1
00:00:03,664 --> 00:00:05,541
WHEN JOHNNY
COMES MARCHING HOME PLAYS

2
00:00:14,633 --> 00:00:16,969
MAN: THERE'S A PHOTOGRAPH
I'M VERY FOND OF.

3
00:00:17,136 --> 00:00:19,138
IT SHOWS
3 CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS

4
00:00:19,305 --> 00:00:22,099
WHO WERE CAPTURED
AT GETTYSBURG,

5
00:00:22,266 --> 00:00:25,394
AND THEY HAVE POSED IN FRONT OF
OR ALONGSIDE

6
00:00:25,561 --> 00:00:27,271
ASNAKE-RAIL FENCE.

7
00:00:27,438 --> 00:00:28,564
AND YOU SEE EXACTLY HOW

8
00:00:28,731 --> 00:00:31,066
THE CONFEDERATE SOLDIER
WAS DRESSED.

9
00:00:31,233 --> 00:00:33,902
YOU SEE SOMETHING IN
HIS ATTITUDE TOWARD THE CAMERA

10
00:00:34,069 --> 00:00:36,113
THAT'S REVEALING
OF HIS NATURE,

11
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:41,744
AND ONE OF THEM
HAS HIS ARMS LIKE THIS,

12
00:00:41,910 --> 00:00:43,704
AS IF HE'S HAVING
HIS PICTURE MADE,

13
00:00:43,871 --> 00:00:47,374
BUT HE'S DETERMINED TO BE
THE INDIVIDUAL HE IS.

14
00:00:47,541 --> 00:00:48,751
AND THERE'S SOMETHING
ABOUT THAT PICTURE

15
00:00:48,917 --> 00:00:51,587
THAT DRAWS ME STRONGLY
AS AN IMAGE OF THE WAR.

16
00:01:00,471 --> 00:01:02,222
RUMBLING

17
00:01:02,389 --> 00:01:04,391
NARRATOR: MORE THAN ONCE
DURING THE CIVIL WAR,

18
00:01:04,558 --> 00:01:08,103
NEWSPAPERS REPORTED
A STRANGE PHENOMENON.

19
00:01:08,270 --> 00:01:09,772
FROM ONLY
A FEW MILES AWAY,

20
00:01:09,938 --> 00:01:12,608
A BATTLE SOMETIMES
MADE NO SOUND,

21
00:01:12,775 --> 00:01:14,943
DESPITE THE FLASH
AND SMOKE OF CANNON

22
00:01:15,110 --> 00:01:16,737
AND THE FACT
THAT MORE-DISTANT OBSERVERS

23
00:01:16,904 --> 00:01:18,947
COULD HEAR IT CLEARLY.

24
00:01:19,114 --> 00:01:23,202
THESE EERIE SILENCES
WERE CALLED ACOUSTIC SHADOWS.

25
00:01:40,427 --> 00:01:42,137
IN THE SUMMER OF 1863,

26
00:01:42,304 --> 00:01:43,639
AUNION WARSHIP,

27
00:01:43,806 --> 00:01:46,850
HUNTING A CONFEDERATE
COMMERCE RAIDER OFF YOKOHAMA,

28
00:01:47,017 --> 00:01:48,519
ATTACKED A JAPANESE FLEET

29
00:01:48,686 --> 00:01:52,398
FOR HARASSING THE COLONY
OF WESTERNERS THERE.

30
00:01:52,564 --> 00:01:54,775
THE UNITED STATES WON
ITS FIRST NAVAL BATTLE

31
00:01:54,942 --> 00:01:57,277
AGAINST THE EMPIRE
OF JAPAN,

32
00:01:57,444 --> 00:01:59,113
BUT THE CONFEDERATES
GOT AWAY.

33
00:02:05,661 --> 00:02:06,870
IN PARIS THAT YEAR,

34
00:02:07,037 --> 00:02:10,165
NEW PAINTINGS BY CEZANNE,
WHISTLER, AND MANET

35
00:02:10,332 --> 00:02:14,253
WERE SHOWN AT A SPECIAL EXHIBIT
FOR OUTCASTS.

36
00:02:14,420 --> 00:02:16,422
IN RUSSIA,
DOSTOYEVSKY FINISHED

37
00:02:16,588 --> 00:02:18,549
NOTES FROM THE UNDERGROUND,

38
00:02:18,716 --> 00:02:19,925
AND IN LONDON,

39
00:02:20,092 --> 00:02:22,886
KARL MARX LABORED TO COMPLETE
HIS MASTERPIECE,

40
00:02:23,053 --> 00:02:24,179
DAS KAPITAL.

41
00:02:29,727 --> 00:02:32,146
FOR THE FIRST 6 MONTHS
OF 1863,

42
00:02:32,312 --> 00:02:34,440
ROBERT E. LEE
AND STONEWALL JACKSON

43
00:02:34,606 --> 00:02:36,775
HAD CARRIED OUT
ONE OF THE MOST EXTRAORDINARY

44
00:02:36,942 --> 00:02:40,821
MILITARY CAMPAIGNS IN HISTORY,

45
00:02:40,988 --> 00:02:42,865
SMASHING
HUGE FEDERAL ARMIES

46
00:02:43,031 --> 00:02:45,826
AT FREDERICKSBURG
AND CHANCELLORSVILLE

47
00:02:45,993 --> 00:02:48,078
AND WINNING THE UNDYING LOVE
OF THE SOUTH.

48
00:02:52,249 --> 00:02:55,669
BUT BY LATE MAY,
CONFEDERATE LUCK HAD CHANGED.

49
00:02:55,836 --> 00:02:56,962
JACKSON WAS DEAD.

50
00:03:00,007 --> 00:03:02,718
ATHOUSAND MILES TO THE WEST,
ULYSSES S. GRANT'S SIEGE

51
00:03:02,885 --> 00:03:04,887
OF THE REBEL STRONGHOLD
AT VICKSBURG

52
00:03:05,053 --> 00:03:06,680
HAD GONE ON SO LONG

53
00:03:06,847 --> 00:03:11,727
THAT GRANT HIMSELF HAD TAKEN
TO THE BOTTLE OUT OF BOREDOM.

54
00:03:11,894 --> 00:03:12,895
AS JUNE BEGAN,

55
00:03:13,061 --> 00:03:14,813
THE CONFEDERATES
INSIDE THE TOWN

56
00:03:14,980 --> 00:03:16,732
SOMEHOW MANAGED TO HOLD ON.

57
00:03:19,485 --> 00:03:22,780
NOW, TO DRAW FEDERAL TROOPS
AWAY FROM VICKSBURG,

58
00:03:22,946 --> 00:03:25,991
LEE LED HIS ARMY
ONTO NORTHERN SOIL AGAIN,

59
00:03:26,158 --> 00:03:27,993
LOOKING FOR THE RIGHT MOMENT
TO ATTACK.

