No but they actually escaped to Brazil search it up

And to the Post-Mamluk Sultanate of Egypt:

Germans escape to Argentina Confederates escape to brazil

That's cool. Had no idea Egypt of all places knew what was happening

A movie should be made about him and his band of veterans..

what a great story , is the book available ??

Patton kept getting defeated by an under funded and poorly staffed force in North Africa

Yes. Mosley was a great influence on Patton.

Your family owns Black people REPARATIONS for 250 years of no pay...

🎯🎯🎯

Patton's grandfather (George S. Patton) was a Colonel in the 22nd Virginia Infantry Regiment who died in September 1864 at the Third Battle of Winchester.

He'd be shocked at how racist people still are.

Respect to your great great grandfather. The hell experienced as a prisoner at Andersonville is incomprehensible to most people alive today. It’s a miracle that anyone survived the conditions there.

Yes a lot of Men coming to America gun's were thrust into their hands with the promise of citizenship if they served the Union. Discussting if you ask me!

Didn't they just go home???? Are is it surprisingly more complex and a story about bravery,betrayal, and sacrifice?

A lot of them made a life in the United States

A lot of them stayed in the USA. It's a common backstory for the last name "Hess".

I’m just guessing but I believe 1/3 went back to the HRE, 1/4 stayed, and the rest died in combat or disease.

Frederick County in MD was settled by former Hessian Mercenaries after the war as there was a strong population of German immigrants there

Never let Americans settle on your empty territory. They’ll start revolution and take it with them.

Also by this point Mexico was about to win it civil war thank to supply and support from the united state

Mighty fine sounds more southern

Don't forget Brazil, as there is town in Brazil that worship the confederates because so many confederates went there.

@@waffle6376 And they got kicked out after the French were forced to retreat so they could lose against the Prussians, even the anti-Liberal forces hated the Confederate settlers.

@@pierrerochon7271he never mentioned him owning slaves. Most people didn’t. Weird assumption.

There was one incorrect thing I noticed in this video. When talking about the readmission of former Confederate states to the Union, the animation showed a number of flags, including Tennessee's. In fact, Tennessee was the only seceding state to be readmitted before the Civil War was over (after being effectively occupied in 1864). That meant it did not go through the process of Reconstruction with the other ten that did..

​​@@mrbigstufableou're a jerk, you know that. If you think all confederates were racist, slave owners or awful people your wrong. Not everyone in the south owned slaves. My family is from Alabama and we were always too poor to own slaves.

He was so real for that

Very similar to my own great, great grandfather’s story. Member of the MS 41st Regiment, captured at Chickamauga, sent to Ft. Douglas, refused to sign, and walked home to North MS. He was a farmer and went back to farming after it was all over.

Lol.

@@DaBeezKneez Exactly my point, life goes on.

My Parents knew some too. One of them was my G. Granpa. He was wounded and captured at the Ft. Fisher battle and sent to pt lookout Maryland until he was released 2 months after the war…

I'm Facebook friends with a woman whose great-uncle was in the Battle of Little Big Horn on the Reno Hill defense site. She remembers her Uncle Charlie well. There's also a RU-vid video with audio recorded with one of the buglers who was in the Charge of the Light Brigade playing the Charge! call on the instrument he used that day. Amazing.

Met them at a Klan.meeting no doubt

More time has now past from the end of WWII than what separates that war from the Civil War.

My dad had a neighbor who was a union veteran. The guy even went to talk to my dad's 1st grade class. This would have been around 1940. The veteran was in his 90's. You are right it was not that long ago.

Mosby was one of the handful (literally you could probably count them on your hands) of ex-Confederates who was actually honest about the war being about slavery and criticized the Lost Cause myth going around.

That's the reason they're my favorite figures of the Civil War: superb soldiers during the war, exceptional men of character after it.

@@pyro104everAmen!

Grant went to West Point with several Southern Generals in the Confederate Army. He was a fair and understanding solider. He did not want punishment for the South. Southerners could not vote after the war so the Northerners moved South to benefit from Reconstruction. KKK was response to their corruption. Later the (KKK) was taken over by violent faction of the population. Mosby was a great tactician. Don't know if Mosby owned slaves. Fascinating stories of the civil war. Poor Sherman got shipped off to the wild West. Only 10-14% of Southern soldiers owned slaves. That tells me, like most wars, the rich benefit and the average Joe does the fighting. Only good thing about the Civil War was freeing of slaves.

@@williambryson8894 The KKK was made up of largely “average joes” who were angry at black people getting rights.

Greek perspective would be interesting too, since there was a national schism that split the country in 2 for a bit.

I second this.

