- In today's episode we look at an event that occurred on December 16, 1927, when Confederate veterans from Virginia, North Carolina, and Texas, along with a delegation of representatives from Maine, were received by President Calvin Coolidge at the White House following a presentation of the return of captured battle flags from Maine to representatives of the southern veterans.

Back when real heroes marched in parades today we have Pride parades
I would assume Homosexuality isn’t a New thing and I would guess a few of those Heroes you described might be in the closet.
@@planeandsimplexplained if true they had the good sense of staying in the closet and not flaunt it
The 369th Infantry Regiment was not permitted to march in the Farewell Parade prior to shipping off to Europe for WWI. They were shipping off as a member of the 42nd Division called 'The Rainbow Division' and some wisenheimer concluded, 'black isn't a color of the rainbow'.
A blessing to meet a true hero. True heroes never chirp about it themselves so you could work with one for years and never know. Some true heroes have their exploits covered up and hidden from the public. I submit that in 1927 the true measure of a hero was truncated and crippled.
@@deadhorse1391 They participated in Buckbreaking
@@user-ut1en2lt8l that’s a nonsensical modern fantasy
This is how you heal the wounds from the Civil War.
The generations directly affected by the Civil War were much more tolerant of Confederate Veterans and displays of Confederate items than today’s generations with their pretended hurt attitudes. I am a proud great, great grandson of two Confederate soldiers. I will not be cowed by current revisionists.
We can learn a thing or two from these better people.
Spot on.
The U.S. Government once sponsored Blue-Gray Reunions for this purpose. Arlington National Cemetery even had what was called the "Reconciliation Monument" until recently.

Like so many things in today’s world the Civil War is being used as a political tool.
American history should not be forgotten ❤
Then why do Republicans keep trying to eliminate parts of history from our schools!😅
It is not forgotten except by maga who would literally white wash the truth. We should not be afraid of the truth.
Nor rewritten to imply the Confederacy wanted anything more than to keep the institution of slavery
Nor whitewashed.
@@GodsFavoriteBassPlyr They’ll probably erase your comment, like they did mine! You have to believe in the lost cause.🙂
The things these men did and saw in their lifetime is amazing...
Very Well done President Coolidge!
Pres Coolidge is an unsung solid American pres. It was he who halted immigration that had been rampant between 1880s & 1920s. Growth had been so rapidly that assimilation was lagging far behind. So he stopped it to allow for more order to prevail. Think the opposite of Obuma Bidum.

Calvin Coolidge, one of the most underappreciated presidents ever.
You couldn't get more 'Yankee" than Calvin Coolidge. He had integrity of a kind that no longer exists in public life.
@@hiphop9583 He ignored the lynchings of Black people, fired blacks in DC who had good jobs. He was one of the worst
Trying to bring the country back together instead of pulling us apart, like our great Zombie in Chief!
Without gov't@ voluntarily adherence to the founding documents we don't need to be together as one... except in war. Now the war exception is falling apart because of foreign adventurism against wishes of grassroots voters. Original idea was for this nation to be made up of self governing states - with a few tiny exceptions. As exploding bureaucracies will do when given an inch they will crush everything in their path. Send my tax dollars to Austin, not DC.
Like both parties full of bought careerists.
Are you talking about the traitor trump who refused to turn over power and caused the most disgraceful act in American History.
How can this country ever be unified if it’s never apologized for Slavery and still blames Africa for it
Hard to explain when comments with factual info are disappeared. The common, "historical" narrative is built on a shaky foundation. New knowledge via major efforts devoted to study are dismissed to the preference of a tired old narrative. There is no use talking when full communication is sins-ored.
...when the blood flows together...wounds heal. Since 1952 Federal Law requires Confederate Soldiers, and their families receive the same consideration as Union Soldiers. They are all Americans.
Never understood if they were Americans why did they fight against America for the right to keep people in bondage forever? Doesn’t make sense.
@@user-ut1en2lt8l Speaking as a US war veteran, no... it doesn't. They were traitors and didn't want to held accountable for that. It's one thing to remember them, it's something else to act like they were anything other than that.
@@kevlarburrito6693’merica! Love it or leave it! Right? They tried but the North wouldn’t let them.
Thank you. Had ancestors who fought on both sides. I respect and honor them all.
