Fascinating. Even in the midst of war a committee was able to prevail on the authorities to return their slaves to the fields, on the grounds of financial ruin. A regiment of perfectly good US soldiers was sent back to bondage. I imagine Grant was seething.
I have read an article by Brian Hall & Robert Baker about the 39th KY Mounted Infantry & an incident that doesn’t get much play. In August of 1864, the 39th was bivouacked at Louisa, Kentucky, when the 109th U.S. Colored Infantry marched into town. The 39th opened fire on the black troops, killing as many as fifteen. Within the next two weeks, over one-hundred thirty men from the regiment would desert and many would join the Rebels. The 39th was not the only regiment that suffered from large-scale desertions. Some claim that the men of the 39th were jealous of the new rifles of the 109th but one has to think that rifles weren’t the reason for the killing & desertions.
Your channel is difficult to put down. Perhaps the most unique aspect of your channel - and may I submit that this is a POSITIVE observation, is that you do not insert your own agenda or political insight into the primary sources you select. You respectfully represent both sides of the conflict well. As if to say, “the person I’m about to read from took the time to document his experience, so let’s respectfully consider this man’s perspective.” Imagine if modern education allowed students to consider material and come to their own conclusion what a better country we would be!
all what you typed may well be true. However, ever since the Bible was written ONLY by dark skinned Judaists. Judaists that followed the dark skinned moses' order of Exodus 32:27. there should be NO doubt of the bravery and abilities of dark skinned men, even if they came from ancestors that lost in battle, lost into slavery. Rome used white slaves for a far longer period of time than America has existed. Rome did not really use dark skinned slaves, but did Take about 93,000+ dark skinned Judaists from Israel (in 70 AD) after the Js lost in battle to the white skinned romans Not one of the Rabbis of Judaism ever preached to whites. Not even Jesus dared to preach His Beliefs to any whites. it was king james that stole the words from the dark skinned racist Judaists, so as to cement power over his white skinned peasants. James chose not to use the white man's created gods of Rome/Greece because there were too many gods. too confusing for the white peasants. IF u can find me enough intelligence americans, that do not defy JC and do not pay a church, perhaps there is some hope for modern education. alas, too many white americans r born stew-pid, trained to remain stew-pid and never get a modern education. the shareholder class cuts the funding to the schools, then in some Red States, red state governments force the 10 Cs upon all skin tones, even though the authors of the Bible did not want nor allow whites to use their words (moses banned all whites from reading his words) to control other whites and make profits off other whites. // there r just too many stew-pid in usa. maga has no clue they are just slaves to the atheist shareholder class. and the men that created God of the Bible never trained IT to do for whites. sure God used Joan of Arc to get revenge upon the english for stealing the Bible, but God also left Joan to die at the hands of her own king/english did get her in the end why did God choose to use her, only to not guide her from a terrible ending? maybe because she was white. maybe because the Bible does not allow women to reign over men. either way, God does not do for the white man, as per ITs creators never wanted whites to know of their God, nor use their God. May your modern education already include what i have taught u (basic history) today. do not forget to vote. only once. and if u do vote for the rapist, well, God does not want rapists to live so be ready for a Punishment from God. Thank u for your service as a slave to the shareholder (atheist) class. Word is 'u even volunteered' to be a slave to their low wage offerings. I thank u for making that decision I also thank all of your bloodline for their service to the shareholder class as well. they work so hard for so little, all the while the shareholders get all the record profits. as u should know from grade 10 business class, 'profits never go into the GDP, so profits never go into the economy'. again, thank u for your service
Modern education tries to do exactly that. Modern students' poor education level is a parental and societal problem, not the aim of the educational system. (Retired public school teacher here.) Imagine if modern students were willing to consider material at all, in many places. Reading skill levels are rock bottom. Biological evolution is now a matter of belief, not understanding. We don't value public education and critical thinking skills. We are too wrapped up banning books, trying to bring Christanity into schools, and disrespecting the value of a liberal arts education at the college level. Imagine if America respected education and open-mindedness.
@@tonybarnes3858 hi Tony- your response has all the spectacular catchphrases one would find in a Kamala Harris word salad response to: “what would you do to fix inflation.” Having attended private and public elementary and high schools in different states, 4 universities, and law school, I have first-hand knowledge of the scam which is the Marxist education system. We spend more than any other country in the world and we are ranked near the bottom in nearly every category. Every year, the top SAT scores almost invariably come from … HOME SCHOOLERS. Your school system is a JOKE. I took a college course called “inside Nazi Germany” and this WELL RESPECTED professor made the entire course a comparative course on …. THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION. Schools are a joke and so your you. Enjoy your retirement courtesy of us taxpayers.
