Yankee Doodle and Gerryowen 

Everyone knows the song because it was famously the 7th cavalry marching song but it was actually originally the 69th new yours marching song. And no I’m not being funny with that name it is actually the 69th New York infantry which was entirely made up of Irish immigrants living in New York City and was founded as militia in 1849 and is still used to this day by them because now they are part of the New York State militia

fear the name

I would like to be part of reenancment too and this was posted a couple of months before i was born

It's "She Wore a Yellow Ribbon" that you are thinking, Henry Fonda and John Wayne starred in it.

Its was also adopted by the U.S. Army during the civil war and most famously used by General George Armstrong Custers US 7th Cavalry Division as there marching song.

We are still playing. Many of the same people in the video. It's a way to work on a talent over a whole lifetime!

@@kinggeorgeiii7515 Your Majesty, my humblest apologies. Sire, you are quite correct in reminding me of the other, greatest march.

garryowen is the best

I suppose you never got an answer

Imma answer after 14 years only the ones that I nearly control. The role of the music on the warfare was to high the morale and to mark the compass of the march, they as far as I know weren't involved in combat but were targeted as well because of the role they had (or probably because they sounded like shit)

me too

ME TOO

"The Irish were mainly in the North during the Civil War" Dead wrong. There were more Irish in the South, and they'd been there for well over a century by the time the Civil War began. Oh, you don't think Protestants are 'real' Irish? Keep that sectarian crap out of America.

@@WallStwizkid aka Scot-Irish aka Scottish planters who lived in the north of Ireland. There Scottish stock.

@@L1Lassassin1224 - Yes, my roots are of the Scot-Irish, taken in chains from the low lands to Ireland to fight the Catholics and then in chains again to the Colonies to fight the Indians. They were the backbone of Washington's forces, saved the revolution in the battle of Kings Mountain, were the backbone of Lee's forces and today their descendants are still the backbone of the US military.

@@jimcovington8022 Irish and Scot-Irish are good warriors we have the Celtic madness .

@Celtic 'King' - You know very little Irish-American history. The so-called 'Scotch-Irish' were a minority percentage of 18th Century Irish arrivals to British America (less than 40%). Half of these migrants came from the Southern provinces of the island, and most were originally Catholic. There are complicated reasons why these Catholic emigrants converted to the various Protestant denominations, having to do with processes of assimilation and the lack of RC churches outside of Maryland at this time. As a genealogist I can assure you that most of the Old Stock Irish Protestants were not of "Scottish stock".

hollywoodwerewolf yes

jesusboii77 Wut i can't understand you.

jesusboii77 Dixie is better

History seems to disagree with your statement.

The Yankees completely destroyed the South. Also I bet you ignore the West where the Yankees steamrolled the rebs in pretty much every battle.

Hahahahahahahaha! You lost! Hahahahahahahahahahaha!

Die Trommel schlug zum Streite... Ei warum? Ei darum! Ei bloß wegen dem Schingderassa Bumderassa-sa!
