My Confederate Memorial & 'Dixie' (the song)


Title:
My Confederate Memorial & 'Dixie' (the song)

Description:
This is my video dedicated to the old 'boys in gray,' i.e., the military branch of the old 'Confederate States of America,' who gave SO MUCH of themselves (including time and again their very own blood) and their lives for a cause they held DEAR to their hearts, namely: Southern (states) independence from the United States of America. Many today call that a 'lost' and/or a 'wrong' cause; regardless, for those of us who LOVE and DESCEND from them (me included) they are the DEAREST of our HEROES, whose GLORY, BRAVERY, HONOR, and TALENT few of us in our lives have ever come even CLOSE to matching. Now I'll stop crying (...shows how much I love these ole' boys). This video is dedicated FIRST! to THEM! and second to all of their descendants out there: God bless y'all!...I know most of you are INCAPABLE of forgetting them. :-|

NATIONAL ANTHEM OF CONFEDERATE STATES
The Confederate States of America (also called the Confederacy, the Confederate States, and CSA) is the name of the government formed by eleven southern states of the United States of America between 1861 and 1865. However, since the CSA was never recognized by other countries, by international law and custom, it was never properly an independent country.

Song of the Irish Brigade (Confederate)
Music: David Kincaid Song of the Irish Brigade Paintings: Don Troiani (Drive them to Washington/Altoona Pass/Little Round Top) Lyrics: Oh, not now for songs of a nation's wrongs, not the groans of starving labor; Let the rifle ring and the bullet sing to the clash of the flashing sabre! There are Irish ranks on the tented banks of Columbia's guarded ocean; And an iron clank from flank to flank tells of armed men in motion. And frank souls there clear true and bare To all, as the steel beside them, Can love or hate withe the strength of Fate, Till the grave of the valiant hide them. Each seems to be mailed Ard Righ, whose sword's avenging glory Must light the fight and smite for Right, Like Brian's in olden story! With pale affright and panic flight Shall dastard Yankees base and hollow, Hear a Celtic race, from their battle place, Charge to the shout of "Faugh-a-ballaugh!" By the sould above, by the land we love Her tears bleeding patience The sledge is wrought that shall smash to naught The brazen liar of nations. The Irish green shall again be seen as our Irish fathers bore it, A burning wind from the South behind, and the Yankee rout before it! O'Neil's red hand shall purge the land- Rain a fire on men and cattle, Till the Lincoln snakes in their own cold lakes Plunge from the blaze of battle. The knaves that rest on Columbia's breast, and the voice of true men stifle; we'll exorcise from the rescued prize- Our talisman, the rifle; For a tyrant's life a bowie knife!- Of Union knot dissolvers, The best we ken are stalwart men, Columbiads and revolvers! Whoe'er shall march by triumphal arch Whoe'er may swell the slaughter, Our drums shall roll from the Capitol O'er Potomac's fateful water! Rise, bleeding ghosts, to the Lord of Hosts For judgement final and solemn; Your fanatic horde to the edge of the sword Is doomed line, square, and column!
Rebel Yell at Gettysburg
75th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg, 1938. Footage of Confederate and Union veterans shaking hands over a stone wall. I don't know if this wall contained stones used in a stone wall during the actual battle in 1863, but probably so. It starts with the old veterans shaking hands and calling "Hello Yankee" and "Hello Johnny" and things like that, then one Confederate near the camera takes up the Rebel Yell for a few seconds. Laughter is heard (source unknown, possibly a bystander), then the old old Johnny identifies it: "That's the Rebel Yell!" One can only imagine the thoughts and memories brought up by that, especially among the Union guys on the other side of the wall! At http://www.46thmsinf.org/Rebel_Yell.htm is claimed that a jolt is perceived in the Union vets.
