lee after the victory at gettysburg? those are the tow unanswered questions -- two unanswered questions that remain. historians are sorting out the answers. this book attempts to answer some of those questions. when lee retreated, after his defeat in 1863, and when meade pursued. we will talk about both aspects. there were two commanders in the army, one 56-year-old robert e lee, military officer, once considered so prominent abraham lincoln offered him command of the union army. he turned it down, preferring to raise his sword for family and home in virginia. he made the confederate army with stonewall jackson and long street and brought many victories. but he would face his greatest defeat. shelby foot once said gettysburg is the price the south paid to have robert ely. -- e. lee. his army lost a third of their soldiers, 28,000 casualties. military general robert ely would lose the -- e lee would lose the battle. most people have forgotten this name out of gettysburg, but there was george meade, native of pennsylvania,

you always heard buford's command had spencers at gettysburg. i'm going to quote for you one of the great military is of the 20th century. sherman p parter of the 407's evans nash. i have personally reviewed the ordinance returns of the army of the potomac for june 30, 1863. 92% of buford's company, not once go spencer was reported. it is a physical impossibility for them to have spencer carbines. it did not go into mass production until september of 1863. there may have been prototypes, but that was it. the only spencer rifles in the army of the potomac were all of the fifth and for companies of the six michigan calorie of the michigan calorie brigade assigned to jets until patrick's third calvary division. on june 30, they were fighting a battle in hannover, pennsylvania and were nowhere near gettysburg. this means that what buford will accomplish, it will be with a single shot reach looting carbine. such as, the sharks. also including the ballard, star, mallard and are inside -- burnside. these weapons trade rapid fire for sure range. -- shor

[ applause ] this is our third time taking the show to brooklyn. and even since we were here five years ago, things have changed. i don't want to sound like an old crank. but i remember a time here in brooklyn when if you wanted to take a bike on a one-way ride, you didn't need city bike, you stole a bike and took it on a one-way ride. [ laughter ] bikes are very necessary now. the subway is a nightmare. everywh

was gettysburg necessary. really, was gettysburg necessary. it almost makes you think of recent quotations of was the civil war necessary? anyway, was gettysburg necessary. and the implications of course was it wasn't necessary. our family had a spat. oh, too bad, too bad, too bad. and i'm going to give you two perfect examples of reconciliationist rhetoric. they both took place at gettysburg. one on the 50th anniversary of the battle, one on the 75th. and they were delivered by two people who let's just say they're not quite picked at random. wood row wilson and del nor roosevelt. here we have wilson. we found one another again as brothers and comrades in arms. except we shall not forget the splendid valor, the manly devotion of the men now grasping hands and smiling into each other's eyes. just a kind of collective american manhood that had fought for causes. we won't talk about what the causes were and whether one was right or wrong. these are american virtues of gallantry. emotion to cause and heroism. these are american virtues. not north

his orders to his army in invading the north, gettysburg, are almost sublime. hooker is saying that his orders, hands off civilians, were precisely right as far as hooker was concerned. and then he reveals himself, hooker does, as a thoughtful man. war has many evils at best. but in the hands of a truly great commander it burdens -- its burdens and terrors may be greatly ameliorated. war has its morality. in no instance has our government a higher mission than to perform than in her wars. what a contrast lee's character presents to that of general sherman's. whose orders to his army were to receipt for nothing and whose dispatches to his government were unworthy of a guerilla. he meant with g-u, not g-o. this speaks to his core beliefs of a conservative view of war. his commitment to morality in war, something that mcclellan certainly shared. his readiness to examine the character of others. which he did constantly. his unwillingness to praise. or at least to praise without a counter-balancing criticism. and so, hooker engaged in damning almost anyone who imped

[applause] dan: good morning. before we get started, i would like to take a moment to think -- thank all of my colleagues and all of you for getting up so cominghis morning and out to learn a little bit more about stonewall jackson. jackson's defensive line had been bruised and battered, subjected to numerous federal 29,cks throughout august and on the afternoon of august 30, some of jackson's union's -- jackson's units literally had nothing left to give. colonel stafford johnson had been engaged for 30 minutes. men from new york, michigan, pennsylvania, and massachusetts assailed the confederate and the responses of the confederate defenders had run dry. numerous confederates scoured the dead

emerge in the early 20th century ready to clasp hands at gettysburg. the union veterans embrace this. it is just not true at all. as early as 1860 day are passing resolutions demanded the execution of jefferson davis and robert a lead. they are sending petitions to one carpenter -- for aawn blueprints western face of the capital for the execution that the confederate leaders. they are doing these things all the time. they are sunnis and the national tribune and the grand army journal. you can see all of that. those efforts to counter this lost cause. ultimately they are unsuccessful. it is not for a lack of trying. >> other questions? we have one in the back there. try to come back. >> you were talking earlier thet the idea of defending idea of america. there is another area that is not talked about much. that was great britain. the british were very conflicted about the war. about what they should do or not do about this. the american delegation over there did a lot to combat that. to make sure that the british state on the right side of the conflict.

i can think of five different in july at gettysburg. any one of them may qualify as a great defense. there is a debatable proposition , i know, for many people. we have the third day at chancellorsville. there is the army of tennessee. holding together at atlanta. being attacked from both sides. having their commander get killed, decapitated during the middle of battle. then there is chris hill. the battle of chickamauga. those are the ones that come to mind immediately with the stakes being the highest but also where , the odds -- to borrow a quote. the nearest run thing in your life. those are the candidates i would submit for the great defenses of the civil war. >> [indiscernible] steward? teward? as you have already stated, usually when i speak about the united states colored i talk about them fighting against the army of northern virginia. but today, i am going to talk about the first major action of the united states colored troops, and that is going to be a little discussed battle called the battle of wilson's wharf. reenactment

i can think of any other points -- a gettysburg that may qualify as a great defense. there is a debatable proposition i would put near the top. i know many people have the it third day at chancellorsville. there is the army of tennessee. holding together at atlanta. the attack them both sides with their commanders decapitated during the battle. then there is chris hill. those would be the ones that come to mind immediately with the stakes are the highest but also where the odds -- to borrow a quote. the nearest thing in your life. that is how i define a great defense. those would be some of the candidates i would pursue with the civil war. stewart? >> as you have stated, usually when i talk about this fighting against the army of northern virginia they talk about the 23rd and their first skirmish with the army of northern virginia. today i am going to talk about the first major action of the united states. that is going to be a little discussed panel called the battle for wilson's war. most reenactors and many of them i have reconnected with we do a annual reenactment

he wrote a history book that envisioned a confederate victory at gettysburg. attacking the munich settlements, he said do not suppose this is the end, this is only the beginning of the reckoning, this is the first taste of a bitter cup. he said this cup will be proffered to us year-by-year unless by a supreme recovery of martial vigor we take our stand for freedom as in the olden time. that knowledge suffused in him that britain was not as morally healthy as she had been in the olden times, tormented him. by articulating it, he was able to talk the british people into becoming as brave and morally vigorous as he and as their ancestors. it is not too much to say that without his historical imagination, this living sense of history, he could not have warned britain and the world of what he was to call a new dark age. today that analogy would also fall completely flat, or any prime minister unwise enough to employ it because the dark ages are not taught at all in britain schools today. after the war had started, he told a victorious crew at a celebratory lunch at
