- The Civil War Diaries (S1E05)
In today's episode explore the Diary of a Confederate soldier who died in battle, Pvt. Cyrus Franklin Jenkins a member of Co.B of the Thirteenth Georgia Regiment of Infantry. The Thirteenth regiment suffered heavy losses throughout the course of the American Civil War and Jenkins lost his life on the field of battle on May the 12th, 1864 during the battle at Spotsylvania, Virginia. This poor Confederate soldier never went home to his family and if it were not for his writings his memory would be lost to history. If you would like to read the remainder of the diary or learn more about Pvt. Jenkins and the Thirteenth Regiment of Georgia Infantry the reference material can be found here.

Private Cyrus could have made a charles Dickens or a Walter Scott of his time, such a way with language he had to describe his experience. Sad that alot of obviously talented young men were lost like him. Many thanks for bringing their experiences back for future generations.
The gentleman was a fine written man, he obviously had a decent education for the times,..and a well read fellow, and a well raised one too...Especially compared to the pityful excuse for an "education" received in the current time and climate of the United States of America...🙄..ie: the Dumbing Down of America...the sadly..💩 (shit) for Brain's philosophy...of Modern American "education"..🤪
I believe most from that generation wrote like that. They didnt have passive entertainment like tv but read & played instruments instead including learning latin in kindergarden
The Civil War was an obscenity. Didn't free a single slave.
God bless you my friend. Sad how many now in this nation are being disrespectful towards those that faced their maker upon the field of battle, ever once having felt the fear and anxiety that comes before the battle begins. They want to judge these men one dimensionally on the yard stick of justice, but they themselves hoping to never to be judged by the same measure.
Well the same people who claim to hate the Confederacy because of slavery don't see baby's as human beings. History doesn't repeat, but it sure does rhyme 🤔 History is just His Story that is agreed upon by the winners. God bless
Requiescat in Pace, Cyrus.
This young man's eloquence, vocabulary, (and not to mention handwriting and spelling) are amazing. To think he was only a private! I have served under O-3s, O-4s, even O-5s that weren't even close to Cyrus' level of literacy and clarity.
His spelling was lousy although his handwriting was extraordinary.
Yes that’s what impressed me as well. This young “uneducated” man is many times more eloquent and literate than most “educated” people these days.
It is amazing. I saw a video about a soldier in Napolean's army. They really were taught how to write.
I have read callous letters from Confederate soldiers riding home. They all had once in common they written Butte brilliantly, it's beautiful, really? They have dumb down the school system
The history of the US has been very effectively and methodically hidden and rewritten by an international cartel. These oral and written diaries are pure gold in better understanding how our country was brought to Civil War. Amazing how eloquently and poetically this soldier wrote!
That's a serious charge I don't understand. What cartel and why? I'm not repudiating your statement I just think it's an awfully serious charge to make without supporting documentation.
@@gnolan4281 As always, if you follow the money - it's not hard to figure out. The same folks that brought about the Russian Revolution and the rise of Nazi Germany. I suggest you start reading Antony Sutton's work if you're really serious.
@@jnucleo I’m not following your statement. The Russian Revolution was brought about by communists and Nazis are National Socialists (the opposite and enemies of communists). Nazi Germany is the epitome of anti-globalism, so I don’t get how Nazi Germany was brought about by an “international cartel”.
Nonsense, nutbag. They've been lost in tine... photos were new then. Old papers decay. We have sone of their writings left still, thank God. If this happened now the bet us permanent. It was a different world . Btw I d have ridden wuth Sherman. He's my her in that bloody quagmire. End it. Look what was happening to people...losing that stupid stupid war was the best thing ever ti awoken to the south. By far. Their evil would've ended same as ut did in Haiti. With farm tools.
@@gnolan4281 If you cannot manage to figure out your question for yourself, surly no one else can,...you subjected yourself to a total non-issue question...it appears to be a silly attempt for a stupid confrontation over a Dumbing down of of the pityful excuse called "American History" education in this matter...perhaps you should learn to Read first,..THEN learn to UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE READING,..AND THE PERIOD IN TIME IN WHICH IT IS WRITTEN,.. SIR....OBVIOUSLY YOU NEVER SPENT A SINGLE DAY, IN THE AMERICAN MILITARY...IN YOUR LIFE...THUS YOUR IGNORANCE OF THE QUESTION YOU ASKED PERHAPS...