60
00:03:31,038 --> 00:03:35,000
WHEN IT CAME,
ON THE MORNING OF JULY1, 1863,

61
00:03:35,167 --> 00:03:37,419
IT WOULD BE
IN THE MOST ORDINARY OF PLACES.

62
00:03:40,047 --> 00:03:41,632
FOR 3 DAYS,

63
00:03:41,799 --> 00:03:45,093
150,000 MEN WOULD MAKE WAR
ON EACH OTHER

64
00:03:45,260 --> 00:03:47,888
IN THE GENTLE FARMLAND
OF SOUTH PENNSYLVANIA.

65
00:03:50,390 --> 00:03:52,935
WHEN THE THIRD DAY WAS OVER,
IT WOULD PROVE TO HAVE BEEN

66
00:03:53,101 --> 00:03:55,479
THE MOST CRUCIAL DAY
OF THE ENTIRE WAR.

67
00:03:58,857 --> 00:04:01,527
IN THE SOUTH,
THE WAR HAD RUINED THE ECONOMY,

68
00:04:01,693 --> 00:04:03,320
AND YET THE SOUTHERN
FIGHTING SPIRIT

69
00:04:03,487 --> 00:04:05,906
WAS STRONGER
THAN EVER BEFORE.

70
00:04:06,073 --> 00:04:08,492
IN THE NORTH,
WHERE INDUSTRY WAS BOOMING,

71
00:04:08,659 --> 00:04:10,994
ANGRY WORKING MEN WOULD SOON
TAKE TO THE STREETS

72
00:04:11,161 --> 00:04:14,373
IN PROTEST AGAINST
EMANCIPATION AND THE WAR.

73
00:04:17,584 --> 00:04:20,045
AT THE END OF THE YEAR,
ABRAHAM LINCOLN WOULD TRAVEL

74
00:04:20,212 --> 00:04:22,923
TO THE NOW-QUIET FIELDS
AT GETTYSBURG

75
00:04:23,090 --> 00:04:25,133
AND STRUGGLE
TO PUT INTO WORDS

76
00:04:25,300 --> 00:04:27,052
WHAT WAS HAPPENING
TO HIS PEOPLE.

77
00:04:32,432 --> 00:04:35,310
WHEN A BLACK SOLDIER
IN NEW ORLEANS SAID,

78
00:04:35,477 --> 00:04:38,814
"LIBERTY MUST TAKE THE DAY,
NOTHING SHORTER,"

79
00:04:38,981 --> 00:04:40,983
HE SAID, IN EFFECT,

80
00:04:41,149 --> 00:04:43,944
THAT WHEN WE COUNT UP
THOSE WHO HAVE DIED,

81
00:04:44,111 --> 00:04:45,654
WHEN WE SURVEY
THE CARNAGE,

82
00:04:45,821 --> 00:04:48,615
IT MUST BE
FOR SOMETHING HIGHER

83
00:04:48,782 --> 00:04:53,370
THAN UNION AND FREE NAVIGATION
OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER.

84
00:04:55,247 --> 00:04:58,041
DURING THE SUMMER
OF 1863,

85
00:04:58,208 --> 00:05:02,170
ACONVENTION OF FREE
BLACK PEOPLE DEMANDED THE RIGHT

86
00:05:02,337 --> 00:05:05,966
FOR BLACK MEN TO TAKE PART
IN THE STRUGGLE AS SOLDIERS,

87
00:05:06,133 --> 00:05:08,385
AND THEIR
KEY RESOLUTION SAID,

88
00:05:08,552 --> 00:05:11,555
"IT IS TIME NOW
FOR MORE EFFECTIVE REMEDIES

89
00:05:11,722 --> 00:05:13,015
"TO BE THOROUGHLY TRIED

90
00:05:13,181 --> 00:05:16,727
"IN THE SHAPE OF WARM LEAD
AND COLD STEEL

91
00:05:16,894 --> 00:05:20,355
DULY ADMINISTERED
BY 100,000 BLACK DOCTORS."

92
00:05:20,522 --> 00:05:22,399
GUNFIRE

93
00:05:28,697 --> 00:05:29,656
NARRATOR: EARLY IN THE WAR,

94
00:05:29,823 --> 00:05:31,867
A FUGITIVE SLAVE
NAMED ALEX TURNER

95
00:05:32,034 --> 00:05:33,243
HAD MADE HIS WAY NORTH

96
00:05:33,410 --> 00:05:36,997
AND JOINED
THE 1st NEW JERSEY CAVALRY.

97
00:05:37,164 --> 00:05:39,458
IN THE SPRING OF 1863,

98
00:05:39,625 --> 00:05:42,044
HE GUIDED HIS REGIMENT
BACK TO HIS OLD PLANTATION

99
00:05:42,210 --> 00:05:45,923
AT PORT ROYAL, VIRGINIA,
AND KILLED HIS FORMER OVERSEER.

100
00:05:48,383 --> 00:05:49,676
WHEN THE WAR WAS OVER,

101
00:05:49,843 --> 00:05:54,181
HE WENT TO NEW ENGLAND
AND FOUND WORK AS A LOGGER.

102
00:05:54,348 --> 00:05:57,601
IN 1883, HIS DAUGHTER DAISY
WAS BORN.

103
00:06:02,522 --> 00:06:04,942
"DEAR MADAM,

104
00:06:05,108 --> 00:06:07,527
"I AM ASOLDIER,

105
00:06:07,694 --> 00:06:10,572
"AND MY SPEECH
IS ROUGH AND PLAIN.

106
00:06:10,739 --> 00:06:12,866
"I'M NOT
MUCH USED TO WRITING,

107
00:06:13,033 --> 00:06:15,786
"AND I HATE
TO GIVE YOU PAIN,

108
00:06:15,953 --> 00:06:18,538
"BUT I PROMISED
I WOULD DO IT,

109
00:06:18,705 --> 00:06:21,583
"AND HE THOUGHT
IT MIGHT BE SO,

110
00:06:21,750 --> 00:06:24,419
"IF IT CAME FROM ONE
THAT LOVED HIM

111
00:06:24,586 --> 00:06:27,631
"PERHAPS IT WOULD
EASE THE BLOW.

112
00:06:27,798 --> 00:06:31,051
"BY THIS TIME,
YOU MUST SURELY GUESS

113
00:06:31,218 --> 00:06:33,762
"THE TRUTH
IFEIGN WOULD HIDE,

114
00:06:33,929 --> 00:06:37,432
"AND YOU PARDON ME
FOR ROUGH SOLDIER WORDS,

115
00:06:37,599 --> 00:06:39,351
WHILE I TELL YOU
HOW HE DIED."

116
00:06:54,074 --> 00:06:55,993
MAN: "THIS ARMY HAS NEVER
DONE SUCH FIGHTING

117
00:06:56,159 --> 00:06:58,120
"AS IT WILL DO NOW.

