The Bonnie Blue Flag - From - The Horse Soldiers

Al Sharpton's fave song.

I love my Dixie Boys

That would have been a story those young kids would have told their Grandchildren. Amazing.

Mississippi campaign was challenging enough without having to babysit some jjohnny rebs

Not one of my favorite John Wayne movies. He was a complete jerk in this one.

This event really happened.what price liberty. This is the main reason I am against the federal government and civil rights. Long live states rights and the confederacy.

Alas a lot of boys under age fought in that war especially on the confiderate side.

haha yankees run every time.

A great scene from a great movie! Cheers from Australia.

Great scene; almost makes you forget they were fighting to preserve slavery.

American Madrasa 1864. And why does "Fire Peter" always get edited out? Too religious?

Im Film lustig.........in der Realität Traurig. Denn auch in Deutschland haben sich ähnliche Szenen 1945 ereignet...........die Gegner waren zumeist weniger rücksichtsvoll zu den tapferen Kindern!

There are many informed comments here but also a lot of nonsense posted by people who have watched 2 Civil War movies and a episode
on the History Channel and think they know all about the Civil War. You can recognize a man's service in battle but that doesn't
mean the Cause he served wasn't rotten and shameful. Bobby Lee and the rest were traitors, who inflicted more harm, death and
horror on the American people than all our other wars put together.
The Southern "aristocrats" wanted to hold on to slavery, period. This garbage about states rights was a full on propaganda war
waged by the defeated after the war ended as the elites responsible realized History would brand them and all the churches that
were full on complicit with them as traitors and trash, who whored their values and faith in service to a Slave State that on a
practical everyday basis operated as a police state.
As for Lee, the Saint of the South, who obtained his wealth thru marriage, when his wife's dad died he was directed in the will
to free the slaves that were bequeathed to her. He kept them, which was a crime in any court, even in Virginia.
So he stole the enslaved people's rightful liberty from them, as well as stealing expensive "property" - as they were termed -
from the estate. In other words he was a criminal and a felon, a thief of the worst kind.
No surprise there, if he could betray his oath to the constitution, what's a little thieving and denying your father in law's
dying wish to make amends to his enslaved victims, by freeing them.
John Ford in The Horse Soldiers did a excellent job telling a fictional story, incorporating actual events like Grierson's Raid
and the brave VMI boys at the Battle of New Market. So thanks for sharing this clip Scifier939.

Isn’t that march banned in the U.S. of A. now?

VMI Young W.S. Good Movie.

Let us keep in mind that they were fighting an insurrection, they were not heroes, they were criminals & traitors……. May god bless all the fallen souls 🙏

My favorite John Wayne film and my favorite scene!

How much is true and how much was Hollywood. The Civil War was no laughter matter,thousands were killed on both sides.

Truly one of my favorite scenes.

Part of your past honor all

This is heartbreaking.

I like the movie ---and in this movie --it is the most "peacefull battle" that a John Wayne movie made --So I think------I think with his movie --and this clip --he tries to get a the UNITED STATES together--hope someone joyns my opinion --ICH BIN DEUTSCHER --tue rollf

Sad they dont make movies like this anymore ..

One thing John Wayne doesn't get credit for is he was a real rider and he looked like a million bucks on a horse.

They're desperate They're sending in kids

Noticed the school had 2 cannons
The cadets rifles
They would have been seized by the south and given to combat units

If you don’t like
John Duke Wayne leave the country 👉

They shoh' had purty tunes in the War of Southern Insurrection...

Man ... look at the precision with which those kids march. Damn. There is no way that they weren't using kids from an actual military academy. Even over grass - those kids got into step and stayed there. Unless you've tried to do that - you just cannot appreciate how hard that is.

Damn but those kids were good.

They shouldn't have cut the woman hauling her boy out of formation - and him climbing out his window and running off. That's the kid that gets spanked.

“The rebels have now in their ranks their last man. The little boys and old men are guarding prisoners, guarding railway bridges, and forming a good number of their garrisons in entrenched positions. A man lost by them cannot be replaced. They have robbed the cradle and the grave equally to get their present force. Besides what they lose in frequent battles and skirmishes they are now losing in desertions and other causes at least on regiment per day.”- Lieutenant-General Ulysses S. Grant, August 1864.

Hurrah! Hurrah!
For Southern rights, hurrah!
Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star!

Brave but folly...

In an outtake, the woman who comes out of her house looking so concerned while the cadets are marching is the mother of one of them She pleads with the colonel/reverend not to put her young son into battle as he is all she has left after having lost her husband and older son in the war. The colonel orders the boy out of the ranks but he is mortified and is no coward! He shortly sneaks away from his mother and is the cadet with the drum who is “taken prisoner” and spanked by the Union soldier. This is why he seems to appear out of nowhere in advance of his fellow cadets in the rear of the union column.

Only John Ford can make a movie like that.

I can't speak to any sort of realism in this film, but those kids must have been having the time of their lives. I mean, going on a cavalry charge with John Wayne himself? probably the dream of every boy back then.

Battle of New Market. Cadets put in the line. Area now known as the field of lost shoes. Cadets were always issued grown man shoes. Their field of battle was very wet and soggy. The mud pulled their shoes off. They acquitted them selves well. There is a tv movie about them.

All do with respect to your presence Mame I'm going to get the hell out of here. Bugler sound recall.

Brave boys

Great flick based on Grierson's Raid. No doubt the most lavish & realistic portrayal of the Civil War up to that time with many impressive, evocative scenes, hampered only a little by a contrived & unnecessary romance. It was made & released as a lead-up to the Civil War Centennial, only about a year or so away.

"Spank Him!" 😂

'my oldest boy here is only 16' if he's as big as a Minie rifle he's good in my book.

I saw this when I was younger and could never remember the movie. Thanks for uploading this classic

The fighting spirit of the South has no age.

still brings chills up my spine. You may destroy the monuments but you can't destroy history.
