I'm pretty sure hand grenades are much older since the british have a song from the revolutionary war called "british grenadiers" and even the ancient Chinese had hand grenades as old as 850ad!
@@fishin_da_hood5020 grenades and and grenadiers have been around a long time since the pike and shot era. They looked more like cartoon bombs as they were basically explosive cannonballs with fuses that soldier would light and throw at enemy lines. That grenade however is the first one that didn't have to be lit using a fuse. Love dragon man but he's not very historically accurate and is heavily biased towards the American perspective of things
My one of my best friends moved to Colorado Springs a few years ago from Southern California. I was going to go visit him but this Covid-19 stuff started happening. I told him the first thing I wanted to go see was your museum if it wasn’t far. He knew exactly what I was talking about too which was cool. I still hope to go there soon because your collection is amazing!
CUSTER HAD IT COMING!!!! ayyyyy no but for real though you’re museum is amazing, and when I join the Marines you can expect to get a new uniform if I make it back.
I thank you Dragonman for your service to our country. Our country should be honored to have someone like you that has the most amazing historical museum and it is an honor to me to see your videos and I know I say this part in every comment, but I just cannot wait to bring my sons (one 7 year old and two year old twins) and if i lived anywhere near Colorado springs, I would probably visit every day.
Yeah there's no way theyd put Andrew Johnson on money lol. He was extremely racist and wanted to restrict freed slaves rights. He almost was removed from office but stayed in narrowly by one vote.
@@dmitrialeexev7131 Andrew Jackson owned slaves and had a black bed wench, forced or not, was one of the leaders of the democratic party also known as the KKK. Might want to check out Dinesh D'Souza's documentary
I grew up in central Mississippi and can vividly remember visiting Vicksburg and being told it was likely we could find bullets in the grass as we toured the battlefield! In the woods I used to explore behind my home were civil war trenches as well, basically just big waves in the ground deep in the woods to provide cover.
This must've been the toughest section to collect for considering how long ago the civil war was. I live in Washington state but want to drive to Colorado springs to see it all. Love it!
Hello Sir, thank you for sharing your amazing historic collection and thank you for your service. Have you ever encountered an ghost inside your museum?
I'm from Britian and would love to bring my family to visit your museum and possibly your firing range one day! get yourself some more British WW2 memorbilia. I love your collecttion
Hello! My son just turned me on to your museum and channel. Now I'm binge watching! Thank you for all these postings... We're in Northern Colorado, and as soon as this civic mess is gone we WILL be coming down to see your museum! Really looking forward to it. Hope you and your loved ones are staying healthy, and we're all looking forward to visiting your amazing collections! 😊❤
Love it , Absolutely just a magnificent display, i cant imagine the entire museum and i cannot wait to see it in person! Hoping in a month , maybe 2 , ill be headed that way! Love what you guys do and stand for ! Dragon man , is the man!
That's not the first hand grenade, I know in a previous video you showed the textbook. But it's wrong, unless it's talking about that specific grenade either or it's not the first combat hand grenade. First hand grenade was from like the 16th century. Why do you think we'd call some units for example in the Colonial Era, "Grenadiers" who had the big fur hats and carried grenades. The Civil War wasn't fought only over slavery, like you mentioned. It was over state rights mainly and money for example the North putting tariffs on European goods so Europe put tariffs on imported cotton. Other than that its a great display and takes a lot of passion and I'm sure it is hard to remember ever little artifact that you own. So hats off to a cool private museum
You're right it wasn't about slavery at all it was about greed and Lincoln wanted total control over the whole country he started an illegal war should ask what they didn't put in the history books my friend lived in a town in Michigan the north brought all their slaves there and shot them and buried them in mass graves millions of them the old timers have pictures of the dead slaves lined up stacked as high as the buildings all the way down main street with union soldiers in the pictures he said he lived in a house there that was extremely haunted every time the water recieds bodies wash up in the marshes
Glad you mentioned the states rights and economy part many people don't consider the ways of life for people back then slavery was evil but confederates fought for freedom to have there own land economy government and laws
