20th Maine regiment had fucking balls of steel, zero ammo left and about to get flanked so they fix bayonets and charge like hell. to be fair the Confederate regiments had literally just walked 20 miles to get this without stopping to fill canteens or anything.

Well what sucks is that they the Confederates did dispatch a group of guys with a huge portion of their canteens to go fill up but Union cavalry intercepted them. So even when they did come to this tiny stream right by Little Round top no one had anything to store the small amount of water that was there. I'd suggest going to Gettysburg if you ever get a chance, gives you a real feel for what went on during those three days.

The west side of Little Round Top had been recently logged in 1863 so it was quite open when the battle was fought. The Parks service maintains it that way today. The 20TH Maine was fighting on the south east slope which was (and is) fully wooded. The Devil's Den is about 1/4 mile west of the 20TH Mane marker on the other side of a creek called Plum Run. The whole area is covered with large granite boulders. LRT, Devil's Den, and the Wheatfield all are in a square about 3/4 of a mile on a side.

to clarify for the first three years of the war, the goal was not to free the slaves, conversely generals were instructed to not free slaves and even send them back to their masters . several generals were replaced for disobeying this order. the emancipation proclamation didn't really do much of anything to end slavery , in reality it was a means to deprive the south of an asset.. slaves in the south were a massive asset.

Every one on this hill had fucking balls of TITANIUM. The 20th maine had like 350 men , so they had little reserve. The confederates had to march around 10-30 miles in the past 2 days, THEN they had to take Devil's Den, THEN they charged up the hill THREE times.

@viking1960 This is very true, just came back from Gettysburg this weekend and walked near the battlefields and on little round top and big round top. Learned a lot. It should be pointed out that Little Round Top is a ginormous hill with a ridiculous incline, much worse than what you see in the movie. It's akin to a cliff. Furthermore after hiking all that time, a regiment is sent with the majority of the canteens to go find water, then where captured by Union cavalry.

@elvishskills The biggest balls could go to either side. The Confederates still had about a mile to go when they lost their canteens and came across only 1 small stream to lap up water from. Then they had to climb a slope of about 100+ feet to fight a deeply entrenched force. Even worse was the fact that the fields were filled with dead and injured soldiers from the past days of fighting, so they had to deal with that. It was a crazy 3 days.

Hollywood lied to me. I used to love this movie, and then I discovered the actual little round top was a thinly wooded knoll, not the thickly wooded small mountain of the film. It looks unimpressive and, other than ending up being the far left of the Union flank, was tactically unimportant. I think the filmmakers saw "Hamburger Hill" the previous year and wanted the position to look as formidable as the Dong Ap Bia mountain jungle fortress in that film.

I watched this entire epic while hanging out in a Nebraska motel with my kids during a family reunion on my wife’s side. The inspiring tale of standing up to Confederate bigotry was fresh in my mind when we visited a restaurant in Arapahoe where a sign said “We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone.” It was aimed at Immigrant workers and Native Americans. That was in the 1990s. For all the sacrifice of the Civil War the scourge of bigotry still reigns in much of the United States. And the Confederate flag flew during the Neo-Civil War of the Trump-led insurrection. Our history is ignored by those selfish enough to claim victimization while victimizing others. That’s what the Civil War was about.

There were very few units with Spencer's as the ammunition was extremely expensive and the rifle required daily cleaning. The rifled muskets they used were standardized for shot and powder plus percussion caps. Meaning one unit item for everything. It made running an army of 300k men easier.

Thinly wooded is a bit strong of a term. Also of course it's not going to look like a carbon copy of the actual battle grounds as you aren't legally allowed to film at the real location due to it being hallowed ground. Lastly if you suddenly decided you don't like the entire 4 hour movie based on the fact that the battle of little round top was filmed on a slightly different looking hill then you're not doing it right.
