My beautiful home... Though it is being ruined by the cancerous out of control growth and expansion that has been happening over the past couple of years, our infrastructure is at the breaking point traffic is gridlocked everywhere every day even on back roads and they're a pretty serious accidents everyday because there's so many people here that don't know how to drive, drive recklessly on purpose, and look at their phones for all of the above... It's hard to get jobs here anymore because there are so many people here and everyone has to drive to Jacksonville for work, it seems like every time I leave the house another green space has been bulldozed for an ugly poorly constructed townhouse complex or apartment complex... They're draining swamps and wetlands and destroying ecosystems to put these s*** holes up that fall apart after a couple of years but people are still paying ridiculous prices to move into them, we once had the best school system in the state but no longer as our schools are massively overcrowded and there aren't enough teachers to go around, living here is so frustrating now... It feels like a close suburb of Orlando. Do not move here, we are not only full we are massively over full and we do not have room for you... If you move here you will not enjoy it I guarantee... St Augustine is full please go elsewhere.

Hometown vibes 🤙Also, there are not many peacocks here.

beautiful town just terrorized by tourist really unfortunate living here

My family has been here almost 400 years! God bless the minorcans!

I live here ahhhaha

The Irish Jasper greens guarded this fort but weren't there went it fell, they moved to the next defensive trenches of battle Lee. Then the reminder of the Irish Jasper Greens around 200 joined Joseph E Johnstons army of Tennessee. I have a perfect Irish jasper greens button

I love st Augustine ❤

I live about 30 minutes from there

I have family from there and I can even trace my family’s history all the way back to the founding of the City of St. Augustine.

Great vid. Just an FYI the "J" in "San Jacinto" is pronounced normally

I’ve lived in San Antonio for a while, but it never came to me to visit the Alamo until after watching this vid

I live here

Johnston did a poor job of issuing clear orders to his commanders and followed that up with poor staff work to ensure that his orders were properly executed. Even after Longstreet botched his assignment Johnston had a chance to redeem the blown battle plan with an attack down the Nine Mile Road but waited too long and missed an opportunity to unhinge the Union line at Seven Pines. Longstreet and Johnston subsequently lied in their reports and wrongly blamed Huger for the failure of Johnston's poorly managed battle.

It's not considered to be the oldest. It is the oldest European settlement in the United States. It was settled almost 50 years before the pilgrims even left Europe.

Born and raised and still residing about 1/2 a mile from downtown St. Augustine. Had my wedding at the Fountain of Youth. We also had THE first Thanksgiving mass in what is now the United States over half a century before the one at Plymouth Rock… But oddly enough, even going to school less than 4 1/2 miles from the landing site, I still celebrated Thanksgiving every year making pilgrim hats and Plains Indian feathered head dresses out of construction paper 😂

While he was with the Corps of Engineers Robert E Lee helped build Ft Pulaski years before the war

Another outstanding job !!! Thanks.

Ahhh... the home of Texas Rangers.... The Rough Riders! ❤

Tf you mean Jamestown wasn’t first

We are full no need to tell others about us

St Augustine is not the first European settlement in USA, it is the oldest though.

Antietam when?

With advances in artillery, masonry fortifications were outdated as soon as they were built. Rifled guns could put a relatively high velocity shot in the same spot over and over. Bricks simply exploded or were torn loose. Timed air burst and contact shells were also seeing big improvements. Earth works and hidden batteries were the way forward in fortifications. A 24 pounder was considered a heavy gun pre civil war. By the end of the war, siege guns were pushing 100 pound or heavier projectiles.

"The Confederacy is part of our heritage!" "I think you mean 'Surrendering to and being subsequently occupied by the US' is your heritage~"

Man, Halleck had some nerve coming after McClellan for being too slow during the Peninsula campaign, like he was better. Actually, considering it‘s actually Halleck who calls off the entire campaign after the Seven Days (isn‘t that what he does to his subordinates during the Corinth campaign as well?), he might arguably be worse. McClellan was cautious, but he does fight Lee repeatedly, comes out on top and plans to still go after Richmond. So, in this case, he‘s not totally paranoid for thinking Halleck may have sabotaged him, even if inadvertently.

great video!

The craziest part is how much intel they had back in those days. I just can’t wrap my head around it