Or an irish/estonian perspective 👉👈🥺

Bulgarian perspective would be fire

@@extantfellow46so true

Yeah, Johnson was a jackass. From what I'm told, he despised the South for how they treated him when he was growing up.

The Federal Congress had the right to enforce the three post war reconstruction amendments, the right of blacks (and whites) to vote regardless of race, the right to enforce equal rights before the law, and the end of slavery and involuntary servitude, and had the original right in the 1789 constitution to enforce republican government, which could have been used for such good. The Congress also had the right to define judicial authority in case the Supreme Court ever tried to pull off another Dredd Scott a second time, and remember that the Supreme Court had literally applied judicial review to acts of congress to declare them void on two instances up to that point, Marbury vs Madison and Dredd Scott itself, so that was hardly a strong precedent that courts could void federal laws like that. And the Congress could also have worded their amendments to provide for more universal suffrage, simply declaring that no qualifications be added to voting besides being a citizen as the 14th amendment defines it who was 21 or older, and at the time, being a male, to preclude anything like the disenfranchisement laws that would come to be passed.

Indeed. With the failure of Reconstruction, the old oligarchic political system inherited from slavery maintained its strength in the South well into the 20th century, holding the region back socially, politically, and economically.

@@souvikrc4499 The Tsar abolished serfdom, the South created serfdom.

The US would have been ahead of 100 years and so many problems would have been avoided. No terrorist organizations such as the Klan, no poor and illiterate blacks fleeing northward and reviving segregationist sentiments in northern cities, no ghettoes, no red lining and no crack epidemic.

​@@DingusTheArtistor in this case both of them

@@thomasdubbeldeman3864 I'm willing to bet that one of us is here only because of that lol.

Went back home and built a society with bricks of racism.

There are very few generals from the south who came to Egypt after the war, and usually again, they were there to work and not to reside in Egypt. They returned when Egypt later failed to pay their salaries.

I’m surprised that the confederate Lieutenant’s that went to Brazil Didn’t also Hide in the part of Argentina where I heard that Hitler actually Hide Decades after he lost The War in WW2 in Germany 🇩🇪!

And started chummy clubs like the KKK and terrorized and lynched former slaves.

The confederates even created a city here in Brazil: Americana, in the state of São Paulo. U.S. descendency is big in Parnamirim, a city in the metro region of Natal in the state of Rio Grande do Norte. This second city was a base for Navy vessels in the second world war. It's one of the closest points to Europe in the american continent

Longstreet was blind drunk at the battle of liberty place if he hadn't been drunk he couldve convinced his former troops to stand down.

And the 1873 Colfax massacre that created the white leagues that resulted in the various election massacres throughout the south

God the comment sections on those will be filled with the brain damaged history deniers. I would love that

In light of recent events, the government should have followed through with 40 acres and a mule. As it stands, reparations are still owed, and will come at a much higher cost. They had another opportunity with the homestead act. Yet again, the US government failed black citizens. They allowed foreign immigrants to settle millions of acres, while blacks were prohibited. Then yet again, black WW2 soldiers were refused the GI Bill.

@@Al-Rudigor Do it. Give blacks huge sums in reparations. See what happens. Dave Chappelle knew.

I often wonder if any rebel descendants have artifacts (that are super rare) from the confederate army😊

Amazing story. Especially the end 😊

And despite Longstreet's "defection" to the Republican Party after the war, he later reconciled with his old comrades, even embracing with his post-war rival Jefferson Davis at a ceremony in Atlanta in 1886.

Longstreet was a scapegoat for Lee's shortcomings at Gettysburg.

Also completely glossed over why Nathan Bedford Forrest joined the kkk, why over 50,000 joined the kkk. Because it was to be a militia to protect southerners during occupation. The union troops had an order to please themselves to anything they wanted. Also Nathan became a major civil rights activist. Propaganda is not good. “Abolish the Loyal League and the Ku Klux Klan; let us stand together. We may differ in color, but not in sentiment. Many things have been said about me which are wrong, and which white and black persons here, who stood by me through the war, can contradict.” - Nathan Bedford Forrest

Ah, so the lesson to be learned is that Lee was honorable? And so what? He was still a monster who fought to uphold a system that trampled on the rights of almost ten million people. He killed thousands in the protection of slavery. Lee is not a man to be spoken fondly of. He should've been shot.

@@lewisjennings9043they didn’t reconcile… Pendleton and Early blamed Longstreet to there dying day. They didn’t even include him reunions.

Festa Dos Confederados

It's because us South Americans have more in common with the Southerners than the Yankees.

I'm not sure how I'd feel if I was a safe haven for confederates and even worse, Nazis. Well their ideologies mostly died out and got replaced with football and big butt obsessions so I got no problems with Brazil.

