True that and the people torturing and killing black people they were literally targeting that race and hunting them down by their skin color sick bastards people don't want to hear it but that's the truth also rioting about the draft is not a excuse to target black people

Fun fact: 7th regiment had just gotten done fighting at Gettysburg, so needless to say they were not in the mood for any of the rioters' shite, and we're definitely following the logic of "Fuck around, find out." The 7th later became the precursor to the 3rd Infantry Division, who has three battalions based out of DC known as "The Old Guard," of whom guard the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, also are the first line of defense in the event that DC is attacked.
the 7th is still active till this day dude its part of the 3rd infantry division that is based in Georgia. the old guard has 3 battalions but they are not part of the 3rd infantry division like you claim but are a independent regiment known as the 3rd infantry regiment nickname the old guard
After seeing what the mob could do in Paris he knew canon was the key to disperse the crowd, that's why he was so effective in quelling the royalist uprising. He even had the canon position planned way before.
Just imagine how pissed these troops were. They survived the Battle of Gettysburg but before they've had a chance to rest some people (the people who they just fought to protect) are causing a ruckus in New York City. So now they have to march all the way there to deal with this.
are you seriously going to side with the soldiers? those people were sick and tired of war and abuse, they just wanted to live their lives, the fact that you side with the soldiers on this is deeply sickening
These soldiers came back from hell on earth known as Gettysburg, they had no patience for being gentle and just wanted this to end quickly, messy if it had to be that way. I imagine if this happened today people would've been horrified despite the mob being violent and lynched people left and right if they were not them.

Imagine fighting in the bloodiest battle of the whole civil war just to be told you have to march hundreds of miles to New York because the people you swore to protect were rioting and smashing the whole city up. You can see why they didn’t exactly have much mercy
@travis No. These soldiers her were veterans who had been fighting since the onset of the war. They had just gotten done fighting the Battle of Gettysburg which was the bloodiest and largest battle in the western hemisphere. Gettysburg was about as close to hell on earth as you could get in those times. The reason they got back so quickly was because of railways.
I mean lets be real here. It was knives and clubs vs guns. Give every single rioter a gun too and suddenly this is not happening the soldiers would have run the fuck away. The only reason they had ANY power there was that they where the only ones carrying a gun.

Sure, even if these are literally their own people (they are Irish Catholics from new york) but these people did defy the rich and you know you can't defy your masters.
I was thinking yesterday how this is one thing I'd fear. People don't realize how bad things can get when you're in a big crowd because you suddenly feel you're part of something bigger.

@@denierdev9723 the uniforms they are wearing are a decade prior? the Mexican American war had just ended and they got into a transitional phase from field caps to the European kepi the version they wear sure looks strange but it’s a forage cap which was standard issue regarding 1863 right after Gettysburg. Edit: forgot to mention how the uniforms are darker signifying that they are historically correct along with the web gear
@@TexasCrownsources "Just ended" just like how WW2 "just ended" right before Vietnam? I know what the uniforms looked like, but for a start, the forage caps were on their way out at the time, and the ones here have braces to make them taller, like shakos - this was from the 1850s, gone by the 60s. And the genuine look of New York seems closer to prior decades than the 1860s, and the buildings are smaller, something critics have pointed out.
@@joshuabale4923 I think that is what was meant, the caps look more like pre-Civil War army caps, every soldier in the movie dresses weirdly, and one main thing about the movie regarding accuracy that is always pointed out is the fact the city looks more like it did in the prior two decades than in the 1860s.
Some of these troops were New York National Guard. They were the same units who set up heavy artillery positions on the West Side 73 years later in 1938 and fought the Martian Tripods to a standstill as they tried to cross the Hudson River. They actually destroyed 2 of the huge alien fighting machines before Manhattan succumbed to the heat rays that the remaining Tripods brought to bear on the city.

