"Well the original Singing Bull was from back in the 1800's... this gal had a singing bull on a ranch. She took it around, it sang all these songs, it could pick up songs, you'd relay these songs to it and then it would get it back to you, it would sing it back to you... so what she did is, she took it around, took it to all these mine camps, made a small little amount of money, you know, and entertained people. ...she goes back to the ranch, there's nothin' to eat, everything's gone to hell, there's no food, nothin', so she cuts up Caroliner and eats it, wraps it in its own skin and it keeps on singin'" says B'sau-Sau in Wingnut Magazine in 1991.

They recreated his songs using relatively harsh noise, garbled vocals, organs, violin, fiddles, accordions, guitars, banjos, Jew's harps, and many other instruments.

Thank you. You're one of the few people I've ever seen comment that Lee's offensive minded approach wasn't borne of ignorance or stupidity, but the fact that the South was starving, and by the time the war had begun, the only realistic path toward Southern independence was to force the Union to heel. Marylanders and Pennsylvanians were shaken by the invasion, and had some monumental victory been won on Northern soil, the end probably would have been the same, but it was their only chance, and Lee understood that. Even he was loathe to attack at Gettysburg, but his army was undersupplied and hungry, and he didn't have the luxury to roam hostile territory until the situation favored him. Longstreet plan was no more realistic than Lee's.

"no one cannot deny their bravery," not sure what that means. Also, no one can, accurately, or legitimately, deny that the first offensive act of the Civil War was the Confederate attack on Federal Fort Sumter, or that nine of the Confederate states' secession ordinances clearly stated that their purpose was to keep slavery legal. For this, they were willing to destroy the Union. Further, the former Confederacy in essence "won" the peace with post-Reconstruction White supremacy, denying voting rights, public education, and fair employment opportunities to African American former slaves and free persons; then there were over 4,000 lynchings, 1882-1968. The legal end to this "servitude in peace" did not commence until the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (House 289-126; Senate 73-27) and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (House 333-85); Senate 77-19), and even after that, there has been extensive racism against Blacks. Statues on public land and public school names for Confederate leaders? Absolutely not!

@@PrismRisen Fort Sumter was being resupplied by many US ships enroute. Do you think the Confederates were going to allow that ? Was the Union to be forced down the throats of those who wanted a separate and legal nation ? And initially, the North had no problem with slavery. There were many slaveowners in the northern states. Also, more importantly, the North wanted to force upon the South and ensuing western states a huge tariff that would be increased with time -- the real reason for the southern secession.

@clamchowder622

5w↑1

@karencarter8292 they should have sent out boats of their own to block the resupply ships. Hindsight is 20/20, but the bombardment of Fort Sumter is what galvanized disinterested northerners to support war. Had we blockaded Fort Sumter, supplied the Union troops with food but nothing else, and forced the Union to attack, there would have been less northern support, and more foreign recognition of the Confederacy. Problem is the South was a culture of gentlemen and chivalry. It was considered dishonorable to allow Fort Sumter to remain occupied by foreign soldiers without fighting them for it.

At 60 years old I can say I have dwelt deeply through the years on this awful conflict. My Choctaw/Cherokee side of the family fought for the South, my Fathers side were New England Yankees, much to ponder through the years. I have often openly stated the "what if" of Jacksons death, The South may very well have won Gettysburg or at least achieved a tactical draw, I have read that Jackson just showing up spooked many Northern Generals...... But history is nothing but brutally honest when viewed in truth.... Jackson died and no what ifs will ever change that. Lee stumbled at Gettysburg in my humble opinion and without his trusted right hand named Jackson he and the Southern army were never the same. The North had the numbers, the industry and the infrastructure and could afford the longest of wars. The loss of Jackson and defeat at Gettysburg ended the Confederate cause, honestly they should have sued for peace and saved countless lives and a drawn out reconstruction of their homes and cities. God Bless the bravery of the soldiers on both sides and God Bless The United States of America.

Using percentages like that is stupid. Any larger army is going to lose a smaller percentage of their men, which was the case of almost every major battle in the Civil War. If 10 elite soldiers hold out against 500 enemies, the elite soldiers, if they pulled off a victory, will almost certainly lose a higher percentage of men. 5 casualties of SF= 50%, 50 casualties of enemies=10%. By your logic, we should demean the extraordinary feat of the elite soldiers because of "higher percentage of soldiers" lost. Give me a break.

@jwiles545

8w↑2

@@WestTNConfed No, its not stupid, its logical. The cold hard reality of the war was that the South either needed an astounding victory in which the Army of the Potomac was utterly defeated and the Confederate army could take Washington. Which was highly unlikely. Or they needed to bleed the Union while conserving their own men (ie like Fredericksburg). A battle where they stop the enemy Army, but in the process, lose a higher percentage of their own men, may look great in the papers of the time, but it does little regarding actually winning the war. The reality is that due to the heavy losses at Chancellorsville and then later at Gettysburg, the offensive power of the ANV was nearly gone by August of 1863. They could only play defense against the Yankee armies.

@@jwiles545 You're talking about two different things. Chancellorsville was Lee's greatest tactical victory. You can make the argument that it wasn't the Confederacy's greatest strategic victory, which it was not. It would have been, if Jackson's corps was able to cut off the army's route of retreat, which would destroyed the entire Union army. The point you're bringing up is macro-warfare, but this video and the "greatest" title is referring to micro-warfare and Lee/Jackson's tactical genius.

