Correction on the Bersaglieri: they ARE assault infantry, originally formed as skirmishers and anti-cavalry units (the idea was that they'd repel a cavalry charge in a square, then GIVE CHASE when the cavalry tried to regroup. They actually pulled it off in the Crimean War) and became assault infantry when the generals realized what this kind of madmen could do. Their most distinctive sign is the capercaille feathers over the cap or helmet depending on the period and now assignment (their cap, the vaira, is still worn on parade, peacetime sentinel service, and high uniform. The fatigue headgear is a red fez). As they were and are part of the regular army, Garibaldi never commanded them (he only led volunteer units wearing red shirts), and in fact it was them who put a bullet into him when he tried to take Rome from the Pope at a politically inconvenient moment.
@@AndreaFasani I know. Finding out was weird for me too... Then again, history is written by the winner, and no Italian government likes being reminded that Garibaldi fought against them once.
"dio e popolo" was written on the flag of the Roman Republic (1848-1849). A company of volunteer bersaglieri form Lombardy, commanded by Luciano Manara, fought there. Being formally citizen of the Empire, probably some of them took refuge in the US after the fall of the Republic to avoid repercussions, hence the idea.

I'm so proud to be Italian American. My Italian ancestors came to America between 1880s - 1910 🇮🇹 🇺🇲 They came legally through Ellis Island. They worked their ass off and became successful
saying they came legally at the time in which indicated is pointless. It was nearly impossible to enter into this country without it being legal at that time. Meaning they just didn't care how you got here it was all considered legal. So stop being racist your ancestors would be appalled by it.
Interestingly enough, Cesnola was removed from command for non specificated reasons. When his superior officer attempted to move the unit to combat, his men denied the orders and assested that they wouldn't have moved without Cesnola on top of their rank. The day after his superior officer (of which I dont remember the name, I'm sorry), came to him and gave him his own sword to lead the men. The officer said to return him the sword, but he had to go searching for Cesnola in the battlefield where he found him wounded to death, trapped behind his horse and with the sword firmly in his hand covered in blood. Cesnola was awarded the Medal of Honor, but American History seems to have forgot all the brave Italians that have fought for America. In WW2 for example, there was the beauty of 1.5 millions of Italians in the US Armed Forces. Some of the first casualties of Italian Americans was part of the crew of the USS Arizona. Many of them was Italians.
So classy he fleed his homeland cos he was trying to recruit revolutionaries while almost screaming insults to the crown. I love the man, but he was probably a handful.
@@AndreaFasani, Frankly, the House of Savoy is utterly unqualified to give moral lessons to anyone, much less to Garibaldi, the man to whom they (and we all) owe so much.
@AndreaFasani , The idea that the House of Savoy didn't deserve insulting is the best joke in two hundred years. Garibaldi propelled that sorry family from a local curiosity into the world stage.
In english is very difficult to explain that every letter can have its own sound. For example, the word HERE has a very different pronunciation than wHERE. But the difference in writing is only the first letter. They destroyed the latin alphabet :/
In my dad’s hometown of Auburn, NY there is a triathlon held each year called the Great Race which features tshirts with a portrait of Myles Keogh on them. Keogh - who is buried in Auburn - was a cavalry officer who died at the Battle of Little Bighorn. But what’s interesting about him is he was an Irishman who started his military career in the army of the Papal States during the Italian War of Unification (many Irish Catholics fought for the Papal States). Later he was recruited from Italy to fight in the American Civil War for the Union and then later ended up in Custer’s cavalry. While he wasn’t Italian, the fact he fought for the pope in Italy made me remember his story while listening to this.
14:09 The reason it says he 'galvanized' is that 'galvanized Yankee' was an expression used during the war for prisoners who changed sides (either way).
Thank you for this very interesting video! I always found the ethnic units of the American Civil War and their particularities fascinating. I hope you'll do a video about the French soon!
immigrants presumably built the rail line from Camden to Cape May during the Civil War. Italians built rails to other seaside locations, perhaps that one as well.
Luigi Palma DiCesnola, Eduardo Ferrero and Francesco Spinola were the highest-ranking Italians in the Union Army. I believe that DiCesnola eventually attained the rank of Major General (2-stars), and later fought in the Indian Wars out west. Another Italian who fought out West was Giovanni Martini, (John Martin), the 7th Cavalry bugler who was with General Custer at Little Big Horn and survived the battle, dying in 1901 in New York. By the way, the 39th New York Volunteer Infantry, ("The Garibaldi Guard"), had a website with photos of their reenactors dressed in the style of the Italian Bersaglieri regiments. Quite colorful and distinctive uniforms. And on the Confederate side, there was a General Edwin (?) Tagliaferro who was of Italian and English descent; although I believe he pronounced his name as "Tolliver".(Anglicized).
I was lucky enough to have a History Teacher who devoted an entire semester to the Civil War while I was in 8th grade, and he would go on a field trip every other year to either Vicksburg or Gettysburg Battlefield with his Class. He made sure we all had a binder filled with the pictures and basic biography of all the key Leaders both Military and Civilian for both sides as well as details of how many of them were former Classmates at either West Point or one of the other Military Colleges, had served together, and were related by marriage. While Garibaldi was approached for the Position it was never a Formal Offer because ot was feared that it would have split the remaining Federal Government in favor of the Confederacy as it would be easily viewed as the enlistment of a Foreign and thus Mercenary Force to Oppress American Citizens and cause mass riots in the North far worse than the Draft Riots. It was not a popular idea.