The present arms is still used today in drill and ceremonies, as the salute command in drill formation. And I am talking about the US, its one of the first things you learn.
@@ddrake9 you do know most military doctrine was pulled from europe right? George washington literally trained his army for European war with the help of a, albeit questionable rank, european drill sargent. People went to america to try and study the civil war conflict. They mainly came away with the attitude of the american armies were far from a force to be reckon with, they had interesting ideas. The land mine was first used in the civil war.
@@The_Stumbler Bud I am aware, but I’m telling you I’ve read the drill manuals for the civil war, present arms is not for taking aim. Only for saluting
@@ddrake9 well they are in a combat situation, being told to do something related to their guns. I going doubt battle weary soldiers are first going to think of a salute in general. There are plenty of times when battles are happening and soldiers thoughts are on the battle and not on manuals. You don't remember the words specific, you remember the drilled reaction.
The audacity on this mob to go toe-to-toe against a force, that just endured the most bloodiest battle/conflict to ever happen on the Northern American continent. TO THIS DAY!!!! (Gettysburg) 51,000 dead on both sides in a three day period. I can’t even imagine the deaths those soldiers must’ve seen. All so that this nation, might live. 🇺🇸❤️🔥✝️
I find this scene satisfying in a fucked up way, the soldiers were taking none of their shit since they had just gone through one of the bloodiest battles in the war. The civilians that they were supposed to be fighting for are wreaking havoc in a city.
@@jake8855 The Union soldiers, and in particular the 7th New York National Guard Regiment, had just returned from Gettysburg. While other units also responded, the bulk of the Union soldiers were volunteers, cavalry, and National Guard from New York. So you can imagine they didn't want to put up with these people's shit who were rioting in their city and protesting a draft when they just got done fighting the bloodiest battle of the entire war.
No it was a massacre. Mostly because all of them were armed with things like knives and clubs. Now I get to the boot licker right wing you approve of this because you assume you would be on the side of the guns. The truth is they where just Mercs for the rich this has nothing to do with justice at all. The rich were angry and wanted anyone below them killed. This is why this whole event is known o have killed many many civilians who were not part of the riots buit where part of the poor.
I was about to disagree given the way to scene was portrayed. But then I heared that these were gangsters, murderers and theives who had just burned down an orphanage and lynched a few poor souls.
@@trisblackshaw1640 they were lynching and burning random black people on the streets, raiding homes, and wanting to burn down a black orphanage. The army told them to stand down and they didn't. Yet you're defending the rioters. Wisdom doesn't always come with age.
The troops sent to New York for putting down the riot, just fought the battle of Gettysburg. Harden battle tested troops. The troops were the 152nd New York Volunteers, the 26th Michigan Volunteers, the 27th Indiana Volunteers. The riot was put down. It was not a massacre. The troops saved the city.
It’s kinda funny how the movie showed the how dangerous these gangs were, and yet they got squashed by the army in a matter of minutes. I guess it also goes to show that all these gangs are still nothing compared to the might of the military.
I get you lot don't see the Irish as people. But the word Massacre just means a lot of people died. And a lot of people died there so no its 100% a massacre. You right wingers are weird trying to change the meaning of words just because you don't want your "Side" to sound bad.
@@Kayoss13212 Yeah the military had guns. I get you think they where somehow super soldiers or something but no. Give every one of those people as a gun and the situation changes a lot. But no 99.9% of them had things like broke broom handles, knives, and broken off chair legs and the military had guns.... stop sucking the boot dude.
@@TheLastSane1 it might change a bit in the sense more people would die but the soldiers still would have won. I guarantee not even half that crowd realistically know how to even reload a musket. A regular civilian vs a trained soldier and I'm placing my money on the soldier every time.
"Finally, the war's over. We can rest." "Not yet, people are rioting in New York City. Go march over there and deal with it" "..." *Loads Kentucky rifle with murderous intent*
Considering this mob was targeting indiscriminately and running roughshod just for the sake of it, this was expected. Maybe this would have a bigger impact if they didn’t show the mob beating, killing, and making a body into a piñata
Sure, but they were mostly going after the rich or at least richer people. Thats what got the military involved. The poor can never touch the wealthy, their dogs will get them.
Reminds me of an earlie scene when Dicaprios's character sais 'We don't have a gang, we have an army!'. I wish someone would have tell him in this scene. 'I think you have a wrong concept of the word ARMY'
Nope they had an army, they just didn't have guns. Give every single person in that mob a gun... and the entire situation changes. It becomes a proper battle. The fact is the Military literally brought a gun to a knife fight and then pretended that them shooting everyone wasn't a massacre. And btw they shot EVERYONE rioter, civilian, everyone. If you moved on the street they killed you, they also shot into buildings that they where sure had people in them.
@Kerld-rt9wy Nope, I'm a Christian and I refuse to partake in the inevitable collapse of this country. I will defend myself from the left since they hate Christians like myself.

