The rebel yell is a 3 part yell. A short high pitched yelp, a low pitched bark, followed by a long high pitched yelp. I really liked the battle you did here and it looks very real, with the cannon fire, down to the branches being cut by musket fire! Well done! Wish I was there to be a part of it.

And another thing, STOP argueing. Lets take a lesson from little leage soccer n all be winners. Lets forget it n quit argueing n start thinkin bout preserveing the history which is in serious trouble of being destroyed by Modern expansion and political correctness. Im from NC, 10 direct confederate ancestors n I TRY to use a non-bios attitude. The whole point is both side are fighting for what the believe in. they have the moral conviction to stand up for what they believe in.
Well the CS lost a lot of soldiers, though they won battles there loses were not much better than the Union in most cases, definition of winning a battle was basically who was dumb enough not to order a withdraw first, that was the style of warfare. Where the CS won battles in Virgina they lost an equal number if not more, Shermans march Georga to Virgina, woods, swamps with very few loses, one CS General said there was no greater army than Sherman's since the Age of Caeser of Rome.
... you're not very smart, I said "Where the CS won battles in Virgina they lost an equal number if not more" I was refering to battles you ninny not casualties. Lee's army won battles, while CS forces in other parts of the war lost a great many battles and had very little success compared to Lee's forces.
@Shafeone are you even a reenactor? if not then u don't know what it feels like to be shot at and watch your best friend,brother,father,son die right in front of you. given i know it's not a 100% like the real thing but you get into it and it really can become the real thing.
@stewie13 You're kidding right? No it can't. You know you're not going to get killed. It not 1% like the real thing. it's just a fun day out. Have you ever been shot at by REAL ammo? You ever hear REAL round crackle over your head? (Not "whiiiz" like in the movies...more like a ladyfinger going off in your ear from the sonic boom of the bullet). I have. It ain't the same. Don't get me wrong. CW enactors are great. They keep history alive. But they will never know what it's like.
@Shafeone yes i have been shot at by real ammo. and no reenacting a battle is not just a fun day out. i've been shot at by a minie good sir that's the bullet they used in that war. so don't go sayin that u know ur not gonna get killed ppl load there gun with very real ammo sir i've had ppl in my unit shot cause of those idiots so don't start with that.
@stewie13 Ah I see so you are equating an accident by morons who don't know that you never point a gun at anyone period to actually being shot at by men you know are trying to kill you? How many reenactors did y'all bury in your last "battle." Look I'm sorry you were born too late and thus missed all the fun of having your guts torn out by a shell on cemetery ridge and writhing in agony, praying for water - or death. Hey! Why don't you reenact the Wilderness? Who gets set on fire? No hands?
Never trust hollywood to give you an accurate portrayal of history.
There is a film on youtube of actual surving confederate soldiers doing the rebel yell at 75th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg in 1938. It's not a yeeehaaaaw.
Gosh u guys WHO CARES. It was a motley collection of screams and crys that made a loud den or roar. Combinations of freight, excitement and Fury. There are a few recordings, all sound different. The "rebel yell" is unique and the southern uniform and the different men who wore them.
well Hill only had one Beat up Corp to take Washington. I never heard of just one Union Corp attack Richmond it took there whole army and a long seige1
Seriously. There were cowards on both sides. There always is in every war. Dude, I get it, you're pro-union. Hey, thats cool, but human nature is always the same on all sides, whether dishonorable or honorable, bad or good.
Until you have actually heard the angry buzz of the bees going past your head, and seen your buddies blown away and looked down to wonder what part of them is on your clothes, NONE OF US knows how they are going to react.
TRAINING can overcome some of this, but it's Espirit d' corps that forces a man to fight down his natural survival instincts, and stand and fight.
