As requested by @Homosexuality Is Gay on the UMF discord server.
"The Irish Volunteer" is a song honoring the 'Fighting 69th' Irish Brigade, a legendary infantry unit composed of Irish-Americans that fought for the Union during the American Civil War. The brigade played a major role in several major battles such as Antietam, and the volunteers suffered some of the highest casualties of the war.

Jonathan Wells Well to be fair, between those two options I would like to believe everyone would want to fight for their new home. And don’t get me wrong or anything, I was only making a joke about the situation. But none of the immigrants coming to America at that time should’ve been sent into a war they knew barely anything about. It’s sad that it did happen but America wouldn’t be the same if they didn’t join in the war.

Remember that the Irish volunteers fought for a country that did not particularly welcome or like them. They proved themselves in the heat of battle; no one can argue that they were ferocious and fierce in a fight. The Irish earned their place in the USA with their blood. As an Irish descendent, I'm so proud of my history.

They fought for a country that hated their guts. They were treated just slightly better than free black people were. Which is to say, atrociously. Sure, they (the men) could vote and run for office, but prejudice against them in employment, housing, and places of public accommodations (think stores, restaurants, theaters, etc.) was perfectly legal and widely practiced.

@@kenlandon6130 yes and no, those issues did notably decrease in just a decades time, most of the American ire moved from the Irish to both black and asian folk. Even in the south with politicians who succeeded, they saw the Irish more as a vital tool to keep black voters and political challengers to the white dominated government. Sure they still hated them, and the KKK killed irish catholics just like black men. But compared to other foreign groups, the Irish were basically seen as brothers by the end of war, in the north more so.

@Collin Vail May Erin's harp and the starry flag united ever be! Is probably my favorite just for how it reflects on how multinational American patriotism used to be back then, although "The devil take the nobility says the Irish Volunteers" is a close second just for how it illustrates one of the major common threads between America and Irishmen.

It's always a great honour to welcome our American brothers.

This is one of my favorite songs, and it has a very important message. No true American is xenophobic of other cultures, races or people. Nobody is saying other peoples can't retain their heritage either, it gives the US flare. But other peoples need to love this land as their new home. Show America even more loyalty, pride, and devotion than even their homelands.

People forget what the American Civil War was about to the men who sang this song. That the idea of a democratic republic, governed by the people and for the people, should not perish from this earth, that despite what the patricians of the old Europe might say, that such republics could defend themselves from traitors and those who sought to destroy the ideal of human brotherhood and liberty. Blessed be their memory, and long live the United States of America, for all its flaws and crimes.

Irish-American soldiers drew some of the clearest parallels between their fight for the Union and the struggle for liberty in the old country. An Irish-born carpenter, a private in the 28th Massachusetts of the famous Irish Brigade, angrily rebuked both his wife in Boston and his father-in-law back in Ireland for questioning his judgment in fighting for the Black Republican Lincoln administration. “This is my country as much as the man who was born on the soil,” he wrote in 1863. “I have as much interest in the maintenance of . . . the integrity of the nation as any other man. . . . This is the first test of a modern free government in the act of sustaining itself against internal enemys . . . if it fail all tyrants will succeed the old cry will be sent forth from the aristocrats of europe that such is the common lot of all republics. . . . Irishmen and their descendents have . . . a stake in [this] nation. . . . America is Irlands refuge Irlands last hope destroy this republic and her hopes are blasted.” A year later he too was killed in action. Another Irish-born soldier, a sergeant in the 2nd New Jersey, gave this argument a different twist. After he and his brother had been in the army for about a year, their mother rued the day they had enlisted. He told her curtly that “you are not a fit subject to live in a free and prosperous country. Ireland is the place for those who possess such sentiments-there is where the iron heel of despotism grinds the Patriot heart.” James McPherson "For Cause and Comrades"

Hemanth Nair - And, lest it be conveniently forgotten, a fair number of Irish slaves were shipped to Brazil and other Latin and South American nations...and some Irish also came to America as slaves and indentured servants. When those that fought in the civil war made their commitments to fight for freedom, it was for their own freedom, for Ireland, and for all others still enslaved in this land. It was for the principle of liberty itself that all are created equal and that liberty belongs to each and every human being as an inherent right. Approximately 65% of the originators of the groundbreaking U.S. Constitution were Scottish and Irish Americans...because this fight for freedom arose through generations upon generations who understood the value of and willingly paid the price for liberty in blood.