@@random-le5qh And the soldiers are in various states pstd and likely just killed most of their own family given that these specific troops are literally Irish men from New York. And given that historically they pretty much killed anyone on the streets and even into houses yeah they probably came out of their little shooting trance having blown their own kids heads off. Sounds fitting right? You went to hell on the battlefield, then you took hell home with you.

In the slum neighborhood of Five Points, Manhattan in 1846, two gangs have engaged in a final battle (or "challenge") in Paradise Square over "who holds sway over the Five Points"; the two factions involved in this event are the nativist, Protestant Natives led by William "Bill the Butcher" Cutting, and the Irish Catholic group of immigrants, the "Dead Rabbits", led by "Priest" Vallon. At the end of this battle, Bill kills Vallon and declares the Dead Rabbits outlawed. Having witnessed this, Vallon's young son hides the knife that killed his father and is taken to an orphanage on Blackwell's Island. Sixteen years later, Vallon's son, using the alias of Amsterdam, returns to the Five Points seeking revenge and retrieves the knife. An old acquaintance, Johnny Sirocco, familiarizes him with the local clans of gangs and thieves, all of whom pay tribute to Bill, who controls the neighborhood. Amsterdam is finally introduced to Bill, but keeps his past a secret, seeking to be recruited. He learns that many of his father's former loyalists are now in Bill's employ. Each year, Bill celebrates the anniversary of his victory over the Dead Rabbits; Amsterdam plans to murder him secretly during this celebration. Amsterdam becomes attracted to pickpocket and grifter Jenny Everdeane, with whom Johnny is infatuated. Amsterdam gains Bill's confidence and Bill becomes his mentor, involving him in the dealings of corrupt Tammany Hall politician William M. Tweed. Amsterdam saves Bill from an assassination attempt, and is tormented by the thought that he may have done so out of honest devotion. On the evening of the anniversary, Johnny, in a fit of jealousy over Jenny's affections for Amsterdam, reveals Amsterdam's true identity and intentions to Bill. Bill baits Amsterdam with a knife throwing act involving Jenny. As Bill toasts Priest Vallon, Amsterdam throws his knife, but Bill deflects it and wounds Amsterdam with a counter throw. Bill proclaims that rather than dying, Amsterdam shall live in shame, and burns his cheek with a hot blade. Going into hiding, Jenny nurses Amsterdam back to health and implores him to escape with her to San Francisco. Amsterdam, however, returns to the Five Points seeking vengeance, and announces his return by hanging a dead rabbit in Paradise Square. Bill sends corrupt policeman Mulraney to investigate, but Amsterdam kills him and hangs his body in the square. In retaliation, Bill has Johnny severely beaten and run through with a pike, leaving it to Amsterdam to end his suffering. The incident garners newspaper coverage, and Tweed presents Amsterdam with a plan to defeat Bill's influence: Tweed will back the candidacy of Monk McGinn for sheriff. Monk wins in a landslide (the election had been rigged by the Dead Rabbits), and a humiliated Bill murders him. McGinn's death prompts an angry Amsterdam to challenge Bill to a gang battle in Paradise Square for order, in which Bill accepts. Citywide draft riots break out just as the gangs are preparing to fight, and Union Army soldiers are deployed to control the rioters. As the rival gangs face off, cannon fire from naval ships is fired directly into Paradise Square, interrupting their battle shortly before it begins. Between the cannons, soldiers, and rioters, many of the gang members are killed. Bill and Amsterdam face off against one another until Bill is severely wounded by a piece of shrapnel. He is finally killed by Amsterdam using his father's knife. Afterward, Amsterdam and Jenny leave New York together to start a new life in San Francisco. Before they leave, Amsterdam buries Bill in a cemetery in Brooklyn next to his father. As Amsterdam and Jenny leave the cemetery, the final scene of the film shows the skyline changing in a time-lapse over the next hundred years as modern Manhattan is built, from the Brooklyn Bridge to the World Trade Center, and the cemetery becomes overgrown and forgotten.
This needs to happen in most cities with violent protestors there doing exactly what happend in this film I know it's wrong to think or wish this on your fellow man but when there rioting and destroying then there is no alternative.
Only ignorant people who don't have a shred of history criticize this scene (and the movie in general) these men were coming back from Gettysburg while these people started killing and rioting, it's the big difference of criticizing a soldier from eo mobile to be a soldier.
So the soldiers, sent to die in a useless unwanted civil war, are mad at the general citizenry, who are rioting because they were sent to die in a useless unwanted civil war.
@@biggumstevens1784 A "useless, unwanted war" started because some fucks believed fellow humans could be bought, sold, and treated as property based on arbitrary factors, like skin color.