@@tonybarnes3858 Thank you. I most heartily agree because this too has been my experiences and observations of and in our public schools. Almost 50 years ago I lost out on a teaching job. I was being interviewed for the job when I boldly stated that I didn't care if the students "believed" or didn't believe that animals and plants had changed (evolved) over an immense span of geologic time, but I would insist that they be able to pass the standardized exam on the subject or not pass my geology course. The administrators had recently been under a lot of pressure from aggressive fundamentalists in the community and were scared of classroom disruptions, but I only found this out long after the interview. I was a bit too bold for their jaded encounters with the godly and so I didn't get the job, but it was a blessing because I then went on to a satisfying in engineering.
@@oldgeezerproductions yeah… evolution and the belief in God is easily one of the most important issues facing education. Not the failure of a bloated system costing billions full of teachers more interested in pushing transgender ideology and pride flags over that of American history and math. You must be a left winger like Tony.
Hi Rob, Fabulous video as usual. Ron using the movie Glory for reference which I was told is partly based on a true story as well as the scene where the confederates executed black soldiers and their white officers in a mass grave. Could you do a video knowing you will be factual please and thank you.
Hi Susan, I believe you are referring to the assault by U.S. forces on Confederate Fort Wagner in July 1863. The attack included the 54th Massachusetts Infantry, commanded by Col. Robert Gould Shaw. He was killed in action and buried with his men in a mass grave. I have not found any account that disputed this. Hope this is helpful.
I think and I may be wrong. That the 54 was not the first USCT unit. The south didn't like it and had an order to execute all black soldiers or return them to slavery. Execute the officers who led them. Lincoln, I think at one time stated he would execute southern prisoners. Which never happened, due to leading of executing prisoners. I think what became of it, was when the USCT decided they were not taking prisoners the officers just looked the other way and swept it under the rug. Jenkins Ferry in KS was an example of it. Also, I believe that the USCT who were attacking at the crater at Petersburg, were executed. I think I have read it somewhere. I maybe off, lol, I am getting old, and I am an amateur historian.
@@outdoorlife-j4h You are not wrong re: the 54th Vol not being first. The 1st Kansas Colored Volunteers founded in 1862 and fought their first action at Island Mound in April that same year.
I'm not aware of any summary executions during the Ft. Wagner action. However, an incident at Ft. Pillow better fits the execution assertion, since the colored troops at Ft. Pillow had surrendered. Confederates definitely harbored a unique level of animosity regarding both armed slaves and those who provided said arms, stemming from the sanguine details of the Haitian slave revolt, during which tens of thousands of white Europeans were wantonly killed.
@@jonnie106 I do believe at the crater and a couple of places they were mass executed. I think letting the black troops take no quarter ended a lot of it. It usually ends that way for sides that wave the black flag.
This sounds like the union recruited enslaved people to serve in the army since the owners were compensated. What happened to the troops at the end of the war since the emancipation proclamation didn't include kentucky?
@@waltergibson9178 By the end of the war, with the defeat of the Confederacy and the restoration of the Constitution through the land, all enslaved people were free and legal protections were coming into play.
@lifeonthecivilwarresearchtrail (coming into play) from Lee's surrender in April to the 13th amendment in December. That's a long stretch. I wonder if Kentucky plantation owners tried to get them back?
@dsmonington like I said, there was an almost 8 month stretch between Lee's surrender and the passing of the 13th amendment, which covered (all) states. I wonder if the northern slaves stated that lent out their slaves to the Union Army were compensated or wanted them back.
@@Mr4autiger The latest book is always accurate? If that’s the case, you better run to a library and check out a whole bunch of them. Good luck with that.
These men of the Union Army had as much right to march through the streets of Memphis and Louisville in 1864 as did the men of the German Wehrmacht to march through Paris on the Champs Élysées on 14 June 1940. There is no difference between them, and there is no difference in how the victims of occupation saw the political circus.
Very good Ron! Thank you for the education!
This is why I play and sing "Battle Cry of Freedom" outside every Columbus Bluejackets game. Dedicated to Uncle Billys Boys.
I love that song, back when there was no question who were the patriots.
Wonderful segment Ron. Shows how far we as a country needed to go, and we are still working on it.
Thank you
Thank you. Very interesting.
thank you- another excellent anecdote!
Being from Kentuckiana, Louisville this video is especially interesting!
Where any of these later "recruits" at Battle of Milliken's Bend in June 1863? Super vids!
@@scuffco1868 I believe June 1863 was a bit early for the men described in this video.
