President Returns Confederate Flags (The Civil War Diaries S4E26) 

Back when real heroes marched in parades today we have Pride parades

American history should not be forgotten ❤

Calvin Coolidge, one of the most underappreciated presidents ever.

The things these men did and saw in their lifetime is amazing...

Bird Dog, the work that you do is so important to keep objective, empirical (real and true) history alive. So many today are trying to change US history, or are changing history.

Silent Cal was the GOAT. A peacekeeper, champion of civil rights, small government, free markets, and refused to run for a second term because ten years in office was too long. There will never be another like him as president.

My G-G-G Grandfather died in service for that flag and the Confederacy. God Bless him for his service and sacrifice.

​ This is how you heal the wounds from the Civil War.

...when the blood flows together...wounds heal. Since 1952 Federal Law requires Confederate Soldiers, and their families receive the same consideration as Union Soldiers. They are all Americans.

You always have the best original footage.

Deo Vindice.. "Well Govan, if we are to die, then let us die like men." Gen Patrick Cleburne at Franklin, TN

The flag is a resemblance of the Saint Andrew's Cross. 13 stars for 13 states

Magnanimity by those who succeed and by those who fail is a forgotten trait of civility .

So glad to see these preserved films❤

lest we forget. thank you

A step back in time when ordinary people actually, were sober, acted civilized, and dressed up to attend a public event. Even the horses in the parade appeared happy. My, my, how things have changed.

Well done .

That was so cool! Thank you!🇸🇴

The heartbeat of Our Cause still is felt in those of us with deep roots in The South and who had great and great great grandfathers who bravely gave their life or their blood to protect the rights of our States. Their legacies live on as well as those of the women who endured many hardships during the war and reconstruction. We may have lost the war but never our dignity, pride and will to survive! - GG Grandson of William Chance , CO I , 6th GA Infantry

Trying to bring the country back together instead of pulling us apart, like our great Zombie in Chief!

Very Well done President Coolidge!

It's the right thing to do, after all they are Americans too.... just because the history has been compromised doesn't mean you can't find the truth Dixie will have her turn.... soon! I have flown my 3rd national for years and HOA decided one day, I couldn't ...there was a meeting and this one is for Dixie... . I won...simply tell the true story it's a historical memorial flag...the blood bar makes it so. Victory for Dixie.

My most sincere THANK YOU to BIRD DOG for showing these outstandingly Brave and Honorable Sons Of The South! These Men and Women were hero's in every sense of the word. We will never forget them, and always honor them!

Thank you Mr BD for sharing this video. Its beautiful.

Both sides did this as respect and heal from the war

Great stuff!

Coolidge is a very underrated president who isnt spoken about much. A Massachusetts man at that. Great president he was, one that people should look to want to have again.

Thanks for sharing Chris -

the older guys trying to stay still for the picture is amusing...thanx dog

You can never do more than your duty; you shall never wish to do less. These men fought to defend their homeland and fulfilled their duty to their families and countrymen who were invaded upon. May God bless them now and forever.

This film was a miracle to still have. And I was able to witness this👍💥thank you

Thank you for posting. It’s amazing to see the men of that great generation on the screen like this.

What those gentlemen saw in their lifetimes was nothing short of amazing and miraculous. From horse and buggy to automobiles driving down Pennsylvania Avenue. Glorious times, indeed.

That must have been a proud and moving experience for those elderly heroes. Would suspect that many were remembering those of their old Units who did not survive the terrible conflict...

Outstanding as always brother! Keep the faith

Great film, sadly non PC today as 'they' tear down the statues and alike as the woke march continues!

❤ Thanks from old New Orleans 😇 !

To paraphrase General Grant. They fought valiantly and courageously. However, for a cause, that was the one the worst a man could fight for.

We were not beaten - we were just out numbered

Nice! Some footage I've never seen before

Glad we are able to see the battle flags in museums and they are not stored away in a warehouse never to be seen again

Amazing to see this, especially a colorized version!👍😃🇺🇸

Really interesting and great music choice.

Sensational. That was Gold.Love from Australia.

God bless! Thanks for the memories.

