Carthage's army is only about half that number (sorry romans were exactly 86,400!) and the main body is forced to hold them all in place (literally hold them in place with swords, shields, spears, fists, feet and even teeth) til the flanks envelop them which could fail and cause everyone to get a pilam up the ass. Now who ever soldiers kill these days they'll almost never see the life drain right out them.

@AllianzUltra That's what actually happened in real life. The original plan was to use Black solders in the first wave but it was considered to "Risky" and command replaced them at the last second with White troops who where not told to go around the Crater. The result was a disaster. Watch the real scene from the movie, its very powerful.
@JoeZeon100 They used black troops in the battle, they first didn´t want to because of prejudice but also the fact what the southerners would say by having black troops in the front attacking a fortified position. In real life they waited about an hour to attack after the blast, The union Commander was drunk and not present so the yanks got confused and walked into the crater. Then they got surronded by rebs and shot down, it was really bad planning
@todddoom BULLSHIT! they sent out a proclamation to the Union saying that any white officer caught leading black troops would be put to death. The South was terrified of black uprisings after the Nat Turner and Harper's Ferry incidents. It was illegal for a slave to have a firearm in their position from those uprisings to the end of the Civil War.
@RetrousseRaptor I would be interested in knowing where you got the information about executing white officers who led black troops because I don't believe it. I do know white officers were not executed for leading black troops. I also know there were black Confederate soldiers from the first battle of Mananas Virgina who had guns. There is a lot of misinformation out there about the US civil war.
@todddoom ur right. The South never issued that statement because if they had they would have had to kill their own officers as well who not only led black troops but black troops integrated into white units. Here's a shock for u RetrousseRaptor. ur precious Union segregated black units and the whites fighting for the North actually refused to fight alongside blacks to the point where Grant threatened to hang an entire regiment for refusing to fight alongside a black regiment
@todddoom and a lot of misleading anecdotal information like yours...ur info is akin to the misleading info that "not all slaves wanted to be free, many were happy under slavery."That might be true in proportionally rare cases, but that doesnt justify slavery. In your case, just because there were some black rebels,doesnt mean they were included as equals and doesnt give legitimacy to what the rebels wanted to continue,slavery.ur mention of black rebels suggests empathy for the CSA cause,absurd
if they hadnt replaced those black soldiers, which, by the way, were trained for months to attack around the crater and were drilled to go around it, the north could have captured the city of petersburg, surrounded lee's army, and ended the war right there. too bad it didnt happen that way, and more soldiers had to die before appomattox.
@JoeZeon100 Watch glory. the end scene is this scene right here. they did end up making some people up the crater but in the end just about everybody died.
It's funny how many people call it the "civil war" . When the term "civil war" means two factions within the same country fighting for control of the same government. It is actually, and historically correct if you say "War for Southern Independence" cause we did not fight for control of the government, we fought to be free of evil tyranny.
@thenoobfactor Um...yo might not know this but the American Civil War WAS a precursor of WW1 in terms of destruction and bloodshed-although obviously not in sheer numbers. What you really need to know is that the Civil War taught Americans that Napoleonic Tactics don't work anymore. WW1 did the same thing for Europeans.
@wilb6657, Yes, but nobody had the firepower to reduce land to a mudhole yet, Watch Gods and generals for a more realistic look at a civil war battle.
@thenoobfactor Have you even seen the crater that the Union soldiers created? It's STILL around today! So yes...the technology to create "mudholes" as you call them DID exist during the Civil War. All it took was alot of explosives, which people CERTAINLY knew about in the 1860's.
@wilb6657, the crater was only about 60 or 70 feet wide. This shows an entire field reduced to ash. So other than setting tnt all over for no reason people back then couldnt do this. Because the destruction in ww1 was due to artillery and massive rainfall. The civil war still only had cannonballs and virginia doesnt rain like france does.
@thenoobfactor Well, how big do you think craters were in WW1? The kind of destruction shown in this clip is ENTIRELY keeping with Civil War technology. This clip is generally accurate, except for the rain, maybe.
@wilb6657, Im talking about the single crater that was created from packing a mine under the confederate lines with explosives, WW1 had thousands of craters dotting the landscape. A more realistic setting would be a fairly large crater with the surrounding countryside as green as could be.
it is the WAR OF NORTHERN AGGRESSION as we southerners call it,not the civil war as their was NOTHING civil about it!

Anyway now honestly I forgot generals tended to force guys to charge trenches which is extremely brave. But guys such that of lets say for an example Carthage under Hannibal at The Battle of Cannae I rather charge a trench instead of fighting against 80,000+ roman legions who will kill every last one of us if we lose

@ePicPrOGaMeR12345 Not only that but Carthage's army is only about half that number (sorry romans were exactly 86,400!) and the main body is forced to hold them all in place (literally hold them in place with swords, shields, spears, fists, feet and even teeth) til the flanks envelop them which could fail and cause everyone to get a pilam up the ass. Now who ever soldiers kill these days they'll almost never see the life drain right out them.