@kevlarburrito6693 Not anymore traitors than our Revolutionary war vets. I had grandfathers who fought in every American War up to Korea.
Silent Cal was the GOAT. A peacekeeper, champion of civil rights, small government, free markets, and refused to run for a second term because ten years in office was too long. There will never be another like him as president.
Amen 🙏🏾
Champion for Civil Rights? For who??
@@user-ut1en2lt8l non whites, especially Native Americans.
He Ignored the Racism of Lynchings and didn’t do anything to stop it
Magnanimity by those who succeed and by those who fail is a forgotten trait of civility .
So true and very eloquent
@@Christianne-md2ndStupid comment
And what of the emancipated black Americans living in the south? No soup for them, eh?
The flag is a resemblance of the Saint Andrew's Cross.
13 stars for 13 states
A step back in time when ordinary people actually, were sober, acted civilized, and dressed up to attend a public event. Even the horses in the parade appeared happy. My, my, how things have changed.
lest we forget. thank you
Bird Dog, the work that you do is so important to keep objective, empirical (real and true) history alive. So many today are trying to change US history, or are changing history.
The heartbeat of Our Cause still is felt in those of us with deep roots in The South and who had great and great great grandfathers who bravely gave their life or their blood to protect the rights of our States. Their legacies live on as well as those of the women who endured many hardships during the war and reconstruction. We may have lost the war but never our dignity, pride and will to survive! - GG Grandson of William Chance , CO I , 6th GA Infantry
That would have been ok if they had freed the Slaves
Thank You, MCraig, for your outstanding Comment. I am a born and bred Yankee from New York. However, after serving in the US Army 505th PIR 82nd Airborne Division, and having group of Battle Buddies from the South from whom I learned much of Southern Traditions, Customs, and Music. And, after witnessing my Southern Buddy's impressive bravery under fire, my Heart belonged to the South! I also spent a good deal of time in Georgia and North Carolina, and experienced the great beauty of the South. In my heart, I am a proud Southerner.
Well done .
You can see how chivalrously the veterans made their peace with each other. And how naturally they treated the flag. When you see how this symbol is being dragged through the mud by do-gooders in our time, you feel different. The distortions of history that are being presented to the population today are disgraceful. What would the old veterans on both sides have said about this? It would have been a shock.
I don't appreciate nazis using it either
It's the right thing to do, after all they are Americans too.... just because the history has been compromised doesn't mean you can't find the truth Dixie will have her turn.... soon! I have flown my 3rd national for years and HOA decided one day, I couldn't ...there was a meeting and this one is for Dixie... . I won...simply tell the true story it's a historical memorial flag...the blood bar makes it so. Victory for Dixie.
So glad to see these preserved films❤
You always have the best original footage.
You can never do more than your duty; you shall never wish to do less.
These men fought to defend their homeland and fulfilled their duty to their families and countrymen who were invaded upon. May God bless them now and forever.
😂😂😂😂😂
They weren't invaded. They decided to unconstitutionally break away from a Union they joined and a Constitution they swore to follow. All to continue the practice of keeping a human trafficking operation going.
That was so cool! Thank you!🇸🇴
This film was a miracle to still have. And I was able to witness this👍💥thank you
Thank you Mr BD for sharing this video. Its beautiful.
My G-G-G Grandfather died in service for that flag and the Confederacy. God Bless him for his service and sacrifice.
Both sides did this as respect and heal from the war
Thanks for sharing Chris -
Thanks for coming along Jack!
the older guys trying to stay still for the picture is amusing...thanx dog
My most sincere THANK YOU to BIRD DOG for showing these outstandingly Brave and Honorable Sons Of The South!
These Men and Women were hero's in every sense of the word. We will never forget them, and always honor them!
Thank you guys for coming along, I couldn’t do it without your support!
Coolidge is a very underrated president who isnt spoken about much.
A Massachusetts man at that.
Great president he was, one that people should look to want to have again.
What those gentlemen saw in their lifetimes was nothing short of amazing and miraculous. From horse and buggy to automobiles driving down Pennsylvania Avenue. Glorious times, indeed.
Great stuff!
Glad we are able to see the battle flags in museums and they are not stored away in a warehouse never to be seen again
❤ every time I watch a video of yours make me proud to be a southerner God save the South from North Carolina CSA forever
4th NC Infantry Goldsboro Volunteers
SC surrendered February 18, 1865 and NC surrendered April 26 1865. God save the South from who?