118
00:06:58,286 --> 00:07:01,248
"WE MUST CONQUER A PEACE.

119
00:07:01,415 --> 00:07:04,835
WE WILL SHOW THE YANKEES
THIS TIME HOW WE CAN FIGHT."

120
00:07:05,002 --> 00:07:06,503
PRIVATE WILLIAM CHRISTIAN.

121
00:07:08,964 --> 00:07:10,382
NARRATOR: LATE IN MAY,
LEE'S ARMY

122
00:07:10,549 --> 00:07:12,217
MARCHED TOWARD PENNSYLVANIA.

123
00:07:16,304 --> 00:07:18,640
UNION TROOPS SENT TO SEE
WHAT THEY WERE UP TO

124
00:07:18,807 --> 00:07:21,685
COMPLETELY SURPRISED JEB STUART
AND HIS CONFEDERATE CAVALRY

125
00:07:21,852 --> 00:07:23,270
AT BRANDY STATION, VIRGINIA.

126
00:07:25,814 --> 00:07:29,026
21,000 MOUNTED MEN
CLASHED ALONG THE RAPPAHANNOCK

127
00:07:29,192 --> 00:07:30,277
FOR 12 HOURS.

128
00:07:33,196 --> 00:07:34,740
IT WAS THE BIGGEST
CAVALRY ENGAGEMENT

129
00:07:34,906 --> 00:07:36,158
IN AMERICAN HISTORY,

130
00:07:36,324 --> 00:07:38,702
AND IT WAS A STAND-OFF,

131
00:07:38,869 --> 00:07:40,078
BUT THE NORTH HAD LEARNED

132
00:07:40,245 --> 00:07:41,663
THE CONFEDERATES
WERE ON THE MOVE.

133
00:07:45,292 --> 00:07:46,668
THE FLAMBOYANT STUART,

134
00:07:46,835 --> 00:07:48,920
EMBARRASSED AT HAVING BEEN
CAUGHT OFF GUARD

135
00:07:49,087 --> 00:07:51,006
AND DETERMINED
TO REDEEM HIMSELF,

136
00:07:51,173 --> 00:07:55,135
NOW TOOK OFF ON ANOTHER DARING
RIDE AROUND THE UNION ARMY

137
00:07:55,302 --> 00:07:58,096
WITH STRICT ORDERS TO STAY
IN CLOSE TOUCH WITH LEE.

138
00:08:01,767 --> 00:08:06,438
LEE'S 70,000 MEN
WERE DIVIDED INTO 3 CORPS.

139
00:08:06,605 --> 00:08:10,108
THE FIRST WAS COMMANDED
BY JAMES LONGSTREET, "OLD PETE,"

140
00:08:10,275 --> 00:08:13,820
WHOM LEE CALLED
"MY WARHORSE."

141
00:08:13,987 --> 00:08:17,157
THE SECOND CORPS,
STONEWALL JACKSON'S OLD COMMAND,

142
00:08:17,324 --> 00:08:19,409
WAS UNDER
RICHARD "BALDY" EWELL,

143
00:08:19,576 --> 00:08:23,205
WHO HAD LOST A LEG
AT SECOND MANASSAS.

144
00:08:23,371 --> 00:08:25,457
THE THIRD WAS LED
BY A.P. HILL,

145
00:08:25,624 --> 00:08:27,876
A NEW CORPS COMMANDER
FROM VIRGINIA

146
00:08:28,043 --> 00:08:31,421
WHO HAD HELPED STAVE OFF
DISASTER AT SHARPSBURG IN 1862.

147
00:08:34,424 --> 00:08:36,927
ON JUNE 16,
LEE'S ADVANCE COLUMN

148
00:08:37,094 --> 00:08:39,888
CROSSED THE POTOMAC
INTO MARYLAND.

149
00:08:40,055 --> 00:08:42,557
AN EVEN LARGER
UNION ARMY FOLLOWED,

150
00:08:42,724 --> 00:08:45,227
CAREFUL TO KEEP BETWEEN
THE CONFEDERATES AND WASHINGTON.

151
00:08:51,316 --> 00:08:53,985
THE NEW UNION COMMANDER
WAS GEORGE MEADE.

152
00:08:54,152 --> 00:08:57,197
BLUNT AND BOOKISH, HE WAS
REFERRED TO BY SUBORDINATES

153
00:08:57,364 --> 00:09:00,951
AS "A DAMNED, OLD,
GOGGLE-EYED SNAPPING TURTLE."

154
00:09:01,118 --> 00:09:04,621
IF THE UNION GENERALS WERE
NOT SURE WHERE LEE WAS GOING,

155
00:09:04,788 --> 00:09:08,667
LEE HAD NO IDEA WHERE
THE UNION ARMY EVEN WAS.

156
00:09:08,834 --> 00:09:09,960
J EB STUART'S CAVALRY

157
00:09:10,127 --> 00:09:12,087
HAD RIDDEN TOO FAR
FROM THE ADVANCING ARMY

158
00:09:12,254 --> 00:09:14,673
TO KEEP HIM INFORMED.

159
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,592
FOOTE: THE CONFEDERATES
MARCHED THROUGH MARYLAND
ON INTO PENNSYLVANIA.

160
00:09:17,759 --> 00:09:19,261
IT'S VERY HANDSOME
COUNTRY THERE.

161
00:09:19,427 --> 00:09:21,346
THE BARNS ARE MAGNIFICENT

162
00:09:21,513 --> 00:09:23,974
AND THE GREEN FIELDS
AND EVERYTHING,

163
00:09:24,141 --> 00:09:28,186
AND THE PEOPLE WATCHING
THESE CONFEDERATES GO BY.

164
00:09:28,353 --> 00:09:31,314
AND THERE WAS
A BLACK BODY SERVANT

165
00:09:31,481 --> 00:09:32,357
IN THE COLUMN,

166
00:09:32,524 --> 00:09:35,068
AND THEY STOPPED,
JUST A HALT,

167
00:09:35,235 --> 00:09:37,529
AND THE PEOPLE IN THE HOUSE
ASKED HIM

168
00:09:37,696 --> 00:09:40,490
WHAT HE THOUGHT
OF THIS COUNTRY AROUND HERE.

169
00:09:40,657 --> 00:09:43,410
AND HE SAID,
"THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY,

170
00:09:43,577 --> 00:09:45,829
BUT IT DOESN'T COME UP TO HOME

THERE WAS RUMORED TO BE
A SUPPLY OF SHOES AT GETTYSBURG,

202
00:11:35,397 --> 00:11:38,149
AND THE FOOTSORE REBELS
WERE THERE TO COMMANDEER THEM.

