I can’t understand why people want to remove Confederate Statues because it is American history and it happened on American soil. The city of Richmond the Capital of the Confederacy took every statue down. The statues should have stayed due to the age and Monument Ave was a tourist destination for years from all over. I don’t believe these statues were taken down in good faith but to destroy our past.

Why? Confederates were traitors who attacked the United States Army and led to the deaths of over 600,000 soldiers and fought to preserve the abomination that was slavery and their belief that slavery was the “natural condition” of an “inferior race” as argued by Confederate VP Alexander Stephens. General Lee himself, who was indicted for treason, was against such statues and the glorification of this war. The Daughters of the Confederacy didn’t listen as they were busy erecting statues to the same traitors while spreading their “lost cause” bullshit to whitewash history and show “uppity Blacks” who was still in charge in the South. That’s (partially) why.

Here's an excerpt: [i]In view of these and many other facts, it is meet that our own views should be distinctly proclaimed. We hold as undeniable truths that the governments of the various States, and of the confederacy itself, were established exclusively by the white race, for themselves and their posterity; that the African race had no agency in their establishment; that they were rightfully held and regarded as an inferior and dependent race, and in that condition only could their existence in this country be rendered beneficial or tolerable.[/i]

I agree these are just amazing glimpses into the lives of men who saw the dawn of a whole new era. I reckon the closest we can relate it to is when computers began to dominate society and strip us of our individuality, but even that pales in relation to the immense changes these men witnessed. Electricity, gas powered cars, airplanes, tanks, submarines, machine guns, grenades, nuclear weapons, home appliances, the amount of things they saw come into being is unimaginable.

The accents of people in the south during the 1800's sound more English than southern. I once read that the people of the south after the war started talking differently so as not to be confused with someone from the north. It makes sense to me that the distinct southern accent may have emerged during the later 19th century.

@BirdDogg

A lot of the south was settled as a tri-cultural area which likely accounted for the diversification of influences heard in the mid to late 1800's and even today in the south. Scotts-Irish, African American and Native American cultures heavily settled the Appalachians, Creole culture in Louisiana, South American Influences in Texas. The languages and nuances blended together forming subtle differences throughout the south but similarities as well. Most of the soldier's parents were likely immigrants who had learned english as adults. Very interesting to think about how these sort of subconscious patterns evolved though over the years and makes you wonder how far removed we are from our ancestors. Would we even understand them today? If I could just get the batteries to charge on this time machine again....

You have not learned that the rebs executed Black and Irish POWs by the hundreds? Did your mom know that? No, they were former Americans who rejected the Constitution, and conned and forced many poor Whites to fight explicitly to enslave Black americans. Lee openly hated Irish, and Jefferson Davis officially authorized the execution of captured POW Black Union troops and their Irish officers. 300 POWs alone murdered at Fort Pillow. Another reason right-whack trumpublicans are so obsessed with forbidding the teaching of actual history, and whine so much. But the criminal truth is right there in the official documents and speeches of the Confederacy. Even in the libraries of southern universities. It is time to let the bell of truth ring free, and stop pandering to weak minded bumpkins who can only handle "Happy Talk" about their ancestors.

@david snedeker Actually, if we are going to talk about the truth of executions in this country, Lincoln authorized the largest mass execution in US history. The attack at fort pillow went awry because the Yankee commander at the fort (Major Bradford) fled the battle in an act of sheer cowardice, he never surrendered his troops leaving them to be slaughtered by the onslaught of confederate forces. While there are varying accounts of the affair that were made at the time, if you take the time to read the official reports on the incident (both from the union and confederate forces involved) the accountability of those soldiers deaths falls on the cowardice of Major Bradford. People die in war, especially combatants.

LOL - Civil War & Heritage are two separate things. You can be proud of your southern heritage, but to say the Civil War wasnt fought over slavery is literally incorrect. It was fought to decide whether western expansion would allow slavery. In fact, South Carolina literally gives as their reason for succession was to preserve slavery. Literally in their articles of succession.

I'm fascinated by hearing the accent of Major Monroe. I'm picking up a slight Scots/Irish brogue in his speech mannerisms. He is from Asheville Virginia. I suspect his style of accent was probably more common among Southerners and even some Northern men who lived near the Appalachian regions of the country. Absolutely amazing. Great vid.

I cannot figure this fellow out 1:00 He claims to be the youngest son of ex-President James Monroe and was born in 1815. Pres. Monroe did have a son named James, but he was born in 1799 and died in 1800. Even if this man was born in 1815, he'd have to be over 110 years old, by the time sound film was commonly available.

5:33 you can see him flashing back to the Battle of the Wilderness and Spotsylvania Courthouse. Incredible yet terrifying.

I am a nobody but I have 4-year degree in history and I dedicated some time and thought into certain aspect of this time period in question: About penmanship: well, it was kind of a big deal to have a nice journal and pen to write with, one would pay extra special attention to the penmanship they tediously worked on in the classroom all those years. I am 40 years old and I had a "handwritting" grade back in grammar school. About the way they spoke: think about how people speak at public gatherings today. They certainly curtail their slang. They spoke a lot less eloquently when around their friends. In situations where they could loosen their belt a little so-to-speak. The point is that people back in the mid 1860s were not as different, and are not as old and "old-fashioned" as many may think. Studying their ways and what they had to live through, I am sure you will reach some commonality with people of this time period. They went through the same trepidations in life: hoping the best for their family, the desire to have a little fun, the anxiety of meeting a girl/boy they really liked, the stress of finding good employment. They just came a little bit before us, not much. Think about how fast the past 20 years has gone by for those of us 40 or older. It is just 7 times that length of time and if you ask me that is not all that much, especially for those who are wondering where the past 40 years have gone. For them the connection in time is even shorter just about 4 times the length of time. It is our time now. That is all. Back then it was their time. Now it is our time to go through the human experience. We are no better and they are no worse. And I can promise you this they did not talk to one another like they were in a damn Shakespearre play. Lincoln was writing knowing full-well every word penned by him would be cherished as a relic of the times. If you were fighting in bloody battles your journal entries would surely be written in a way that in the back of your mind that your privacy would be taken from you, as your diary almost certainly had a 50/50 chance it would be lifted from your dead body rather than returned safely to your trusty draw back home - the "personal" entries of a journal were skewered in that they would become artifacts of the war, and therefore less personal and more for an audience. I know there are some rare exceptions to this notion.