@AIDEN DUARTE amen brother god bless you from a fellow Virginian my great great great grandfather was an officer in lees army of northern virginia im 15 and ive never trusted our false school system
I love the Civil War room collection even more than the others, items or replicas of older conflicts are harder to collect than the ones from the the more modern ones.
I collect Civil War stuff. The first three mannequins on the left are Indian Wars period, not Civil War. The knife you pulled out of the scabbard is a Dahlgren bayonet, but in hand to hand fighting on a ship it can be used as a knife.
I know this is nothing compared to what you have...But i am still proud to say my family still has the cartilage pouch, uniform buttons, and a bullet from the civil war on the union side...all so awesome to see. I am sadly the only one in the family that is younger than 60 that is actually intrested in all this, so I will actually be getting alot of old medals, and these kind of things when the unfortunate happens and my grandpa, and uncle, and aunt pass away. We have alot of other things, like a purple heart from one of my ancestors, among other things.
I'm not sure if you have one but the LeMat revolver was designed by General PGT Beauregard as a 9 shot .44 revolver with a 20 gauge smoothbore barrel centered in the cylinder.
Actually the original was a .41 caliber 9 shot with a 20 gauge barrel. There is a very rare 3rd model that is .36 caliber with a 20 ga barrel!! All the reproductions are .44 and 20 ga.
I am a member of the Sons Confederate Veterans and I think this is awesome. We also partner with the sons of the Union are Northern counterparts. The main cause for the Civil War for the South was the states right of secession to govern themselves and also the north was putting a extremely high tariff on the south. Slavery was a secondary issue. Look up Jim Lumber Jim Lumber was a black child that Jefferson Davis during the Civil War he unofficially adopted him because he was getting beaten by a black adult. And to get the child his last name now he wouldn't have done that if the war was truly fought over slavery. Abraham Lincoln didn't say the war was over slavery in the beginning during the start of the Civil War Lincoln said the war was about preserving the union and that is all he didn't say that it was over slavery until the middle of the war.
Some people in this World are Absolutely Uncontestable and completely unreplaceable and 100 percent the real deal and Dragon Man Is That and then some and we all owe him big time for his service and for his catalogue if Historical artifact preservations that are completely priceless the entire world must study the history of war so that the mistakes that were made in the past will never be repeated in the future.. the advancement of technology solutions and historical weaponised mechanical engineering is also very important because to know where we are going we must first fully understand where we have been ....Forever remain Forward but never in a straight line 😎💯💥
We have the pants my great great great grandfather got killed in, in the battle of Richmond Kentucky! He was a first commissioned officer in one of the Indiana regiments! And the bloodstain is still inside the lining of the pants! Plus the plaque that was sent to his wife!
If I ever get out your way, I'm coming over for a look. By the way, Lincoln didn't die at Ford's Theater. They took him across the street and he died in a private home there.
I'd definitely include Stonewall Jackson in those portraits. I can't wait to see the American revolution display. I read they met in beer halls so it would be nice to see a beer mug or bottle if it exists. Also the American militia uniforms and British. I read Grant kept his slaves even after the war. More states tried to join the south too. There's also the 500 dollar bill and 2 dollar bill.
Fun fact in the opening days of the war both sides used blue uniforms because that's all the confederate volunteers had and the standard uniform was untill the confederates began using grey

Grenades have been around since the 1600s. That’s where the term grenadier is derived... from soldiers who specialized in wielding grenades.
Thanks, for sharing your museum with all of us!
I can sit down with this guy and have a nice drink and listen to him about the war

I think you're getting Andrew Jackson confused with Andrew Johnson.
I don't think so
Correct, Andrew Jackson(on the $20) was president 1829-1837 before the Civil War.

Andrew Jackson was the 7th president and served two terms. Andrew Johnson on the other hand, was the 17th and served one term.
4:48 - Did Dragonman really say "General Custard"??? I will pretend I just misheard him.
8:27 Andrew Jackson was the 7th president of the U.S., not the 17th. You could be confusing him with Andrew Johnson who was the 17th president.