Floyd the barber was always quoting the former president. Andy disagreed with one quote telling Floyd that "Calvin Coolidge didn't say everything"😂

❤ every time I watch a video of yours make me proud to be a southerner God save the South from North Carolina CSA forever

Just imagine a ceremony like this today. We wouldn't hear the end of it

Meanwhile back in Glasgow Scotland my father was being born on that very day.

Love this channel

The stories they could tell......

You can see how chivalrously the veterans made their peace with each other. And how naturally they treated the flag. When you see how this symbol is being dragged through the mud by do-gooders in our time, you feel different. The distortions of history that are being presented to the population today are disgraceful. What would the old veterans on both sides have said about this? It would have been a shock.

The horse dance at 4:50 with that music 🎵 was perfect.

I've noticed in these videos that the common theme is former enemies in their old age come to the realization that war is futile. You see this with all veterans in their twilight years. Few of them harbor the hatred they once had for their counterpart across the battlefield

What a great treasure it would be to have a original confederate battle flag. I have seen videos of preserved confederate flags in glass case's. Great history.

Awesome!

thank you

What a blessing to be able to watch our heroic Confederate veterans who fought in the War for Southern Independence. The fact that we have images of brave men who served their cause in a conflict that ended in 1865 is amazing.

As Jonathon Suption said, destroying statues is irrational and absurd

This brought tears, to my eyes, seeing these GRAND,BRAVE OLD MEN,with CONVICTIONS SO STRONG, they FOUGHT AND (DIED), for them ! GOD BLESS DIXIE. (Got a feelin,some of (MY) FAMILY,are among them), along with 11 / 12,000 other, "AUSSIES", who FOUGHT and DIED there ! 🥺😖😫⛺🐴🏅📯🎺⚰🇦🇺

Ahh to get my hands on a 1st Texas flag ....

What is the name of the tune playing in the background?? I used to know but cannot think of it??? BB

God bless dixie from some alabamas and mississippians transplanted in north , blood runs with stars and bars forever

DEO VINDICE DIXIE FOREVER...❤

I love these proud and courageous heroes. They fought to try and protect our southern land, from being destroyed and taken, by an invading enemy. They knew they were vastly outnumbered, and that all the cards were stacked against them. Yet they fought anyway. They held out for four long and brutal years, against an enemy that had every single advantage over them. Including a seemingly neverending supply of men to fight. Along with a seemingly limitless amount of food, supplies and weaponry. Today, these brave and honorable men, are being slandered, and called evil monsters, and every child from day one of starting school, is being bombarded with the lie, that these men were fighting to keep slaves in bondage. Which they are easily buyinh into. Then they are trying to destroy every single bit of history, so that nothing remains, that might have a chance of making any of these young people, second guess what they are being taught. Its disgusting, and Im completely ashamed of how many of us southerners especially, who have sat back, and done nothing to stop this! God bless the memory of each and every single one of these men, who went and fought to protect their families and their homeland. Im not talking about the very small percentage of them, who's goal was to protect slavery. That should be a given.

Dixie is to be remembered with honor.

Your videos have become my go-to when I need a dose of positivity. Thank you for consistently brightening my day.

Incredible Historical Examples Beautiful Preserved Material Some Misinterpretation because of It But Ultimately a Better outcome in the longrun Thank You Also … What The Hell Is Dio Vendice?

Well at least they weren't sitting on their butts like the modern era

God bless Dixie!!! From NC and Virginia

To think President Coolidge was a conservative from Vermont, he was also the governor of Massachusetts before running as Warren Harding's VP in 1920.A true Yankee!Times have changed for sure.

Red legs?yeah.We're going north to put things right...well I guess I'll be going with ya.

God bless Dixie and General Robert E Lee....

Love it

God bless Dixie and the Confederacy our Southern heritage 🤠

Should never be repeated

Those are American flags too like the colonial ones that preceded the Stars 'n Stripes. Dixie has its own flag for 11 States +4. Other regions , the West, Midewest, Northeast, New England are just as identifiable and distinct but do not have a unique banner of their own.