Many of the enlisted men were teachers or clerks and highly literate. This fellow sounds like he may have been a clerk, since they learn to pay attention to detail.
I'm impressed at the words that describe his feelings and experience.
Extremely well written.
Ditto
Man writes really good and spells even better
So eloquent and beautiful writing, and I just love that accent, and I'm English and the fascination of the Civil war enthralls me. Thank you for giving me further education of this most bloody war between brothers.
God bless the resting souls of our brave Confederate dead. You lost our struggle but your song we sing
Long live the 10th Alabama.
@@keithdaniels5918 my kin fought in the Old Ragged First. The 1st Texas Infantry Regiment. They fought at Gettysburg
Pack watch
@@andrewgardner1702 one of the hardest fighting regiments in the war. Did your relative survive?
Happy it took a war for the rich to resolve slavery?
Salute from Alabama to all the brave and honorable men who fought and died for the Confederacy May God bless you always Rest in peace
My ggggrandfather was there in Tennessee where he died. Buried in a Tennessee cemetery with only a rock with a number on it. I went there and found his grave. I am proud of him he was from Texas and was forced to be a southern soldier. May he rest in peace, and hopefully I will get to meet him.
I am curious as to how your ancestor was "forced" to be a Confederate soldier. Was he drafted? Only about 12% of Confederate soldiers were drafted.
Union able to grab immigrants arriving and draft them, or offer $$ to enlist.
The Confederates conscripted the poor farmers to fight. They took possession of livestock and crops, leaving families with no means to survive the winters, after all their hard work (they did so simply because they could). Meanwhile, sons of wealthy slave owners were exempt! Watch Matthew McConaughey in The State of Jones. Reconstruction under Pres Andrew Johnson was NOTHING like Lincoln had hoped for or promised.
Forced to be a confederate soldier? I hate to break it to you but most Texans or sympathetic for the South.
There will be no replies from Mary on this post. She passed away in January.
@@chrisbelvedere6653 there was a draft. With that said it’s hard to say. Union soldiers were drafted as well. Most of these union volunteer regiments were just that. Volunteers. By 1862 63 everyone knew the end game and how deadly it was. They began drafting.
My dad was born in 1924 . An said his great aunt sent 13 sons off to war an none came back . Horrible
That's one of the saddest accounts I've ever heard
In Which The War Of Northern Aggression, Slowly Took It's Toll Upon Beautifully Poignant, Brave Young Southern Men Like Pvt. Jenkins ...
Great job ! I am always amazed at the penmanship from back then .
I guess it goes to show what the internet and media does to folks...
Despite practice my writing never rose above the level of a paranoid schizophrenic
It is evident that this private was well educated by his use of words in his letter. Very interesting video. Puts one in the privates shoes almost.
With you reading his extremely well written experience it was like being transported in time. Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed listening and looking at all the pictures. Take care.
Beautiful, who said these men were ignorant and back woods.
People were actually better educated back then than we have been for some time......the southern universities were the best in the land , you can research all this. Basically what we have been told / taught is all lies.....and that goes for many many things not just the so called civil war
@@greg7129 So true ! More like everything. Sadly
@@lamontpearce170 Amen and thanks for your your reply brother ! !
It would've been so hard for families to know what happened to their family members during this war. I'm sure some never learned what happened to them. But some soldiers came home to nothing. Homes destroyed and family killed.
Once again I am grateful for this wonderful video! Real stories from real men in their own words. A treasure! Thank you!
You are priceless to me , for keeping the honor of these men alive!!
Awsome!
I live extremely close to where he was describing the march before the battles.
Gulley and Kannanaw Rivers....
With the intellect of these soldiers I can’t help but feel that sense only few social elites owned slaves and the lack of the soldiers mentioning slavery as the reason for fighting. Seems like today they were fighting for their rights in general.
