My dad, born in 1921 and long since passed away. spoke of remembering civil war veterans marching in parades like this when he was a little boy. Awesome! Rest In Peace Dad.
My mother born about the same time as you dad would talk about the civil war vet coming to town on a Saturday morning sat on the wall in front of the court house in the small town we live in talking about old time with each other.

My dad born in 1920 once told me that there was a hanging in our parish seat (we live in LA & don't have counties). Two men robbed & killed a business man around 1935 & that was their sentence. He & a friend snuck under the large tent & saw the hanging. He told me it was horrible & he wished he would have not done what he did.
Your post reminded me what he told me as a teen.
@@gerryconstant4914 I'm sorry, but I don't see the connection. My dad was a WW2 vet and piloted B24 bombers over Germany and was nearley shot down more than once. His name was 1Lt Courtland Crandall and his ashes are intered at Ft. Roscrans military cemitary on the Point Loma pennisula in San Diego California. One day, young children will be watching the few WW2 vets that are left alive, marching in a parade as my dad watched civil war vets when he was little. I'm proud of you Dad, and I Love You. Rest in Peace. And thank you for your service. BTW. I served in Desert Storm and retired from the Army and Army Reserve combined.
My Great great grand father rode with Uncle Forrest dam proud.
My two great grandfathers were US Army officers for Abraham Lincoln.
My great great Grandfather rode with General Forest at Shilo. Sargent Thomas Monford Wells with the Louisiana 1st Calvary 5th division. His group surrendered on May 16,1865 in Mobile AL. They had a hard life.
@@EwingOil509 Mine was Robert Cayten 25th calvary partisan rangers Steeds cal, then Wheeler then Forrest all the way thru selma.
I had another G G grandfather Samuel Slade 7th Ms infantry Sharpshooter Jeff Davis Rifles kept that old Enfield barrel hot.
@@marksaucier I found a book that lists everyone who fought for The CSA Louisiana 1st Cavalry . Amazing part was that his Father was appointed by Lincoln to be the Governor of Louisiana in 1864 because he was a Union man but his son was a Sargent for the CSA. My great, great, great Grandfather was Governor James Madison Wells. We were a small country back then only 33 million.
What a beautiful and historic event. To see the former “Rebs”, now Americans one and all marching proudly. Wouldn’t it have been wonderful if sound movies had existed then. We could have listened to the martial music and the old vets being interviewed.
Were there U S military veterans there??
@suzannakoizumi8605 there would be if were in other wars and also some of the men served in politics or ambassadors to foreign nations. These men led full lives included many of the same variety of expertise our people who fought in other wars went on to do such as our WWII veterans fought then had decades of careers, politics, service to communities or serve aa foreign ambassadors, teachers and more.
Ineffably moving and stirring. The American Civil War was unlike any other war in history. The more you learn the deeper it gets. It’s the most difficult and important thing humankind has ever done. God bless them all.
Its kinda like the ghosts that marched by in Poltergeist pretty cool
From riding horses in the war to a reunion riding in cars...
Heroes and legends of the south! The south shall live forever.
God love these gallant souls.
One of the finest American Generals of all time. Had his picture in my northern office for a long time, and may do it again. If you wanna have a good time, if you wanna have fun, jine the cavalry, jine the cavalry.
Would have kept fighting if they could have seen the events of 1965-2024. Wouldn't have had to though if the Northern soldiers could seen those events play out, as well.
so that's what old traitors look like
Traitors to whom exactly? A government that offered them no services, no support, no infrastructure, or to their families, communities, friends and homes? I’ll take the second option eight days a week.
Yep!!!

Plus, wanted to exclusively Tax southern states for their income.
The old cars were awesome. If those people could see the automobile today, they would probably ask "what's all that crap under the hood for?".

If you can tell me the song on the sound track I would love to learn it.

