We'll Fight for Uncle Sam

U.S. Civil War Song sung by David Kincaid. It's pretty much about Irish Troops in the American Civil War and how they are fighting for the North. It also has a little something about Britain.
Set to the tune of "Whiskey in the Jar"

God bless the men of Ireland that fought for their new country.

Irish are always welcome in America. Hell they make up most Americans.

What i respect about the Irish in the Civil War is that even though they weren't exactly for emancipation (because they feared blacks would take their jobs) and were treated like crap in northern cities, they answered the call and fought bravely for the Union.

50.000.000 US-American citizens have German roots.

The Germans fought for Lincoln and the Union. All immigrants were brave soldiers.

As they have since the nation's birth, Irish-Americans continue to fill the ranks of the armed forces. In Iraq, the outfit with the strongest Gaelic roots, the old Irish 69th New York (165th in World War I & II) & now the 1/69th was given the place of greatest danger --- guarding the highway between Baghdad Airport and the city. For the unit's bravery (which ranks remain some 30% Irish) Congress passed a special resolution of recognition & thanks -- the only time it was done in that war.

@jacobwolf124 Todays a bit different, were no longer tiny rebelious colonys we are now full fledged nations in size with massize ecomonys

[jacobwolf124]

@TexianPride When we won independance from Great Britain Congress made states stronger than the National Congress, like nations, but soon the Nation was deeper in dept and had no Army to defend because states were to give money to Congress when asked and supply an Army in war, so that didn't work as well as it sounded.
