- Just in time for St. Patrick's Day 2020, this video walks you through the fight of the Irish Brigade in the bloody Wheatfield on July, 2nd 1863 during the battle of Gettysburg. It covers the operational context, the organization of the brigade, their approach to The Wheatfield and how their initial success turned into an eventual rout of the Union forces fighting there. We make sense of the confusing and ferocious fighting that happened while honoring the Irish Brigade and the roughly 37% casualties they suffered in their march to immortality.

Home too, this channel is Great!
Thank you for this. I've been to Gettysburg twice.. Being an Irishman I have an interest in how my people forged the way from anti Irish sentiment to pro Irish acclaim.. Illinois Irish.. Derry born
I’m American with Irish roots with family from Kerry and Cork 🇮🇪
Extremely proud of my heritage the Anglican version of our name is Buckley but the Gaelic is O’bucchalah
The Irish are scattered throughout the whole world hence why everyone likes them.💚🇮🇪
I'm from Waterford City, home of Thomas Francis Meagher, commander of the Irish Brigade. I pass the home he grew up in every day. Timothy Egan wrote the "Immortal Irishman" about his very illustrious life. Great videos.
Nice videos -well constructed and the right length. Thanks to the RUclips algorithm I found your channel.
Thank you John!
The Irish Brigade's Flag/ recruiting banner is located at the University of Notre Dame. Fr. Colby, C.S.C. was the brigade chaplain. and ended up as president of ND. The veterans gave him the banner to hold. Our family paid for the restoration. It was fully restored in Sharpsburg, MD. The banner was made by Tiffany's NY, and was used to recruit in the NY area.
The 28th Massachusetts Infantry was fairly new to the brigade, having only joined in late november of 1862. They had replaced the 29th Mass which was a predominantly protestant Irish regiment. They strongly objected to serving in a fenian outfit and so would be replaced by the largely catholic 28th. The 28th Mass were the only unit at Fredericksburg to march into battle under their emerald green flag.
Nate, I just read about the 29th MA, and talk about mixing oil and water!

Love my brothers and my ancestors and my red beard
If I were a time traveler. I’d record footage of the entire battle. And try to selling in the future to liveleak for millions.
Just saying but the monument to the Irish brigade has to be mine and my paternal grandmother’s favorite monument and the reason that my paternal grandmother loves the monument is because of the Irish wolfhound at the bottom but the reason that I love the Irish brigade monument is not just because I love the Irish wolfhound but it’s main reason that I love the Irish brigade monument is that I am part Irish because my last name Dolan means dark haired Irish man
37 percent casualties in WWII would put a unit out of action permanently.

Did you say 1988
Guilty as charged. Notice, I placed a quick correction in the video. It was dedicated on July 2, 1888.
@@MilitaryHistory317 same year Celtic Football club was formed in Glasgow, Scotland
Burnside was the first head of the NRA. "Fair Catch Corby" - what a guy threating poor ignorant men before going into battle.
You are correct, Burnside was the first President and Hancock was President in 1881,

Who thinks the Irish Brigade fought to free the slaves? Men fight because they have to.
The Irish hated the blacks..and the slaves..they were seen to be on par with them..the draft riots were down to Irish being pissed at the blacks not being drafted or conscripted and thus taking there jobs...they truely fought for their place at the table.. and bless their heroism but as always..they were cannon fodder...despite their bravery
There were instances when the Irish upheld their moral fortitude with regards to their religious beliefs...Mexican American war..when they joined the Mexicans and formed the San Patricios
They redeemed themselves for valiantly fighting for the Union and laying their lives to defeat the Confederacy
The purpose of the Federal Army, which everyone including soldiers or the Irish Brigade understood, was to secure the Union and, following the First Emancipation Proclamation (issued before Gettysburg), to secure the freedom of all the Black slaves in the rebel states. The great thing about American democracy is that these two policy objectives had to be endorsed, or rejected, by vote of the citizens in the 1864 elections.
The immigrants who served in the Federal Army, including the soldiers of the Irish Brigade, also fought to secure their own honoured place in America after the war. They succeeded.
Any two-bit demagogue can stir up mob hysteria and irrational violence. Some of the Irish people in New York were stirred to irrational violent anarchy, including the murder of Black people, in support of the political desperadoes masquerading as "moderates" who would appease rebellion and slaveholding -- the "Copperheads". Sociology and psychology might attempt to "explain" irrational anarchy but the irrational defies explanation. And in spite of the Copperheads, and the rioting, Irish Americans continued to support the policy objectives of the war.
There were, of course, a rather small number of Irish people who joined the rebels, mostly to fight for their place in the attempted new country. A few of these fought with the First Virginia Regiment and some died in Pickett's change. Whatever they thought of the rebellion, it didn't do them much good.
this was kinda boringggg!
The buggars came over to start a rebellion in Ireland after, crazy paddy’s.
