Who Shot Jennie Wade? The Only Civilian Killed At Gettysburg | Civil War (No AI)

In this video, we investigate one of the most haunting mysteries of the American Civil War: who really fired the shot that killed Jennie Wade during the Battle of Gettysburg? On July 3rd, 1863, as Confederate and Union forces clashed in the streets of Gettysburg, Jennie Wade was baking bread in her sister’s kitchen when a single bullet passed through two doors and struck her. She became the only direct civilian casualty of the battle — but the identity of the shooter has remained a subject of debate for over 160 years. We visit the historic home where Jennie Wade was killed — now the Jennie Wade House — to analyse the forensic clues still visible today.
