An excellent, sincere, and full-hearted commentary on historical facts that should never be belittled or suppressed.
learned a lot more cause y'all, thank yall
I think of the straw foots whenever I hear people discuss the deep philosophy of the war. How much could they have understood about the larger issues if they didn't know their right from their left?
This really sounds one sided or should I say anti Sumner.
very informative. yall are very good at podcasting. it has every aspect I love in a podcast. deep dives and then the review summed up in an hour really helps as a refresher on everything discussed. ty for your work!!
super intriguing episode. such a complicated and fascinating topic.
love this episode. it really breaks down the whole concept of the war and puts plain and simply why the war started for anybody that wants to debate it in a different light this whole podcast is very thorough and complete and I enjoy it thoroughly I don't know what took me so long to start listening but I love podcast that really take their time and breakdown the story that they're telling and you guys do it to perfection you state the facts and aren't scared to say what it is and how it is and you don't sugarcoat anything
Such an interesting History podcast which really helped me to prepare the brilliant report for my college. At this site https://samploon.com/free-essays/civil-war/ I have also found some essay samples about Civil War which could be really useful for everyone who studies history.
I have family in Longmont. I had no idea you were that close to the fire
I don't see an issue with their voices at all, but if even so, if true for some, if one can't get past their voices to hear their content and impeccable research and story telling to give life and depth to the civil war not just a history liesson then i guess you'll have do a special search on any kind of podcasts to include: "people with really sweet nice voices that make me feel good."
You all forgot to mention that Whitney was a black man.
Sickles decision to move his line forward was a preposterously stupid decision, costing thoudands of innocent lives. He should have been hung for murder.
Nothing changes. Corrupt politicians, defense attorneys and judges. Sad that Gen Meade died young and that Sicky lived long enough to rewrite history regarding his role at Gettysburg. However, his wounding at Gettysburg was bad for Sickles but good for the Union army.
Dear Tracy.......please stop saying y'all. You sound like a complete, asshat. Thanks.
Archer never went to West Point.
I'm an old veteran listener, been in the Strawfoots for about 2 years now. It sounds like you guys are back to your inimitable best. Long may it continue. Now we approach the crux of the battle, and although we all know the outcome, its fascinating to discover how it all played out in the hills and ridges of Gettysberg.
Thank you for taking the time to do this podcast. It great listening and informative
I just started listening to podcast in my vehicle to and from work. It's a great story to hear. It's very informative. Thank you for taking the time and effort to put this out.