Could you do an episode about the Poles serving in the American Civil War? I’m very curious if they served in infantry regiments or cavalry squadrons (they are famed for their lancers after all), or both on either side of the war.
Damn, so my grandfather didn’t come over from Italy until after WWII. I’m pretty certain it was a couple a years after it ended when he was still a teenager so I immediately assume whenever I meet another Italian American their family came over around the same time. So weird to think Italians were immigrating almost a century before that.

È interessante questo tuo video. Penso che le guerre come hanno affermato vari storici di varie epoche, siano sempre per interessi strategici ed economici, la verità è che così come al epoca andare in guerra per l’abolizione della schiavitù era un pretesto di facciata che equivale alla frase del epoca moderna di fare guerre per “esportare la democrazia”. Questo è un argomento che andrebbe approfondito senza rimane impantanati.
Ah yes, who doesn't remember the great battle at Jersey Shore, between Gen. Joey Confederacci and Johny Unionisti. But all jokes aside, you gotta love Italian American culture, if only for their colorful contribution to the language
In Louisiana, most of the Italians arrived after the Civil War. The average Italian from New Orleans has very little interest in it. However the Jews were here and they are very connected.
Could you make a video about what were the Amish people doing during the civil war if there anything out there about them during that time thought it might be interesting since Gettysburg happen in there state
It’s hard to wrap my head around there being Italian confederate soldiers because in the south they were lynching Sicilians around this time. This is how we got Columbus Day because of the mass lynchings that occurred in Louisiana.
Some of those Sicilians lynched were actually really tied to mafia and were escaped from Italy to not end up in jail. Also let's not forget that all started because of a killed policeman not out of nowhere.
Hello Hilbert. So you ate all the lingo pies, but left the macaroni cheese for the Italian soldiers of the US civil war? Did they also have Garibaldi biscuits? On a serious note, this was very interesting, since I did not expect that much involvement, since most of the Italian immigration was later as you said. I commented before that my "Nur ein Bisschen" German had me imagined as "Du bist Holländer", followed by utter shock that an English speaker could speak another language.
OK, mates. Let's do the point of the situation. Who discovered America? An Italian. Who gave the name to America? An Italian. Who helped Madison and Jefferson to write the Constitution of United States of America ( the first article is by Filippo Mazzei)? Italian philosophers and literates. Who fought for the Union in the Civil War? Italians. Who helped to make America great? Italians. Could I go on? Yes, I could but I stop here. So long, mates. God bless both Italy and America. 🇮🇹🇺🇸
While I like the idea of Lingopie I heavily distrust them. I can't image that Netflix would allow exclusive shows on another platform, or content of any other streaming service to begin with. Content made by public producers also might not end up there legally? It just feels sketchy.
What the majority of you all don't know is WHAT and HOW Garibaldi was able to get the unification of Italy! Of course, nobody teach it in the schools. Ask any Southern Italian. If they know their history, they will tell you what Garibaldi and his soldiers did to the Southern Italians.
'cause mediterraneans = brown according to the anti-racist mericans. nevermind how you could find more blondes in Calabria and how insanely DARK can my northern relatives get after a long day at the field. mediterraneans come in all shades
Garibaldi was a strict disciplinarian who once used his sword to knock out the teeth of a subordinate officer who argued with him. The union army might not have stood for a commander doing the same to an American soldier
Pizza, as in the Napoletan pizza that pizza as we know it is derived from today, wasn't known much outside of Napoli/Campanian in Italy at the time. It got exported to the US and became popular *faster* here than across Italy because the regionalism and unification took quite a while, not to mention two world wars hampered it's spread.
Sorry, but the quintessential immigrant group in the USA are the Germans. Biggest immigrant group, also, by the time the civil war happened, a wave of particularly idealistic german immigrants had entered the USA, who fled after the failed revolution of 1848. These were particularly involved in abolitionism and were especially eager to join and fight for the Union. Not saying, that italians weren't hugely important, I just have some issues with that framing.
@@screenfixer1936 even today, german is the most Common migration background in the USA, far more common than both Otalian, or Irish, or any orher country. Also, german unification only happened after the civil war.
@@martinbruhn5274 i just wanted to say (in my poor English) that I am proud that italy is a big part of 🇺🇸 Usa, almost at the level of Germany, Ireland, uk and other European countries etc...
@@screenfixer1936 Americans often just seem to act, like "german" doesn't exist as an immigrant group. When somebody in the USA is of german origin, that that doesn't mean anything, even though the majority of all americans has german ancestry. Every immigrant culture gets celebrated as part of the american culture, but german culture often either gets dismissed entirely, or it gets treated as a completely strange thing, that has no relations to the USA. German is the step child of immigrant cultures in the USA. And I get why, but the same didn't really happen to italian, japanese or russian culture.
As an American of both German and Italian heritage, I think it has at least a little to do with where in the country you are. Texas Germans are still a wholly distinct group, for instance. I think part of the reason the German identity isn't as widely acknowledged comes down to 2 things. First, like you pointed out, Germans are the background of a plurality of Americans. Those in a majority don't typically consider themselves distinct or unique. They consider themselves to just be normal. Second, the experience of 2 world wars where the US fought Germany definitely had a chilling effect on the outward expression and celebration of German culture in the US.
The civil war wasn’t about slavery! It was the British crown egging on the South to break off and destroy the Union so the Crown could get their colonies back, same dynamics playing out today
