I'm from England, and in my 65th year on this rock. I'm proud that I have studied the Civil War since i was 12yrs old. I amazed at the work being done to preserve Civil War relics . I wish i could be involved n the preservation and restoration of these amazing artifacts
I’m interested to know what do you English think about the American civil war? Especially the Confederate cause? (Not being slavery as many say, but being states rights, my family fought alongside Robert E.Lee and we never owned slaves) I know that most British sided with the south because of what they saw as “bullying tactics by the north” as quoted by Arthur Lyon Fremantle. I’m interested to know what they say about it in the u.k. thank you.
ANNO DOMINI ...my mates on a scuba dive off north wales near the island of Anglesey in 1982 recovered a confederate silver dollar ....apparently many others were found on this wreck ...they were payment for uniforms made in England for the confederates ....they weren't grey but khaki too l believe ....
@@annodomini7887 The British Monarchy wasn't so much for the "Confederate cause" as they were for the weakening of the US economy and military. Britain wanted America to come back home.
ANNO DOMINI I'm English /Irish ,I had ancestors that fought in The Confederate Army . I'd feel more at home in the south than I would anywhere in the UK .Mass immigration was forced upon us It's just like the USA now .My loyalties are with the South .Where I've got more chance of being around my own kind of people, hunting, fishing living off the land .I feel as if I'm being pulled to the south as my ancestors where
@@richardjeffery517 - Hi Richard. From my studies of the conflict I can say that the region of England i was born in tended to support the South . But so did Lancashire and a lot of Yorkshire and The Midlands area of England, due to the textile industries in those regions . Also , the CSA Ship Kearsage was made in Cammel Laird Ship Yard in Birkenhead ( my home town and I still live there, My younger brother was a master welder at that ship yard). And I can add that there was a Confederate Embassy in Rodney Street, Liverpool in the early 1860's. The building is still there !!( it is just across the River Mersey where I live). Pretty much the sole reason that the British Government did not actively support the CSA was because of the slavery issue. It may be worth having a look at the Liverpool History of a place called ' Goree Piazza'. This place occupied a portion of what is now 'The Stand ' on Liverpools Waterfront district. It is strongly believed that this area lodged slaves bound for 'The New World" before William Wilberforce finally convinced the British Government to outlaw slavery.
And to think that its neighbor museum tried its best to put Memorial Hall out of business...thank goodness Memorial Hall won in court and has been able to survive. Thoughout my life of 60+ years, as a New Orleans native, (please learn how to pronounce New Orleans), I have often visited the museum. They have done an excellent job of restoring Civil War flags one by one...they used to have a bottle for coin donations to complete flag restorations. I hope and pray Memorial Hall continues for another 100 years+. Best wishes, and thank you!
They'll get around to it they can't have any history of people rebelling against the government that they felt was against their wishes that's a bad place for young minds to go that they can actually change things are stand up against tyranny after all we know the Civil War was a war of Northern aggression they'll get around it they'll tearing down statues here in Texas are lefties or everywhere the only good thing I got to say is I'm a short timer thank you Jesus I won't have to see when we go full blowing commie
I have a canvas and leather knapsack carried by a relative in the 4th AL. I also have several letters, one of which describes a bible in the knapsack stopping a minie ball. The sack has a hole in one corner and the bible which I also have has a big chunk missing from one end of the binding. This happened at the battle of the Wilderness in 1864.
My ancestors was wounded at the Battle of Spotsylvania Courthouse 1864 he was captured took to Elmira New York he was released June of 1865 God bless my ancestors God bless the Confederacy
Wayne Sigmon what unit? Fighting was brutal there. I also have a letter written from behind the earthworks at Sporsylvania which was about a week after the Wilderness. I’ll e-mail you the transcription if your bold enough to list your e-mail here. Interesting letter.