No southern soldier fought for slavery or very very few. They fought against the exact same things that their forefathers fought for only a few decades before. Most of the northern mercenaries ( soldiers) other than the USCT would fight you if you told them that they were fighting against slavery at least until after the strategic political move by Lincoln to announce the emancipation proclamation. There are many records of northern soldiers who when interviewed stating that they would desert or leave if they thought that they were fighting to end slavery. Around the end of 1863 or the beginning of 1864 many began to acquiesce to the to idea probably in order to rationalize and attempt to " justify" murder , arson and theft of and from their southern neighbors any way they could. Even the vandal Sherman openly declared several times and recorded in a letter as he was burning Columbia SC that he was " not fighting against slavery but for the union" as Lincoln repeatedly stated until the contrived emancipation proclamation which he obviously had to support and stick by from them on. Things are definitely not what northern revisionists and apologists concocted and force fed the people band subsequent generations to justify their unconstitutional atrocities
After reading some of the comments of this and other videos, I have come up on some who state they had ancestors fight in the war. However, they've also stated that their ancestors didn't really know about slavery and other political issues--'they were just poor farmers who were told to enlist or were just taken'...
So many died on both sides but we were all Americans so sad. And now they're all gone
I'm from the state of Georgia Borned and raised. I had black friends that heir ancestors had slaves. I've seen some letters from their ancestors that actually fault in the Civil War as a Confederate. I've seen photographs of their ancestors in the Confederate uniform. They still have the Plantation houses that their ancestors built to this day. They fought for their land they did not want the North to take their land away from them. There is a lot of stuff not taught in the history books. By the way I just subscribed
So you actually think the north freeing a enslaved human being was inhuman wasn't real reason they fought...if it was white being enslave by another non white race how would you feel. You seem to glorify this life style of slavery making another race work for the murderers, rapist, satanic bastards.of a race God himself acclaim equal as all men or by the eyes and wisdom of the god of all mankind if races and cultures.
Thanks so much for bringing this to us. It was an age when men were men, duty and honour were important, and men did their duty despite mixed feelings about being killed or killing someone else. Later in the war, they became more realistic and many deserted their hopeless cause.
Another wonderful video! Shame on the person that gave it a thumbs down!!
Ehh haters gotta hate, they pushed play thats the important part, lol. Thanks so much for all of the support Aggie, I am glad that folks are enjoying coming along to spend a few moments back in time.
BirdDogg I heard a statistic that 5% of the people who view a video are going to press dislike no matter what. It’s just so disheartening, given the subject matter and the amount of time you put into making such quality videos. I am thoroughly enjoying this series myself.
Just another day on the internet 😂 I appreciate it Aggie!!
I really enjoyed this very articulate and interesting account. Private Cyrus left a very valuable legacy, for which I am thankful. Knowing that he was going to die in this war, made it all the more poignant. This reading was beautifully executed.
Thanks!
I often look at the soldiers faces and I swear I can see so many so similar every time I'm out shopping.
Cyrus was a great writer Chris, you had us there with Cyrus with your excellent narration of his letter, thanks👍🏻
Thanks Hunter!
Loved it!
This was fantastic! Very well written relayed!
The hounds in the background!@!
Loved it ...
On with the History it should not be forgotten.
One of the best informative channels on the civil war. 👍🏻
Thanks, that was the best 15 minute's I've listen to in a long time ⌛
I note this brave soldier’s rank was as a private, the perhaps lowliest of ranks yet his diary proves he was well educated. As mentioned in previous comments he also displayed great descriptiveness, sensitivity and charm in his writing. Definitely not the usual trope associated with Confederate rank and file.
Thank you for this video. It shows a unique and accurate account of one of the combatants experiences in the much misunderstood American Civil War.
Reading through so many diaries now, it’s honestly been a surprise just how many southern troops were well read and educated. But then I recall that even myself as a child of the 70’s read a lot more 30 years ago than I do today. Everything has to be reduced to 200 characters, glossed over in 60 seconds or less with little to no nuance or deep descriptors to speak of. It’s hard to say if we are evolving or devolving at this point, although I am leaning towards the latter.
You Will never be forgotten
By the order of the Confederate States Army and the Confederate States of America private Jenkins is hereby promoted to the rank of Brigadier General and awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor
Wish Americans would fight for their rights today . Another beautifully done production. Who now days could write as this private soldier, with such a wonderful vocabulary and composition. .
They have taken down Robert e Lee and traveler and jeb Stuart, shame on the People who did it
It is humankind's nature to argue, fight, and ultimately kill over various beliefs, both large & small. I see it happen so frequently even today in 2023.