203
00:11:40,902 --> 00:11:43,363
THE SOUTH CAME IN
FROM THE NORTH THAT DAY,

BUFORD TRIED DESPERATELY
TO HOLD HIS GROUND,

FINALLY OVERWHELMED HIM

212

THE ARTIST ALFRED WAUD
SKETCHED THE ACTION,

236
00:13:38,311 --> 00:13:40,814
SENDING HIS DRAWINGS

SET UP HEADQUARTERS,
AND URGED EWELL

242
00:13:57,163 --> 00:13:59,791
TO RENEW THE ATTACK

BY THE END OF THE DAY,

245
00:14:05,547 --> 00:14:08,550
THE UNION ARMY
HELD THE HIGH GROUND.

246
00:14:08,716 --> 00:14:10,927
RATHER THAN
ATTACK |T HEADLONG,

247
00:14:11,094 --> 00:14:12,720
CONFEDERATE GENERAL LONGSTREET

248
00:14:12,887 --> 00:14:15,223
WANTED TO SWING AROUND
THE UNION POSITION

249
00:14:15,390 --> 00:14:18,726
AND TAKE A STAND BETWEEN
MEADE'S ARMY AND WASHINGTON,

250
00:14:18,893 --> 00:14:20,687
THEN LET
THE UNION ATTACK.

251
00:14:22,814 --> 00:14:24,357
WITHOUT KNOWING
THE ENEMY'S STRENGTH,

252
00:14:24,524 --> 00:14:27,026
LEE OVERRULED LONGSTREET.

253
00:14:27,193 --> 00:14:30,029
"NO," SAID LEE,
"I'M GOING TO WHIP THEM HERE,

254
00:14:30,196 --> 00:14:31,531
OR THEY ARE GOING TO
WHIP ME."

255

FOOTE: HE HAD ALWAYS COUNTED ON

00:14:34,576 --> 00:14:36,953
STUART AND HIS CAVALRY

257
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,247
AS TO ENEMY POSITIONS
AND MOVEMENTS,

258
00:14:39,414 --> 00:14:40,540
AND HE WAS LACKING THAT.

259
00:14:40,707 --> 00:14:44,085
HE WAS GROPING AROUND
THE LANDSCAPE BLIND.

260
00:14:44,252 --> 00:14:46,045
AND PEOPLE WOULD COME UP TO HIM
IN THE FIELD

261
00:14:46,212 --> 00:14:48,840
ALL THROUGH THOSE DAYS, "CAN YOU
TELL ME WHERE STUART IS?

262
00:14:49,007 --> 00:14:50,300
HAVE YOU SEEN MY CAVALRY?"

263
00:14:50,467 --> 00:14:54,554
VERY STRANGE THING
FOR A COMMANDER TO HAVE TO ASK.

264
00:14:54,721 --> 00:14:56,097
SO WHEN STUART ARRIVED,

265
00:14:56,264 --> 00:14:57,474
ALL HE HAD TO SHOW
FOR ALL THIS

266
00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,684
WAS A COUPLE OF HUNDRED
WAGONS AND MULES

267
00:14:59,851 --> 00:15:00,977
AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

268
00:15:01,144 --> 00:15:03,021
AND HE SAW LEE
STANDING THERE,

269
00:15:03,188 --> 00:15:05,523
STERNLY LOOKING AT HIM
ARRIVING LATE,

270
00:15:05,690 --> 00:15:08,735
AND HE BLEW THE THING BY MAKING
HIS ANNOUNCEMENT AT THE START.

271
00:15:08,902 --> 00:15:11,738
HE SAID, "GENERAL, | BROUGHT YOU
200 BRAND-NEW WAGONS."

272
00:15:11,905 --> 00:15:16,826
AND LEE SAID, "GENERAL,
THEY'RE AN IMPEDIMENT TO ME NOW.

273
00:15:16,993 --> 00:15:19,496
IASKED YOU TO HELP ME
WHIP THESE PEOPLE."

274
00:15:19,662 --> 00:15:25,835
AND IT WAS A SEVERE
ADMONISHMENT FROM LEE,

275
00:15:26,002 --> 00:15:28,713
AND LEE SAW
HE'D HURT HIS FEELINGS,

276
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:30,590
SO HE SAID,
"COME. IT'LL BE ALL RIGHT.

277
00:15:30,757 --> 00:15:32,425
IT'LL BE ALL RIGHT."

278

BEST KNOWN BEFORE THE WAR

321
00:17:49,395 --> 00:17:51,564
FOR HAVING SHOT AND KILLED
HIS WIFE'S LOVER.

322
00:17:53,733 --> 00:17:55,276
NOW SICKLES DISOBEYED ORDERS

323
00:17:55,443 --> 00:17:58,446
AND MARCHED HIS MEN FURTHER OUT
FROM LITTLE ROUND TOP

324

TO THE DEVIL'S DEN,
THE WHEAT FIELD,

00:18:14,379 --> 00:18:17,215
SOMEONE SAID HE STUCK OUT
LIKE A SORE THUMB.

332
00:18:17,382 --> 00:18:20,009
I THINK IT WAS HANCOCK
WHO SAW HIM GO OUT,

333
00:18:20,176 --> 00:18:23,096
AND HE SAID, "WAIT AWHILE.
YOU'LL SEE HIM TUMBLING BACK."

334
00:18:23,262 --> 00:18:24,889
AND, OF COURSE, HE DID.

583

HE CAME WITHIN
AN INCH OF DOING IT.

584
00:31:07,818 --> 00:31:09,945
AND BY THAT TIME,
LONGSTREET SAID,

585
00:31:10,112 --> 00:31:11,822
LEE'S BLOOD WAS UP.

586

THERE WAS NO STOPPING HIM.

588
00:31:15,659 --> 00:31:17,286
LONGSTREET TRIED TO STOP HIM.

589
00:31:17,453 --> 00:31:19,663
LEE SAID, "NO, HE'S THERE,"
MEANING THE ENEMY,

590
00:31:19,830 --> 00:31:22,374
"AND I'M GOING TO STRIKE HIM."

591
00:31:22,541 --> 00:31:23,876
MAN: GENERAL LONGSTREET,
I THINK,

592
00:31:24,042 --> 00:31:25,878
HAD GOOD REASONS TO WORRY

593
00:31:26,044 --> 00:31:28,755
ABOUT ATTACKING THE UNION
POSITION AT GETTYSBURG.

594
00:31:28,922 --> 00:31:32,342
AFTER ALL, IT WAS
HIS CORPS AT FREDERICKSBURG

595
00:31:32,509 --> 00:31:35,053
THAT MOWED DOWN
THE UNION TROOPS

596
00:31:35,220 --> 00:31:37,181
IN FRONT OF THE STONE WALL.

597
00:31:37,347 --> 00:31:40,851
HE COULD REALIZE WHAT
THE RIFLE MUSKET COULD DO

598
00:31:41,018 --> 00:31:43,604
HELD IN THE HANDS
OF DETERMINED TROOPS.

599
00:31:46,190 --> 00:31:48,400
NARRATOR: THE NEXT DAY
WAS PICKETT'S CHARGE.