@GQSmoke Erm... look back at your previous comment to see where I'm coming from. Someone from WW1 could easily have thought WW2 was GENERALLY easier than the trenches they knew.
And I've managed to get over your bad grammar, but getting confused over the words "since" and "sense"? Fuck me, no wonder you're confined to the video comments section! Since = over the time from then to now, sense = clear and logical. Quite a difference.

@ePicPrOGaMeR12345 I have much respect for our troops and those abroad war is a serious business but in MY personal view I feel from the time of Antiquity all the way to WWII those guys were tougher. They weren't afraid to get in close and fight hand to hand bayonet to bayonet. My Grandfather fought in WWII and agreed his generation were tougher. You talk about my grammar but last I checc this is youtube I can type anyway I desire. Just like you can keep trying to insult my intelligence sad man

what a stupid scene xD
AllianzUltra 1 year ago
@AllianzUltra That's what actually happened in real life. The original plan was to use Black solders in the first wave but it was considered to "Risky" and command replaced them at the last second with White troops who where not told to go around the Crater. The result was a disaster. Watch the real scene from the movie, its very powerful.

@JoeZeon100 They used black troops in the battle, they first didn´t want to because of prejudice but also the fact what the southerners would say by having black troops in the front attacking a fortified position. In real life they waited about an hour to attack after the blast, The union Commander was drunk and not present so the yanks got confused and walked into the crater. Then they got surronded by rebs and shot down, it was really bad planning

@todddoom BULLSHIT! they sent out a proclamation to the Union saying that any white officer caught leading black troops would be put to death. The South was terrified of black uprisings after the Nat Turner and Harper's Ferry incidents. It was illegal for a slave to have a firearm in their position from those uprisings to the end of the Civil War.

@RetrousseRaptor I would be interested in knowing where you got the information about executing white officers who led black troops because I don't believe it. I do know white officers were not executed for leading black troops. I also know there were black Confederate soldiers from the first battle of Mananas Virgina who had guns. There is a lot of misinformation out there about the US civil war.

@todddoom ur right. The South never issued that statement because if they had they would have had to kill their own officers as well who not only led black troops but black troops integrated into white units. Here's a shock for u RetrousseRaptor. ur precious Union segregated black units and the whites fighting for the North actually refused to fight alongside blacks to the point where Grant threatened to hang an entire regiment for refusing to fight alongside a black regiment

@todddoom and a lot of misleading anecdotal information like yours...ur info is akin to the misleading info that "not all slaves wanted to be free, many were happy under slavery."That might be true in proportionally rare cases, but that doesnt justify slavery. In your case, just because there were some black rebels,doesnt mean they were included as equals and doesnt give legitimacy to what the rebels wanted to continue,slavery.ur mention of black rebels suggests empathy for the CSA cause,absurd

if they hadnt replaced those black soldiers, which, by the way, were trained for months to attack around the crater and were drilled to go around it, the north could have captured the city of petersburg, surrounded lee's army, and ended the war right there. too bad it didnt happen that way, and more soldiers had to die before appomattox.

@JoeZeon100 Watch glory. the end scene is this scene right here. they did end up making some people up the crater but in the end just about everybody died.

It's funny how many people call it the "civil war" . When the term "civil war" means two factions within the same country fighting for control of the same government. It is actually, and historically correct if you say "War for Southern Independence" cause we did not fight for control of the government, we fought to be free of evil tyranny.

that sort of destruction to the battlefield didnt happen until ww1, and only after months of massive entrenched armies shelling each other
thenoobfactor 1 year ago
@thenoobfactor Um...yo might not know this but the American Civil War WAS a precursor of WW1 in terms of destruction and bloodshed-although obviously not in sheer numbers. What you really need to know is that the Civil War taught Americans that Napoleonic Tactics don't work anymore. WW1 did the same thing for Europeans.

@wilb6657, Yes, but nobody had the firepower to reduce land to a mudhole yet, Watch Gods and generals for a more realistic look at a civil war battle.
thenoobfactor 1 year ago
@thenoobfactor Have you even seen the crater that the Union soldiers created? It's STILL around today! So yes...the technology to create "mudholes" as you call them DID exist during the Civil War. All it took was alot of explosives, which people CERTAINLY knew about in the 1860's.
wilb6657 1 year ago
@wilb6657, the crater was only about 60 or 70 feet wide. This shows an entire field reduced to ash. So other than setting tnt all over for no reason people back then couldnt do this. Because the destruction in ww1 was due to artillery and massive rainfall. The civil war still only had cannonballs and virginia doesnt rain like france does.
thenoobfactor 1 year ago
@thenoobfactor Well, how big do you think craters were in WW1? The kind of destruction shown in this clip is ENTIRELY keeping with Civil War technology. This clip is generally accurate, except for the rain, maybe.
wilb6657 1 year ago
@wilb6657, Im talking about the single crater that was created from packing a mine under the confederate lines with explosives, WW1 had thousands of craters dotting the landscape. A more realistic setting would be a fairly large crater with the surrounding countryside as green as could be.
