My great-great-grandfather emigrated from Ireland to America and served under the stars and stripes as part of the Wisconsin Cavalry's 4th regiment. Proud to know my ancestor fought to save the Union.
The civil war in my opinion marks the true founding of America. Where America wasn’t just an idea, but an idea that was practiced. Where Americans decided that they were only free if they were ALL free. That was the start of the eternal battle for a more perfect union.
It marks the beginning of an all powerful federal government and the slow death of State rights, which was something the founders always feared. We now have a bloated Federal government in ridiculous uncontrollable debt and a populace which hates each other. If not for the fact we are all stuck together, a National divorce would be inevitable. We should of stayed apart. The competition between the two would of been beneficial.

I still haven’t forgiven the confederacy for destroying lots of family records during their invasion of Kentucky. There isn’t much records of my grandpas family pre civil war.
Many Kentuckians helped the Confederacy invade. Culturally southern, they sympathized with the cause, however it was divided and many more helped the Unionists.

Under "Star Spangled Banner", Federal Gov founded, Under "Battlecry of Freedom", Federal Gov intact. If the National Anthem changes, this must be it. It defines what the United States IS.
The term "Yankee" means "Coward" In Cherokee (I think?) but did we shun that nickname and push it away? No. We embraced it and proudly called ourselves that. Because if being a Yankee means being a true patriot, then we are proud to be a goddamn Yankee.
"Yankee" has an unknown origin. One theory was that it was the nickname that English colonists gave to Dutch colonists since "Jan Kee" (pronounced Yan-kee) was a common Dutch name. Regardless, Yankee Doodle Dandy was a British song that was used to mock the American colonists and gave popularity to the term.

I'm a proud descendant of a Union soldier. I would like to make a comment about your graphic, After Antietam Mclellan sent a report to Lincoln saying that he had driven the invader from our soil. Lincoln was livid! He said it was all our soil. That was the last straw for Lincoln, he fired "Little Mac" as soon as politics allowed. I concur with Lincoln. The whole country should be on the graphic.
My paternal grandfather fought against the Nazis, and my maternal grandfather fought the Empire. Germany and Japan were both very infamous for enslaving and murdering entire populations of so-called inferiors, so this song is very fitting for their actions in the Big War. R.I.P. Richard Arthur Nash (1925-2021) and Rudolph Oliver Vigiletti (1922-1998), you will be remembered.
No way you compare countries that brutally killed tens upon tens of millions to some southerners who liked to own people for labor 💀
bruh this is about ending slavery
@@Dumhorse Yes, that’s what my grandpas did.
No, they were not involved in the American civil war, which was to end actual chattle slavery of an entire race.
@@Dumhorse So? In both instances, it was a moment in human history where one people put their liberty and pursuit of happiness before another’s right to life. The only real difference between chattel slavery and genocide is that in chattel slavery, you most likely would be killed immediately.

Probably
the first is the star spangled banner

When the southern kid cries about "sTaTeS rIgHtS" for the 50th FUCKING time.
It wasn't about slavery. It was about remaining true to the ideals of liberty and self-determination. The South was fighting for those and was forced back into the Union against their will at the point of a bayonet.
@@agm8554 The south fired the first bullet, separatist.
@@agm8554 If you do your research and look at some quotes from confederate generals and politicians, you'll learn that it was. in fact, about slavery.

"It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried."
--Winston Churchill
"The greatest argument against democracy is a talk with the average voter"
@YeeChannel every government ends up with corruption, there is no infallible system, because if you could create one, that would mean it is perfect, which is simply impossible
@YeeChannel It is an objective fact that democracy has the least amount of corruption compared to all other forms of government.
@YeeChannel pretty sure they aren’t a democracy. If they say they are, then they’re just saying they are. They surely are not in reality.
@YeeChannel too scared?

That's why we call it the *United* States. The Union forever!
I still haven’t forgiven the confederacy for destroying lots of family records during their invasion of Kentucky. There isn’t much records of my grandpas family pre civil war.
Many Kentuckians helped the Confederacy invade. Culturally southern, they sympathized with the cause, however it was divided and many more helped the Unionists.
Union soldiers did the same thing
Although my country was a enemy of america in the 1890s, friends during the 1900s, I'll never forget their men's sacrifices for their beloved country. Love from the Philippines, Union Forever!
I think you got it reversed sadly, Spanish-American war was in the 1890s (1898) and the Phillipine American War was in the early 1900z

Great Music from an interesting time during American History! Great songs to sing!!!!
Down with the traitors! Up with the Stars!
This tune strikes a chord within me; it speaks to the very depths of my being.
Always affects me deep inside , for the men who fought on both sides NEVER let anything tear us asunder again .
Under "Star Spangled Banner", Federal Gov founded,
Under "Battlecry of Freedom", Federal Gov intact.
If the National Anthem changes, this must be it. It defines what the United States IS.
The term "Yankee" means "Coward" In Cherokee (I think?) but did we shun that nickname and push it away? No. We embraced it and proudly called ourselves that. Because if being a Yankee means being a true patriot, then we are proud to be a goddamn Yankee.
Yankee gigachads where u at?
Here I am, want to shun some confeds?
Comon boys, raise the colours!
Come throw your sword and muskets down you do not them handy although we Yankees cannot fight at runnin we’re a dandy!
"Yankee" has an unknown origin. One theory was that it was the nickname that English colonists gave to Dutch colonists since "Jan Kee" (pronounced Yan-kee) was a common Dutch name. Regardless, Yankee Doodle Dandy was a British song that was used to mock the American colonists and gave popularity to the term.
The union forever.
“And we’ll fill the vacant ranks with a million FREEMEN more,”
I hate the comment sections on these things. The confederates were wrong and got what was coming to them, and that's all that need to be said.
Anthem videos attract a lot of shitters, go to any music from a dictatorship people in the comments are Simps for Authoritarianism and Hatred.
Crap there confederates I’m there comments trying to flip the song meaning
hear hear!
top 10 roasts of all time:
"confederate flag ugly xd"
“ and we’ll fill the vacant ranks with a million freeman more” brings tears to my eyes. 🥹
Its Freedmen. The song is referencing escaped slaves fighting for their rights and the Union.
Freedom needs to be defended now more than ever.

I love that the map shows the proper United States, absent the traitors. Awesome.
I loved that too! I woulda been confused af if the map of the South was included.
@@shyryTsr2kThe United States consists of the South, has been the case since 1775. The real United States of America is the South and North together, as brothers and fellow Americans!
@@williamsherman1942 during this period in time however this is not true. The Southerners are our brethren of course, though they planned to recede from us, though it failed thus being with us today. I got family from the South mainly Texas and Louisiana and they're great people over there, very Christian and religious but very hospitable as well. You ask for one thing and they tell you that and 10 different ways to go about it. Never been to Louisiana yet however I'd love to visit New Orleans and Baton Rouge where my aunt is from.
@@shyryTsr2kThere’s a difference between southerns and confederates, the South was split with Unionists and secessionists. Remember West Virginia and the bloody violence before the civil war? All over anti-slavery and pro-slavery nonsense
Wasn’t the entire point of the civil war so that the traitors didn’t surrender
