My 4th great grandfather was in the 29th. He was from Ireland 🇮🇪 his name was Corporal Thomas Brady !

I wonder has anyone done any work on Westmeath people in the American Civil war? Maybe I should do it myself. (Patrick Hussey is my name). I had a great grand Uncle who fought in the American Civil war. Christopher Hussey was his name. He arrived into New York in 1851, ended up going to Virginia in 1853 to work on the railways and in 1861 he became a private in the ‘Virginia Hibernians’ which became company B of the 27th Virginia Infantry (in the Stonewall brigade). He fought until 1863 when he died of heart disease near Winchester. His brother Patrick back in Westmeath was my great grandfather.

I'm all for recreating battles but it should not be on Hallowed Ground

Disgusting! When will Irish nationalists stop eulogising murderers?

I have read alot of books about Civil War battles & campaigns. The horrors that those men witnessed, lived and died through are just hard to fathom. Of all the battles though I have to say IMO the most horrific from the accounts has to be Spotsylvania in May 1864.

You missed the point. The commander who made the 69th the immortal brigade that it is was Thomas Francis Meagher. I encourage you to read The Immortal Irishman by Timothy Egan.

At Fredericksburg it was Irish on both sides of the Stone Wall.

I'm sure you know that half of Custer's men killed at Little Bighorn were Irish.

The 8 bells referred to in the Thanksgiving dinner on ship would have been 4 PM. A ship would have one cook and 2 or 3 assistant cooks depending on the crew size. Each individual mess would have a mess cook to help the ships cook fix the portions for his mess.

Christmas Trees gained in popularity among the non German population after Prince Albert had one put up in Buckingham palace. But there were many German immigrants in the US previous to that event.

Thanks Damian and Brendan. I really enjoyed this new format. And look forward to further regular episodes. Happy Xmas to you both

Well done. You might also mention that because of Fredericksburg there were no serious consequences against the Irish for the terrible actions during the Draft Riots the following July. Only because everyone knew of their bravery the previous December.

this is so good, fascinating. I recently found a claim from an ancestor for the pension from her husband. Anyway, I'll have to show this to my children.

Have you any information on soldiers from Carrick-on-Shannon/ Co. Leitrim? Are pay records available?

0:14 If you look to the flag bearers right (our left) you can see somebody in the back fall! Sorry to point it out but it gave me a good laugh. That was probably pretty common to see back then.

Brilliant thanks for sharing keep up the great work 👍🏻☘️

I've only just stumbled across this video as I've been investigating our family history. Thank you for covering this so thoroughly, it's so interesting! The monument in Ballybricken for Patrick Clooney was restored in the 80's by my Great Grandad Tommy Clooney. I have old photos he kept of some kind of ceremony held in Ballybricken but my knowledge is very limited on this. My grandmother was also gifted a painting from America as one of the remaining descendants of Clooney.

Absolutely brilliant Thank you.

Great video watched in America😀 My Mum is from Midleton and her family has been there for ages. Great history to know of the bravery and historical significance in Ireland’s freedom from the Throne!

Great video. Fair play

Thank you for making this video. My grand uncle was Maurice Moore from Cobh.

Fantastic 😍💋 💝💖♥️❤️

This is brilliant, great work thanks

Amazing piece. Where did you find the old newspaper articles from the time? Sad that we Irish have such a connection with the US Civil War but are never really though about it. I remember back to school and I think we had maybe 2-3 pages max. on the war in our Junior cert. history books (this was mid 90s), then for Leaving Cert. it was all Irish and European history.

GOD BLESS YOU BROTHERS,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

In the real battle at the time, every man in that company would be dead in a matter of minutes.

Our current Congress needs to sit and read this in open session so they never forget what America is all about not they’re socialist bullcrap

Thank you for this presentation and intriguing story! Fascinating history of the Irish people.

Absolutely brilliant presentation of our diaspora in the American Civil War. Thank you. Good and bad as you would expect but rarely reported

The song was For All the Saints.

This is amazing! Are you also from Ireland?

What is this song? Love it

Fascinating lecture. My maternal grandparents were from Waterford. They were from Dungarvan and Cool na Smear. My cousins still live there.

Who is Saunders field name for? Where would one look for Irish Immigrants to Canada in 1832 i. e. before the famine?

Damian, thanks. You really are the champion of the Irish in the American Civil War. Look forward to more videos and dare I say it a movie!

Running with fixed bayonets?
