Rare Film: Confederate Memorial Day/Memorial Day celebrations (The Civil War Diaries S4E25)

All the real brave men and women have been in the ground for a long time. Today this country is so screwed.

I had two ancestors that fought in the Union Army. Not sure if they would be so willing to join again knowing what the Federal government has become.

Another great video honoring our fallen heroes. Today's ultra soft culture cannot even fathom how brave the men on both sides were.

Thank you. God Bless Our Southern Heros! 😊

Looks like the 1920’s, based on what that woman was wearing. These men during that time would be like Korean War - ww2 veterans in our time line ,it’s really something to see through this window of time.

RIP, Soldiers of the South I remember my Grandmother talking about her uncles that were soldiers and how they had nothing to eat but dried corn

I will share this with my son and tell him of his family heroes who fought for the CSA.

God Bless all the brave men and women of the south!! They gave their hearts and souls! Proud🙏

So much dignity!

I was wondering if anyone would mention Confederate Memorial Day. Thank you sir.

These men are like our WWII vets now.

It sometimes just gives me chills, after each side once aimed at the other, to now see them shaking hands; so life does, indeed, go on & occasionally, perhaps time c-a-n heal wounds (both physically & mentally)👍😃🇺🇸

Amazing footage. I have talked with the Vietnam Vets, WW 2 Vets, and one WW 1 Vet. This footage makes the American Civil War participants come to Life, showing the Zeitgeist of The Men I’ve never met…

Thank you for sharing this great video. Keep the Confederacy and those who fought , there memories alive. God bless you all

My mother was from the South. I love Southern heritage. Thanks for posting. Great video, colorization, and music.

The proud old veterans remembering back so many years ago and doing the manual of arms with a Springfield musket such as the type they drilled with and carried during the Civil War.

Yeah I wish they had had a videos with them when they were younger such Brave Young Man God bless them all I give them all at Rebel Yell

Great film yet again Priceless moments in time. String music was an added bonus. Thanks for sharing

My 3rd great grandfather Leander Jackson Pace (1816-1893) was a major in the Henderson county militia (Company G) under the 35th regiment of North Carolina. His company saw battle in a good amount of places including New Bern, Seven Days Battles, Malvern Hill, Harper's Ferry and Antietam. If I'm correct he was then discharged because of his age (which being over 40) allowed him to leave the army. Before the war between the states Leander served as a first Sergeant of the third regiment under Captain Marcus Dickerson which helped rally up natives to be moved in the trail of tears but would never march with the Indians. After his military career Leander would become a local postmaster in which he would serve until he died in the year 1893 at age 76. Two of Leander's sons served in the civil war notably Judge Columbus Mills Pace (1845-1925) who after his service became the longest serving clerk of the court in North Carolina state history serving for a whopping 57 years until his death at age 79. If you were interested my 2nd great grandfather Richard Jackson Pace (1857-1939) was born too late to serve in the war. Even though I do not agree nor support the cause some of my ancestors fought for; I will not ignore nor deny their importance in the evolution and greatness of this nation! I saw other people posting about their ancestors who fought in the civil war so I thought this would be a cool place to share one of my ancestors who fought in our nations bloodiest conflict.

Thank you for sharing these films, Wish we could Thank all these brave soldiers 🌹
