The Battle of Fredericksburg (Part 4: Caldwell's Brigade)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Battle_of_Fredericksburg As they form up for battle and charge, Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain goes over the drills in his head on how to arrange the man in battle formation while under fire. Also in the video, the instance in which General Longstreet (actual historical words) claimed of Lee's remark that the Union forces may overrun his troops' position, "Sir, if they send every man they have this side of the Rappahannock, just give me plenty of ammunition and I'll kill 'em all, before they reach our lines." There is also a very narrow encounter in which a blown artillery barrel nearly takes out General Lee and others. As I mentioned in another video, I infinitely prefer Martin Sheen to Robert Duvall as General Lee.
