Spent a lot of time in Southie as a kid back in the 80's and 90's. RIP HUB Video, Slocum's and The Fish Pier. You are missed.

The US Civil War was the first US war that the segregated 2nd class citizen Irish immigrants fought in. The Massachusetts segregated Irish regiment, was just one of many northern states Union Army Irish regiments which made up the famed segregated Union Army Irish Brigade. 180,000 men at their peak. Their ranks were decimated during the Civil War, because it was convenient and easy to put a segregated 2nd class citizen Irish regiment at the front of the attacks on Johnny Reb. The Irish never refused an order and would not retreat unless ordered to do so. That was when the Union army commanders started calling them "the fighting Irish." There is a Union Army Civil War memorial in South Boston, in remembrance of the Irish soldiers who fought and died in that war. It is the first of US war memorials the fiercely patriotic immigrants in Southie fought in for every war since the Civil War for their new country, the USA. Southie has the first Vietnam War memorial in the USA, predating the big memorial in DC. South Boston lost 25 young men in combat in Vietnam, more than any other US community of it's size, of about 35,000 people at that time. I think it would be more than appropriate to have a bigger public memorial in the downtown area for the Irish veterans of all of the wars of the USA that these Irish American US citizens fought in. Boston was always an "Irish city", with a long history of great Irish people, families, politicians, athletes, educators, religious clergy, etc. These Irish peasants who fled starvation and landed in Boston, dirt poor, starving and destitute. They made Boston the great city it became.

I was born and raised in Southie. This is such a nice comment you left ☘️
@carlomiller1984 Жыл бұрын
@@SM-oj6sg Thank you. I lived in Southie for 20 years. I moved there when I was 20 years old to get better employment. My mother was from Boston, so I had a lot of family there. Great town Southie was. But I went back there to visit a couple of years ago, and I couldn't find any of my old friends or anyone else I knew. All I saw was a lot of rich yuppies. It might've just as well have been Beacon Hill. These yuppies are not having families and they are too chickenshit to protect their own neighborhoods to keep it safe for the kids to play outside, like we used to do. It's not the vibrant, very active family-oriented community as it was. The wealthy "gentrification yuppies" bought Southie right out from under the long-time working renting families, who were forced to move [displaced] because they couldn't afford the new extremely high rents that these greedy filthbags are charging and getting. All we have now is memories and nostalgia and stories of the past.
