This one is not actually Irish. It commemorates all the NYC regiments, some of which were ethnic Irish regiments but by no means all. Many of them were composed of Germans, Italians, and other immigrant groups, as well as American citizens.
I had ancestors in the 15 Ohio and 36 Va. infantry.Their grandchildren married and had my dad. Most people who fight the Civil War with their mouths never had anyone in their family in it.
@makedeido People like you are the reason that ignorant people in my culture still think all Germans are Nazis. What was that old adage that my mother told me? If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all.
@makedeido Because the federal government was still responsive to the people back then unlike today. If there needs to be a war today it needs to be from a united front from a United Staes ala the 13 colonies.
United we stand divided we fall, or otherwise balkinization of our great country.
and after 10 or 20 twenty years the goverment of the usa changed the constitution to conquer the north american continent and to and keep him in possession
and the southern states wanted their indipendence and their Self-determination to gover their people and to take care of his people.
@makedeido Democracy is everyone expressing their opinions and cooperating with their neighbors for the good of the country, Democracy isnt rushinging into treason just because they didnt get what they wanted like a spoiled child, "Yankee tyranny" in Tennessee? Do you realize how many Tennesseans were rounded up and held without trial by the Confederacy? Do you realize how many of your states citizens were hanged without trial normally close to railroads so people could throw things at their
@markmason1000 fresh corpses?,do you realize that when the Union Army entered Knoxville crowds rushed out of their homes to greet to Union Army as liberators? and finally do you realize starting in 1861 how many of the citizens of the Volunteer state crossed the mountains to escape to Kentucky in order to enlist in the army? The answer to that last question is close to 40,000 white men in both Tennessee units like the 1st Eastern Tennessee Volunteer Infantry and out of State units
HA if u love the US yankees you'll also love the CS army of NOTHERN VIRGINA if u dont like it ur talkin to a CS family really u are i'm the great great grand son of JEB STURT!!!
@panzerabwerkanone i am ! u r ass who is ass u r JA! i was a bloody yankee but then i understood the civil war and jiond the confederate army. i was in the iron city gaurds and then i left be casuse well my pastor was Robert E lEE; and the confederacy was right for leaving the union. i have respent for damed yankee basterdes and i will colmly explain my logick if u like.
@Thx1138d They also spouted a bunch of bullshit about state's rights being violated by the north. The only "Rights" trampled upon by the north was the supposed right to own slaves. I'm from Texas but I can't stand when idiot southerners rant and rave that the Civil War was not about slavery when it totally was. It was the root cause. The Civil War was a direct result of the Mexican American War, which was fought to expand slavery to the west coast. The south is full of idiots. I'm ashamed.
@redconfederate Guess what you little shit? The war is over. Now please stop disgracing the southern land before you regret it scum. By the way troll, learn to spell you pissant wanker.
Hey folks. I am a diehard son of DIXIE. But unlike the usual yankee that shows up on a Southern video, all i have to say is... "God bless ya, a sword salute to your dead, and good day."
@bluegrassreb haha it just show our southern hospotality i hate it when other americans bash my beloved CSA i love my america and by god i love the south GOD BLESSEM ALL!!
@alexcowart People who gave 5 year old kids a living when they could have been starving to death, especially when a penny was far more valuable then,than now most certainly deserve our respect more than nigger owners.Nigger owners who started a war to reserve the right to hold even the children of the nigger slaves in captivity.
the first virginian regiment was actually conducted in moundsville virginia then now moundsville west virginia so long live west virginia and virginia there the best place to live you yanks
@EMesaros No problem :-) I know that he sings quite a lot of civil war era music,though most of the songs I've heard are confederate songs,like Dixie and the Bonnie Blue Flag.Union or Rebel,either way he's still a very talented singer.Hope this helps! :-)
Ha, I didn't mean to type "Love live the Union." I guess I was debating between typing "I love the Union" or "Long live the Union". lol. Well, I love the Union, and I say, Long Live the Union! I'm very proud to be living in the U.S.A.!
@Zeeboe Perry went way overboard. Think about all the things that are made stronger because of unity. To handle them all as a single state is just crazy.
The difference is, people popularly disagree with Hitler and distance themselves from him. Meanwhile, the Civil war is part of the South's cultural identity. You'll find plenty of Hitler and the Nazi Party in German museums, though.
Villians and traitors of the United States should have no memorabilia or mention being as they tried to destroy this nation and bring foreign powers to wage war against America. Flying the flag of states rights under the pretense of slavery. States Rights is null and void when you deny the individual the most intrinisic human right: Freedom. Glorification of any type of the C.S.A. should be on the same plane with Al Qaeda, being as they they are both terrorist elements who had the same goal.
So I guess our founding fathers who owned slaves were evil and wrong as well? Our founding fathers not only fought the American Revolution war for their freedom and independence but also to keep their slaves as well.
