His military service ranged from a Corporal in the British Army to a Major General in the Confederate Army. His legacy includes proposing the emancipation and enlistment of enslaved people, which was not supported by others and leading an ill-fated charge from the front, despite not supporting it himself.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 This was an awesome video!!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ . I really like how you presented his unique story, and thank you for highlighting several points of interest from his life that are often overlooked (i.e. his social background, his personal history in the British army, ect.). Well done!!!! 😄😄😄😄
The beginning of the story, describing the "three classes" in Ireland, was simplistic, amateurish, and largely inaccurate. The 'Anglo-Irish' were not simply 'English aristocracy' in Ireland, nor did they call themselves 'English' as claimed here. Nor did they descend from settlers who arrived in Ireland in the 1400s.
The Anglo-Irish were the descendants of English (and some Welsh) settlers who arrived in Ireland after the Tudor Conquest and Cromwellian campaigns and mixed with the Old Irish noble families that converted to the Church of Ireland to retain their privileges. Their ancestry was usually mixed English-Irish (or Irish-Welsh, English-Welsh, English-Irish-Welsh etc), but they weren't a blood group. They were a social class and ethnic group that dominated Irish political and economic life from the 16th Century until the 19th. After the Act of Union 1801, they would often refer to themselves as "British", sometimes "Irish", but never "Anglo-Irish" and almost never "English".
Cleburne had a conspicuous Irish accent, was identified as an Irishman by the locals of Helena, and identified himself as an Irishman. This is not in dispute. However, as a practicing Anglican (or Episcopalian), he assimilated much quicker than Catholic immigrants did in Protestant parts of the country.
Thank you Will for covering him, he's my favorite General at this rank and a great example to strive to be like.
Excellent story on General Cleburne. Educational
My family was from Friars Point, Mississippi, about 15 miles south of Helena on the Mississippi River. They were friends with General Cleburne. ☘️☘️
I really like this biography format. You guys do an excellent job of telling the story without getting bogged down in minute details.
Thanks!
Gen. Cleburne was one of the top 10 generals (of either side) that served in the "late war of northern aggression." No disrespect to my northern countrymen.... (times/ points of view were much different then.)
I find it amazing that he cam so far in life only to die in an ill advised charge in a battle that should not have been fought in a cause that was not the noblest cause that man has ever devised.
I believe that Gen. Cleburne survived and ultimately succeeded because of his likeable and trustworthy nature, his work ethic and his superior intelligence with a particular aptitude for both leadership and military matters. His loved him and would follow him anywhere..... and quite literally followed him into the jaws of death and hell.
That his proposal to emancipate the slaves and invite them to fight for their Country scuppered his promotion chances says something about the Army he was serving in.
In other timelines he is the savior of the C.S.A.
I love this video so much. However may u please post more information and links for your sources in this video. Thank you
Very interesting indeed! Thank you 😊 Joanne from Singapore ❤️
Great presentation!!
So when discussing the usage of the Union's freeing and enlisting of former slaves, according to this historian's logic, it was purely pragmatic and should only be treated as such.
I would say that it would have been a divided decision. Some in the USA government and union army would have been motivated by pragmatism, but others would have had genuine motivations based in morality and civil rights.
Anyone who says the every human in North was motivated by justice, morality, and civil rights is blinded by 2022 prejudice
Yup. I'm glad someone else noticed.
27:57 sorta confusing, was he referencing Scipio Africanus’s invasion of Africs, or the siege of Carthage? Cuz that photo is the battle of Zama
seeing his uniform coat was fairly traumatic. western theatre doesnt get enough attention
He also lost his diary the kept in his pocket
Funny what I read about Claybourne was he left England as he was convicted of a crime and sentenced to hang by the British army
That tracks with none of the history we have.