❤ Thanks from old New Orleans 😇 !
That must have been a proud and moving experience for those elderly heroes. Would suspect that many were remembering those of their old Units who did not survive the terrible conflict...
What a blessing to be able to watch our heroic Confederate veterans who fought in the War for Southern Independence. The fact that we have images of brave men who served their cause in a conflict that ended in 1865 is amazing.
If they won they would have never freed the Slaves. Actually the South wanted to keep expanding Slavery
these men attacked our federal troops beginning with Fort Sumter and were responsible for the deaths of over 600,000 young men. Do you have the same love for the Japanese pilots that bombed Pearl Harbor or the terrorists that brought down the Trade Towers, or maybe you would like to fly their flags?
Ended?
Thank you for posting. It’s amazing to see the men of that great generation on the screen like this.
Outstanding as always brother! Keep the faith
Great film, sadly non PC today as 'they' tear down the statues and alike as the woke march continues!
These snot nosed college kids have no idea what bravery is. It took bravery to fight .
"They" even tore down the statue of Hans Christian Heg. He was an abolitionist who died fighting for the Union!
@@nghtwtchmn129 you’re right. We never should have given on to these anarchists. Erasing our history. Erasing the bravery of the southern soldiers
Nice! Some footage I've never seen before
God bless! Thanks for the memories.
Amazing to see this, especially a colorized version!👍😃🇺🇸
To paraphrase General Grant.
They fought valiantly and courageously. However, for a cause, that was the one the worst a man could fight for.
From the brain of a drunk... 🥱
Coming from the man who served on behalf of railroad corporations, central banks, and monopolists, that doesn't mean much.
@@redaug4212 your absurd .
So slavery comparies to the other stuff?
@@user-rv8lg5oc6w Given that the gross expansion of federal power has resulted in the destruction of every First Nation culture in the continental US, and has set the precedent of waging/supporting wars on behalf of industrial patrons (which has killed millions around the world), yes, it certainly does compare.
General Grant should have gone to war against the slaveowners in Maryland and Delaware first if he wanted to claim the high moral ground.
We were not beaten - we were just out numbered
🐴💩
You were, indeed, beaten
@@Realnewjerseyhalloweenman We are still here.
The South was beaten, not because of any strategic plan, they simply wore themselves out whipping the invaders; especially in the Eastern theatre, despite the North having every advantage including inheriting the U.S. navy.
@@Realnewjerseyhalloweenman "You" lost over 300,000 men in battle and to what end? The descendants of the slaves observe Juneteenth not by giving thanks for their sacrifice but with drive-by shootings.
What a great treasure it would be to have a original confederate battle flag. I have seen videos of preserved confederate flags in glass case's. Great history.
I've seen lots of them at the NC Museum of History.
J.E.B.Stuart's battle flag sold for $956,000.
My gggrandpa’s regiment buried their flag under a rock near Appomattox Creek to avoid having to surrender it.
Really interesting and great music choice.
Floyd the barber was always quoting the former president. Andy disagreed with one quote telling Floyd that "Calvin Coolidge didn't say everything"😂
Sensational. That was Gold.Love from Australia.
The horse dance at 4:50 with that music 🎵 was perfect.
Just imagine a ceremony like this today. We wouldn't hear the end of it
thank you
Awesome!
I've noticed in these videos that the common theme is former enemies in their old age come to the realization that war is futile. You see this with all veterans in their twilight years. Few of them harbor the hatred they once had for their counterpart across the battlefield
The stories they could tell......
Love this channel
Meanwhile back in Glasgow Scotland my father was being born on that very day.
Ahh to get my hands on a 1st Texas flag ....
General Hood was not merely a slave owner but a downright racist bigot
Dixie is to be remembered with honor.
There is no honor in a slave culture.
And there is no honor in selective memory.
@@OldHeathen1963Ask China railroad worker’s 😊1870’s❤
I don't think we look for honor in those things, but in other aspects of the war and its time we do find honor. I doubt you would understand that. We do.@@OldHeathen1963
Except for the Slavery part. I hope they regret having been a part of it
They should have freed the Slaves so no honor. Then they turned around and started the KKK.