HUZZAH TO PRESIDENT CALVIN COOLIDGE!!! HUZZAH TO JOHNNY REB!!! And great clip by the way, very well put together, the music really added to it. HUZZAH TO BIRDDOGG!!!

Proud of my Virginia roots

These men fought for their homes and families not for slavery as they try to make it today. The North invaded the south and it was not against the constitution to succeed. In fact if the government became tyrannical, it was their duty. Brave confederate heros and should be honored for their courage and dedication. The idea of Federal Government then was a secondary thing it was the state that was THEIR COUNTRY. States rights a key element without federal intervention and heavy taxes against the agricultural South.

Bet this gripes you Libs.

Who would have ever thought that these old films still existed? I really like the song - does anyone know the name of the song?

I enjoy this music

Respect all Americans who fought for their home. Today people are so uneducated, ignorant, and are limited to only social media education. It’s insane people can’t just pick a history book and see over 70% of southerners were not slave owners and fought for patriotism. Also that the Union had slavery legal and had 8 slave states in 1864. Hypocrisy and ignorance

"The Gettysburg speech is at once the shortest and the most famous oration in American history. Put beside it, all the whoopings of the Websters, Sumners and Everetts seem gaudy and silly. It is eloquence brought to a pellucid and almost child-like perfection-the highest emotion reduced to one graceful and irresistible gesture. Nothing else precisely like it is to be found in the whole range of oratory. Lincoln himself never even remotely approached it. It is genuinely stupendous. But let us not forget that it is oratory, not logic; beauty, not sense. Think of the argument in it! Put it into the cold words of everyday! The doctrine is simply this: that the Union soldiers who died at Gettysburg sacrificed their lives to the cause of self-determination - “that government of the people, by the people, for the people,” should not perish from the earth. It is difficult to imagine anything more untrue. The Union soldiers in that battle actually fought against self-determination; it was the Confederates who fought for the right of their people to govern themselves. What was the practical effect of the battle of Gettysburg? What else than the destruction of the old sovereignty of the States, i. e., of the people of the States? The Confederates went into battle an absolutely free people; they came out with their freedom subject to the supervision and vote of the rest of the country-and for nearly twenty years that vote was so effective that they enjoyed scarcely any freedom at all. Am I the first American to note the fundamental nonsensicality of the Gettysburg address? If so, I plead my aesthetic joy in it in amelioration of the sacrilege." H L Mencken

They took down the Georgia flag at night without my vote. 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕

Rest easy, Soldiers of the South

Back when you're friends and neighbors knew that certain things are just the way it was all people are the same even if they fought for the wrong side of cause. These people who are involved in wars especially the grunts on the ground are just doing what is best for the family at the time. Better to fight and keep your family alive than to disobey and have your family murdered and you getting shot for not complying to the big army or people in charge. Being dead and having no family or being maimed and no family is worse than not complying and fighting and serving with dignity so your family can live there lives healthier than if you don't. Everyone has had this in place in the countries of the world if you believe it or not. The Germans, Russians, French, British, and even the United States to a lesser extent but never the less bottom line is you are going to serve if they want you to, you are not going to have a choice and if you get one it will not be to your liking guaranteed that to be a fact. Even our government is known to make people disappear and never be ever again for anything that they see fit to do so. Great evening to you all and remember that I didn't mention that another 20+ countries are on this list. Not every nation has our special rights and freedoms to be able to speak up, lobby against or for things and especially the big and best one the second amendment that preserves all the rest and the Constitution of the nation that the rest of the world wish that they have

The war of northern greed.

God save the south! Deo Vindice

❤

From the American Revolution to the Civil War and now what? It appears all is forgiven until the next battle coming up.

Outstanding!! Wish I could shake each one of Thier hands! Hail to the Redskins! Carry on Dixie!!

God Bless the South Dio Vindice!

The war in 1861-1865 was only round 1. An overreaching federal government will not last forever. We all applauded when the Soviet Union fragmented. There is no reason to think it can’t happen here.

always a dang goodun !

Heritage! Not hate

God bless Dixie

I wish I lived in that America.

He got some votes. 😂