@@awfan221 Both ideologies never got widespread roots in my country: confederates came here because of slavery still being practiced until 1888 and the nazi came because of Vargas's facists tendencies. Soccer is a "religion" for many Brazilians and people tend to be sensual in my country.

Thankfully their actual racist attitudes seem to be dying out. As a fellow Brazilian I was surprised to see black and mixed race people celebrating the Festa dos Confederados

But your people still had more rights than blacks. Being poor doesn’t take away from the fact the your family was still privileged in other ways.

@@cedricnicholson7446 People like you really shouldn't be talking at all. Like AT ALL.

@@redline1916 Thank you!!!

@@cedricnicholson7446 I guess if you consider having to raise your own garden and animals in order to feed your family. They used an out house. Have you ever used one? I have many times. Not sure how privileged that is. Before my family came to the US they were slaves overseas. And the women were beaten and raped regularly. I guess we were privileged enough to know we didn’t want to own slaves because they had already experienced it themselves.

⁠@@redline1916why? Who would you rather be in the mid 1800s? A white sharecropper or a black slave?

Similarly, after WWII, no one in Austria had supported Hitler, the Nazis, or Anschluß.

Not sure the exact percentage, but the vast majority of Confederate troops did not own many if any slaves. Slave holdings could grant exemption from service in fact. This sadly is forgotten by many. Most Southern didn’t care about slavery but being abused and told what to do, as well as Northern industrialists trying to buy and destroy their land (ironic as that’s what happened after the war).

Didn’t own but fought for his masters to keep slaves

​@@plymouth491funny how that works, suddenly no one was even aware about what they were fighting for or what their government is doing when the yanks show up

@@weirdshitcoolideas It's been the same for millennia. The elite start a war over an issue that affects them, and then through propaganda, threats, or brainwashing get the little man to fight their wars for them. Not defending slavery, but the southern soldier was told it was about state's rights, and that they were superior. This is a common tactic for governments to use. History repeats itself all the time.

I actually saw a documentary on them. It was so weird to watch it.

@@gregme5601 Jimmy Carter paid a visit to the area during the festival when he was president. He said they speak Portuguese with a perfect deep Southern Accent.

They're aware of their ancestry but they've modernized and aren't bad folks. Just like the German enclaves in Brazil, yes most are descended from Nazis but they're not responsible for what their family members did. Sometimes people need to accept that the world has changed and stop focusing on the past and actually learn from it.

@rwdyeriii Brazil's banned Confederate symbols lol, they're government is literally run by a Marxist

@@rwdyeriii i mean just about anywhere in south america they're not dealing with this crap.

it was a war over states rights to enslave stop trying to be antithetical

@@greatgrungustwo904 That was too a reason but it started with the cotton

@@Oscar-ws3mf it was the main reason, and the starting reason

Slavery was what the south seceded over.

@@Oscar-ws3mfyou’re just wrong dude.

And the robberies of wealthy sountern landowners during " Reconstruction" which was really a great " Reset" what the govt is trying now to give White Southerners Belongings to illegal immigrants.

The total destruction of their land and property didn’t help

Thank God for small favors

And this would have been the perfect time to defeat everyone...you better thanks God black soilders wasn't on that

@@koryburdet1317 There have been black soldiers since the Revolutionary War. Look up Newport, Rhode Island 1st Regiment. And what do you mean by "defeat everyone"?

Thank you for pointing that out, although many will simply dismiss it because it is simpler to believe the surrender was a one and done. Kind of like celebrating June 16th as the end of slavery, although slavery continued for months afterward in certain states. History is never as clean as we remember it.

