Jubal Early, Part 2 | 'Never Been Broken'

A Confederate General with one of the most long lasting impacts on American History is definitely Jubal Early. He was known as Robert E. Lee's "Bad Old Man" and performed admirable service for Robert E. Lee during the American Civil War. He fought in nearly all of the battles fought by the Army of Northern Virginia and during his Shenandoah Valley Campaign, he pushed his little army all the way to Washington DC. When the war ended, he never surrendered and remained unreconstructed. He helped start the Lost Cause and in that way, he had the longest lasting legacy of any Confederate General; he raised Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson to demigod status and perpetuated many myths about the Confederacy, essentially writing its history.

Introduction was 💯 you need more like this.

[Gort-zsph]

Great history, well presented, with superb details. Thank you.

[philiphales]

Thank you, Dr Wilder. Excellent series: well researched and presented, and the antique battle maps and engravings add immensely to one’s sense of the geospatial locations of troops and the intensity of the struggle.

[michaellynnhardy]

Thank you; so much detail and specificity in the narrative

Wilder doing a rhyme before narrating the content was something. Funny.

[rcwagon]

I was unsettled after the first in this series. the plain and true words you started this one with met the case. This is another well done series on your channel.

[doctheperfectfaceforradio]

Damn, I can't wait until the next one.

[Houndini]

Due to our location. A whole lot of my family was right with that Bad Ole Man.

Of all the Southern commanders. I despise none more than Ewell, and Bragg. Nothing good comes after speaking those two names. In my experience anyway.
