Many years ago while performing a timeline living history event in Kennesaw, Georgia we met a very kind older gentleman who we camped next to. This reenactor had a very smart authentic kit which included a blue belgian mule! The main theme of his display was battle flags. This gentleman reproduced confederate battle flags full sized from original type fabrics, all hand sewn using correct stitch techniques, coloring on cloth and edging. His portfolio was superb as were the display flags which he had on hand. His prices were top shelf but every flag produced was thoroughly researched & recreated to perfection. That event was top notch. Listed as one of the most enjoyable living history events we attended. A plus was it was very close to the railroad museum which was enjoyed by reenactors & tourists. Sadly, as usual big money wins out. The land used for the event was sold off and later the hobby fell out of favor....now the only impression for me is an old man or a corpse...🤣
@@blondjonthey seem more proud this pos flag than the USA 🇺🇸 flag. Can you name a single country that allows a traitors to fly treason flags after the rebellion was 100 percent crushed. They should be embarrassed to fly it for either being a traitor or just getting their butts kicked so bad.
It is sad that it's being reviled the way it is these days. I've lived all over the country and it was never treated in such a way until lately bc they can use it politically to "other" much of the country.
It's stupid to erase history like that in order to try to cover something up that happened. The only thing I can say is I'm white from VA, and when growing up and moved to Atlanta after graduation, to move to visit my father, I saw stone mountain, and the Confederate carvings on the side of the mountain. I felt an uneasy feeling of Southern worshipping that was uncalled for in current times, but I realized that it was done in a generation where the white Southern ppl were still proud, and loved in revisionists history, because the feds left them alone for the most part. I felt bad for black ppl that had to look at the Confederate representation on that mountain, like to keep the rebel spirit alive, which was a huge thing, there was always a call of the south will rise again since the civil war, and it was taken seriously, I traveled all over the south and this isn't my imagination, but prominent white men really used the good old boy system to do this. I hated this coming from my hillbilly state, and being young, all I could do was think, one day you old fks will see that everything has changed, and us young men aren't racist like you and your grandfathers were, and made you
HIGHLY recommend the Pennsylvania Civil War Battle Flag Education Center in Harrisburg PA. Freaturing over 400 flags from PA regiments. It was an incredible visit.
Outstanding video. Chris white, you knowledge with those little extra tid bits about individual soldiers accounts and little facts is amazing. I could listen to those all day long. I have been meaning to post you about this. Great work
Thank you for making this video! I love seeing the original Artifacts! Especially uniforms and flags! The New York State Military Museum in Saratoga Springs New York has an AMAZING collection of Civil War flags and Uniforms. Would be great to see you do a video from there at some point.
As a Black American i gotta say, no way, should those flags be destroyed. They are American history. They should always be preserved. Just like the statues.
Thank you for that. Slavery has always been an abomination wherever he has existed anywhere in the world.. unfortunately it still exists today in many forms. Socialism and communism from art tyrannical government in the United States today is
The statues had no business remaining up they were put up almost all in the 1900s and they were to honor traitors to the Union and the Civil War was only started and fought for the right too keep slavery in place the right to own another human being.I am a white man they only reason these rebel flags and statues were to honor traitors and to remind black Americans where their place was during Jim Crow era and I get tired of this heritage argument southern white spit out and I am from the south from Memphis Tennessee where the great Dr King was killed and all a lot of civil rights were fought for against a racist mayor, police and governor
@@michaelsullivan2554 Ohio g has killed more people than communism. Slavery is eradicated (made illegal) thanks to white people. Slavery ended in the 1850s for most European powers 1900 for Africa and Middle East didn’t end until 1980s in some places
Amazing!! These preservation people do a good job reserving both Union and Confederate flags. At a recent Civil War reenactment I was taking part in I was shown a Philip Sheridan staff flag, that belongs to one of his descendants who was in the reenactment with us. The flag was perfectly preserved.
Traditionally, flags through the ages were only unfurled in the face of the enemy as an act of defiance, or on ceremonial. Examples of flags I once made can be found on YT, "War Walks" Battle of Bosworth 1485.
Not much defiance involved, the flag was an important battlefield signal for troop movements. Bascially even if you did not see or hear your officers and sergeants, where the flag goes YOU go.
@@Ugly_German_Truths I did say through the ages, which includes well before the USA was established. Also, there are examples when troops were told not to follow the flag, in order to deceive the enemy of their whereabouts.
I haven’t been to Mississippi since the 1980’s. I remember back in the 1960’s, when I was a teenager, I visited the Old Capitol Museum in Jackson. They had some flags and artifacts on display.