A very touching story of the confederate strugle for indepence dixie for ever, long as the south Will rise you Will be forgotten, you fougth for freedom and liberty thank you
This is great content, and you do great work preserving these memories. The thumbnail I clicked featured a photo of Uinted States troops, however. Not that it really matters since their privations and concerns in the field were more or less the same. Again great content
I had many relatives and ancestors who gave their lives to resist invasion and tyrany in Virginia , Tennessee and GA and never went home who are buried far from their homes some in unknown graves .
This is beautifully and perfectly put
Very interesting. Thanks
May your eternal slumber be forever peaceful Private Cyrus
Fantastic.
As in all conflicts, generations of incredibly talented people sent to die, at the whim of those politicians who sent them...
Hello Chris Enjoyed the video!
Thanks Ray I appreciate you always taking the time to watch and be so kind to the channel and I. Hope I can continue to keep folks interest in preserving history alive!
@@BirdDogg I always will Chris! I've been subscribed too you the longest and always watch them. I've been watching you since you had about 300 subscribers when you were with the other person and your other house! You take deep pride what you accomplish!
I LOVE the name CYRUS!! I named a rescued stray cat who had lived through hell on the streets, CYRIL. I named him CYRIL, because the Vet could NOT spell CYRUS! So ridiculous!
RIP, Mr. Cyrus.
Great text, great job!
I had an ancestor that was in the 13th Georgia, company K.
Well after the civil war was over there wasn't to much left in the South at that particular time in 1865 a lot went West to forget the past and start a new life.
I appreciated hearing this first hand account of this war, which is so important to me. As someone who would've been fighting for the Union, I know that this war was fought over much more than slavery: it was States' Rights and free market economy. Yet I still have so much respect for the Confederate soldiers. And I really enjoy hearing this account from one of them. This war must never be forgotten. Thank you.
The northern aggression was about complying with the Central banking institution of the North its roots in London. Just like today with the Fed. You know indentured servitude.
Lol! Northern agression? South attacked fought sumpter and started war. They were insurrectionist and seditionists in the cause of enslavement of other human beings. Those who didn’t own slaves fought so others could Some of them wrote well.
@@cgpcgp3239 May I remind you the blockade of South Carolina ports were an act of war,and the first act of war.
@@hubertwalters4300 No darling south firing on fort Sumter was the first act of war. But keep busy writing civil war fan fiction for civil war apologists.
God bless them all
Respect to the Confederate soldiers
Thanks Bird dog
He didn't go home because it was gone .feds and Sherman seen to that .they attract there own .only the result mattered .who can be proud of that
How did you come across all of these diarys? So interesting.
Just a little digging. A lot of them are held at the library of Congress and at universities
The story & the writing is a stylized & fictionalized/ account of civil war life & battle....just YT entertainment ...not an actual historical account.....
Long live the south
What is the name of the tune at the very beginning of the video
Does anyone know which battle this was? The only geographic references I heard were northwestern Virginia (maybe WV now?) and the Kanawha River.
I believe this one was Spotsylvania
Both the Gauley and Kanawha Rivers are in West Virginia.
Forgive them, Lord. They knew not what they did. I ... guess.....many if them.....
Subbed. Very well done. Very detailed solider elegantly written and narrated.
Thanks Larry!
Shoot forgot you were doing this tonight...
No worries, glad you found it, sorry it was an ol' reb this time lol...
BirdDogg Haha
Very impressive. Surprised he didn't rise beyond the rank of Private
Whats the song in the beginning?
I see a lot of comments about the surprise of how eloquent these Southern soldiers speak and how great they write punctuating everything else oh, you need to understand the southern men were very very educated especially compared to Northern men. Even the southern men from the Appalachian in Royal Mountain areas the Irish the scots-irish these men spoke multiple languages could read and write Latin they were very educated where most northern soldiers couldn't even read a right. Something that's the northern soldiers didn't like very much was and they freed a lot of slaves or captured black southern soldiers who could read and write because many were schooled by those terrible racist Southerners the northern soldiers didn't like that too much.
Eloquent.
Im just here to look
Hope ya see something ya like
@@BirdDogg bro I literally was captivated by this.