If what read about Nathan and his men are true and sure it is! Legendary they just make men like that anymore. Sorry guys we need to man up soon. Or all is lost.
Greatest citizens there ever was and still got kin that get it done!!
I was a knighthawk from 92-96
We Southerners were way too quick to make war. We could’ve won if we’d have planned ahead for another year. Northern industry is what beat us.
What year was this 🎥filmed? My guess is 1913, 14?
1914
@@BirdDogg thanx!
What year was this film from?
The majority was from 1914.
What year and city was this?
1914, Jacksonville
Our church is prepared and said they can protect us with prayer and the power of the lord,
When and where did this happen?
Where are Forrest’s troops?
Where it says Forrest’s troops, they’re the ones holding the flag that says Forrest’s brigade and they are also Interspersed throughout the video in other spots. That’s the easiest spot to recognize them though
What a wonderful life,
Just imagine if they could know that someday people would be watching this on their phones
My mother went to her great uncle’s 100th birthday, he fought for the south
She said they had a shooting match and he used his old musket and came in first
I'm not a southerner, but as veteran I would have loved to go back and listen to them tell their stories!
I can tell you my gg-grandad was fighting when a bullet wizzed by and took part of his ear off. Head wounds bleed alot so he asked his friend" Scotty, am I hurt bad." His friend replied, " I believe half yar head is blown off". that was the story handed down. He was confederate, and yes I read N Forrest biography. He and his men had nothing so they took it away from the enemy.
That would be interesting. To hear about the war crimes they committed at Fort Pillow.

Lincoln was the REAL WAR CRIMINAL, along with SHERMAN and others.
The beauty of my Nursing career was that I worked with older pts, some real sick, some not…but Imloved talking with those who were veterans about the Wars…I took care of a pt that served under “Joseph Vinegar Joe”Stilwell, my ancestor…I loved my old pts bec of their stories, many of them I still remember…❤❤❤❤❤
We are just 2 handshakes away from this generation and 3 handshakes from the revolutionary war. Our grandfathers as young boys shook hands with these civil war vets and we have shook hands with our grandfathers.
Those old veterans loved their automobiles and welcomed all modern conveniences as soon as they came out. An exciting brand new World if you grew up the way they did.
Beautiful !!!! I wish I had their autographs !!!!! 🕊️🕊️
I've got a picture of my grandfather with the battle flag on the wall in the living room. The wall of warriors, all the family in uniform from the wars , Semper Fi!
In 2012 the Dept of VA Affairs reported a civil war dependent was the last paid pension recipient alive
And even more recently (not too many years ago, in NC, I believe), the wife of a Civil War vet died, as she'd married the aging vet as a young woman, originally being just his caretaker; however, when the vet realized he'd never really be able to pay her what he should've, he decided to marry her, so she'd at least be able to collect his pension as a surviving spouse😮 👍😃🇺🇸
Anyone who was alive at the end of the Civil War in 1865, even if they were born on the day the Civil War ended, would have been 147 years old in 2012; highly unlikely, or one of the best frauds ever.

My Great Grandfather was in the Great Army of the North and fought General Sheridan and I love the rich history of both the northern and southern armies!

Did anyone else notice the lack of street crime and homeless drug addicts
they do have a big tent city lol.
Great comment! There may be some horse feces but no human feces.😆
Maybe they did have those problems. I think it's true that a high number of civil war veterans became morphine addicts
Just noticed a lot of sharp dressed people, but I'm just an old Marine.
@@jakejackson6730
There was an opioid epidemic right after the “War of Northern Aggression”.
Most of the soldiers who suffered amputations and horrible wounds were given Morphine or other Opioids to help cope with their pain…thus they died addicted to the drugs.
But, this film was in the early 1900s…by then those men had passed on into their final destinations.
Most of these old Confederate Soldiers, in this film, were extremely young during the “War of Northern Aggression”.
Have read and studied the achievements of N. B. Forrest for most of my adult life. And to think that these are the actual men who actually rode with the "Wizard of the Saddle" is just amazing. What men they were.....
How did he say it? “Be there at the battle firstest with the mostest?”
@@jackzimmer6553AND when boxed in, split up and charge n BOTH directions.
According to the Nashville's Historical Archives, my 2x great grandfather (a gunsmith and blade maker) and his brothers (saddle and harness makers) would sneak out of Nashville at night to repair guns, swords, knives, and leather work). In exchange, they were provided with a few baskets of apples which they took back to town. On one occasion they stopped by a advance union scouting party. They pretended they couldn't speak or understand English, just German, they were held overnight and released...minus some of the apples. Later, after the war, they supposedly repaired the guns and rifles for Jesse and Frank James, who had briefly settled just outside Nashville. The gunsmithing business is still around although they do locks, keys, and security systems.
He could ride a horse but he started the KKK after the war, a man full of hate.
Men of honor, and truth
Wow this is quite extraordinary real living history in front of our eyes. Greetings from Scotland 🏴
@tango22ah
Many Sottish immigrants to the U.S. settled in the south and fought for the Confederacy. Many southern towns were named after Scottish cities. My grandfather, for example, was born in Inverness.
You scottish people can empathize with southerners since your ancestors fought a civil war with England! Cheers!