During the American Revolution there were 500,000 Africans in "America". British officers nailed notes on trees, basically telling the slaves "Join the British Army for your freedom". Over 100,000 joined the British.
That's the funny thing to me about "John Brown's" out there. George Washington owned well over 300 slaves but none of the "John Brown's" EVER say anything about that.
Not many of the slaves in the colonies were granted their freedom. Britain lost and the majority were left. A few were brought back to Britain.
the air of england is so pure... not free, also, the english at that time were at a different stage of development, and had a much larger workforce, one of the pros of bieng an empire. They had plenty of cheap labor, also, most of their foreign workers, like in india, worked in slave like conditions.
@heliodor001, Without England the French, Swedes abd Dutch would have continued colonizing North America, hence there wouldn't have been the American revolution against the British, but maybe one against the French etc.
The Confederate Army should be considered be as traitors and flying the Bonnie Blue Flag or the Stars and Bars and other C.S.A. flags should be illegal, treasonous and punishable by jail time as invoking detrimental partisanship between states in the Union. Statues of Confederate Generals would have to be taken down at once, as this is akin to hoisting a statue of Hirohito. Towns named after "heros" of the C.S.A. or more so villians
theone1087 Its Heritage not hate there displaying there gratitude for there ancestors there is no dishonor in that, im for the union and i fly both flags to honor the men on both sides who fought and died for the cause they beleived was right.
There are plenty of statues of Hirohito in Japan, and they will not be taken down. As Japan will not disgrace its heritage, neither will the South, as any such move would be seen as a denigration of the local culture. Slavery and secession were wrong, but too much blood has been shed to be forgotten.
The same states were also 1-6 in total population, the same order(among free states) as of 1860.
I have yet to find any information on numbers served compared to total population. I'm sure it is out there out somewhere, and I know I could do it myself, but have not yet gathered all the figures together to make it easy.
THEN we would definitely know which state contributed the most vis their flesh and blood. I believe I once read it was Iowa, but cannot verify that.
I had 51 family members that fought in Massachusetts regiments. In 1667 Richard Proute left Rodmarton, England and at the age of 14 sailed to Plymouth County, Massachusetts. At 16, he helped fight off Indians that attacked the settlements. He had 26 kids and 190 years later when the Civil War broke out, over 200 "Prouty's" fought. The last name changed from Proud-Proute-Prouty over the last one-thousand years.
There is a Prouty park, Prouty woods and a Prouty HS in Massachusetts.
I'm a New York Volunteer from a much later war, Vietnam to be exact, and all that matters is when your country calls, you answer. I lost half a foot, and now I'm being affected by Agent Orange poisoning, but I don't regret what I did
@MrKrazy8 "twas in the year of 76"? If it would have been in 1976 you fought then the lyrics would fit very well ;) I proudly salute you yankee volunteer! long live the american patriots. if the patriots of USA disappaered then we would be in really deep shit.
@MrKrazy8 The Vietnam war was all about oil, just like Iraq. Do you think Iraq would have been invaded if their mayor export product was broccoli and they where not sitting on one of the biggest oil reserves in the world?
@MrLoganDunleavy im late here but isn't this song about the civil war that happened in AMERICA what does vietnam have to do with irish new york volunteers who volunteered sometime in between 1861-1865 a full on hundred years before the war in vietnam happened which was hardly over oil anyway it was about the spread of communism throughout south east asia and America's vow to stop it dead duh.
@MrLoganDunleavy aha i see now that person is a retard who probably got one of the many reasons we went to war in the middle east mixed up with a war we fought 40 plus years ago
I'm from the Lockport area and my dad has done re-enacting in new york units of the 155th 151st and 69th ny. He's been all over the new york units xD good video
I'm fairly certain that New York committed the most troops to the union army during the civil war. we rule. The Irish Brigades, the Zouaves , and now the 10th mountain. damn we are good
"The British nation can be counted upon to carry through to victory any struggle that it once enters upon no matter how long such a struggle may last or however great the sacrifices that may be necessary or whatever the means that have to be employed; and all this even though the actual military equipment at hand may be utterly inadequate when compared with that of other nations."
Trolling is the act of making someone feel ridiculously uncomfortable online to the point where they can't deal with the text/images anymore/murdering someone in an arguement. I was baiting by the "Mein Kampf" and the "SSPanzer" to bait anti-Nazis.
ok...... when did i say he lives in upstate nyc? i asked him if hes from upsate or nyc, he said buffalo and i didnt ask him if buffalo's in upsatate ny
he was yelling at me lol you said upstate and i responded with Buffalo giving the impression that Buffalo is upsate when it is not. my bad i will commit buffalonian sepuku
yeah and soda is "pop" right? Upstate is anything above the catskills. that being Albany, Syracuse, Buffalo, Rochester, watertown, and all the hick towns up north. but yeah Patterson is a grade-A fuckup

