@travhank1 Fresh immigrants from Ireland, joined the ranks of BOTH armies, North & South in large numbers. They were Volunteers! In the early days of the war, Irish immigrants were among the most willing to participate, and both Yankee and Rebel forces had whole regiments of Irishmen fighting.
@travhank1 It is true that the South, then the North - eventually started drafting soldiers, including those Irish immigrant who did not want to join ... but generally speaking, the story of Irish participation in the war is focused on the Irish Volunteer.
@Otacon144 Or maybe he's just another Yank plastic paddy who aspires to be Irish but doesn't understand the accent so puts the words up to try to make himself look Irish.
@Kalserproduktiones. It's America, but they pronounce it like "Americay". Also, I believe it's "St Parick's Isle", not "side". :) just some corrections.. Props on the lyrics!
Ok I tried to listen to the song and write out, I apologize it was all done crudely, and probably messed up a lot of words. I put parentheses in places where I had no idea what he was saying
Yo irishmen and women too, granny, both young and old
(Dolvo) lamentation now to you I will unfold,
One hundred gallant Irishmen, we a let for to deplore
Whose bodies fell a-beaten hard upon fair Columbia’s shore
It was at the siege of New Orleans, upon the ninth of may
i can believe how so many people got tore apart by states rights and slavery but what i hate is that so many good people have to die because the words of some congressmen.
To sum it up, over the course of about 30 years the North was making policies in government that was damaging the economy of the South, the South got pissed and couldn't take it anymore, so they left, then the North got pissed because the South left and the South fired the first shots, then the war began. The North was fighting to get the South to rejoin the United States and they won.
This was probably the most stupid war which our Irish compatriots took part in as they were frowned upon by the both sides of the conflict and their homeland was occupied by the English with tens of thousands of Irish families dying of famine and mistreatment by the English occupiers.
@BostonEm It sure beat starving in Ireland or anyhwere (Germany, for instance) and the large armies of the period all had large number of foreigners and immigrants serving in the ranks (and sometimes in the officer corps). The the United States had German regiments, Irish-regiments, freedman regiments and even a regiment of Quebecois. Likewise, the Confederacy had an Irish brigade, a regiment of Mexicans and a Regiment of Cherokee, and the British and French each had several Colonial regiments
@ajferet I heard the Union did have Canadians in their ranks, but I didn't know that they had all Canadian regiment, I also didn't know that the Brits and French fought for the Confederate... Why is it that that the Brits and French aren't well remembered? Which significant battle did those French and Brits fought? I did hear about American Indians fighting for the Confederate, never knew about Mexicans (but it does make sense)...
@BostonEm what more can you expect? the fact that they resisted english rule and finally got their independance after 700 years of occupation is a testament to their resilient spirit. How can a defeated people fight off the british if they have no damn food? There was NOTHING to eat in Ireland. First they had to survive, and to do that you had to go to america. When they got to america they had to options 1 starve and have no employment 2 join the army
@BostonEm well im a irish decent (ancestor came over in 1740s ) i know my acestor fought for the confederacy cause he seen the union being like england dictating to the south thats why my 2 great grandfather fought and died in civil war
Luftwaffels, can you please post the Lyrics to the music, and do the same for all of you're other Irish-American songs? I love the Irish and the Scots, but It's so damn hard to understand what you're saying all the time!
@Luftwaffles another great song you wouldnt happen to know how to get ahold of the lyrics to this song would you because i would really like to find them if you could help out i would be very thankfull.
@civilwarfreak1 Actually I was reading a book on them just yesterday. There was actually very many. Many from New Orlens. Heck one had so many most just referd to it as the Irish Brigade of the South. As a side note, most consider the brigades with large Irish men fought the most feriously (sp?), along with the higher deaths.
they were called a brigade, but the 10th Tenn. had only a couple companies of Irishmen. They fought hard and long, and thats how they came known as a brigade, because they fought like a brigade.
i taught there were 40.000 confederate irish(most of them were scottish-irish) and about 150.000 irish for the union. There were also about max. 12000 jews in the CSA army and there was a union regiment(25th michigan i taught, but i can't tell for sure) who carried the nickname 'Holland Rangers' because the soldiers were Dutch Imigrants.
I don't like that, I'm dutch and for the CSA
But, also, some CS generals had Dutch ancistors ^^
@ViccardXViccc Most Germans and Dutch fought for the Republic (Union) because they were themselves Republicans who had fled Europe due to the resurgence of aristocratic empires like France, Prussia, and Austria.
The values of the Confederacy were essentially aristocratic and anti-Republican, so they naturally sympathized with the Union. The Confederates called them "Red Republicans".
@tj2tone In 1860, both the Netherlands and Germany had kings
But anyway, the Confederate weren't aristocratic or anti-Republican.
All the dutch and German ships from Europa to the Americas landed in the north(new york/Boston) and they didn't move to far so they stayed in Northern ground.
600,000 men in the 1860's ins comparable to 3,000,000-4,000,000, going by the population of the United States today. That number is astounding. The war devastated the entire male population of some towns.
@catsareweapons Civil War in a modern industrial state would be impossible altogether anyway. Combat casualties would be the least of the concerns. All the government would need do is shut down food transport and have complete control of 99% of the population over night. How many men could stay in the fiield with their families starving?
Powerful. I can't imagine a worse war. When people were shot there were no medics. they just bleed to death over a couple days screaming. Brothers fighting brothers. 5 stars
@captainfury2007 Not always a couple of days, during the Wilderness battle..err second one(?) the dry ground/leaves caught fire during the fighting. Thats when you knew who your friends where..many were left to not only bleed but burn and suffocate to death. Check out 'wicked spring' wilderness battle scene. its as close as you can get without joining us at reenactments ;) hehe
@captainfury2007 it only takes about 30 seconds to bleed to death especially in cases of preventible deaths. conversely it doesn't take a medic to fix. all it takes is a tourniquet which can usually be self-administered.