Nathan Bedford Forest said best damn soldiers he ever fought with talking about his black soldiers called them his body guards and was very proud of them !!!! Was in many battles with them Nathan was a leader of men regardless of there color but then again they make excuses or deny it every happen !!!! But it is well documented in his memoirs !!!!! Just like Lincoln’s great compromise to the southern states to try and keep them in the union before the war !!!! It’s in Lincoln’s own writing but they don’t want to talk about that !!!!! I got news for you back then most were racist white black white red or yellow !!!!! It’s like Elon musk said we were all slaves at one time or the other it was just a matter of when and by who !!!!! All races are guilty!!!!
Truth!! Say it loud, and say it proud. These communists in our country are trying to erase all our history. Real Americans need to STAND UP, AND SPEAK OUT.
I don't know where you got your information but there were no black soldiers. This is from “American Battlefield Trust” on the internet which is an organization that helps preserve American battlefields: “Black men were not legally allowed to serve as combat soldiers in the Confederate Army-they were cooks, teamsters, and manual laborers. There were no black Confederate combat units in service during the war and no documentation whatsoever exists for any black man being paid or pensioned as a Confederate soldier, although some did receive pensions for their work as laborers.”
@@chris93703 that was general policy. Some did serve as combat soldiers,
@@seanautilis15
What is your source for your belief some were combat soldiers? The idea was floated around towards the end of the war but never put into practice.
@@chris93703 That is false information published by a biased organization. They fought and served and some recieved veterans benefits. You've never heard of Holt Collier from ,Ms . I have a pic of my GG grandfather and one of his slaves he freed. They both signed up and are in uniform. That org has put a lot of nonsense out. Like granny said don't believe nothing you hear and only halfof what you see.
Thanks for helping keep the memory of these heroes alive.
My 3x great grandfather rode with Genl John Hunt Morgan and was captured in the Ohio raid. He was paroled and on his way home he was ambushed by pro-Union bushwhackers in East Tennessee and murdered.
Interesting. My 3x great uncle rode with Morgan as well. He escaped the Ohio penitentiary after being captured.
@@JB-qd3xu How bout this-my other 3x grandfather fought with the 5th TN INF (Union) at Franklin and Nashville.
Thanks for this History in Film.... Well appreciated...
He was a Brilliant Commander and definitely not utilized enough during the war.
Both Bragg and Hood misused him. Forrest tried to convince Hood not to attack at Franklin and to use a ford on the Harpeth to get around Schofield's rear but Hood was stubborn and unappreciative, not recognizing Forrest's superior knowledge of the geography and his tactical talents.
Dixie then! Dixie now! Dixie forever!
Hurrah for Dixie!
Hi Thank you for showing these Southern Heros. God Bless Them and You for showing this:) 😊
Southern heroes were few and far between, as they often did not fight as soldiers, or went north. Confusing the human vets from the movement and historical impacts of the rebellion should not be commingled nor normalized. Coming from a southern family, nearly all of my direct family members during this period who served fought for the south, they also made other horrendous decisions based on today's morals and values. I will not condone it nor will I excuse it either. It is who they were, warts and all, not who I am. They were not heroes in any classical sense, just folks swept up in the greed and power of idiotic politicians.
@jonjdoe There was No need to reply to my Statement. This is how I and ALL I know feel. There is lots of free room here to make your Statement of how you feel.
Traitors. Losers. Enemies of The United States.
These are men who took up arms against the USA to keep a race of humans enslaved. These are not people to be honored
Nathan Bedford Forrest considered by some the best Calvary commander of the war
He was , without doubt.
Forrest, John Hunt Morgan, and John Mosby were the 3 best cavalry commanders on the CSA side.
@@stevesither7270 a tactical genius
@@threefiveseven John Mosby never surrendered just resigned his command
Forrest County Mississippi was named after Nathan Bedford Forrest
The tent city is probably tall buildings and concrete now.
My great grandfather was a member of a Tennessee company of calvary that rode with Nathan Bedford Forest. I wonder if he was at this reunion.
One of the coolest videos I've seen in a while! Thanks for posting it!!!!!!
Every last person has left this world.
And their mothers and fathers, grandparents, and gear grandparents….. there are about 7 Billion people living on Earth presently. There are another 100 Billion in graves , in spread ashes, or missing. Let that sink in
So, live life to the fullest every single day !! Today could be your last !
It would be interesting to compare these scenes with their current locations in Jacksonville.
The South will rise again
Thanks for this. Just because they were on the losing side doesn't make them less heroic or to be forgotten. This is wonderful.
We the people have been on the losing side for centuries!
They weren't heroic and they should be shamed for fighting for slavery. They only need to be remembered because of how awful they were.
@@Leftistatthepartyin correctly put. Your Party was responsible for wanting slavery which had been around since before recorded history. It's only our current generation who gets things backwards and more.
@@Leftistattheparty ...snowflake alert!
80 percent of the Confederate army weren't slave owners. They fought against taxes set against them. Get your facts straight or be quiet
Strangely enough not many Stars & Bars.

