What Did Confederate Soldiers Leave Behind at GETTYSBURG??? | American Artifact Episode 32
https://t.co/hatdbch1kD
In episode 28 of American Artifact, we told the story of how Fred Pfeffer (who is the great great grandfather of Erik Dorr) accidentally unearthed the graves of soldiers from the 11th Mississippi who died in Pickett's Charge on Day 3 of the Battle of Gettysburg. In this episode, we're telling a little bit more of the story of the Pfeffer collection and how some extremely unique artifacts ended up being left behind by the Confederates after the battle.

🇺🇸 Longstreet was captured on camera a second time that day at Gettysburg in 1888. This time on horse.
He would have a moment in the Wheatfield. The 95th Pennsylvania Infantry was dedicating their new monument. In a powerful gesture of reconciliation, they let Longstreet hold their battle flag.
The same tattered battle flag which had been pierced by 81 holes in fighting during the Civil War at places like Gettysburg, Antietam, Gaines' Mills, any many more.
Longstreet pressed the battle flag to his lips and wept.
The photo on horse shows him at Little Round Top and the dedication of the 155th PA Volunteer Infantry monument from my best judgement.
They would dedicate around 20 battlefield monuments around Gettysburg at the 25th reunion.

🇺🇸 After the Battle of Gettysburg, the town was described as "one huge hospital."
Camp Letterman wouldn't open until July 20.
Until then, a civilian population of just 2,400 was left to care for 22,000 wounded Union and Confederate soldiers. Men were crammed into houses, churches, and barns across the county.
The summer heat quickly brought an indescribable stench of decomposition.
Making matters more chaotic, thousands of anxious relatives soon flooded the town searching for missing loved ones among the makeshift wards.
On July 4 2012 in San Diego, California, 7,000 fireworks accidentally went off all at the same time.
What was supposed to be a 17 min show, lasted just 30 seconds, thanks to a computer glitch
It is one of the greatest firework shows of all time
Happy 250th birthday, America 🇺🇸
Ex-freemason Sean Stone says some “alien” entities may be something much darker.
He explains why certain occult rituals may have opened doors no one fully understands:

NASA will lead waves of aircraft, from stealth bombers to VIP helicopters, over the Mall to celebrate America's 250th birthday.

This is 90% of women in my age group who are leftists, truly oblivious to how the world or financial systems work at all, yet have the strongest opinions on everything
Caleb Hammer schooled a guest on how taxes work in America, explaining that the U.S. has one of the most progressive tax systems.
Caleb: Question, what percent does the top 1% pay in federal income taxes?
Guest: None.
(Brief silence)
Caleb: Think it's about 40 to 50 percent? No, I think it's about... I believe it's about 35%. Then the top 10% pays 50 to 60%. Top 50% pays 99%. The bottom 50% of earners only pay 1%. Did you know we actually have the most progressive income tax system in the entire Western world? Did you know that?
Guest: I did not.
Caleb: Oh, we do. Of course you didn't know that. Why know anything before having an opinion? What the fuck is wrong with you?
+The guest: “I’m a socialist”
-Caleb: What Socialism are you in favor for?
+ Ummm I believe…
-Take a system that you are in favor of, that you would rather be our system.
+”I just don't want it to be Capitalism”
- Take a system that has been proven to work anywhere in any country that is better than our system.
- “Unfortunately, imperialism is hurting those socialist countries.”
These people are genuinely ignorant and stupid. They just repeat the talking points that they have been given!