600
00:31:53,989 --> 00:31:57,451
LEE, BY THE SUMMER OF 1863,

601
00:31:57,618 --> 00:31:59,953
HAD COME TO BELIEVE
THAT HE WAS INVINCIBLE

602
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,206
AND SO WAS THE ARMY
OF NORTHERN VIRGINIA.

603
00:32:02,372 --> 00:32:03,624
THE RECORD
WOULD ALMOST INVITE THAT

604
00:32:03,790 --> 00:32:05,375
WHEN YOU SEE HOW
THEY HAD PUMMELLED

605
00:32:05,542 --> 00:32:07,419
ONE UNION GENERAL
AFTER ANOTHER

606
00:32:07,586 --> 00:32:08,921
AND HAD DEFEATED--

607
00:32:09,087 --> 00:32:10,964
OR AT LEAST FOUGHT TO A DRAW
THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC

608
00:32:11,131 --> 00:32:13,175
ALMOST IN EVERY BATTLE
UP TO THAT POINT.

609
00:32:13,342 --> 00:32:16,345
LEE REALLY DID THINK THAT IF HE
ASKED HIS BOYS TO DO SOMETHING,

610
00:32:16,512 --> 00:32:18,680
THEY WOULD DO IT,
THAT THEY WOULD DO ANYTHING.

611
00:32:18,847 --> 00:32:20,474
HE HAD COME,
BY GETTYSBURG, THEN,

612
00:32:20,641 --> 00:32:22,226
TO BELIEVE
IN HIS INVINCIBILITY

613
00:32:22,392 --> 00:32:25,437
AND THAT OF HIS MEN,
AND IT WAS HIS DOOM.

614
00:32:25,604 --> 00:32:27,481
CANNON FIRE

615
00:32:36,073 --> 00:32:37,950
SHOUTING

616
00:32:45,916 --> 00:32:48,961
NARRATOR: THE THIRD DAY
BEGAN BADLY FOR LEE.

617
00:32:49,127 --> 00:32:51,255
EWELL'S MEN WERE DRIVEN BACK
FROM CULP'S HILL.

618
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,301
JEB STUART WAS SUPPOSED
TO GET BEHIND THE FEDERALS

619
00:32:56,468 --> 00:32:59,429
AND ATTACK THEM FROM THE REAR,

620
00:32:59,596 --> 00:33:02,266
BUT UNION CAVALRY
STOPPED AND HELD HIM,

621
00:33:02,432 --> 00:33:05,143
THANKS IN PART
TO A SERIES OF RECKLESS CHARGES

622
00:33:05,310 --> 00:33:08,814
LED BY 23-YEAR-OLD
GENERAL GEORGE ARMSTRONG CUSTER.

623
00:33:15,571 --> 00:33:18,282
EVERYTHING NOW DEPENDED
ON LONGSTREET'S ATTACK

624
00:33:18,448 --> 00:33:20,617
ON THE UNION CENTER
ON CEMETERY RIDGE.

625
00:33:23,620 --> 00:33:26,081
MEADE SAW IT COMING
AND WAS READY FOR HIM.

626

THE MAN LEE CHOSE
TO LEAD THE ASSAULT

627
00:33:30,460 --> 00:33:34,590
WAS DASHING, PERFUMED
GENERAL GEORGE E. PICKETT,

628
00:33:34,756 --> 00:33:37,426
WHO HAD NEVER BEFORE TAKEN
HIS DIVISION INTO COMBAT.

629
00:33:40,387 --> 00:33:41,805
FOOTE: IT WAS
AN INCREDIBLE MISTAKE.

630
00:33:41,972 --> 00:33:43,515
THERE'S SCARCELY
A TRAINED SOLDIER

631
00:33:43,682 --> 00:33:45,976
WHO DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS A MISTAKE
AT THE TIME IT WAS DONE

632
00:33:46,143 --> 00:33:47,603
EXCEPT POSSIBLY
PICKETT HIMSELF,

633
00:33:47,769 --> 00:33:50,397
WHO WAS VERY HAPPY
HE HAD A CHANCE FOR GLORY.

634
00:33:50,564 --> 00:33:52,899
BUT EVERY MAN WHO LOOKED OUT
OVER THAT FIELD,

635
00:33:53,066 --> 00:33:56,862
WHETHER IT'S A SERGEANT
OR A LIEUTENANT GENERAL,

636
00:33:57,029 --> 00:33:59,323
SAW THAT IT WAS
A DESPERATE ENDEAVOR

637
00:33:59,489 --> 00:34:01,908
AND, I'M SURE, KNEW THAT
IT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN MADE.

638
00:34:04,036 --> 00:34:05,871
NARRATOR: PICKETT'S MEN
FILED INTO THE WOODS

639
00:34:06,038 --> 00:34:07,497
WEST OF THE EMMITSBURG ROAD

640
00:34:07,664 --> 00:34:09,583
AND WAITED
IN THE STIFLING HEAT.

641
00:34:09,750 --> 00:34:11,126
TO RELIEVE THE TENSION,

642
00:34:11,293 --> 00:34:13,629
SOME OF THE MEN PELTED
EACH OTHER WITH GREEN APPLES.

643
00:34:15,339 --> 00:34:16,632
THEY KNEW WHAT
THEY WERE GOING TO DO,

644
00:34:16,798 --> 00:34:18,258
BUT THEY HAD TO WAIT.

645
00:34:18,425 --> 00:34:22,596
AND WHILE THEY WERE WAITING,
FORMED AND READY TO MOVE OUT--

646
00:34:22,763 --> 00:34:25,766
THEY WERE IN DEFILADE
AMONG BRUSH AND THINGS--

647
00:34:25,932 --> 00:34:28,185
AND A RABBIT JUMPED OUT
OF THE BUSHES AND TOOK OFF,

648
00:34:28,352 --> 00:34:29,728
A REAL ONE,

649
00:34:29,895 --> 00:34:32,105
AND ONE OF THE SOLDIERS
LOOKED AFTER HIM AND HOLLERED,

650
00:34:32,272 --> 00:34:33,607
"RUN, OLD HARE.

651
00:34:33,774 --> 00:34:38,403
IF I WAS AN OLD HARE,
I'D RUN, TOO."

652
00:34:38,570 --> 00:34:39,571
IT WASN'T ALL VALOR.

653
00:34:43,367 --> 00:34:46,662
NARRATOR: EXACTLY AT 1:00,
A GIANT ARTILLERY BARRAGE

654
00:34:46,828 --> 00:34:48,872
INTENDED TO SOFTEN UP
THE UNION DEFENSES

655
00:34:49,039 --> 00:34:50,290
BEFORE THE ATTACK

656
00:34:50,457 --> 00:34:52,376
BEGAN WITH
A DEAFENING EXPLOSION.

NARRATOR: MEADE HAD
JUST LEFT HIS COMMANDERS

661

IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH HARDER

TO SAY, "MASTER ROBERT,
IAIN'T GOING."