Wow this is awesome! Im from the South and most of my family wore gray but some wore the blue too. Here in the mtns of East Tennessee and Southwest Virginia it truly was brother against brother. Civil war was also behind the famous mtn feuds like Hatfield and Mccoy in west va & ky and green jones feud in northeast Tennessee
Thanks neighbor, I’m in the same little neck of Appalachia myself out in Unicoi county. Wasn’t a place for the feint of heart in the 1860’s!
Who ever said former Confederates weren't patriotic?
Anyone with a brain.
@@Leftistattheparty 🤣😚
Anyone who’s been taught in public schools for the past 30+ years. Most people around the world gave respect to them for their courage, didn’t matter whether they agreed with their cause.
FDR and Winston Churchill were great admirers of Robert E. Lee.
@@remylofombo5529 I'm descended from Confederate soldiers on my father's side. I agree with you except I think the last 100 years Confederate soldiers have been misaligned...same with the typical German soldier who fought for the "Fatherland" instead of Naziism.
Not patriotic to the USA.
The Confederate flag was a symbol of regional pride.
It's a symbol of Democrat Party pride. Remember, when they BARRED the Republican candidate from being on the ballot and then still lost.
It still is (regardless of Marxist and Z❗️⭕️ propaganda for the last 30+ years). ✊🏾🇦🇺
It also was, and is a symbol of resistance to tyranny. When the Iron Curtain was being toppled one country at a time it appeared carried by the freedom fighters.
😂Also a symbol for pro-slavery traitors
Actually, it was the Confederate army BATTLE flag.
A whole film of vibrant happy ambitious people who are all gone every last one you see here is no longer and look at all that life! Life is but a vapor, a blink of an eye and to the young one's I'll say MAKE IT COUNT
Absolutely fascinating to see film this old 👍
Good morning Chris, Like all Civil War videos! Hows the coming?

Those were the days, where foods companies didn't poison the American people with preservatives and chemicals in food
No, they poisoned you the old fashioned way - salmonella, botulism, and other spoiled food consequences. I agree we can do better, but let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater!
When I was a young boy I asked my grandmother, what did real food taste like. She just smiled and said everything we ate we raised. Without thinking I said you ate like kings and queens. Her smile turned to a stern look. I was 12. Years later she remembered what I had said and agreed with me that said it all. She lived to the age of 92 and I'm sure it was because of real food she always had a garden.
Read The Jungle by Sinclair.
1914 saw Grenville Dodge, former Chief Engineer of UP, still alive, infirm, and two years left. As an "Original Transcon RR" enthusiast, I can recommend a visit to his home in Council Bluffs. Teddy Roosevelt said: "I would like to have lived one of the 6 lives of General Dodge". To stand there on Grenville's front porch after a 2 hour visit, one can imagine carriage-driven Grant, Sherman, and other famous Generals arriving for a visit to the Dodge House...quite a mind-blower to contemplate, 100 plus years on. Thanks for the video.
"Nothing Like it in the World" by Stephen Ambrose mentions Dodge a lot - building of the first transcontinental railroad (Hell on Wheels series is based on this great enterprise)
What explain what is in the home? I regularly pass through Council Bluffs.
Grenville Dodge….Famous Norwich Alumni and engineer. Dodge hall still stands on Norwich’s Upper Parade Grounds to honor him in VT!
There are worse things then losing, or dying for a cause. These people had great Courage.
beautiful thing to say

Incredible film! "Nathan Bedford Forrest (July 13, 1821 - October 29, 1877) was a Confederate States Army general during the American Civil War and later the first Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan from 1867 to 1869."
he also quit the kkk when they started the bull $hit they are known for.
Yup…..
They fought for four years, and suffered terrible conditions……
….just so other people, that they didn’t know…..

