Here's a snippet from the transcript at the 07:10 mark...

Now we love today to look back at the American Civil War and because of this disparity of resources that I've already told you about think that the end of the war was inevitable and that the north would win.

Not so fast. Especially when you get the Gettysburg Campaign in 1863.

Will in the north is eroding just like the Confederates are hoping for because the cost of blood of this war is unprecedented.

You can take any major Civil War battle--you name it--Bull Run, Antietam, Gettysburg, Chancellorsville. You name the battle. That battle by itself [one of the aforementioned] one, two, three day event exceeds all the casualties the United States had in the American Revolution, The war of 1812, and the Mexican War combined.

I saw this, this one is the best. I wish he had more posted.

This is where the much maligned Custer saved the union by stopping Stuart. Had Custer not achieved that, Picket’s charge would have occurred in coordination with a confederate attack from the rear.

Custer saved the battle, and probably the Union. People were well aware of that back then.

"Battle of Gettysburg: why J.E.B. Stuart ends up in Carlisle..."

The correct question is, why wasn't Stewart at Gettysburg from the outset? But the answer to both questions is the same five words: Uncle Bob screwed the pooch.

Great video, I agree with all of it except the part where he says what “we” means. ;-)