00:56:05,773 --> 00:56:08,984
BY THE END OF THE WAR,
GENERAL SHERMAN SAID SIMPLY,

1018
00:56:09,151 --> 00:56:10,110

THE CITY'S DEFENDERS
WERE REDUCED TO EATING MULES,

1036
00:57:22,725 --> 00:57:25,269
HORSES, AND DOGS.

1052
00:58:14,526 --> 00:58:16,904
CONFEDERATE GENERAL
JOHN C. PEMBERTON SAID

1053
00:58:17,071 --> 00:58:19,448
IT WOULD BE
AN ACT OF "CRUEL INHUMANITY"

1054
00:58:19,615 --> 00:58:24,328
TO SUBJECT HIS MEN TO
THE TERRIBLE ORDEAL ANY LONGER.

1055
00:58:24,495 --> 00:58:25,954
BESIDES, HE ADDED,

1056
00:58:26,121 --> 00:58:29,416
"I AM A NORTHERN MAN.
I KNOW MY PEOPLE.

FROM THEM ON THE FOURTH OF JULY

GRANT WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO DID
NOT TOUCH THE WINE OFFERED HIM,

1064
00:58:49,353 --> 00:58:52,940

WITH A CIGAR.

00:59:39,194 --> 00:59:41,113
"THE FATHER OF WATERS,"
LINCOLN SAID,

1082
00:59:41,280 --> 00:59:43,365

FOR 81 YEARS.

1089
01:00:16,732 --> 01:00:18,275
MAN AS STRONG:
"I FOUND FOR MY SUBSTITUTE

1090
01:00:18,442 --> 01:00:22,112
"A BIG DUTCH BOY OF
20 OR THEREABOUTS,

"GAVE HIM MY ADDRESS

"IF HE FOUND HIMSELF
IN THE HOSPITAL OR IN TROUBLE,

1095
01:00:35,542 --> 01:00:37,669

1097
01:00:44,718 --> 01:00:45,969
NARRATOR: IN JULY,
LINCOLN ISSUED

1098
01:00:46,136 --> 01:00:48,263
THE FIRST FEDERAL DRAFT CALL.

1099
01:00:48,430 --> 01:00:53,352
ALL ABLE-BODIED MEN
BETWEEN 20 AND 45 WERE ENROLLED,

1100
01:00:53,518 --> 01:00:56,063
BUT THE LAW
FAVORED THE WELL-TO-DO.

1101
01:00:56,230 --> 01:01:00,108
ANY MAN WILLING TO PAY $300
AS A "COMMUTATION FEE"

1102
01:01:00,275 --> 01:01:02,694
OR HIRE A SUBSTITUTE TO SERVE
IN HIS PLACE

1103
01:01:02,861 --> 01:01:05,072
WAS EXEMPT.

1104
01:01:05,239 --> 01:01:07,991
MAN: "THE LAW IS
A RICH MAN'S BILL,

1105
01:01:08,158 --> 01:01:11,912
MADE FOR HIM
WHO CANNOT RAISE THAT SUM."

NARRATOR: THE FATHERS OF
THEODORE AND FRANKLIN ROOSEVELT

HIRED SUBSTITUTES.

1109
01:01:20,879 --> 01:01:23,590
SO DID ANDREW CARNEGIE
AND J.P. MORGAN

1110
01:01:23,757 --> 01:01:25,467
AND TWO FUTURE PRESIDENTS--

1111
01:01:25,634 --> 01:01:27,552
CHESTER A. ARTHUR
AND GROVER CLEVELAND.

1112
01:01:33,100 --> 01:01:35,602
BOUNTY JUMPING
BECAME A PROFESSION.

1113
01:01:35,769 --> 01:01:37,646
MEN SIGNED UP FROM ONE DISTRICT
LONG ENOUGH

1114
01:01:37,813 --> 01:01:40,190
TO RECEIVE A REWARD
FOR ENLISTING,

1115
01:01:40,357 --> 01:01:43,485
THEN DESERTED
TO DO THE SAME ELSEWHERE.

1116
01:01:43,652 --> 01:01:47,072
ONE MAN REPEATED THE PROCESS
32 TIMES BEFORE HE WAS CAUGHT.

1117
01:01:49,616 --> 01:01:52,577
SHAKER ELDER FREDERICK EVANS
CAME TO SEE LINCOLN,

1118
01:01:52,744 --> 01:01:54,663
HOPING TO HAVE HIS
PACIFIST COMMUNITY

1119
01:01:54,830 --> 01:01:57,541
EXCUSED FROM MILITARY SERVICE.

1120
01:01:57,708 --> 01:02:00,877
"WE NEED REGIMENTS OF SUCH MEN
AS YOU," LINCOLN SAID,

1121
01:02:01,044 --> 01:02:04,131
BUT GRANTED
ELDER EVANS' REQUEST.

1122
01:02:04,298 --> 01:02:07,384
THE SHAKERS WERE AMONG THE FIRST
CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTORS.

1123
01:02:10,304 --> 01:02:12,723
ON DEER ISLE, TWO PROMINENT
LOCAL CITIZENS

1124
01:02:12,889 --> 01:02:17,269
BEGAN GOING HOUSE TO HOUSE
DELIVERING INDUCTION NOTICES.

1125
01:02:17,436 --> 01:02:21,273
149 MEN WERE CALLED
FOR THE NEW DRAFT.

1126
01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:23,483
42 NEVER SHOWED UP.

1127
01:02:23,650 --> 01:02:26,403
33 WERE EXEMPTED
FOR MEDICAL REASONS.

1128
01:02:26,570 --> 01:02:28,739
TWO PAID SUBSTITUTES.

1129
01:02:28,905 --> 01:02:30,615
AND ONE MAN SOLD HIS HOUSE

1130
01:02:30,782 --> 01:02:33,327
AND LEFT HIS WIFE AND SEVERAL
CHILDREN HOMELESS

1131
01:02:33,493 --> 01:02:35,370
RATHER THAN DESERT THEM
FOR THE FRONT.

1132
01:02:39,374 --> 01:02:41,418
FOOTE:
NEW YORK CITY CONTEMPLATED

1133
01:02:41,585 --> 01:02:43,086
SECESSION FROM THE UNION, TOO,

1134
01:02:43,253 --> 01:02:45,839
AND THEY WANTED
TO BE DECLARED AN OPEN CITY.

1135
01:02:46,006 --> 01:02:48,550
THERE WAS A GREAT DEAL
OF RESENTMENT

1136
01:02:48,717 --> 01:02:51,386
OF THE INFLUX OF BLACKS

1137
01:02:51,553 --> 01:02:54,765
AND A LOT OF RESISTANCE
TO THE DRAFT,

1138
01:02:54,931 --> 01:02:56,350
BECAUSE MEN COULD GET
BETTER-PAYING JOBS

1139
01:02:56,516 --> 01:02:57,851
THAN THEY'D EVER HAD,

1140
01:02:58,018 --> 01:03:00,645
AND THE LAST THING THEY WANTED
WAS TO GO TO THE WAR.

