    Always cool to see how well known Irish songs of resistance and anti-imperialism were transformed into equally inspiring pieces at the time for Union soldiers in the US.
    (US)
    Unconquered we shall remain...
    in the army of the free"
    (Irish)
    "And a thousand pikes were flashing...
    by the Rising of the Moon."
    "Oh they're hanging men and women... for the wearing of the green"

      It’s cause most songs written on both sides were written by Irish immigrants.

      Most is putting it strongly. Most songs used tunes from The British isles that had been around for centuries. But Irish immigrants definitely didn’t write most of the songs themselves. For one, they were a minority even in the Union Army. In the CSA they were even fewer.

      Also I thought your debunked Black Book was 100 million.
      Either way, yinz count the starvations of the Holodomor and 5 Year Plans as victims of Communism - and even the death of Nazis as victims of communism. However, y'all don't count the horrific actions of capital like the Bengali famine and the the starvations in Africa where Nestle owns the water. Y'all don't count the potato blight of Ireland, or the Transatlantic slave trade. Y'all don't count the millions in poverty in the United States, the "richest country in the world" as capitalist deaths - while you'd count those save impoverished as communist victims if it happened in Russia or China.
      If anything, capitalism kills way more innocents under it's cruel boot - just blamed as individual failures instead of the ideaology that feels that people deserve to starve or die to exposure if they can't afford food or home.

    Work in progress
    Soldier: On the Blutarch side of 2Fort
    We like to show how we dance
    And how we perform in battle
    Whenever we get that chance
    We will fight to blow the RED Team
    And their base to smithereens
    You have not seen anything quite like

    Or the payload cart may halt
    But win or lose, expect the servers
    To be bursting at the seams
    Because everyone wants to join in with
    The classes of BLU Team

    The classes of BLU Team
    Everyone wants to join in with

    Soldier: We have Heavy the gigantic
    And Medic the bulletproof
    There is no competition
    To be had with TF2
    But add a Soldier to the roster
    Of those who will take back Steam
    And you get the top nine players on

    Does anyone know why this tune celebrates Martindale, Butterfield and Morell, 3 Union officers whose service can best be described as adequate to mediocre? I did some digging and it appears all 3 were senior commanders of the V Corps of the Potomac army through 1862, so is it possible this was a song written by soldiers of the V Corps?
