We live about 10 minutes from Spotsylvania courthouse. It was cool “finding our house” on your map and seeing the battle take place around it.

May these battles teach us the horrors of brothers fighting brothers….. May we never endure another war like these soldiers experienced!

I made it all the way to the last 4 minutes before the grandkids woke up, and like baby birds, they were chirping for breakfast. What a great video about our history, the brutality of war, and the men who fought for our freedom. Thank you sir !

The Civil War is a mystery to me. How men can do such things to each other is beyond my understanding. <br>I have seen Grant called a “butcher” because of this and other battles. You have to have a strong will to see men killed and maimed along with all of the other brutality and then continue on. I don’t believe that Grant was any more of a “butcher” than Lee was. Lee, himself, said that he knew that they could not win the war but that he had to let them learn that fact for themselves. What a terrible waste of life and responsibility for massive suffering. <br>I believe that the war would have ended much sooner if Lincoln had not had the most unwilling of Generals from the beginning. It was not until Grant and Sherman did the most difficult of brutal deeds in order to end the war that tide of the war turned.

I’m stopped in traffic on I-95 in Spotslvania Courthouse. I have a front row seat to the impenetrable wilderness. Moving an army through such terrain would be a challenge. <br>Thank you for your Amazing Historical Content!