My 2 greats grandfather fought in the Union Army of Tennessee, 5th Infantry from 62 to 65. Got the scoop from my grandmother who died in 2013 at 93. I'm 48 now. Time is passing fast.
Anyone notice the lack of lgbtq propaganda painted on the streets or the sides of buildings ? No people dressed as the opposite sex . Only american made flag from both sides usa & csa .

Yeah these guys were brave they lost a war that didn’t need to be fought history repeats itself sometimes I live in Michigan in the town that the troops who caught Jefferson were from and hardly anyone knows about that !
My great great grandfather rode with Forrest. From Lebanon, TN, he was a sergeant. After the war he worked for the L&N Railroad.
It’s sobering that the people commemorating the old folks have also long passed. We’re just a minor blip in history. Their history whoops ours.
Thank you for the film, do you know what year this took place?
I believe this was a
Variety of footage from 1917-1938
Thank you for your videos,
And the history of the south.
Means so much to me.
I’m a 37 year old , Mississippian Girl..
I see so much change.. and sad they changed the flag on us, but we always know the truth.
And keep it in our hearts.. and I have one here ❤️
Thanks for coming along!
Even today, it's still amazing to watch these, especially since all of the vets showed have been gone for many decades; yet, at this time, many were still "relatively" young 🤔 👍😃🇺🇸
Amazing footage!
Any idea why there’s a sign at 8:15 with “Tulsa 1915” on it? Pretty long ways from Florida and most of the CSA around here were Cherokee and Creek.
I’d say it was folks who had travelled to the event that were stumping for a candidate. There were around 40,000 folks who traveled to the area for the reunion, from soldiers to politicians. Hard to say though.
Not one fat person. Not. A. Single. One.
Wonderful footage. Anytime you start to think you’ll live forever just remember that every single person in this video has gone to the great beyond. Have fun, enjoy life, and let’s not support war unless it’s thrust upon us by bad nations. And, let’s find a way to get along together America.
Amen!
Wonderful, thanks for the memory's...
I am so impressed that they are not lost to hatred and old enmities. Everyone wishes to be happy in the moment and they appear to achieve this by remembering the past but letting go of old emotions.
A lesson to us all today!
Did anyone notice the black people waiting on the white men even though they were free.
They had to have work. Something people don’t think about when discussing the emancipation is the fact that a massive population of uneducated, homeless former slaves were turnt out on the country with nothing, no place to live, no way to support themselves. Within a generation welfare became the order of the day in order to support the masses. The depression soon followed and the cycle continues
Apologist Bird dog. Shame.
Only jobs available to support their families.
After WWI, society changed even more due to the killing capacity of the technology. Our mindsets and perspectives now are entirely different-sadly not better, more selfishness, lacking morality and civility!
Wow
Just incredible to compare the scenes with undisclosed locations I have spent time at. Isn’t the first time I’ve seen the ant dance with fly swating claps…😮
Comparing the crowds of people in the streets… um
Ain’t different from the crowds of people in the bizzar… selling a little of this and that. Ah…. The smells of the reality of life before plumbing…
Great times! 😂
Amazing and wonderful that after a brutal Civil War (or War Between the States) former adversaries could come together.
The name of the high school I went to in Jacksonville. Florida was called Nathaniel Bedford Forest High School, and they had to change the name to westside high school a decade or so back, and now it is being shut down because it is a slum.
I love the music!
these guys fought for their home states, towns, and families. Just like every other soldier in any war. Still am glad they lost. And they gave it a good run. In Summer 1914 over in Europe, right when this was filmed, the world was changing forever again!
I see putting flags on your car is an old tradition 😉. Thanks so much to let us see these people:-)
Very cool indeed, BirdDogg!

The older I get the more I value these men.
I never stopped. They were once teenagers with a hard life who saw h*ll, large bullets, canister, arms, legs, feet sawed off & piled up like fire wood.
Nope.

Moving documentary! Many American flags, a true patriotic gathering with no hatred . Only reconnaissance of courage and devotion for a Cause that commands admiration even nowadays. Sad, how the U.S.A have changed in less than a century.
Sad killing your brother for rights or wrongs.
Look the civil war in the US ended in 1865, and this video is from 1914, 40 years later and every person in the civil war was now elderly-nothing to win or fight about then, just enjoy life.
Just think.... What would the North and South veterans back in that time think about the condition of our United States today
The north probably would just sit out
how did that turn into this? what happened?
This amazing! Thank you! 🙏 😊
