Epic Civil War Reenactment [10,000+ Reenactors] -- Gettysburg 2013 Pickett's Charge

Just imagine if America wouldnt have fought itself, but joined together and fought the world, takeing it over in 1865... i think America would have been able to in that point in history. Definitely would have been one of the best militaries in the world at that time period.

This is.....retarded

The amount of powder in those 10pdr cannons per shot is like 30 bucks😬

The 🌹 must've been even more beautiful

Robert E lee: General pickett sir, you must look to your division!

General Pickett: General lee, I have no division!

the riots in the whitehouse be like

Who in the world believes this is how they fought? What garbage ! No strategy, no thousand of arrows launched, no flanking, no fireballs, no hot oil and so on……History as it’s told is a lie, dig deep and you will find out all of it is lies !

I was there with the 1st Tennessee Provisional (WIG).

Just as I remember.

As a non-American I have a question: Why are people always just standing in a line in the open shooting at each other? Was it really like that? Were soldiers not accustomed to ranged battle, including taking cover, tactics, etc, or is it something else?

I saw something like this recently on a much smaller scale but it was still so cool

we have actual footage of this war on film ... its weird to think that this was just 150 years ago

Dang this is a big War of Rights server

We need drone footage of this!

More hand to hand combat would be awesome

Give em Hell 54TH!!

¿Cómo es posible que la Guerra Civil Norteamericana hubiese cobrado una dimensión tan encarnizada en tan poco tiempo...? ¿Quién alimentaba esos odios y por qué...? ¿Cuáles fueron las motivaciones reales que desembocaron en la guerra...? ¿Tuvo algo que ver la Reserva Federal Norteamericana y el Decreto 11.110...? En fin... En el conjunto de Europa Occidental la gente se sentía realmente abrumada por el nivel de violencia que había adquirido la guerra en América. Una concatenación de matanzas entre hermanos sin una razón de peso que pudiera justificar de algún modo tantos años de lucha y sangre derramada. Una pena...

I wonder how many foreigners there are to go to American History Reenactment ?

Very good video well done to all 👍🇬🇧

Nothing says reenactment like 210kilos overweight officer charging unharmed straight into a volly

The dopamine I get from hearing the cannons blasting and the muskets firing is awesome! I have mad respect to all the people out there in costume and reenacting these historical encounters.

Can anyone tell which is the best Gettysburg reenactment to see for the 160th anniversary since there are actually a few different reenactments of this same battle?

👍

I can only imagine watching one day a reenactment of D Day that would be so awesome

if i was in the reenactment i would've been so racist lmfao

muskets aren't obsolete when you have thousands of them firing at will!

I think for these reenactment battles they should have paintball musket rifles that use a CO2 cartridge that will only fire 1 round. It would make it so much more realistic and epic

I absolutely love watching these war reenactments! It's like a brief look into the past.

Where can I sign up for this reenactment

I do this but I do it in europe

Morbid as it is, I've always been fascinated by the American Civil War. The tactics of stand in a formation and fire due to the reloading time of the firearms is so insane by today's lay-prone-and-fire method. I've been to a few encampments and reenactments and the sight and sounds of the battle never cease to mesmerize. One quick anecdote: I took my nephew to one and while we were in this stone grist mill, a cannon fired fifty yards away and the sound inside the structure was deafening. My nephew "met" Abraham Lincoln that visit as well. This was at NJ's Waterloo Village; a wonderful place I hope is still operational.

I am a Civil War nutcase. I truly am grateful for these reenactors and they do the best job possible. Unfortunately, for the fussy, the average age of the Civil War soldier was around 25 and they were generally thin and in good shape.

Boys in dogeball be like:

"Go Lee!" -👴🏻

Orchestra of musketry.

Im way to high for this

"OH CRAP JEFF, WE'RE ABOUT TO GET BLOWN INTO BITS" Pickett

Problem with Civil War Reenactment: too many participants are overweight/obese

Love being able to show my kids things like this when learning about the rev

Props to the cameraman for traveling back in time during the civil war to capture this astonishing footage

If you've never heard a cannon go off in person you'll never understand the psychological effect it will have. My childhood town of Somerset, KY had a guy who owned one and would fire it off once or twice on July 4th. Didn't matter where you were at the time if you were in the city or close by you heard this thing and knew exactly what it was.

Dead if you keep marching, dead if you turn around.

C0Ol That reenactment looks so original”!

Thanks for this, i have been there as the sun set it's one of the most emotional things I have ever experienced.

Helps you to envision the carnage of just walking into rifle and cannon fire .......... that would have been horrific

We should have a real one of these east vs west

I'd love to do this.