1141
01:03:00,812 --> 01:03:01,855
THERE WAS A GOOD DEAL OF
RESENTMENT, TOO,

1142
01:03:02,022 --> 01:03:03,899
THAT IF YOU COULD
SCRAPE UP $300,

1143
01:03:04,066 --> 01:03:05,317
YOU COULD BE EXEMPT,

1144
01:03:05,484 --> 01:03:07,194
AND ALL THOSE RESENTMENTS
FLARED UP

1145
01:03:07,361 --> 01:03:09,488
INTO WHAT'S CALLED
THE NEW YORK DRAFT RIOTS.

1146
01:03:11,990 --> 01:03:13,617
NARRATOR: NO GROUP
WAS MORE OUTRAGED

1147
01:03:13,784 --> 01:03:15,952
THAN THE IMMIGRANT IRISH

1148
01:03:16,119 --> 01:03:17,204
WHO FEARED THE BLACKS

1149
01:03:17,371 --> 01:03:19,581
WHO COMPETED
FOR THE LOWEST-PAYING JOBS

1150
01:03:19,748 --> 01:03:23,001
AND FOR WHOSE FREEDOM
THEY DID NOT WISH TO FIGHT.

1151
01:03:23,168 --> 01:03:26,755
DEMOCRATIC POLITICIANS
FANNED THEIR ANGER.

1152
01:03:26,922 --> 01:03:28,215
MAN: "REMEMBER THIS,

1153
01:03:28,382 --> 01:03:30,092

1491
01:21:31,297 --> 01:21:32,756
IN THE WEEKS THAT FOLLOWED,

1492
01:21:32,923 --> 01:21:34,842
EVERYBODY POSED
ON LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN.

1493
01:22:12,421 --> 01:22:14,965
GENERAL THOMAS ORDERED
A UNION CEMETERY LAID OUT

1494
01:22:15,132 --> 01:22:16,926
ON A HILL
CALLED ORCHARD KNOB

1495
01:22:17,092 --> 01:22:18,552
THAT HAD SEEN
SAVAGE FIGHTING.

1496
01:22:20,721 --> 01:22:24,016
ACHAPLAIN ASKED IF
THE BURIALS SHOULD BE BY STATE.

1497
01:22:24,183 --> 01:22:26,310
"NO, NO. MIX THEM UP,"
THOMAS SAID,

1498
01:22:26,477 --> 01:22:27,978
"I'M TIRED OF STATES RIGHTS."

1499
01:22:36,070 --> 01:22:41,200
AT THE CAPITOL IN WASHINGTON
AT NOON ON DECEMBER 2, 1863,

1500
01:22:41,367 --> 01:22:44,578
A 19-FOOT BRONZE GODDESS
OF "FREEDOM TRIUMPHANT"

1501
01:22:44,745 --> 01:22:47,456
WAS AT LAST
HOISTED INTO PLACE.

1502
01:22:47,623 --> 01:22:49,124
THE GREAT DOME WAS FINISHED.

1503
01:22:52,962 --> 01:22:54,213
MAN: "I LIKE TO STAND ASIDE

1504
01:22:54,380 --> 01:22:57,716
"AND LOOKA LONG, LONG WHILE
UP AT THE DOME.

1505
01:22:57,883 --> 01:22:59,843
IT COMFORTS ME SOMEHOW."

1506
01:23:00,010 --> 01:23:01,178
WALT WHITMAN.

1507
01:23:04,390 --> 01:23:08,686
MAN: "IN CAMP,
DECEMBER 3, 1863.

1508

OF A COLD NIGHT."

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN JACKSON.

WOMAN: "CHRISTMAS DAY, 1863.

01:24:15,878 --> 01:24:16,879
CHRISTIAN FLEETWOOD.

1532
01:24:31,185 --> 01:24:33,896
STEPHEN OATES: IT WAS
AN EXTREMELY RELIGIOUS AGE.

1533
01:24:34,063 --> 01:24:36,231
BOTH SIDES WANTED
TO GET RIGHT WITH GOD.

1534
01:24:36,398 --> 01:24:37,358
JOHN BROWN SAID HE WAS
AN INSTRUMENT

1535
01:24:37,524 --> 01:24:38,776
IN THE HANDS OF GOD

1536
01:24:38,942 --> 01:24:40,778
TO BRING HIM TO HARPERS FERRY
TO FREE THE SLAVES

1537
01:24:40,944 --> 01:24:43,113
AND PERHAPS BEGIN
THE CIVIL WAR.

1538
01:24:43,280 --> 01:24:45,157
ABRAHAM LINCOLN FINALLY FELT
THAT HE, TOO,

1539
01:24:45,324 --> 01:24:47,117
WAS AN INSTRUMENT
IN THE HAND OF GOD

1540
01:24:47,284 --> 01:24:48,285
AND THAT GOD WAS
PUNISHING THE COUNTRY

1541
01:24:48,452 --> 01:24:49,870
FOR THE CRIME OF SLAVERY.

1542
01:24:50,037 --> 01:24:51,622
ROBERT E. LEE SAID THAT
HE WAS AN INSTRUMENT

1543
01:24:51,789 --> 01:24:53,290
IN THE HANDS OF GOD

1544
01:24:53,457 --> 01:24:55,793
AND SAID AT GETTYSBURG
THAT IT'S ALL IN GOD'S HANDS

1545
01:24:55,959 --> 01:24:58,796
AND THEN SENT THE CREAM
OF HIS ARMY TO ITS DOOM.

1546
01:24:58,962 --> 01:25:03,425
THEY REALLY FELT THAT PROVIDENCE
WAS AT WORK IN THIS WAR.

1547
01:25:03,592 --> 01:25:05,219
AS LINCOLN SAID,
"WE BOTH PRAY TO THE SAME GOD.

1548
01:25:05,386 --> 01:25:06,345
"WE BOTH INVOKED HIM.

1549
01:25:06,512 --> 01:25:08,180
WE BOTH SAID
WE WERE ON HIS SIDE."

1550
01:25:08,347 --> 01:25:11,266
BUT IT WASN'T UNTIL 1863,
INDEED AT THE END OF THE WAR,

1551
01:25:11,433 --> 01:25:12,559
THAT IT BECAME CLEAR

1552
01:25:12,726 --> 01:25:13,852
WHERE GOD'S JUDGMENT
WAS COMING DOWN--

1553
01:25:14,019 --> 01:25:15,521
THAT WAS
ON THE WHOLE COUNTRY.

1554
01:25:15,688 --> 01:25:19,942
IT MUST NOW ATONE IN BLOOD FOR
ITS COMPLICITY IN WICKEDNESS,

1555
01:25:20,109 --> 01:25:21,193
THE WICKEDNESS OF SLAVERY.

