we feature artifacts from the 2013e of gettysburg during . in 2015, our exhibit will feature artifacts and specimens in those last few months of the civil war, so visitors should look to see that on display. as we continue through the exhibit, we come across the story of captain henry wirtz. infamous role his as the commander of the andersonville prison, a pow camp run by the confederate army and known for its terrible conditions and interred thousands of union soldiers. upon their release, stories came out about the treatment that they underwent while prisoners of war. he himself was accused of a number of these crimes and claimed he could not have committed those crimes because of an injury to his right arm. he was tried and convicted. his claims failed to convict the for and he was convicted his crimes. after his execution, an examination of his arm, which we have in that jar right there showed no loss of use of any part of his arm, disproving the claim he made during his trial. also on display are the first cervical vertebra of his neck.

you think about the battle of gettysburg where these armies lose 20,009. how do they continue to function? they continue to function because the system that sustains them is well-developed. >> real quick. battles of annihilation are hard to achieve because the soldiers come from the same citizen soldier tradition. they have the same type of training that makes it harder to achieve an edge on one another. >> i would turn towards what i think is the single best military history of the war, how the north won. the argument is that it is a policy of exhaustion and rating strategy that ultimately -- and raiding strategy that ultimately wins the war. we have time for to break russia's. we need efficient -- two quick questions. we need efficient answers. >> this is just a comment. >> we need a question. >> i just want to point out where that statue is. the building you see in the background is the main federal courthouse in washington. if you are accused of any major governmental malfeasance, that is where you are going to be. my feeling is you may see that statut

after gettysburg, it's 10 months before there is another battle. after the eastern wilderness, it's two days, so it really is different in that regard, too, and we are now ready for another question. you already have the mic. >> i'm sorry, we will have to take that away from you. >> thank you all very much. wonderful talks. i was really curious about the fluid nature of the -- the events you describe after april 9. in the beginning, you talked about the exchange of letters about what extent grant's orders really apply to everyone else, so it got me thinking about to what extent the lincoln administration and union high command is engaged in some sort of planning before these events ake place to anticipate hopeful mass surrender and try to create a legal and practical framework to execute that. >> the short answer is that they do not think out these things the conversations lincoln has had with grant and sherman and others in late march. what grant is doing is trying to get the surrender of lee's army. ,'m not faulting him for this but that's not on

let's look at gettysburg leading up to that moment which we will come back to. the way i look at custer is i see him as a figure on a frontier in time. very loosely, the idea of modernization in american society, in american history. going into the civil war, america has many traits of an earlier, more traditional society. it is more personal in nature, not so organizational or technical, it is romantic and sentimental in culture. coming out of the civil war you begin to see more and more an organizational society, one that is technical, in which who you are does not matter so much as your qualifications, a world in which realism begins to supplant the romanticism and sentimentality that all the recruits in 1861 went to war with. interesting thing, custer, living in this frontier in time is that it is a transitional time just as the civil war is a transitional war. in some ways he grasps that moment very well and in some ways he disastrously fails to deal with the times he is helping to make. at west point, that is a good example. he graduated in the second clas

these campaigns at into the and gettysburg are not of conquest. he never expected to stay in maryland or pennsylvania. he was always going to go back to virginia. antietam stunned and shocked the north and had some political effect. gettysburg disrupted the plans for the season and wrongfooted the army of the potomac until november. it bought lee andi virginia summer. they both understand the value of what a raid, even a huge one can accomplish. neither is afraid to take a great risk to . think of grant landing the vicksburg campaign, making each men's stretch rations to last three and coming on the land to provide everything else. make the big decision that if there's one thing that sets them apart from almost all other army commanders in that war, it is that they were willing. they could take a huge risk knowing that it risked the lives of thousands and then get a good nights sleep. a nurturebring along from a few subordinates. grant is responsible for the rise of sherman. nobody else would have put up with them. he is also responsible for the r

speaking in gettysburg, pennsylvania. wednesday's shooting on a baseball field in virginia seemingly motivated by political anger highlighted deep divides. in the wake of the election. we traveled back to gettysburg this week to get a sense how president trump's supporters are viewing these tumultuous times. gettysburg, pennsylvania, is a charming, welcoming town. bordered by those vast fields that bear the scars and blood of battle. tourists from across america flock here. many from solid trump country. reflecting on where the country is today. >> here we stand in gettysburg. a place where -- where brothers fought. families were divided. i see that same thing happening in america today. and it concerns me greatly. i think there's a lot of -- a lot of finger-pointing. i think we have sort of lost our heart. >> reporter: jim is a pastor from idaho. wrapping up a cross-country trip with his friend, gary keeler. retired from a career in law enforcement. both men voted for donald trump. jim is having second thoughts. if the e

