This video doesn't mention that in spite of his physical disability, Chamberlain managed to serve three terms (six years) as Governor of Maine, then he became president of Bowdoin College, where he had taught before he volunteered for service in the Civil War. By the time he retired, he had taught almost every subject in the curriculum, in addition to administering the college and expanding it. What an accomplished life! Well done Chamberlain! You are still a hero! Your statues should Never be toppled!

Absolutely. You can fashion a credible argument that had he not prevailed on Little Round Top, the confederacy would have successfully moved on DC. Helluva soldier!
