Johnny Horton's songs got me interested in History
His song about Jim Bridger was one of my favorites
history songs for me started with Sabaton
Not Animaniacs?
not really
That was a joke
I think they did more geography songs
whats gotton me onto history songs is stuff like ol confederate army songs
like Dixieland and The Yellow Rose of Texas
@Zilla listen to Boxcar Willie's version of Dixie
Aight
It is not necessarily historical but it is my favorite rendition
Does anybody got cool interesting facts about the civil war here?
It ended
More americans died in the civil war then the combined US casualties from ww1 and ww2 combined
Yeah I know that
hmm
um
Did you know that the sons of a Chinese Siamese twin served for the confederacy?
ooh
Huh I didn't know that
i believe that there was a good amount of immigrants fighting in the US at the time
There were
Pretty much everyone from all over the world were fighting for both sides
most of it was just because that were they ended up at the time
That's cool
And a lot of women were fighting in the civil war as well
Wifes
Alot of it was because the people knew that what happenes in the US would go to influence the entire world after, so they wanted to play their part for what that influence would be
Yeah I bet
If the South won, it would have inspired massive rebellions in places like Ireland and Italy
Yeah I know lol when America won during the revolutionary war it gave french people a hankering to rebel
And native americans fought in the civil war a lot of them on the Confederates side.
Mhm
The native americans and the confederacy pretty much allied because they had a common enemy
And the native americans would be the last to surrender almost a year after the war ended
Yep
Actually during ww2 a Japanese soldier who was on a island didn't here japan surrender so he kept on fighting for a plus 20 years i think
thats true
his weapons were still in perfect condition, 20 years after the time they were designed for
