Awesome! It's great to be proud of your heritage. God bless.
May God bless the South and its Scottish and Irish heritage. 🇮🇪🏴
What if you are a southerner and total English and for the Confederacy!

Well it's great, the Anglo-Saxon and the Celtic should be united and fight for a better world.

@@Hibernica1641 thanks man!
@@SebastianRamirez-lx4hz 👍
wonderful :D
was this sung by the wolfe tones?
Sung by Derek Warfield, who was a member of them
@@Hibernica1641 ok ik i recognised the voice.
This tune reminds me of a song, but I forgot which song it reminds me of.
The Green Grassy Slopes of the Boyne
@@Hibernica1641this song was a surprise when it mentioned Tennessee, where I’m from, I never knew we had any Irish soldiers (although there are many Irish and scots-Irish people here.)
The original tune is "Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean".
There’s a song about Nathan Bedford Forrest in which they use the same melody.
I am certain this melody is older than the civil war though
I myself have Irish ancestry from donegal and cork.
The irony is PAINFUL
?
@@Hibernica1641 I believe this comment is about how the Confederates seceded to preserve slavery.
@@DingusTheArtist yes, that was a terrible thing, of course, but where is the irony?
@@Hibernica1641 Irishmen fled their homeland to escape tyranny, only to sing the praises of a government which was just as tyrannical.
@@grantlathrop6837 Many Irishmen fought on both sides. It's important to see the reasoning behind the average Irish soldier fighting for the Confederacy.
The tune is "Hail Columbia," the USA's first de facto national anthem, and I don't think it's Irish.
It's to the tune of 'The Green Grassy Slopes of the Boyne'
Cringe moment for us Irish
shut it ye idjit
I would imagine! After all, the Irish did march against their own brothers and countrymen, perhaps 5 to 1, in that war.
You might even say the Irish had a hand in the causing of that war, since the Union wouldn't have posed any threat to the policies of the South, prior to, the Irish storming Tammany and demanding the vote for landless immigrants; and the resulting instability in frontier territories/new states. Our wild political system is the legacy of the Irish mob. Super cringe moment for the Irish.
My ancestors fought on both sides, they also had a court dispute in the 1850s, between the northern and southern cousins, over a tract of land in North Carolina, of which the Indiana cousins claimed an inheritance. It's this sort of clannish attitude, and the fact of political influence given, to be wielded by the poor, that facilitated such a bloody war between brothers.
Just being on the side that supported black people being property is cringe
@@FionanUaMurchadha True, that is cringe. Too bad it's the only aspect of mid 19th c American history of which you are aware.
I haven’t heard this one but 100% do like it
check out "general forrest, a confederate" its the same melody
