One of the most remarkable things about the preservation of Robert E. Lee's Headquarters is the photos of the home taken just days after the Battle of Gettysburg in July of 1863. Join Garry Adelman as he "steps into" Mathew Brady's historic shots. Take note of Mary Thompson, who can be seen in the foreground of the photos. She had lived in the house for 17 years by the time of the battle, and remained in her home, tending wounded soldiers, as the battle raged outside her door. #WomensHistoryMonth

📽️Battle of Manassas (First Bull Run) – Brutal Scene from Gods and Generals 🔥 A powerful and chaotic clip from the 2003 film Gods and Generals, showing the First Battle of Bull Run (Battle of Manassas) — the first major battle of the American Civil War. Early in the war, confusion reigns as soldiers in similar uniforms and flags struggle to identify friend from foe. The scene captures the raw brutality, volleys of musket fire, and the famous moment where General Bernard Bee calls General Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson for standing firm like a stone wall. 😱 A vivid look at the early, disorganized nature of the Civil War and its human cost. #CivilWar #GodsAndGenerals #BattleOfBullRun #StonewallJackson #AmericanHistory #WarMovies #MovieClip #USHistory #HistoricalDrama

Stone Mountain Park in Georgia is home to the largest Confederate monument in the world — and one of the most controversial Civil War sites in America. Just outside Atlanta, the park attracts millions of visitors each year but remains at the center of a debate over Confederate history, Southern heritage and racism. Originally built as a tribute to the Confederacy, Stone Mountain features a massive carving of Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, and Stonewall Jackson. It is also the site where the modern Ku Klux Klan was reborn in 1915, adding to its complex legacy. Each year, Confederate Memorial Day brings descendants of Confederate soldiers to the park. Critics argue the monument and gatherings reflect an effort to romanticize the Confederacy and downplay slavery’s role in the Civil War. Join the AJC's Jaide Garcia as she explores the debate over how Stone Mountain’s history should be told — and what the site should represent today. 👉 To learn more about the impact of Stone Mountain, watch the full Southern identity episode of "Curiosities of the South" now on the AJC YouTube channel — and subscribe for more in-depth stories shaping the region: 🎥: AJC | Getty Images | N2SReports / YouTube | WXIA-TV 📸 : Getty Images | Library of Congress | New York Public Library | Virginia Commonwealth University #stonemountain #civilwar #americanhistory #georgia #news

🚨⚡️ "Alyosha" in the Heart of the Frost: Russia's Silent Guardian on the Arctic Borders! 🇷🇺❄️ One of the most famous landmarks in Murmansk is the monument to the Defenders of the Soviet Arctic, popularly known as Alyosha. He stands tall above the hills overlooking the city and Kola Bay… as if he continues to guard Russia's northern borders to this day. The monument was erected in 1974 to honor the soldiers who defended the Kola Peninsula during the Great Patriotic War. Rising over 40 meters high, it is one of the largest memorial monuments in Russia. The figure of the soldier wrapped in his military coat with his rifle slung over his back symbolizes steadfastness, courage, and loyalty to the homeland.

📽️ Virginia Secedes – Powerful Scene from Gods and Generals (2003) 🔥🔥🔥 A dramatic clip from the Civil War film Gods and Generals, showing the Virginia Secession Convention. After President Lincoln called for troops following the attack on Fort Sumter, the delegates grappled with the painful decision to leave the Union. Stonewall Jackson (Stephen Lang) and Robert E. Lee (Robert Duvall) feature prominently as Virginia chooses to stand with its own people over the federal government. The scene captures the deep division, personal duty, and reluctant patriotism that defined the early days of the American Civil War. #GodsAndGenerals #CivilWar #VirginiaSecession #RobertELee #StonewallJackson #WarMovies #MovieClip #AmericanHistory #HistoricalDrama

Did you know about Stone Mountain in Georgia? This isn't just any mountain - it's the LARGEST exposed piece of granite on Earth, and its carving dwarfs Mount Rushmore! Featuring Confederate leaders Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, and Stonewall Jackson, this massive artwork spans 3 acres wide and 400 feet high. It took over half a century to complete, finally finishing in 1972! Beyond the carving, the mountain itself is a 300-million-year-old granite dome, offering incredible views of Atlanta from its 1,700-foot summit. A true natural and historical marvel!

📽️The Anaconda Plan: Jefferson Davis & Robert E. Lee Discuss Union Strategy – North and South A powerful scene from the classic miniseries North and South, showing Confederate President Jefferson Davis and his cabinet (including General Robert E. Lee) reacting to the Union’s Anaconda Plan. Devised by General Winfield Scott, the strategy aimed to strangle the Confederacy through a naval blockade and control of the Mississippi River — slowly squeezing the South’s resources and will to fight. Lee defends Scott’s loyalty to the Union while explaining his own painful choice to side with Virginia. A great look at the early strategic debates of the American Civil War and the personal conflicts of its leaders. #CivilWar #NorthAndSouth #AnacondaPlan #RobertELee #AmericanHistory #MilitaryStrategy #HistoryMiniseries #JeffersonDavis #WarMovies #USHistory