Ain’t no militia, it’s the Army of the Potomac!
Militias were definitely involved.... that's not the whole army of the Potomac, and the Uniforms are at least a decade prior to the Civil War.
@@denierdev9723 the uniforms they are wearing are a decade prior? the Mexican American war had just ended and they got into a transitional phase from field caps to the European kepi the version they wear sure looks strange but it’s a forage cap which was standard issue regarding 1863 right after Gettysburg. Edit: forgot to mention how the uniforms are darker signifying that they are historically correct along with the web gear
@@TexasCrownsources "Just ended" just like how WW2 "just ended" right before Vietnam? I know what the uniforms looked like, but for a start, the forage caps were on their way out at the time, and the ones here have braces to make them taller, like shakos - this was from the 1850s, gone by the 60s. And the genuine look of New York seems closer to prior decades than the 1860s, and the buildings are smaller, something critics have pointed out.
@@denierdev9723 Nah the uniforms are mostly correct, just too many hard packs and they wear their forage caps really weirdly
@@joshuabale4923 I think that is what was meant, the caps look more like pre-Civil War army caps, every soldier in the movie dresses weirdly, and one main thing about the movie regarding accuracy that is always pointed out is the fact the city looks more like it did in the prior two decades than in the 1860s.
Some of these troops were New York National Guard. They were the same units who set up heavy artillery positions on the West Side 73 years later in 1938 and fought the Martian Tripods to a standstill as they tried to cross the Hudson River. They actually destroyed 2 of the huge alien fighting machines before Manhattan succumbed to the heat rays that the remaining Tripods brought to bear on the city.

No it was a massacre. Mostly because all of them were armed with things like knives and clubs. Now I get to the boot licker right wing you approve of this because you assume you would be on the side of the guns. The truth is they where just Mercs for the rich this has nothing to do with justice at all. The rich were angry and wanted anyone below them killed.

After fighting a bloody battle up at Gettysburg I don’t think they’d be in the mood for patience.
Actually they may have been thinking: "Wow, these guys aren't nearly as tough as the Confederates."
Even without context
The first five seconds you literally see someone beating a lynched on fire corpse
That’s not how civil people riot
Which they actually did, by the way.
Back in the day... When things were far more practical...
It is a shame with don't treat rioters the same way today.
Imagine you just fought at Gettysburg and now had to come to New York to stop a riot. That's how you begin negotiations: by ordering "present!" first.
Fun fact, these soldiers are Irish and from New York. These soldiers were literally firing at the own people and likely couldn't tell the difference
"YOU MURDERING MOB FUCKS! THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE OUR WEEK OFF!"
The troops sent to New York for putting down the riot, just fought the battle of Gettysburg. Harden battle tested troops. The troops were the 152nd New York Volunteers, the 26th Michigan Volunteers, the 27th Indiana Volunteers. The riot was put down. It was not a massacre. The troops saved the city.
Gg grandfather was with 26th.
It’s kinda funny how the movie showed the how dangerous these gangs were, and yet they got squashed by the army in a matter of minutes. I guess it also goes to show that all these gangs are still nothing compared to the might of the military.
I get you lot don't see the Irish as people. But the word Massacre just means a lot of people died. And a lot of people died there so no its 100% a massacre. You right wingers are weird trying to change the meaning of words just because you don't want your "Side" to sound bad.
@@Kayoss13212 Yeah the military had guns. I get you think they where somehow super soldiers or something but no. Give every one of those people as a gun and the situation changes a lot. But no 99.9% of them had things like broke broom handles, knives, and broken off chair legs and the military had guns.... stop sucking the boot dude.
@@TheLastSane1 it might change a bit in the sense more people would die but the soldiers still would have won. I guarantee not even half that crowd realistically know how to even reload a musket. A regular civilian vs a trained soldier and I'm placing my money on the soldier every time.
"Finally, the war's over. We can rest."
"Not yet, people are rioting in New York City. Go march over there and deal with it"
"..." *Loads Kentucky rifle with murderous intent*
That was satisfying
Considering this mob was targeting indiscriminately and running roughshod just for the sake of it, this was expected. Maybe this would have a bigger impact if they didn’t show the mob beating, killing, and making a body into a piñata
Sure, but they were mostly going after the rich or at least richer people. Thats what got the military involved. The poor can never touch the wealthy, their dogs will get them.
Reminds me of an earlie scene when Dicaprios's character sais 'We don't have a gang, we have an army!'. I wish someone would have tell him in this scene. 'I think you have a wrong concept of the word ARMY'
Nope they had an army, they just didn't have guns. Give every single person in that mob a gun... and the entire situation changes. It becomes a proper battle. The fact is the Military literally brought a gun to a knife fight and then pretended that them shooting everyone wasn't a massacre. And btw they shot EVERYONE rioter, civilian, everyone. If you moved on the street they killed you, they also shot into buildings that they where sure had people in them.
@Kerld-rt9wy Does your wife's boyfriend know that you troll people in the comments section of RUclips?