1556
01:25:39,211 --> 01:25:42,881
NARRATOR: THE CIVIL WAR
WAS FOUGHT IN 10,000 PLACES--

1557
01:25:43,048 --> 01:25:47,845
AT BIG BEND, BIG SANDY,
AND THE BIG SUNFLOWER RIVER,

1558
01:25:48,011 --> 01:25:49,555
FROM BUNKER HILL,
WEST VIRGINIA,

1559
01:25:49,722 --> 01:25:52,808
AND BLUE SPRINGS, TENNESSEE,
AND CAIRO, ILLINOIS,

1560
01:25:52,975 --> 01:25:58,021
TO GOLGOTHA CHURCH, GEORGIA,
AND CHRISTIANBURG, KENTUCKY,

1561
01:25:58,188 --> 01:26:00,691
AT CITRUS POINT
ON THE CIMARRON RIVER,

1562
01:26:00,858 --> 01:26:03,777
AND ALONG COWSKIN BOTTOM,

1563
01:26:03,944 --> 01:26:07,030
AT PEBBLY RUN
AND LA GLORIETA PASS

1564
01:26:07,197 --> 01:26:08,282
AND GETTYSBURG.

1565
01:26:11,118 --> 01:26:13,662
I THINK IF I HAD MY CHOICE
OF ALL THE MOMENTS

1566
01:26:13,829 --> 01:26:16,790
TO BE PRESENT AT
IN THAT WAR PERIOD,

1567
01:26:16,957 --> 01:26:18,417
IT WOULD BE AT GETTYSBURG

1568
01:26:18,584 --> 01:26:22,838
DURING LINCOLN'S DELIVERY
OF HIS SPEECH,

1569
01:26:23,005 --> 01:26:25,299
MAYBE TO HAVE SEEN HIM
CRAFT THOSE BEAUTIFUL WORDS,

1570
01:26:25,466 --> 01:26:31,221
THOSE MARVELOUS HEALING WORDS,
AND THEN DELIVER THEM.

1571
01:26:31,388 --> 01:26:33,849
THEY WERE FOR EVERYONE
FOR ALL TIME.

1572
01:26:34,016 --> 01:26:36,935
THEY SUBSUMED THE ENTIRE WAR
AND ALL IN IT.

1573
01:26:37,102 --> 01:26:39,104
IT SHOWED HIS COMPASSION
FOR EVERYONE,

1574
01:26:39,271 --> 01:26:41,523
HIS LOVE FOR HIS PEOPLE.

1575
01:26:41,690 --> 01:26:42,733
THAT'S WHERE I'D LIKE TO BE.

1576
01:26:50,324 --> 01:26:53,452
NARRATOR: ON NOVEMBER 19,
LINCOLN TRAVELED TO GETTYSBURG

1577
01:26:53,619 --> 01:26:56,955
TO DEDICATE
THE NEW UNION CEMETERY.

1578
01:26:57,122 --> 01:27:00,417
THE FEATURED SPEAKER WAS
EDWARD EVERETT OF MASSACHUSETTS,

1579
01:27:00,584 --> 01:27:04,713
A DIPLOMAT, CLERGYMAN,
AND CELEBRATED ORATOR.

1580
01:27:04,880 --> 01:27:07,716
THE PRESIDENT HAD BEEN INVITED
ALMOST AS AN AFTERTHOUGHT

1581
01:27:07,883 --> 01:27:10,052
TO OFFER A FEW
"APPROPRIATE REMARKS."

1582
01:27:12,304 --> 01:27:15,307
EVERETT SPOKE
FOR NOT QUITE TWO HOURS,

1583
01:27:15,474 --> 01:27:16,809
THEN LINCOLN ROSE.

1584
01:27:19,436 --> 01:27:22,439
A LOCAL PHOTOGRAPHER
TOOK HIS TIME FOCUSING.

1585
01:27:22,606 --> 01:27:24,525
PRESUMABLY THE PRESIDENT
COULD BE COUNTED ON

1586
01:27:24,691 --> 01:27:25,901
TO GO ON FOR AWHILE.

1587
01:27:28,403 --> 01:27:31,949
BUT HE SPOKE JUST 269 WORDS.

1588
01:27:32,115 --> 01:27:33,951
HE STARTED OFF
BY REMINDING HIS AUDIENCE

1589
01:27:34,117 --> 01:27:35,953
THAT JUST 87 YEARS
HAD PASSED

1590
01:27:36,119 --> 01:27:38,247
SINCE THE FOUNDING
OF THE NATION,

1591
01:27:38,413 --> 01:27:41,291
AND THEN HE WENT ON
TO EMBOLDEN THE UNION CAUSE

1592
01:27:41,458 --> 01:27:43,919
WITH SOME OF THE MOST
STIRRING WORDS EVER SPOKEN.

1593
01:27:46,922 --> 01:27:48,632
LINCOLN WAS HEADING BACK
TO HIS SEAT

1594
01:27:48,799 --> 01:27:50,759
BEFORE THE PHOTOGRAPHER
COULD OPEN THE SHUTTER.

1595
01:27:58,392 --> 01:28:00,394
FOOTE: HE FELT
THAT HE HAD FAILED,

1596
01:28:00,561 --> 01:28:01,979
THAT IT WAS A POOR SPEECH,

1597
01:28:02,145 --> 01:28:03,397
THAT THE PEOPLE
DIDN'T LIKE IT.

1598
01:28:03,564 --> 01:28:05,899
IT WAS SO BRIEF--
LESS THAN TWO MINUTES.

1599
01:28:06,066 --> 01:28:07,651
HE FELT THAT HE HAD FAILED.

1600
01:28:07,818 --> 01:28:09,236
LAMON--
HIS FRIEND, WARD LAMON--

1601
01:28:09,403 --> 01:28:10,863
WAS SITTING NEXT TO HIM
ON THE STAND.

1602
01:28:11,029 --> 01:28:13,699
WHEN HE SAT DOWN, THERE WAS
JUST A SPRINKLING OF APPLAUSE.

1603
01:28:13,866 --> 01:28:16,785
AND HE SAID, "LAMON,
THAT SPEECH WON'T SCOUR."

1604
01:28:16,952 --> 01:28:19,121
THAT'S WHAT YOU SAY
ABOUTA PLOW IN THE PRAIRIES

1605
01:28:19,288 --> 01:28:21,957
WHEN THE MUD DOESN'T
COME OFF IT.

1606
01:28:22,124 --> 01:28:25,043
MAN: "THE CHEEK OF EVERY
AMERICAN MUST TINGLE WITH SHAME

1607
01:28:25,210 --> 01:28:28,630

CHICAGO TIMES.

1612
01:28:38,390 --> 01:28:40,601
MAN AS EVERETT:
"DEAR MR. PRESIDENT,

1613