@@MICHAEL-vy3ch Juneteeth is a complete myth and total nonsense. The Emancipation Proclamation was mlitary measure issued under Lincoln's war powers. We know this because the document says so. In addition it only applied in areas the North did not control, even going to far as to list certain exempt areas in Southern states by county. The War was ended by Kirby-Smith's surrender prior to General Taylor showing up in Texas. Therefore, the North controlled the Transmississippi including Texas when Taylor showed up and the EP would not have applied, even assuming the EP had any validity when The War ended. Stand Watte surrendered in Oklahoma the following June, but OK was not state of the USA until 1907. It was never a Confederate state so far as I ever discovered. Wattie was Cherokee Indian and not exactly a regular soldier in the Confederate Army. In addition Lincoln slapped down Freemont for declaring all slaves free in Missouri during mid 1862 because as a soldier he had no authority to free anyone. Taylor was a West Pointer, not a political general and former lawyer as many of them were, so he would not have had a clue that he had no authority to free anyone, especially based upon a document that had no force and effect once The War ended and never applied at any time to areas under Northern control. There was also a question as to whether the EP was valid at all since it changed the definition of private property. Stephens brought that up to Lincoln at the City Point Peace Conference during February, 1865. Lincoln said that after The War the US Sup Ct could sort it out. Lincoln wanted to issue the EP earlier in the year in 1862 but Seward told him to wait for a battlefield victory so it would not look like a desperation move. The cabinet then laughed that Lincoln "freed the slaves where he had no authority to do so (the areas under "rebelion") but did not where he did have authority to do it (in the Border States). The EP was Lincoln's Hail Mary pass designed to disrupt the manpower situation of the South. Slavery ended during December 1865 when the 13th Amendment was ratified. Kentucky, which fought for the North and where slavery was legal, did not ratify the 13th Amendment until 1976, (NOT 1876). As for the Amendments, the 13th freed the former slaves, the 14th made them citizens, and the 15th gave them the right to vote. The Due Process language in the 14th Amendment was used during the mid 1900s to apply to numerous matters for which it was never intended. That is why US Sup Ct Justice Clarence Thomas recently made reference to reviewing such cases. As for Juneteenth, if anyone wants to celebrate the end of slavery and have a holiday for that, go have at it. But making up nonsense and creating a national holiday for something based on a non understanding of the facts and legal concepts is ridiculous. Have your holiday in December where it belongs. It also strikes me that we now have a holiday based on one part of the country opposing the other. That does not sound very inclusive to me. We also somehow conviently forget that every Confederate had his US citizenship returned to him, with the exception of Jefferson Davis.

But Josey Wales never surrender😂

@@jslade60 You must be a honors graduate of the public schools. Congratulations.

They still lost. period. The Army of Northern Virginia was the backbone of the Confederacy`s military. and what happens if you break somebody`s backbone? Right, he`s crippled and at your mercy.

The revolutionary war in 1776 was against an actual tyrant who was purposely making judicial cases difficult for the colonies, over taxing, killing colonists, and purposely gave the colonies no political representation. The slave holders rebellion in 1860, the south was over represented in politics, paid less than 10% of the nations taxes and violently rebelled in an attempt to ensure African chattel slavery persisted.

We must always remember but never justify such evil and always remember that while the government committed evil. the generals like Lee and Jackson and the men fighting under them should be looked at honorable and with respect

@@TexasNationalist1836 The generals like Lee and Jackson fought to justify those evils. So how can they be considered honorable?

@@TexasNationalist1836Yeah, I’m not giving any respect to traitors.

​@@TexasNationalist1836commiting treason to fight for slavery is not as honourable as you think.

@@TexasNationalist1836 I understand and respect someone fighting for a good cause, or for his county, but sadly many Confederate soldiers were duped by their leaders who just wanted to preserve the institution of slavery. There was no threat to the way of life for the average southerner, yet they saw it as such, and I hope lessons have been learned

God bless them all.

As per the Primary Source of the U.S. federal Census of 1860--just before The War of Northern Aggression was commenced in 1861, Mississippi was NOT the poorest State in America (as it has been since 1865), but the richest--with a per capita income of $2200 per annum--over twice that of the nearest yankee state of Connecticut (~$980) and three times that of New York State (~$690), which of course definitively confirms that UNNECESSARY war was for Power, Control and Money--NOT to help black folk, slave or free!! (As are most all wars of this Planet Pathos [aka Planet Earth].) I am a 7th Generation native Mississippian materially. Read the definitive classic best-seller "The South Was Right!" [1994, Kennedy & Kennedy]

I have a feeling 2024 will be a historic year! 😄

Yeah...real similar to the mass burning of blacks alive in New York City during the war-time draft riots.

Indeed, but unfortunately for these crowds details and nuances are not available as options. Silverlining says "slavery" that's what it is then.

TRUE- UPDATE - STILL DOWNPLAY VIOLENCE AGAINST BLACKS- Meet the new south - SAME as the old south!!

Yeah seriously weird how "historinians" want to sweep how truly awful things were. As a Canadian who's interested in that time period it's quite obvious the "northern narrative" was just used to justify an absolutely pointless and stupid war. The reality is the civil war was absurdly unnecessary good old economics would have removed slavery from the equation within a generation. The way slavery ended, meant white southerners had an intense resentment of blacks. So they were freed and in the same day they were instantly the occupying "force" of their enemy. If slavery was wiped out using good old fashioned capitalism(it was almost everywhere else), there would have been a much much better path to integration. The civil war literally made things much worst, was one of the stupidest wars in history.

Yeah lets just continue the human traficking until capitalism makes it go away. Because all the capitalism in the world theres no such thing as human traficking today! Thank god for capitalism! Solomon northup was just a corrupt Northern propagandist liar! ​@@dixonhill1108
