Great video. I love Metairie Cemetery. My grave is in that old Chapel directly across from the Army of Tennessee tomb.

[@Voo504Doo]

I drive by this everyday never been in lol I’m from Metairie thanks for showing this

[@glennrishton5679]

A question for you. Some years ago there was the Museum of the Confederacy on Camp street very close to the WWII museum but last time I was in NOLA it seems to be gone. What happened to it? Political Correctness?

[@annmcgehee1728]

Very interesting, didn’t know anything about this cemetery! Thank you so much!

[@NH1969GOAT]

What a trove of Confederate memories, would love to visit!

[@jimminshall7449]

Super cool video Garry! We were there a couple of years ago. I asked if they could open the gate so we could see P G T Beauregard’s tomb but they said only family is allowed access. The Army of Northern Virginia tomb is cool too and there’s also the huge monument to the Washington Artillery. Jim Garrison of JFK assassination fame is also buried there.

[@footballnick2]

The Army of Tennessee tomb where Beauregard is buried is in much better shape than the ANV. I've been inside (I know the people with access to it), there's over 120 men in there. Cuthbert Slocomb, commander of the 5th company Washington Artillery, is buried not far from the WA monument as well as the ANV tomb.

In 1855, Stonewall Jackson began teaching Sunday school classes to slaves in Lexington, a violation of Virginia’s segregation laws. Slaves came to know him through these classes and sometimes begged him to buy them. In 1906, long after Jackson’s death, Reverend L. L. Downing, whose parents had been among the slaves in Jackson’s Sunday school, raised money to have a memorial window dedicated to him in the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church of Roanoke, Virginia-likely making “Stonewall” the only Confederate general to have a memorial in an African American church.

Wonderful story, for me one of the great tragedies of any loss of life during war, is not only is their life taken away from them but their individual story, the narrative becomes whatever the wider context was, thank you for relaying one of them.

[@liberalman8319]

That’s false such classes were common. These tales spread to make Jackson seem saintly.

Beautiful

[@SouthernGentleman]

They really should have confederate General Beauregard because he was a great engineer for the city of New Orleans and he lost his fortune fighting against segregation

[@liberalman8319]

Longstreet fought against segregation and the south tried to write him out of their history .

[@USMC-Veteran73-77]

Stonewall Jackson from West Virginia. A monument of General Jackson is on the Capitol Grounds of West Virginia. I'm sure someday, it will be removed.

[@ReadyForSummerNow]

I’d bet Stonewall would think a statue is a form of Idolatry and would be happy if they took it down.

[@USMC-Veteran73-77]

@William no idea what he would wanted. We are very proud of Stonewall Jackson. West Virginia was a Border State during the Civil War. Some brothers fought against each other. West Virginia had people who fought in the Confederacy, and some people fought for the Union. My people fought for the Union Army. To this day, you see places in West Virginia that fly the "Stars and Bars" of the Confederate.

[@SouthernGentleman]

@@ReadyForSummerNow No because people don’t worship him as a deity

[@SouthernGentleman]

It shouldn’t. Jackson was a U.S. Mexican American war veteran, a great military teacher, a great military officer, a respectful man in society, had negative views about slavery, and illegally taught slaves how to read. Stonewall Jackson is the only confederate General to have a memorial in an African American church. We live in a great age of ignorance where people get their education from an app.

[@Ettrick8]

@@SouthernGentleman such a pity that he took up arms to protect slavery

[@Baboulinet29]

very interesting, i play every week a game about the "secesion's war" called "War of Rights". We create a french regiment the 10th Lousiania, and we will try to do a reconstitution of the battle of Shiloh next week, a very good game, not expensive. i respresent the "Lee french legion" as artillery sergent ;) if you can put french subtittles, i could advise that channel to my friends (with the automatic translate, there are some mistakes like in this one, for the the general Beauregard, called pierre Gustavo in the subtittles XD)