@15 is legal In Europe the hell they were. The Irish Brigade was organized by Major General Thomas Francis Meagher in late 1861. It was comprised of these units: 69th New York infantry, 63rd New York infantry, 88th New York infantry, 28th Massachusetts infantry, 116th Pennsylvania infantry. There were Irish units that did fight for the confederacy true enough. Such as the men who held the part of the stonewall at Fredericksburg which was the part attacked by Meagher's men. They were led by southern general Thomas Cobb. The tune that this song is set to is known as the "Irish Jaunting Car". It also served as the basis for another popular tune with the rebs called the "bonnie blue flag". That is where I presume your assumption that they were rebs comes from.

The generalist histories I have read seem to dismiss him as a coward or undecisive, usefull in training up an army but not a fighter. I allways guessed he wanted a decisive single defeat he could only get with full preperation (Schwartzkopf in the first Gulf War, not Franks in the second?-- no disrespect to either), and that less wasted lives on both sides would make peace easier to negotiate. I certainly see how soldiers would appreciate a commander who does not rercklessly through them into battles of quesionable effect. Admittedly, with some exertion, I could probably find his writing (he even ran for president) and really find out, but I have always thought he had to have a rational justification, right or wrong.

One of the more fierce groups the 69th had to face a few times during the war was the Louisiana Tigers, a group comprised by Cajuns, Creoles, and a significant chunk of Irish, and were also known for their ferocity and rowdiness on and off the battlefield, like one instance where they ran out of ammo and resorted to literally throwing rocks at Union soldiers to drive them to retreat. Despite the different causes, the former enemies would fight side by side in future conflicts like World War I and the Gulf War. God bless the Union!

The melody from the "Irish Volunteer" was adapted from the traditional Irish folk song called "The Irish Jaunting Car"- with new lyrics to fit the occasion. Interestingly, in the days of very weak (if any) copyright laws, the same melody was adapted to become"The Bonnie Blue FLag" of the CSA. Again, the lyrics were changed- for obvious reasons.

Yes, because the Northern Irish definitely want to be in the ROI. Get your head out your ass and realize the truth of the world. Do you like tyranny? Do you want to oppress people, because when you say Northern Ireland should be in the ROI that is basically what your saying.

@Long Live Rhodesia No, the French kicked us out our prisoner colony in America. You forget that the UKs army was all in Europe fighting on the homefront against France. Without French help the US wouldn't of won its independence and ultimately the Napoleonic Wars was the only reason the UK signed for peace with the US. If the Napoleonic Wars didnt happen or ended earlier the UK would've actually been able to spare resources to what was at the time an unimportant war. Don't forget the time your country tried to rob the freedom and liberty of Canada when you attempted to conquer it in 1812 and Britain taught you a lesson by burning down Washington DC, yeah you dont bring that up huh?

Thomas Meagher, famed commander of the Irish Brigade. Quite a story- after '48, the redcoats shipped him off to Tasmania, figuring it was about as far from the old sod as they could possibly get him. No fellow rebels to support him. Well, he got out anyway, ended up in New York, and led the Brigade pretty damn well for several years, even if seemingly every general in blue complained that they were a discipline nightmare.

The original Irish Brigade consisted of the 63rd, 69th, and 88th New York, all Irish. The 29th Massachusetts (not Irish) was added for awhile but was replaced by the 28th Massachusetts (Irish). Finally the 116th Pennsylvania (Irish) was added. Thomas Meagher (who deserves his own movie) was commander for most of its life.

Thomas Meagher also designed the Irish National Tricolour flag. Check out the movie "God's & Generals" it shows Meagher briefly and depicts the Irish Brigade at Fredericksburg. Also I would recommend the book "Green,Blue and Grey-The Irish in the American Civil War" by Cal McCarthy.There is a very good book about the Irish Brigade with great photo's of monuments at Antietam and Gettysburg and wonderful artwork. I forget the name and author but I have it somewhere in my attic. The Irish Brigade was awarded 6 MOH and 89 Irishmen were awarded in total.
