I just learned about this place in a news blurb on how it's closing down. What a shame, place looks incredible. They Have J.E.B. Stewarts pocket watch on display. What an incredible thing to own.
Been there, excellent museum! Helpful staff and fantastic display. 3 hrs away so hard to get there as often as I would like so this video was a great help.
The 1st,4th and 5th Texas Regiments were the only Texas infantry regiments that fought in Robert E. Lee`s Army of Northern Virginia. The 3rd Arkansas was Brigaded with them at Gettysburg and was the only Arkansas troops in Lee`s Army. However they were some of the best Troops Lee had and were his "Shock Troops"..
Gabriel Rains the Confederate officer is my Great Great grandfather. He is from New Burn North Carolina, his final resting place is near Aiken South Carolina.
That is the Battle Flag of the 2nd North Carolina Infantry. This regiment was commanded by Colonel C.C. Tew of Hillsborough, NC at the Battle of Sharpsburg/Antietam. Tew was the first graduate of the South Carolina Military Academy, now known as The Citadel. He was killed in action at the Battle of Sharpsburg on Sept 17th, 1862. His regiment was in the Bloody Lane and the adjoining regiment was the 6th Alabama Infantry commanded by Col. John B. Gordon who survived the war and rose to the rank of Major General. An order was interpreted wrong, and part of the 6th Alabama marched out behind the sunken lane exposing the flank of the 2nd NC. it was at that moment the Union Irish Brigade was able to flank the road and shoot down it and eventually over run it. According to Colonel Gordon-- The first Federal volley sent a bullet thru the brain of the gallant Colonel Tew of North Carolina as they were talking. Colonel Gordon was wounded 6 times. The last ball hit Gordon below his left eye and came out below the left jaw. It knocked him unconscious, and he fell forward. His face fell into his cap on the ground and had not there been a bullet hole in his hat, he would have drowned in his own blood. He survived the war. Eyewitness said of Colonel Tew- as he was shot the ball travelled thru both temples and he sat down in the lane with his sword across his knees, blood gushing from his wounds. A union soldier tried to take his sword from him and with his last earthly strength he reared back and retained the weapon. His father was a man of means and tried several times to find his son`s body after the war but his body was never found!
Notice at the very end of this video, during the demo of the live firing of a Civil War cannon: although a *projectile is shown being rammed into the barrel* after the charge bag was inserted, said projectile is *not actually fired* . The reason is that there is *no appreciable recoil* (ie: only a relatively small movement of cannon wheels). So it is my conjecture that firing occurred when there was no projectile in the barrel. Live firing *with projectiles* can be found on RUclips™ and these show the appropriate amount of wheel movement.
You Do Not need permission to film outside under the constitution of the Republic of Texas you have the right to film outside anything that's open to the public you have the right to film
You identified a sailing ship flying a Confederate Naval Flag, as the USS CONSTITUTION. At no time during the CW, was the CONSTITUTION ever in CS hands. Which ship was that?
Frankly, I have no idea. I was simply going by the annotations the Museum had there. They are the experts, not me. I was simply a paying patron taking video. 🙂
There are some stuff I found out I went through the US history regarding Texas there are a few things that they forgot to do legally so what I'm trying to say is legally Texas is not part of the United States if you go back in history see They Forgotten to Do some stuff legally that means under the Constitution and under federal law legally Texas is Not part of the United States that means Texas is still an independent country and legally it's still part of the Confederacy of the Confederate States of America see technically the Confederate States of America the government Never surrender to the United States General Robert E Lee Did Not Surrender the Confederate States of America to the American Government I'm Not lying and I'm Not trolling all I did was looked at the paperwork and I'm just stating the Facts
You are right and it just brings to mind this, (The principle for which we contend is bound to re-assert itself though it may be at another time and in another form ) President Jefferson Davis C.S.A. That time is now.

We are putting up lot of money to stop this taking down our southern memorials
