LEGENDS OF THE OLD WEST | Texas Rangers Ep1 - “Civil War”

LEGENDS OF THE OLD WEST presented by Black Barrel Media. In the spring of 1861, it becomes clear America is headed for civil war. Texas Rangers Ben McCulloch, Henry McCulloch, John S. “Rip” Ford, and Lawrence Sullivan Ross join the Confederate army. They have four vastly different experiences, highlighted by the second major battle of the war, Sherman’s capture of Atlanta, and the final battle of the war.

You are wrong about SFA establing the first colony in Texas That honor goes to my great grandfather 7x removed Antonio Girl Y' Barbo when he established the oldest town in Texas... Nacogdoches

Does anyone know why the stars are upside down on Quanah Parker’s house?

[@nanavango9374]

How can a star be upside down? Parker painted the stars on his roof because he learned that only generals had stars in the US Army.

[@NickT1861]

@@nanavango9374 But their stars aren’t upside down. It must have been deliberate. Did the man himself have anything to say about it?

[@nanavango9374]

God bless the Confederates!

[@SPDDFL]

Why?

[@dwdorris3048]

@@SPDDFLbecause they fought and lost. They were then offered an opportunity to be part of the US again and they did. The north could have hung em all. The south could have waged a gorilla war for years more. But instead enough on both sides had enough dignity and wisdom to realize in real time….. HOW TO BEHAVE.

[@gregoryc9087]

@@SPDDFL You’re a slave now to the federal government basically a tax slave. and blacks fill the prison system. We live in an anti white homosexual supporting system that prefers illegal immigrant labor moving to a 1 party system. It’s getting better right? What are you asking? Which system is better? the Confederate one with 100% European representation and support of values and culture. Go ask African slave holders why their product wasn’t designed right. Not us.

Yeah they’re in hell right now. Shout out to the North! We taught those rebels who’s boss.
