Here is the first video for my new series on the individual Civil War battles. The series will take the battles themselves and look at them on an individual level. There are about 384 engagements and battles (plus another 10,000+ smaller actions). We will stick within the smaller 384 grouping.
I still have a lot of stuff to learn with the editing, but I like this as a start.
The first video is of course about Fort Sumter, sadly the least interesting battle for me (as I have had to watch specials about it way too often). However, it wouldn’t be right to not start out a series about the Civil War battles to not address the first shots.
