As we approach Memorial Day, our country's honoring of the Civil War Dead, this question came to mind.

For many years I enjoyed the Cal Band playing the Battle Hymn of the Republic. I find it more inspiring than our anthem or other patriotic tunes, even it is blatantly anti-Confederacy.

But I found this tune to be quite enjoyable.
"The Irish Volunteer" is a song honoring the 'Fighting 69th' Irish Brigade, a legendary infantry unit composed of Irish-Americans that fought for the Union during the American Civil War. The brigade played a major role in several major battles such as Antietam, and the volunteers suffered some of the highest casualties of the war.



I find the Bonnie Blue Flag less inspiring (Unofficial Confederate Anthem)



Goober Peas is my favorite rebel song, fun but not inspiring...

Living here in Oregon, I can tell you that neither the Ducks or the Beavers have written a good song about their annual Civil War.

I was in the parched Coachella Valley and must be sun-drained. But this theme was not am adaptation of a Civil War melody.. I don't get a connection to music during the American Civil War.

At least "the Rebel" was a precursor to the South never giving up the fight and eventually running the country through Today's Republican Party.

This is 2021. Linear thinking and logic are dead. This is the Century of Chaos where the non sequitur reigns supreme.*


*Once someone mentions the Oregon State Beavers, everything is on the table. I didn't think someone that posts videos of yodelers, and German and Dutch pop stars would be such a stickler for convention.

More civil war nonsense from the left.

Bumping a thread about Memorial Day on Veterans Day is stupid, ignorant and
extremely offensive....to veterans and family/friends of veterans.

You really are suffering from BdS…with
the emphasis on the BS. The thread was begun prior to Memorial Day. You bumped it up because you wanted to score some lame political point on VETERANS
DAY…guess you don't the difference…
