They were also used to send out commands like form a line or prepare to fire. Since the battlefield is a loud place, the officer uses the drummers to send out commands. They were an important role in the battlefield
They also used em to keep step so the lines were neat an uniform as well as commands because during a battle you think men can hear ther commanders you'd be wrong noisy very noisy
No matter what side you are on, history must be preserved. Put back the statues, sing the songs and remember the names. Yes indeed, it's history and not hate.
I've done the same thing but with cannons and bagpipes. The early morning mist was around our legs as we marched. Its a load of fun. Civil War reenactments.
@@halo091000 coming to carry your ass in well over half of the production and economic value of the country, as well as the most training camps and military schools.
I think I understand why they use these kind of marching drumbeats in battles. Imagine yourself as the enemy and you hear this in the battlefield. At a distance, it would sound like the march of thousands of soldiers and horses. The mind can play tricks especially when you are fatigued and it will trick you into thinking that the number of enemies is larger than what your camp expected. If we take note what humans mostly fear the most, it would be the fear for the unknown. With that in mind, you as the enemy soldier will truly dread for your life due to the intimidation from your opponent and therefore lose your hope of ever surviving. Plus it is a temporary boost for morale and adrenaline for the allying soldiers especially when they know they are literally marching to their deaths.
I could be wrong but I'm pretty shore war drums were originally used to scare the enemy's horses something is saying to scare elephant in battle too but I could be wrong.
you got to make war as grandiose and purposeful as possible for the chumps fighting it. imagine having to play music while bodies are disemboweled and dismembered for no reason. the soundtrack to your decapitation
I could see this in a dream I had, I could see the long gray column marching down a dusty Virginia road. With the stars and bars and the colors of the 33rd Virginia infantry fluttering in the breeze on a warm summers day. Was I not there, was it not so.
Imagine beeing a young Yankee and it's your first battle. You're in line waiting for Jhonny Rebb to come and through the fog you hear this coming towards you and officers screaming march orders
Imagine marching 20 miles in one day. You've marched right through the sole of your boots, over mud, timber, through rain and snow and sun. You're battle weary and your legs hardly carry your weight. Tired, famished, malnourished and probably stricken with ailment, you march on, your spirits are high and there's a war to win. Hoorah for Dixie! Never forget their bravery and sacrifice.
@@unknown-dq6df well they wanted slaves and started a war. Their called evil cause they wanted to treat other humans like pets or property. They have been seen doing things like healing union wounded tho
@@hahayourmom5894 true, the Stars and Bars wasn't explicitly a flag of racism, nor was the battle flag. But those weren't the only flags of the Confederacy. The second national flag of the Confederacy, the Stainless Banner, was, however, an explicit symbol of racism. To quote one of its two designers, William Tappan Thompson. _"As a people we are fighting to maintain the Heaven-ordained supremacy of the white man over the inferior or colored race; a white flag would thus be emblematical of our cause."_ And to quote him further Thompson disliked the Stars and Bars _"on account of its resemblance to that of the abolition despotism against which we are fighting."_ So to quote yourself, you gotta learn history.
@@DominionSorcerer lets also not forget the KKK, in their rallies you can see them use the confederate battle flag and because they use it, many see it as a racist flag.
I've been to Gettysburg's in the past year . The rebel flag is a call to battle. U can't say a flag is racist. I came here to listen to civil war drum music. Imagine hearing this off in the distance, and the music just keeps getting louder as they get closer
People don't say the flag itself is racist, but what it represents, a nation that both supports and relies on the institution of slavery, is what people say is racist.
@@olivernirenberg3566 you realize the Union had only recently stopped doing that right? And in the following decades would "genocide" the Native Americans. The politicians of the Union didnt care about blacks, they just used them as a good excuse to prevent the South from seceding
@@stopdeletingmyaccount125 The Confederates would be doing the exact same thing to Native Americans as soon as the war ended if they had won. The South may have made treaties early on, but look at, say, Ft. Laramie. The same thing would have happened. The same horrible genocide of thousands of Natives would still occur. Not only that, but Abraham Lincoln, among other prominent pro-Unionist politicians, spoke strongly against slavery before the election of 1860, and he realized that if he continued, he would never be elected and would be divided like the Democratic party.
@@olivernirenberg3566 the flag is a Christian symbol it's only the KKK that used it for hate that South fought for more than just slavery most confederates were fighting for there land
Now imagine you're a Union soldier in line with the rest of the Union. Across the distance you hear this beat. Then it gets louder...louder...louder, then you hear the "YEEEEEE YEYE YE YE YEEEEEHHHHHAAAAYEEEE" of Rebels screaming like hyenas. Thousands of them. I'd shit my pants.
@@madeinAmericasince-rz9cp My ancestor was in the CSA cavalry. I got a picture of him too in his uniform when he was like 16. Holding his revolver and everything. I believe its the 2nd GA Cav. I reenact the Civil War too as a Rebel. Union uniforms cost way more and they're hotter. But us Confederates can basically wear a long sleeve shirt and suspenders and go fucking barefoot if you want. The Brogan shoes are like 80 bucks, so some of us Confederates don't even wear shoes to make it look more real. I wear shoes though cause i'll be damned if i step on a cactus or some shit.