It refers to the Boston mobs that tried to stop the union soldiers of 6th Massachusetts from getting to Washington D.C. during the trip through Boston, the 6th shot at the "traitors." The next units to arrive were the 8th Massachusetts under Butler and the 7th New York, all went around.
God Bless New York's fighting volunteer soldiers! The Empire State sent many of her sons off to war, I'm proud to say that I was born in New York and proud to be here.
Actually, Flintlocks had a similar design appearence, but required considerably more time to load and reload.
With Precussion Cap Rifles which had farther range than the older Smoothbore Musket that which was the Flintlock, one needed only half of the original 13+ steps needed to load a Flintlock in battle.
As to why the appearence is similar, its because the flint in the Flintlock was located inside the hammer, but was prone to breaking at the worst times and those the Precussion Cap Rifle.
There wouldn't have been a war if King Lincoln had let the states secede peacefully, as they attempted to do. It wasn't a "civil war" either, it was a war for independence. The South wasn't fighting to control the central government, they were fighting to form a new nation.

I'm a New York Volunteer from a much later war, Vietnam to be exact, and all that matters is when your country calls, you answer. I lost half a foot, and now I'm being affected by Agent Orange poisoning, but I don't regret what I did

God bless you MrKrazy8.
And I thank you.
My father was New York Volunteer in World War I , wounded in France. (Fortunately, like you, he lived or I wouldn't be here to post this comment.)

@MrKrazy8 Would have won that one too, if the idiots in Washington had learned to keep their hands off when it comes to war.
Didn't help they supported a government rife with corruption and we were so close to actually winning too.

@MrKrazy8 The Vietnam war was all about oil, just like Iraq. Do you think Iraq would have been invaded if their mayor export product was broccoli and they where not sitting on one of the biggest oil reserves in the world?

@MrLoganDunleavy im late here but isn't this song about the civil war that happened in AMERICA what does vietnam have to do with irish new york volunteers who volunteered sometime in between 1861-1865 a full on hundred years before the war in vietnam happened which was hardly over oil anyway it was about the spread of communism throughout south east asia and America's vow to stop it dead duh.

I'm fairly certain that New York committed the most troops to the union army during the civil war. we rule. The Irish Brigades, the Zouaves , and now the 10th mountain. damn we are good

Trolling is the act of making someone feel ridiculously uncomfortable online to the point where they can't deal with the text/images anymore/murdering someone in an arguement. I was baiting by the "Mein Kampf" and the "SSPanzer" to bait anti-Nazis.

It refers to the Boston mobs that tried to stop the union soldiers of 6th Massachusetts from getting to Washington D.C. during the trip through Boston, the 6th shot at the "traitors." The next units to arrive were the 8th Massachusetts under Butler and the 7th New York, all went around.

no, its a rifled musket with a percussion lock

how come the percussionhammer ressemble a flintlock so much, is it modified?
skyttegravspoppare 2 years ago
Actually, Flintlocks had a similar design appearence, but required considerably more time to load and reload.
With Precussion Cap Rifles which had farther range than the older Smoothbore Musket that which was the Flintlock, one needed only half of the original 13+ steps needed to load a Flintlock in battle.
As to why the appearence is similar, its because the flint in the Flintlock was located inside the hammer, but was prone to breaking at the worst times and those the Precussion Cap Rifle.

There wouldn't have been a war if King Lincoln had let the states secede peacefully, as they attempted to do. It wasn't a "civil war" either, it was a war for independence. The South wasn't fighting to control the central government, they were fighting to form a new nation.