@@WestTNConfed the thread is titled greatest victory, not greatest tactical victory.

Imagine if Lee had withdrawn to a good defensive position on the second day and pinned Meads forces long enough for a composite force under Jackson to threaten Washington.

@alexdelarge209

Historians seldom ask: What was a Corps Commander doing at dusk, at guard-change, during re-deployment wandering around 'The Wilderness' in the dark amid cavalry charges & indirect artillery fire "scouting"? Jackson must have been v. frustrated & trying desperately to avoid what happened on the 2nd day. The victorious Confederates were more disorganized than the retreating Union who were falling back on to reserves the way they had come, condensing as they went. Lee had no reserves & Jackson knew it. Early (? I think) was barely able too hold Lee's rear from F'burg. Presumably Jackson was frustrated by the late hour (not started 'til after 3P & was trying to restore order & keep the momentum up) - maybe into the night. It makes an interesting contrast with Longstreet v. early, misty, AM on the 2nd day at G'burg. Longstreet asked for (but was refused) permission to personally reconnoiter - then blamed for being slow when he ran into the same sight-line-of-sight-observation problem that re-directed Jackson's maneuver.

Chancellorsville was in no way the Confederacy's greatest victory. Lee himself said that the AoNV's loss was severe, that they had gained no ground, and that the AotP had not been pursued. Added to that is that they lost a corps commander as well. The only significant impact of Chancellorsville is that Hooker's will was battered- and that led directly to the appointment of Meade. Chancellorsville was in fact one of the costliest victories which the Confederacy experienced during the entire conflict.

Very good video. I am a great fan of General Lee , but he was a gambler who knew he must force Washington to sign a peace treaty or everything was loss.He had two years . I used to admire bravery and skill etc but getting old know wars are won by attrition . McClellan and company may appear to be fools and incompetents but over all the Union Army never loss the men the South did. The South fought for "The Cause "great and noble . The Union simply bled the South to death. The War was over before Grant took over. The sad state of the human condition even to today is change only comes when enough people are killed and useless ideas are exterminated. Enough Southerners died .More than enough.

Graphics get better all the time... One note - road marching columns were almost always in 4's. There isn't any command in Hardee's or Gilhams for any column wider than 4. Is there a way to adjust that in the graphics?

Unfortunately not , on this game I can’t make the columns smaller

Very middle of the road AI visuals. Jackson’s charge was made on the exposed flank of the Union Army, Howard’s XI Corps, positioned in dense woods. They were completely surprised, their first hint they were being attacked was a horde of wildlife, deer, squirrels, raccoons, etc. stampeding through their camp, knocking over their stacked muskets and jumping over their campfires. Then came the eerie Rebel Yell, then came thousands of gray backs - faces scratched from brambles and screaming at them over leveled bayonets…your visual portrayal completely ignores this, and would have been much more interesting if you had made more of an effort.

The Federal victory at Gettysburg, with 104,000 men (93,921 engaged strength) who just sat on their asses while the outnumbered Army of Northern Virginia of 72,000 attacked for three days, has nothing to do with the incredible Confederate victory achieved with 60,300 men (which again did most of the attacking) facing Hooker’s Army of the Potomac numbering 133,900 men. “God Almighty will not prevent the destruction of the rebel army!” and “The rebel army is now the legitimate property of the Army of the Potomac...(other rantings)…God have mercy on General Lee, for I will have none” – famous blasphemous and overly optimistic phrases uttered before the battle by the ultimately defeated, Major-General Hooker!!!

@manilajohn0182

@@joegatt2306 The AotP did well at Gettysburg. Lee had never planned on attacking at all in Pennsylvania. He was forced to do so because his original plan of campaign was ruined due to multiple errors made by Lee himself. That was Lee's fault.

Chancellorsville OTOH, was a startling but costly victory for the Confederacy. Lee himself said that the AoNV's loss was severe, that they had gained no ground, and that the AotP had not been pursued. Added to that is that he lost Jackson as well. The only significant impact of Chancellorsville is that Hooker's will was battered- and that led directly to the appointment of Meade. Chancellorsville was in fact one of the costliest victories which the Confederacy experienced during the entire conflict.

In fact, Lee was not beyond voicing his own veiled but clearly contemptuous attitude toward the AotP. For over a year, he referred to Union soldiers as "those people". After being defeated at Gettysburg, her began referring to them as "the enemy".

@@manilajohn0182 Dividing your army, not twice, but trice and boldly attacking your enemy, more than twice your strength is bound to get you casualties, (although the one single casualty that Lee suffered at Chancellorsville, was the one that mattered most, and the one that maybe cost the South its chance of final victory).
I see more contempt referring to the Confederate or Southern Armies as 'Rebels', than 'those people' or 'the enemy'. Who were the Federals, if not the enemy? Ask the 'people' of Fredericksburg, Vicksburg, Atlanta, Columbia, Richmond, Charleston....

The battle wasn’t Lee’s greatest victory. The north only had more casualties because they had more men who were missing. Both sides had almost the exact same number of men who were killed and wounded plus Lee lost Jackson one of his better generals.

I like the videos, but this is clearly a yankee point of view. To say that Robert. E. Lee was so vain as to consider his army invincible is laughable. Also, first hand accounts, DO NOT credit the 11th corps of a "brave stand." Good video, but biased. This defeat on the heals of Fredicksburg was devastating.

Not strategically, only to those who were killed or maimed for life and their families. But for those very real, tragic personal losses, the Union hardly felt it.
