What important role did Joshua Chamberlain play?
He was a professor at Bowdoin College in Maine, and joined the Union Army as an officer. But what most people know him for is commanding the 20th Maine Regiment at the Battle of Gettysburg. He earned the Medal of Honor there- his regiment was the edge of the Union army, and had to defeat several Confederate assaults. At one point, his troops ran out of ammunition and he had to call for a bayonet charge, which successfully drove back the Confederate troops.If his regiment hadn't held the line there, the Confederates could have broken the Union flank, and if that had happened, the Battle of Gettysburg- and even the whole Civil War- would have ended very differently.
What was the importance of flag bearers in the civil war?
Flag bearers did just what their name entitles, held their colors on the battlefield. In the Confederate Army each regiment had a battle flag and sometimes a state flag. In the Union Army each regiment carried a national flag as well as a regimental flag which had the eagle holding a shield. Not only were these flags a symbol of pride to the soldiers, they also had the very important job of helping to keep the men in line (you were taught to "dress" on the colors) as well as help commanders know what regiment was which and where they were on the battlefield.
