The band members are wearing the uniform of The Grand Army of the Republic --- the principle Union veterans organization --- the American Legion of its day. Its counterpart in the South was The United Confederate Veterans. At their peak, both wielded tremendous political power at the local, state and federal levels.
@borbo23 Actually nimrod, slavery isn't a crime or even a sin to the Lord. God specifies very clearly under what conditions and how to treat a slave in the bible. Of course you wouldn't know that. Like Lincoln and Sherman you probably never picked up a bible. Thats ok you soon will be wishing you would have.
@retusyllib Practically every denomination disagrees with you, anymore, and still many disagreed at the time. See, there's more than one version of Christianity, and they don't all believe the same things.
Yet really, one must wonder how someone can honor their lord by enslaving and abusing his creations. Then the Union completely crushed the Confederacy, which does seem to suggest a judgment by God.
@mikethefoto The band is wearing costumes from the Civil War era. If they were outdoors, they would have long wool coats on. Just looks sort of Amish, especially the hats.
I drove all the way to St Louis at Calvary Cemetary in Missouri City where Sherman was buried... Then I PISSED ALL OVER HIS GRAVE AND TOMBSTONE.... Fuck you Billy yank for what you did to Atlanta ....you'll always be a coward and war criminal ..
Personally, I am proud that the Protestant Ulstermen took our fine tune, written by Henry Clay Work in Chicago in1865, and turned it into "We Are the Billy Boys", even if THEIR "Billy" was William Prince of Orange and not "Uncle Billy" Sherman. After all, colonists of Scots-Irish ancestry were the very backbone of George Washington's Continental Army during our War for American Independence. Consider the tune a token of thanks from a grateful people.
@BenAliGtor who cares where the tune came from. protestant ulstermen, i am baptised church of scotland. and dont care. you irish should get your finger out of your arse and live life the way it should be lived. your lives are controlled by religion. "frankly my dear, i dont give a damn"
@EmperorOfSeleucia fag., thats a peculiarly american term. i am home, in scotland. you are the foreigner. how can you be "irish till you die" if you are an american. oh! and another thing, the term is "Erin go bra" wally!
@MrJimmyboy1972 Indeed, actually im irish born here and live here. And for your information Erin go deo is the correct pronounciation For 'Ireland forever' You just failed epically
@EmperorOfSeleucia your not irish, your american, born and bred,. you yanks think that you can claim your wee bit of (home) after hundreds of years away from the place. i am a scotsman! born and bred. and proud of it. another thing i cant fail i am british, BORN AND BRED! i can trace my ancestors back as far as the "viking" invasion. what about you?
@MrJimmyboy1972 How many times do i have to say this???? im irish i was born here i live here i have a fucking irish passport what more do you want?????? IM NOT AN AMERICAN
@EmperorOfSeleucia oh! sorry. this is confusing, you were born in america? you have an irish passport. because your father was irish? you consider yourself irish. why do you live in america?
In a way no one won the Civil War,we ,both sides,the loss was tremendous,as everyone who died was an American.But,yeah,the North won,but, we were all the losers in the death toll.
God bless Uncle Billy and his Bummers. They brought the war to the South and rammed it down their throats. This song shoud be our national anthem. The South has been lying and exaggerating the march ever dince it happened. In my view Sherman was too easy on the graybacks.
No arguments here! My great-grandfather was in one of Sherman's NY infantry regiments--and he was on the March to the Sea. By shortening the war, this march actually saved lives on both sides. I'm all in favor of destroying property if it saves lives. As for the civilians, it was a**holes and elbows for them whenever they got word that Sherman was coming--they weren't typically around while the bummers were doing their thing. Armies exist for 2 reasons-kill people and break things. War is Hell.
@rudi1889 I dare you to tell that to my ancestors who continued to fume over the fact that Sherman took "all the d#@$ chickens, and burned everything else" for the rest of their lives...
@rudi1889 Rammed it down our throats like at the battle of Kennasaw. Oh yeh, they did one hell of a job ramming, and digging in the side of that mountain to hide from us with their mess kit spoons. You wouldn't know about that boy.
@rudi1889 Yeah, and Grant was too easy on that butcherous devil Lee! How the South glorifies Lee, considering how he used them as gun fodder for his megalomaniac glory, amazes me!
@rudi1889 yankees tried to kill my 3g grandfather. he was a civilian. the only reason they tried to kill him was because his son (my g2 uncle) died in the confederate army.
@rudi1889 Nice to see another person disgusted with the Confederate Nationalist Revision of perhaps the United States most brilliant military mind aside from Winfield Scott. Grant is a close close close third. The south has revised Sherman and made him to appear the devil incarnate, when in fact he saved countless southern lives and was hardly responsible for most

The deepest level of hell is reserved for traitors. ;)