What is the name of the tune playing in the background?? I used to know but cannot think of it??? BB
Dude, where’s my horse
This brought tears, to my eyes, seeing these GRAND,BRAVE OLD MEN,with CONVICTIONS SO STRONG, they FOUGHT AND (DIED), for them ! GOD BLESS DIXIE. (Got a feelin,some of (MY) FAMILY,are among them), along with 11 / 12,000 other, "AUSSIES", who FOUGHT and DIED there ! 🥺😖😫⛺🐴🏅📯🎺⚰🇦🇺
Love it
Incredible Historical Examples
Beautiful Preserved Material
Some Misinterpretation because of It
But Ultimately a Better outcome in the longrun
Thank You
Also

What The Hell Is Dio Vendice?
DEO VINDICE...is Latin for God as our protector. And was the Confederate motto.
Well at least they weren't sitting on their butts like the modern era
God bless Dixie and General Robert E Lee....
To think President Coolidge was a conservative from Vermont, he was also the governor of Massachusetts before running as Warren Harding's VP in 1920.A true Yankee!Times have changed for sure.
Those are American flags too like the colonial ones that preceded the Stars 'n Stripes. Dixie has its own flag for 11 States +4. Other regions , the West, Midewest, Northeast, New England are just as identifiable and distinct but do not have a unique banner of their own.
DEO VINDICE
DIXIE FOREVER...❤

Yeah, ain't slavery great.
@@rf3495 yeah it’s great when you find out that Kentucky, Delaware and New Jersey *kept their black slaves* after the war, after June 19, and it was President (Andrew) Johnson of Tennessee that signed the 13th amendment into law on December 6th, 1865 😁👏🏾.

As Jonathon Suption said, destroying statues is irrational and absurd
Red legs?yeah.We're going north to put things right...well I guess I'll be going with ya.
God bless Dixie and the Confederacy our Southern heritage 🤠
They took down the Georgia flag at night without my vote. 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
Should never be repeated
I enjoy this music
The war of northern greed.
I don't know where they are now but had they not returned them they would probably have been ceremonially burned today
Your videos have become my go-to when I need a dose of positivity. Thank you for consistently brightening my day.
Proud of my Virginia roots
I love these proud and courageous heroes. They fought to try and protect our southern land, from being destroyed and taken, by an invading enemy. They knew they were vastly outnumbered, and that all the cards were stacked against them. Yet they fought anyway. They held out for four long and brutal years, against an enemy that had every single advantage over them. Including a seemingly neverending supply of men to fight. Along with a seemingly limitless amount of food, supplies and weaponry. Today, these brave and honorable men, are being slandered, and called evil monsters, and every child from day one of starting school, is being bombarded with the lie, that these men were fighting to keep slaves in bondage. Which they are easily buyinh into. Then they are trying to destroy every single bit of history, so that nothing remains, that might have a chance of making any of these young people, second guess what they are being taught. Its disgusting, and Im completely ashamed of how many of us southerners especially, who have sat back, and done nothing to stop this! God bless the memory of each and every single one of these men, who went and fought to protect their families and their homeland. Im not talking about the very small percentage of them, who's goal was to protect slavery. That should be a given.
Well said.
75% of white men in the South served the Confederacy.
Only 50% of white men fought for the Union. The economy north of the Mason-Dixon Line was so poor two thirds of Union soldiers enlisted for the paycheck.
There were Confederste soldiers in prison camps guarded by men who spoke no English. Who were they? Where were they from?
Who were the Wide Awakes and what was their mission?
Small percentage ?
@@rt3box6tx74 2.1 million - Number of Northerners mobilized to fight for the Union army 180,000 - Number of African American soldiers that served in the Civil War. 88% white men
Try doing some History instead of talking about your feelings.
Bet this gripes you Libs.
Define liberalism
@@Realnewjerseyhalloweenman no
Respect all Americans who fought for their home.
Today people are so uneducated, ignorant, and are limited to only social media education. It’s insane people can’t just pick a history book and see over 70% of southerners were not slave owners and fought for patriotism. Also that the Union had slavery legal and had 8 slave states in 1864. Hypocrisy and ignorance
Agreed 💯.... Sadly today history books are rewritten to fit their leftist agenda. The South was fighting the second War for Independence, just like their grandfathers before them....lest we ever forget. Deo Vindice 🇸🇴
Those 70% were suckers for the wealthy slaveowners.