almost exclusively on home ground except for antietam and gettysburg. in short, lee has some substantially significant advantages to help offset grant's security of numbers and material. that they could offset those things. it is demonstrated by what lee did to burnside and hooker, another losing hand. at any of those officers been in command in virginia during the spring of 1864, is there any reason to suppose they would have done any better against lee than they had before. it's a tantalizing what if. there are strong differences in the personal pluses and minuses. in 1864 when they first meet on the field, lee is 57. which right now doesn't sound too old to me. mental, emotional and spiritual health were in decline. he suffered from heart ailments, which he treated mostly with quinine, which in many cases just aggravated the problem but no one knew that. he is tired. he complains about having energy. he complains he can't concentrate, that he has trouble seeing the war has exhausted him. mentally, he is older than his years. custis, themary daughter

form,as the first booklet official version of the gettysburg address. i thought it was interesting that when you look over to everett's speech, goes on and on and on, i flipped through it and i did not see applause and there very often. when you look at the short speech that many of us had to learn as schoolchildren, that lincoln gave, on the last page, you see they put, this is all of it right here. they put up laws in their several times in brackets put up this was -- they in bracketsuse because this was such a touchstone speech. bit differentttle from the way it was written. it was not remarked at the time as a powerful piece of oratory. it was only later as the years of his that the grace simple language as opposed to the ornate, flowery language of the famous orator sort of faded away. askedeople today, if you them, would not even know who ever edward -- edward everett was, but everyone would know that lincoln was there. twoade a graceful, eloquent minute speech that said everything that needed to be said. lincoln was not well that day. he was not

that was during the gettysburg campaign, when the union forces began to move down what today is route 50. as they were chasing lee, who was going down the shandong valley. mosby essentially told his men get out of the way, just find somewhere and hunker down. because he knew those odds were just too great. the only other time he lost his freedom of movement would be in the fall of 1864, when the loud on burning. two brigades of union cavalry came into the valley and began to burn it. again, mosby new his men were outnumbered and they moved to the flanks and stayed out of the way. other than that, mosby had great freedom of movement and that enabled him to be successful. he was never chased where the odds were so stacked against him that he didn't have a chance. you can see the quote here is them ride through green dark, that was written by herman melville, and it was about a union cavalry patrol that went into mosby's confederacy. written by herman melville, was essentially a true account of the union patrol and throughout that at the column, there is this feeling of mosby and his men

we have lights showers coming in and more of that west of gettysburg.s we look outside, we have sky6 live hd you see cloud cover over the ben franklin bridge this morning, but there is the hint of some breaks in the clouds, i think some of you will see sun early. later on today we may wind up clouding up a bit more. 65 degrees is the current temperature outside, the farther south you go through the region, the better chance you have of being around 70 or so, millville or dover feeling like 70 right now. winds out of the north at 3 miles per hour. very light. future tracker 6 shows you as we head up to noon there's a chance that some of the showers coming in down the shore, as a wave of low pressure will develop off the coast of the delmarva that will give you rain today. the other issue in the poconos perhaps coming down to reading and allentown. we'll be on the look out for showers and thunderstorms up in those neighborhoods. the latest model run has that up in the poconos tonight. but we do have to allow to come down to the lehigh valley in particular

gettysburg was very, very emotional for so many all. we were just at cedar creek in the fall. again, very emotional for us, and we are a second artillery group. we came down here at appomattox, the forge, and became a confederate group because general robert e. lee surrendered a battery forge and they asked if we could be part of that demonstration. i know the group we belong to or i belong to is about 80 people and we really like the living history piece. most of us are educators are former educators and like to interact with people. that's why i do what i do. i never served in the military, so this is my way of paying back those people that have gone before us and served our country. >> are there any stories you can remember from the past four years? john baronich: you know, there's a couple things that happen at every single event. i think -- my favorite -- not necessarily one particular thing, but at every event we seem to connect with the local people. like yesterday, for example, we had some chickens do and a couple ladies came by and we offered them, hey, you want some
