RE: Today in History - Battle of Gettysburg ends

in #history5 years ago

oh i bet. I lived in Virginia for a time and they would have battle re-enactments from time to time, those were pretty special and also highlighted how exceptionally different combat was in the 1800's. It all seems a bit silly today actually since for a lot of it the infantry just stood in a straight line completely exposed in a field.

Sort:  

It makes you wonder how the officers who gave those orders could live with themselves after watching all those boys get slaughtered.