@@madeinAmericasince-rz9cp I got you beat. Imagine having a wasp land on your lip and crawl up your nose and sting the inside of it. I was eating doughnuts as a kid, and i guess it smelled the sugar on my lips. So it flew in, landed, and proceeded to fuck my shit up. I cried cause i was like 7. To this day (im 25) i kill those fuckers if i see one. Bees are cool, but wasps, i become the Terminator.
Ich bin kein US Bürger allerdings fand ich einen Vorfahren meines Familiennamens der als Sageant in der Konförderierten Kavallerie unter Mosby kämpfte..........mit 15 Jahren!!!! God bless Dixie!
John H Murray - 2nd NC Company B - Died around Bristoe Station -9/16/1861. David Brewer - 14 NC Company E - Died at Petersburg - 8/16/1864. I honor my people.
Cole C The British would say the same about Americans no? But They fought for what they believed in. Remember that one day, when someone calls you a traitor for disagreeing or not wanting to be apart of what they are doing. Coming from an America era that’s happening right now.....you may just have to end up choosing a side which neither is right.
" На стене висит в раме выцветший флаг Конфедерации, на столе лежит серебряный револьвер с надписью " Генерал Фут" . ( книга Кэтрин Стокетт "Прислуга") Очень люблю эту книгу и этот фильм!
@@Airland_combat lol, I hope the US dies. We created and facilitated a degenerate society and culture and fight wars forcing people to adopt our degenerate way of life.
@@mibsamali9609 another demonstration of your ignorance. the CSA didn’t “invent” southern pride or heritage. it was just a part of it. my ancestors didn’t just appear out of think air in 1863, fight for the CSA, and make my family tree. the confederacy just happens to be a part of it. it’s not justifying what the CSA did it fought for, it’s literally just pedigree
Приветствую , я из России (живу неподалеку от Санкт-Петербурга). я подросток, и я считаю что генерал Ли - Великий человек и лучше бы южане выиграли в гражданской войне в США если бы так произошло то общество было бы гораздо более нормальное не было бы ЛГБТ , БЛМ феминисток и прочего сброда. Так что удачи вам в жизни друзья Американцы!)
While I do personally think feminism is terrible everything else you said was morally evil on many levels. Before you turn racist actually meet and be friends with gay or black people. You shouldn't be persecuted for being born in a certain group or make assumptions that every person in that group is evil.
@@bandit4741 k then keep in mind the extremely vast majority of southerners didnt really own slaves because they couldnt afford them and many soldiers couldnt even afford shoes.
@@bandit4741 I dont like slavery either but the confederate cause actually had little to do with slavery. Especially since inventions were coming into being that would soon end the need for slaves anyway
@@stopdeletingmyaccount125 no it was slavery it was always slavery, the Vice President Alexander Stevens gave a speech that their new nation was founded on the great truth of racial inequality. So I mean if that’s not about slavery idk what it was for
Imagine living in a town and hearing this coming. Especially if say you were in PA or MD and knew the Confederate Army was coming. No idea if they were just gonna March through, stop and stay, maybe try to buy or just take provisions. And I'm not knocking the South. Same goes for the Union Army marching into or through a southern town. Had to be terrifying for some.
BPM is around 111 if someone was looking Edit: BPM is more like 110. But there are irregular breaks between parts, so These have to be set in right places manually Edit: now I dunno, it's 111 or 110. It just changes D: Edit 3: alright, it’s 100% 111 for somewhere in middle part. Rest have irregular brakes that aren’t helping. If u wanna use it, just repeat 2/3/4 drum patterns from middle
@@majorreb6616 don't you ever. EVER call any damn Canadian a supporter of the confederate states of America. Canada will remain out of your little games. Never will Canada support a stupid thing like that.
@@treysongarner3548 Well are you forgetting that Canada is influenced by the British It was very likely that Britain could have supported the confederacy and invaded America from Canada 🇨🇦
I'm not a southerner but I understand that the confederate flag isn't necessarily a bad thing, it just took a bad turn later on but nothing wrong with some southern pride.
@@DiagonalByte wrong!! it was made by confederate general pgt beauregard my ancestor!! please check out the X dixie banner and the sons of confederate veterans!! good day sir!!
@@TheDonWallzie "Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery, the greatest material interest of this world." sounds to me like they were fighting for slavery.
General Lee's great grandad was born in carrikfurgus, northern ireland, ulster and dixie are closer than i thought, sympathy to the cross of the south from the red hand of ulster
general lee"S farthest ancestry on his father's side was from normandy france ! his ancestor" last name was de la lis =of the lily !!! his ancient coat of arms were likely a fleur de lis on a battle shield ! a symbol of royal birth of the french speaking normans . most likely his ancestor was a cavalry officer dressed as a knight around 1100AD.as for the southern cross banner it was design by my ancestor general pierre gustave toutant beauregard !! who survived the civil war.
@@majorreb6616 The farthest I could see on his fathers side was 1070 which was Fulk FitzWarin , he was from England. Although his wife Hawise de Dinan was from Bretagne France.
@@runnininthe80s84 are you talking about robert e lee? i did not see that on his family tree but perhaps i did fell short back and that you might of gotten extra information that i didn't have on his geneology.
I can see the young men lining up, getting ready, to charge the yankee line of defense, facing down thousands of yankee muskets, many cannons, and going uphill at the same time! I see General Armistead, sword in hand, leading in support of the first wave of Confederates. God bless those brave men, both sides, that fought so bravely and courageously for their respective country that fateful 3rd day at Gettysburg.
