One of my friends at reenacting charges the Confederate line and takes a hit in the middle of the battlefields and has a secret camera recording the rest of the battle.
Well, they're trying to be. The stripes on their trousers are not wide enough, tigers didn't wear straw hats after they were issued their first official uniform. They only wore straw hats when they originally were mustered in new orleans.
nobody really knows for sure but it seems that the real rebel yell had three distinct parts, separated by short pauses, and sounded something like:
wah! (short, like a mad bark)
hoooooo! (low, and long)
eeeeeeeeeyyy! (high pitched and long)
when done repeatedly and simultaneous by hundreds of people, it sounds like a freaking overpowering wall of high pitched "yeeeyeeeeeyeee"s against a rolling backround of growls and barks. sometimes in the 1930s some guys did a simulation, google it.

Walk five feet and it's a charge? That was stupid, as somebody who supports the Confederate Cause, I always thought a charge involved the following
30,000 confederates yelling at the top of their lungs
running while yelling at the top of their lungs
and dancing around while running and yelling at the top of their lungs. Not walking 5 feet, stopping, and yelling fall back !

Yes, those zouaves are Wheat's tigers if I recall correctly. I should know I re-enact with their association the American Civil War Society.

I'm not even sure that can be called a charge. They went all of 20 feet and then fell back to their original positions.