Great video and very informative I had no idea they still existed in that number. My ancestors served 31st co A and 51st co D NC troops. Now curious if any of their flags still exists 🤔
fantastic flags! I would be very interested in getting there some day; my great uncle was serving in the Chicago Mercantile Battery at the Siege of Jackson
I would love to pose a question to a Scholar of The Civil War and/or a Constitutional Scholar: Nine of thirteen States were required in order to Ratify the Constitution in 1788. Two of the nine States were Georgia and South Carolina. When the eleven Southern States including Georgia and S. Carolina left the Union, what became of those two votes? Are those Ratifications abandoned or Vacated? When the Southern States left the Union, they in fact formed their own Central Government CSA. I would argue that the Civil War was NOT a Civil War; it was a shooting War between two Nation States. I think the distinction is very important as it relates to the Original, now defunct Constitutional Republic. I say Defunct because of the loss of the two Ratifications and then a series of events which further reinforce my position. Dec. 1865 The US Congress refused to Seat Members from ten Southern States. This was because of the 14th Amendment, which has some defects (it makes ALL persons born in the US Citizens of the US, not of their States). In reality, ten Southern States were busted up into five Military Districts with each State Government dissolved in favor of Union Generals and Carpetbaggers from the North. When a Federal Government can eliminate State Governments at the point of a gun, there is no longer a Constitution in force. This was followed by The DC Act of 1871, The Federal Reserve Act, the 16th and 17th Amendments. This is hardly the stuff of Conspiracy Theories; it is Historical and Factual. And, it is never taught in schools or Universities. To sum up my position: The Original Constitutional Republic saw it's apex during the Administration of Andrew Jackson. Since Buchanan, events have occurred which I hold to be destructive of the Republic. When Congress punted the power to Mint the Money or when States lost the US Senate, there really is no Rule of Law as the Founders had established. In fact, when you hear a Member of Congress state that "this Democracy" or words to that effect, they are technically correct. This Nation has become what the Founding Fathers were trying to avoid; two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner. I have yet to engage one person to debate me on the points above. In order for us to know exactly what is happening now, we must look at History. The Good, the Bad and even the Ugly. We DO NOT have the luxury of burying our heads in the sand. Everything that is wrong is by the Consent of The People. In the end, only The People bear the responsibility
Oh wow! Finally a person who hasn't swallowed the red pill. I commend you on your knowledge and also for having the courage to shout it out. We have been sharing the same message since 2007 but it mostly fall on indoctrinated ears. Materialism prosperity & idleness has been the bane of modern life. My beehive slouch hat is off, my hoary head bows to you.
18:59 The canton of this flag is not the STARS and BARS, but the diagonal cross or the "Southern Cross". The Stars and Bars was the complete flag design of the original CSA national flag, as portrayed earlier in the video.
The red that he was referring to with the reel band opposite the Battle Ensign on the 2nd National Pattern (that's the flag it was pointed out on) would have been the 3rd National Pattern Confederate flag, I have an interest in historic flags because of their beauty
The 18th Mississippi's flag is imported wool bunting for the red field and blue cross with polished cotton stars and white fimbration. The white borders are wool bunting as well and the hoist edge is cotton canvas.
the 19th ms cav battallian was captured at CARMAGO crossroads, not Brice's Crossroads. They were present at Brice's, but that is not where the flag was lost. things did not go as well for Forrest at Carmago.
Thats cool! I recently returned from Newnan, Georgia and was dissapointed I never seen any civil war stuff anywhere. The closest was a tribute cemetary to the Brownsville Hospital I believe. Would love to comb the rivers for anything with a metal detector while diving. Have you any video's on the Coweta, Newnan, Senoia area of the civil war?
@@bipslone8880I wouldn't. It's a shame that you are trying to shame others. Ignorance is bliss though. First lesson is the South wanted to live under the original government. Read and you will see who the real enemy is.
Ithink all together “ That that Civil War was really crazy . I don’t even realize “ Why “ did they fight. All those men at that time died for nothing that was going to be important to do . They should of just had a vote of the saving the slaves.
Silk is actually a very sturdy fabric, in the period these flags were made commercial silk was sold by the pound not the yard. To maximize profits the silk was adulterated with chemicals that caused the degradation.
Missouri + Kentucky represent the 12th + 13th stars. Their leaders requested that Jefferson Davis allow them to join the cause, which he agreed to. The north essentially occupied these two slave states so heavily that they didn't recognize them as having seceded. And Lincoln offered big pay to men of these states to enlist. I have a confederate 3 dollar bill from Missouri, where my family lived since the 1830s + served with both the GAR + the CSA. A heartbreaking war that wouldn't have happened had the slaves been freed at the end of the Revolutionary War
I’m wondering I have some civil war coins and three bullets from the battlefield of pickets charge would you guys be interested in them and they are not replicas I live right near Gettysburg
The removal of flags from everywhere....Is very upsetting to me. People just decide what it means to themselves then justify destruction of our heritage.
Taking down statues by mobs...hard to protect statues but buildings and museums arent in a town center waiting for a riot...a museum even full confederate items the cops would defend the building even over private property weird but true.
I dont understand why they are not stored in an inert atmosphere, such as an argon pressurized cabinet. The natural fibre deteriorating is caused by oxidation and bacterial action, both of which could be stopped by inert gas.