Since my mother had just past away, my sister and I we're cleaning out the house and we have two sets of Confederate officer uniforms and battle gear from my mom's great great grandpa so be my great great grandpa. The uniform is a complete set from what the Chicago Historical Society has told us. They stated it one of the most rear they have seen in a very long time that is a complete set. We even have the saddle for the horse
I am from the UK and visited this museum in 2014. Really good. It’s pleasing that items in storage do get an airing and are shared on video. Pleasing that subject is treated with such respect and the war is not sensationalised.
In the background of the first part of this film is a gentleman that is my dad, Reavis Floyd Chancellor, his grandfather was a civil war solder, William Floyd Chancellor. He died in 1923. Dad passed in 2007.
@icy purple Obviously the video was made before My dad passed away. I know my dad when I see him and also know that mom and dad did some travel in that area to see some friends that lived in New Orleans.
Are u saying this is over 14yrs old and was uploaded last year with this quality..... it goes to 1080p not many cameras for small documentaries had that capability
@@dwightk.schrute3435 I am white but that is not the reason to the way you are referring to, I'm not racist like some people I just like learning about that time period, I have had friends my whole life of different races.

Fantastic! Please make more videos showing some of your amazing collection. Your fans from abroad, like me, who cannot come to visit , would be very happy. Thank you!
Amazing relics and a very incredible collection. I sold these type of items in our Eagles Nest Antique stores, in Ind. and Az (closed down many years ago). And just a few years ago almost the very last pieces including saddle bags (they were slightly post CW) stirrups and swords on the internet.. Down now to 2 bullets from the battle of Gettysburg and a no longer working stamped 1821 Danzig rifle converted to percussion sitting about 10 inches behind me. I'd LOVE to see any firearms used in the CW at museums or in use...

I once found a doctors medical kit in an old abandoned farmhouse from this era,had the saws and some horrific looking instruments,it still haunts me,i left it where i found it!
Kris, thank you for preserving and educating others on this history. I met you 5 yrs ago and we chatted about the flag collection in the vault. Please make a vid on these. Everyone would love it. BTW, I'm a Wisconsin born Nevadan that loves this museum 👍
Amazing! Thank you so much for sharing this. I really wish a lot more people had access to this part of History. It's a shame that a lot of groups in this country want to erase the Confederate part of our American history. I'm not trying to get political, I'm just saying
No one wants to erase history. There's a difference between removing monuments to traitors from the public square and putting historical items in a museum. These are museum pieces and no one wants to shut any of this down. After WWII, Germans removed Nazi iconography from public display. Was that erasing history?
@@megamoze First and foremost, they were not 'traitors'! A more accurate description of federal soldiers would be 'mercenaries', but you'll hear that so rarely you'd remember it. To equate the Confederate soldiers as 'Nazis', and yes, you did, is ignorant and reprehensible! Finally, yes, that IS erasing history!
Ive been to this museum a dozen times. It is a remarkable building full of incredible pieces of American history. Please visit it, learn from it and appreciate what both sides sacrificed.
Outstanding thanks for posting...funny how closely the backpack and bedroll looks like what we used in The Corps in the early 70's; our Full Field Marching pack consisted of a wool blanket and half of the canvas for two person tent affixed to the top of our packs.
The place is great. Love the petrified tree with the cannon ball and the Gen. Butler chamber pot. The even sell hardtack at the register. No wonder they dunked it in coffee.
Awesome behind the scenes. History is definitely more than looking up stuff and putting the information next to it. It's documenting and interpretation and how you came up with those conclusions. Appreciate the hard work that goes into all of this.
I’m currently in possession of a black cast iron pot that was given to my great grandfather after he was discharged from the Confederate army. They were allowed to keep their rifles to hunt game on the way home. It took him 5 months to walk home from Chattanooga to Philadelphia, MS.
In Blanco, TX there is a carriage museum with saddles and bed rolls from the civil war. The carriages are authentic fixed up and rented out for movies and TV shows such as Jane Seymour The Medicine Woman. There are westerns made there as well.
This is where confederate objects belong. Not upon a pedestal in the form of a marble statue, but in a museum to show the history without glorification. This history needs to be preserved for future generations, and museums are the best way to do such. Sincerely, a museum worker.