@@katkloxproductions6339 Thanks Kat. I’m hoping to do another season soon, just been working myself to death trying to afford getting my house built. Soon
Do have any things on the Fort Delaware it was a pow camp for Confederate soldiers
So sad he was a brave man excuse soldiers
Why the visual records, at least as important as the verbal, go so consistently uncredited where possible utterly escapes me. In this instance I know the history of many of these photos including their provenance can only add to the story. Throughout youtube this an endemic problem
I try and do the best I can with what I have. Honestly with these read diaries I try and make them in more of an audiobook format as if we were there listening to them tell the story and the visuals are just used as a representation of the words being spoken to help further their narrative. I'd like to think the entirety of the story could be told however without the benefit of being able to see the video itself as I know I personally often just listen to videos almost like an old time radio show. At any rate, I try my best to make reference to as much of the material as possible in the amount of time I am able to devote to these. I will try and keep it in mind though, thanks!
The sin must and will fall upon the agressor’s heads.
Of cotse it was written was they went through it not in the ryes of tomatic
The south had every right to leave the union...they joined volunteerly and there for they could leave the same
Iam sorry the douth did not comcoder the costof ehat it would take to jump into an war agaist aabigger enemy and they were defeated andany of the young boys on both sides did not come home and if they did they were mamed for the rest of their lives
What kind of accent is this?
Deep South Virginia
Personally, I don’t like the flowery metaphors of the times. It feels like they are more interested in impressing the reader with their writing capabilities than with the job at hand.
I have a letter, written by a relative to his fiancé, after being captured at the Stones River battle.
It has none of this style, but only that of a young man hoping to outlive the war and be with his lady.
It is easily read and understood.
If you compare demographic differences in North and South you may be surprised to learn that southerners had a significantly higher percentage of well educated men and women than the North. That is certainly not the impression I had after serving my sentence in the public indoctrination centers of the 60s & 70s... but statistics don't lie. I suppose they're one avenue of inquiry that wasn't adjusted to fit the prevailing narrative.
Please provide a link to support your argument
@@djquinn11 There is no link. I don't have sufficient confidence that our lauded establishment "historians" points of view on certain aspects of the post Civ War era are factual, so I do my own research. I was researching Reconstruction, since I felt my knowledge of the period was thin. My finer question soon became whether food assistance was provided for the winter, (of 1865) to former slaves after Gen Sherman confiscated or destroyed all foodstuffs, farm animals live and stored on his return from Atlanta. Every horse, cow, pig fowl, were killed. Vegetable gardens destroyed by dragging a chain between two cavelrymen up and down fields, using animals to trample gardens before shooting them. It seems they wanted everyone to starve to death, including freed slaves.
I believe the next avenue I pursued was Census Bureau stats, which are available to all. I was searching for a number that would show the percentage of former slaves who chose to remain on the land. The number was lower than I had guessed. While I never found reliable accounts of food being provided by the Union for the ppl they'd fought so hard to free, I found several other avenues of interest. I made notes to share with others studying the period from 1855-1875 and probably wrote a short summary, but that was ten yrs ago. As I said in the previous comment, I was stunned to have been so misled. I seek facts, abhor politicization of every topic related to the war North and South both foolishly succumbed to. The USA owed France a fortune after the Rev War. I believe we'd been paying 20% of GDP on our debt since the 1780s + or -. The Civ war cost the nation half our economy, killed and disabled close to a million men/boys, ppl with dark skin were "freed"- only to be reenslaved when the Organic Act of 1871 made slaves of all of us. So many ifs were on the horizon that could have contributed to a better outcome for all.. if only the steam tractor had been exported here from England 5 yrs earlier we might have avoided the atrocities of war. Many more ifs can be found. Alabama, Mississippi and Georgia's countryside still show the scars of war for those who dare to look.
I now believe most if not all of these machinations were choreographed by the same globalist aristocracy who are all up in our grill right now.
@@djquinn11 provide a link that refutes his point.