In the slum neighborhood of Five Points, Manhattan in 1846, two gangs have engaged in a final battle (or "challenge") in Paradise Square over "who holds sway over the Five Points"; the two factions involved in this event are the nativist, Protestant Natives led by William "Bill the Butcher" Cutting, and the Irish Catholic group of immigrants, the "Dead Rabbits", led by "Priest" Vallon.
At the end of this battle, Bill kills Vallon and declares the Dead Rabbits outlawed.
Having witnessed this, Vallon's young son hides the knife that killed his father and is taken to an orphanage on Blackwell's Island.
Sixteen years later, Vallon's son, using the alias of Amsterdam, returns to the Five Points seeking revenge and retrieves the knife.
An old acquaintance, Johnny Sirocco, familiarizes him with the local clans of gangs and thieves, all of whom pay tribute to Bill, who controls the neighborhood.
Amsterdam is finally introduced to Bill, but keeps his past a secret, seeking to be recruited.
He learns that many of his father's former loyalists are now in Bill's employ.
Each year, Bill celebrates the anniversary of his victory over the Dead Rabbits; Amsterdam plans to murder him secretly during this celebration.
Amsterdam becomes attracted to pickpocket and grifter Jenny Everdeane, with whom Johnny is infatuated.
Amsterdam gains Bill's confidence and Bill becomes his mentor, involving him in the dealings of corrupt Tammany Hall politician William M. Tweed.
Amsterdam saves Bill from an assassination attempt, and is tormented by the thought that he may have done so out of honest devotion.
On the evening of the anniversary, Johnny, in a fit of jealousy over Jenny's affections for Amsterdam, reveals Amsterdam's true identity and intentions to Bill.
Bill baits Amsterdam with a knife throwing act involving Jenny.
As Bill toasts Priest Vallon, Amsterdam throws his knife, but Bill deflects it and wounds Amsterdam with a counter throw.
Bill proclaims that rather than dying, Amsterdam shall live in shame, and burns his cheek with a hot blade.
Going into hiding, Jenny nurses Amsterdam back to health and implores him to escape with her to San Francisco.
Amsterdam, however, returns to the Five Points seeking vengeance, and announces his return by hanging a dead rabbit in Paradise Square.
Bill sends corrupt policeman Mulraney to investigate, but Amsterdam kills him and hangs his body in the square.
In retaliation, Bill has Johnny severely beaten and run through with a pike, leaving it to Amsterdam to end his suffering.
The incident garners newspaper coverage, and Tweed presents Amsterdam with a plan to defeat Bill's influence: Tweed will back the candidacy of Monk McGinn for sheriff.
Monk wins in a landslide (the election had been rigged by the Dead Rabbits), and a humiliated Bill murders him.
McGinn's death prompts an angry Amsterdam to challenge Bill to a gang battle in Paradise Square for order, in which Bill accepts.
Citywide draft riots break out just as the gangs are preparing to fight, and Union Army soldiers are deployed to control the rioters.
As the rival gangs face off, cannon fire from naval ships is fired directly into Paradise Square, interrupting their battle shortly before it begins.
Between the cannons, soldiers, and rioters, many of the gang members are killed.
Bill and Amsterdam face off against one another until Bill is severely wounded by a piece of shrapnel.
He is finally killed by Amsterdam using his father's knife.
Afterward, Amsterdam and Jenny leave New York together to start a new life in San Francisco.
Before they leave, Amsterdam buries Bill in a cemetery in Brooklyn next to his father.
As Amsterdam and Jenny leave the cemetery, the final scene of the film shows the skyline changing in a time-lapse over the next hundred years as modern Manhattan is built, from the Brooklyn Bridge to the World Trade Center, and the cemetery becomes overgrown and forgotten.
Does anyone know the name of the song that plays?