But the left IS attacking museums now. Don't believe me? Look up Mt. Vernon, The Hermitage, Monticello and many other historic house museums and read the reviews. It will not take long to see a one star review and an attack on the museum simply because the person who lived there was a slave owner. As if the house (now a museum) is guilty. So you are shooting yourself in the foot and hurting your own carrer with comments like yours. They will be attacking your site next!
Close. His name is reavis chancellor his grandfather william floyd chancellor was a civil war soldier who passed in 1923. The man in the background died in 2007.
I have been to this museum many times, nearly every time I go to New Orleans to visit my sister. its a bit of a walk from from the World War II museum but worth is for civil war buffs,
I was in New Orleans 2008 and this place was closed for renovations. But l managed to see General Beauregard' s house which is kinda half house and half museum. Also saw Lee statue at Lee circle.
Very cool to the the above military relics. Love listening to videos like these. Very informative and well done. Thank you for sharing . Dave blackburn
History has always been fascinating. I'll rephrase this: True history, not the white washed revisionist history we are force fed in schools, is fascinating. I've been fortunate enough to have visited most of the major civil war battlefields. Visiting these sites brings into perspective what all these men faced.
Such a unique and fascinating time in history. It's a shame it's become so politicized now. I was so pissed off when Audible UK removed Shelby's audiobooks. Cancelling extremists I get, but banning anything to do with the Civil war, that's just madness.
Believe it or not. I remember when I was a young kid in the late 50s I had a magazine where you could order these back packs and other relics such as belt buckles and so on. I don't know if it was leget. But it was fascinating to a 12 yr. old.
Man when I was a kid in the late 90s I loved collecting this stuff. Wasn't cheap and I had to scrimp and save. I bought a leather wrapped wood knapsack from the Mexican American war that was used again the the Civil War. Most of the rig was there, cartridge pouch (civil war), cap pouch, but the buckle and bed roll straps were missing. The great great grandson kept the CS belt buckle that had at some point been attached by his relative. I got the set and a tintype picture of him in his uniform for 900 dollars. when I turned 16 I bought an 1817 Model Henry Derringer common rifle dated 1841 to complete it, still in original flint lock. I shoot it all the time. I'd never sell that set out of my military collection! And for what it's worth, there were left handed soldiers in the Civil war, they were trained right handed, but in combat shot left handed. In fact Nathan Bedford Forrest was and shot left handed, though some say he was ambidextrous, he always shot left handed until wounded in the right arm and had no choice to.
wireless one it needs to be fed. That’s why he wouldn’t open certain pieces. It’s too brittle. Nothing greasy just a moisturizing leather conditioner. They need to get the corrosion off of the metal pieces ie ferrules & rivets.
If it is known I wish he would have identified the Confederate cartridge boxes. They look close to copies of the British type but only have one large belt loop in the back (the Brit ones have accommodation for shoulder strap) and the closing tab is sewn on in a circle (the Brit box is sewn with stitching not seen on the outside. But to have two identical CS boxes is pretty neat.
It seems that officially the branch colors would follow Red = artillery, yellow = cavalry, etc, etc. BUT there are many many uniforms that do not follow this. It also depends on which region or state the soldier was from. Some had black facings - e.g. North Carolina early war state issued sack coats had black should straps for infantry and yellow for cavalry etc. Interesting that the CS hardpack knapsack still had all four blanket straps. Wonder if it was used and for how long.
My Great, Great, Grand Uncle was a Paymaster for the Confederate Army during the war. We still have his paymasters chest. It must weigh 200 pounds. Takes 2 of us to move the thing!

Some had black facings - e.g. North Carolina early war state issued sack coats had black should straps for infantry and yellow for cavalry etc. Interesting that the CS hardpack knapsack still had all four blanket straps. Wonder if it was used and for how long.
🇬🇧Watched a video on the civil war rifles firing those minie bullets. Devastating.
My Great, Great, Grand Uncle was a Paymaster for the Confederate Army during the war. We still have his paymasters chest. It must weigh 200 pounds. Takes 2 of us to move the thing!
Really cool stuff thanks for sharing