@@rt3box6tx74 My dad had a Master's in American and World History. I have studied the Civil War as a Adult for 45 years. I was blessed to go to a Private School in the Seventies.. Between my dad and School I learned a more truthful History.. My dad was raised in the North but he was a Intellectually honest man. He was in WWII. He was hired by the Maryland Department of Education after the War. When he received his Teachers Book for History he said while we were busy with war much of our History has been charged and into twisting facts. Two days ago I worked hard reply to a person that stated so much false History form the Church of Lincoln. U Tube refused to let me post my long reply that only contained Historically Accurate Facts. You see they hate it when people can rebuff their lying narrative that Lincoln and the North were Morally Correct to invade the South. That is BS. I had 3 Ancestors fight at Shiloh and many other Engagements. Two for the South and one from the North. I have my Federal Ancestors release from the Federal Army after the war. I guess I was blessed that all three lived after so many Battles. You were teaching just some of the terrible things that the Union Army did. My Union Ancestor was under Grant and Grant was not a murder of the Defenseless sparing Memphis and Grant refused to shell Vicksburg because of the Civilians. What the Union Army did to the so called freed slaves was monstrous. Like you said they forced slaves from their homes and separated families. They destroyed the Food Supplies and murdered their White Family which were defenseless Elderly, Women and Children. Many black family members died defending their White Family and black family who were made folly of by the Blue Thugs. They had no choice but to follow the Union Army for food. They slowed the March and they were already being out Marched by a Tiny, starving and barefooted Army. They pulled the Pontoon Bridges to keep the slaves from following them. Many of the slaves died trying to swim the rivers to keep up with the Federal Army. Lincoln was going to Colonize the blacks out of the country. He was in negotiations with Britain to Colonize the blacks to Belize, Liberia and other places up to the day Booth Shot Lincoln. Lincoln lived by the Sword and died by the Sword. So they started putting the not free slaves into Detention Camps where 25% or more died from disease and starvation. History that is being destroyed is not History. I was so happy to read your comments. History should teach the two times Lincoln was willing to sell the slaves out for Revenue. History says the South started the war and that is not true. Blockades are a attack. Lincoln sent a Fleet of Warships led by the U.S.S Harriet Lane into Charleston Harbor firing over the Bow of the Nashville which didn't have a Flag. They tried to resupply the Fort. The Federal Fleet had no Authority to fire at any ship in Charleston Harbor. Beauregard and Captain Anderson who was the Union Officer at Ft. Sumter were best friends. How do you think 34 hours of Shelling each other that not one Union Soldier got a scratch. Lincoln said it worked out like he hoped. This is a question that they hate: Do you think a bloodless Battle between best friends was a good reason for according to new studies 850,000 Americans Deaths including thousands of slaves? Of course not. Do you think one State joined the Union Voluntarily knowing if things went bad for their State and wanted to leave their State would be invaded by a Federal Army that raped, murdered, tortured, burned and pillaged? Of course not.
@@kurtsherrick2066 Every time I receive a reply like yours, and I'm sure you know they are few and far between, I find the fortitude to continue to speak out to an audience that refuses to listen no matter how ridiculously juvenile the prevailing narrative is. Your reply is much appreciated. I have some hair-raising family history that I learned not from family members (they never spoke of the CW) but I stumbled onto while doing a word search on my father's grandfather's name. In the Texas Slave Narratives there was an account of a (forced march) trip to TX in Sept 1865 that is quite politically incorrect in today's climate. My forebears were wonderful ppl who had a close relationship with their freed slaves for no less than 130 yrs. As a very curious 9 y.o. child I met a few of them when we visited my 2 ole maid great aunts in Waco. They knew things about my little brother and I that weren't picked up in casual conversation. Wonderful gracious ppl (who happened to be black) stopped by for afternoon tea and a visit. If only I'd have known who they were. And to think 55 yrs later one from among their family gave me the most precious gift I could ever receive. The knowledge that my forebears weren't savage monsters as is regularly depicted in "historical" materials. Are you familiar with the work of Mr H.K. Edgerton?

HUH? RESPONSIBLITY????? WHAT YOUNG PERSON, OVER (10) YRS. OLD EVEN KNOWS WHAT THAT WORD MEANS... TODAY?????
Should not have been fighting to keep slavery in place
The North owned their slaves until the end of the war before they gave them their freedom and they said they were fighting for the slaves freedom. The last slaves were freed in New Jersey 1865 a Northern State. I see it as a mixed message.
GOD bless brother Jenkins, his comrades, Country, & Cause - the Cause which conservative Christianity and decent respectable people continue to resist.
A wonderful reading of the material, as always.