And yet the 54th Massachusetts
@rf3495 Like I said, respect all Americans that fought and died in combat. 54th Massachusetts, 6th Connecticut, 48th New York, 3rd New Hampshire, 76th Pennsylvania, and the 9th Maine regiments all fought on the same battlefield and all suffered heavy casualties. Respect to them all and their opponents defending the fort.
always a dang goodun !
The war in 1861-1865 was only round 1. An overreaching federal government will not last forever. We all applauded when the Soviet Union fragmented. There is no reason to think it can’t happen here.
HUZZAH TO PRESIDENT CALVIN COOLIDGE!!! HUZZAH TO JOHNNY REB!!!
And great clip by the way, very well put together, the music really added to it.
HUZZAH TO BIRDDOGG!!!
These men fought for their homes and families not for slavery as they try to make it today. The North invaded the south and it was not against the constitution to succeed. In fact if the government became tyrannical, it was their duty. Brave confederate heros and should be honored for their courage and dedication. The idea of Federal Government then was a secondary thing it was the state that was THEIR COUNTRY. States rights a key element without federal intervention and heavy taxes against the agricultural South.
Whatever you say. So the south would still have slavery today. Wow.
From the American Revolution to the Civil War and now what?
It appears all is forgiven until the next
battle coming up.
Who would have ever thought that these old films still existed? I really like the song - does anyone know the name of the song?
It’s called, Dude, where’s my horse.
Rest easy, Soldiers of the South
The average Southern soldier fought for the old Constitution and the defense of his State, not slavery. Honor to them. They were right. And when Lee surrendered, any hope of limited Constitutional government died.
Outstanding!! Wish I could shake each one of Thier hands! Hail to the Redskins! Carry on Dixie!!
God save the south! Deo Vindice
Back when you're friends and neighbors knew that certain things are just the way it was all people are the same even if they fought for the wrong side of cause. These people who are involved in wars especially the grunts on the ground are just doing what is best for the family at the time. Better to fight and keep your family alive than to disobey and have your family murdered and you getting shot for not complying to the big army or people in charge. Being dead and having no family or being maimed and no family is worse than not complying and fighting and serving with dignity so your family can live there lives healthier than if you don't. Everyone has had this in place in the countries of the world if you believe it or not. The Germans, Russians, French, British, and even the United States to a lesser extent but never the less bottom line is you are going to serve if they want you to, you are not going to have a choice and if you get one it will not be to your liking guaranteed that to be a fact. Even our government is known to make people disappear and never be ever again for anything that they see fit to do so. Great evening to you all and remember that I didn't mention that another 20+ countries are on this list. Not every nation has our special rights and freedoms to be able to speak up, lobby against or for things and especially the big and best one the second amendment that preserves all the rest and the Constitution of the nation that the rest of the world wish that they have
There was no wrong cause, or wrong side of a cause - there was a difference of opinion on a matter of written law and an unstable man (potus) financed to run for president by foreign industrialists. Their candidate, a non-religious man who used scripture as a tool was elected to lead the nation assisted by terrorist thugs known as the Wide Awake Club.
If there existed an honest high court today economic evidence alone would prove states had a righg to withdraw from an alliance that was controlling their prosperity via over taxation.
When during the campaign of 1860 southern states brought up taxation tyranny they were met with accusations of treason and threatened with invasion.
Before or since 1860 when was there ever a major election when taxation wasn't an important issue? What does your county commissioner's board argue about most? Same with local school board..
It wasn't the Union Lincoln sought to preserve, it was the new Republican Party, a vulnerable institution of European agents of the Rothschild family hellbent on controlling the USA's economy for 150 yrs. The prosperity of the south couldn't be left in the hands of people whose allegiance was first to their religion, then to their family and their state. There was too much opportunity to control (tax) commerce to leave grassroots governance alone to prosper in peace.
❤
I love the confederates. Wish this had sound.
Me too, I have been looking hoping there is a recording of the speech but so far no luck.
I wish I lived in that America.
Heritage! Not hate
Ok…So why didn’t the South Free the Slaves my friend? From what they did to them sounds like a lot of hate.
No it's... it's definitely hate
@@user-ut1en2lt8l So why didn't the North buy back the slaves my friend? It would have been a lot cheaper than getting nearly 700,000 whites killed.
God Bless the South Dio Vindice!
