Quote to live by

[@juliancaballero49]

This story got really distorted by Yellow Journalism so there is 2 main misconceptions you guys should probably know about: 1. The Battle of San Juan Hill was pretty unimportant, it's just a big deal because Teddy Roosevelt got the victory but otherwise not huge win in the war. 2. The only reason the Rough Riders did not all die in that battle is because the Buffalo Soldiers, a black regiment, were able to flank the Spanish from the other side of the hill (thus the Spanish could't cover both sides and the Rough Riders were able to charge) I'm not crapping on the show I'm actually a big fan just thought people should know because the newspapers of the time distorted the true story

[@pbsamanthamarie]

Ooh there should be an episode on the Buffalo soldiers on that battle!

[@merikano2985]

See? Now the story makes more sense. I'm not knocking Teddy and his troopers but it takes more than balls to take a well-defended hill that the enemy actually ambushed you from. Cheers to the Buffalo Soldiers.

[@Velocispic]

...the entire command moved forward as coolly as though the buzzing of bullets was the humming of bees. White regiments, black regiments, regulars and Rough Riders [i.e. volunteers], representing the young manhood of the North and the South, fought shoulder to shoulder, unmindful of race or color, unmindful of whether commanded by ex-Confederate or not, and mindful of only their common duty as Americans. -"Black Jack" Pershing

[@Starcrash6984]

"Yellow journalism"? Do you understand what you contributed to this video? Point #1 is an opinion -- "important" and "unimportant" are subjective words based on a person's feelings towards something. _I_ personally think that the Battle of San Juan Hill was fairly important, especially since it led to the siege of Santiago, and that put quite a bit of pressure on Spanish surrender. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish%E2%80%93American_War#Land_campaign Point #2 depends on a hypothetical scenario that didn't happen, proposing that the Rough Riders _would have_ died if not for the Buffalo Soldiers, but we'll never know because that never played out to confirm your hypothesis. You seem fairly certain of this belief (to the point of calling this one single factor "the only reason") despite having no evidence for it. It's fine to believe it, but don't call someone's version "yellow journalism" simply because they hold a contrary belief.

@@chainsofdoom3465 It is curious that you say that taking into account that both Cuba and Puerto Rico were given the possibility of self-government a year before the war, in turn the United States had already asked Spain several times to BUY Cuba and Puerto Rico, and then of the war the result was: -Cuba received independence but the United States put a puppet government. -The Philippines was supposed to receive independence but instead the United States decided to keep it, so they had a war that the United States won, although they were given independence in 1946. -Puerto Rico became a colony and still is today.

Thank you for this content. Teddy also recruited former Confederate from Georgia and Northeast Alabama who were in Wheeler's CAV during the civil war . My grandpa's uncle was one of them. On his grave stone at the top at his wish was the term Rough Rider. Many years later I served in the us army and then the Georgia army national guard in the 1st Squadron 108th cav regiment and our lineage was from the 1st volunteer cav. And we were the modern day Taskforce ROUGH RIDERS. We carried that name with pride from the streets of southwest Baghdad to the mountains of Afghanistan.

Dear Drunk History, I have a request - Please do a story on the Buffalo soldiers, who were a big part of winning this battle! Thank you for hearing my request! XOXO

[@cathleencooks748]

Samantha Marie There was an old western tv series called High Chaparral. I believe it was in the second season they did an episode centered around the Buffalo Soldiers. Yaphet Kotto(Homicide, Life On the Streets & Alien) played the commanding officer. You can find it on KZbin. I agree I would love to see an episode about the Buffalo Soldiers.

[@pbsamanthamarie]

@@cathleencooks748 But I was thinking, it may be difficult for them to do a drunk history episode on that, because drunk history is a fun show, and in that early time period, blacks were not treated nicely in general.... So how can they include that part and still keep it fun? It may bring a darker tone.... And if they don't include it, it feels like something is missing when you hear the story.... But I will say, they definitely did a great job on the episode about bringing the first blacks in the all white school. Have you seen that one? I have seen it on youtube but I haven't seen the whole episode.

[@cathleencooks748]

@@pbsamanthamarie Some of their episodes deal with darker moments in history. Watched one a couple of hours ago about the Alamo. They have also tackled The Black Sox scandal, the Haymarket Riots, Martin Luther King vs. J. Edgar Hoover, Giles Corey & The Salem Witch Trials (they pressed him to death by piling heavy stones on him to get him to recant his testimony.) So they have handled serious subject matter sometimes in a light humorous way. Other times more like dark humor. I think the way they could do The Buffalo Soldiers is to just highlight one specific event in their honorable history like their charge up San Juan Hill. It could possibly be handled like this. While the mainly white regiment walked into a trap the African-American regiment smartly went up the side that the Spanish weren't defending. Think humor like in Blazing Saddles one of my favorite comedies.

Fun fact: Roosevelt spent the rest of his life criticizing the efforts of black soldiers in the battle, claiming he saw them running away from the front line as he led the charge. What he didn't realize is that they'd charged ahead of him, run out of ammo, and were running back to resupply.

[@chainsofdoom3465]

The whole point of charging is to risk your life, use up all your ammo, and use bayonets as a final resort. Returning down the hill would just nullify the whole reason they charged UP the hill in the first place.

Following the Spanish surrender in Santiago, the US Forces were hit hard with a Pandemic. In despiration, COL Theodore Roosevelt wrote a letter to the Secretary of the Army requesting that the Soldiers of Fifth Corps be sent back to the US before the pandemic decimates the army. The letter is leaked to the press but the ships arrived and the Soldiers returned to the US to recover. Later in 2020, the CAPT of the USS Theodore Roosevelt wrote a similar letter to the Secretary of the Navy due a Pandemic quickly spreading through the ship. Like COL Roosevelt, his letter is also leaked to the press. But rather than providing assistance, acting Secretary of the Navy removed the Skipper from command and then berated the Sailors aboard the ship. History has a way of repeating itself, but with stupid results.
