Another post said essentially that a museum is the only place to display General Lee. Using that logic, I would say that a museum is the only place to display Martin Luther King's historical information. General Lee IS THE GREATEST AMERICA of all time. Every city in America should have a statue of the general. First, he was adamantly opposed to slavery. He provided for the freeing of ALL his slaves using the only available method allowed at the time before the War in Democratic slave states. He went to USMA and did not receive 1 demerit. He fought bravely in the Mexican-American War. He was offered command of ALL US forces at the beginning of the War Between the States. He only turned it down because he said, "I can not fight against my own kin in Virginia." After the War, he worked tirelessly to bind the wounds between North and South. He instituted the finest honor code ever at then Washington College (now Washington and Lee University) where he was president after the War until his death in 1870. Read about General Lee in his own words and you will get to know a man admired by friend and enemy alike.

Thank you so much for the information, I will be going to the Dominican Republic really soon and this helped me plan the perfect itinerary!

I’m not sure the Scots-Irish moniker is right in a sense. These people were Scottish not Irish. Or perhaps Ulster-Scottish is more appropriate?

Cherokee is a made up tribe.

I do not have Native DNA. However, my 3 children do as noted by their DNA test and family stories. Their paternal, great grandfather was a frenchman from Quebec area and came down the Mississippi and married a Native woman early on. I have no idea what tribe that would be. Research would have to be done to determine that.

GOD SAVE THE KING 👑

I’m about 20% English according to my DNA results. I’m also about 20% Spanish (Spain). Both of these small countries had empires , both spread their languages, culture, Christianity, even here in the United States, you can see both of their influences in the names of cities, towns, rivers, languages etc. I’m damn proud of that. I’m proud I’m from all of that strong gene pool! 🇺🇸🇬🇧🇪🇸

This is something that descendants of one of my mother's GGFs argue about to this day. Some descendants even tried to gain admittance into the Cherokee tribe when the land was being given out to them in the 1880s, etc. They were denied as my ancestor was not on the Cherokee Rolls prior to leaving the South. The amount of people who continue to believe this and argue about it to this day is crazy. I see this all the time about the Cherokee princess ancestor. Interestingly, it is never a Cherokee prince, lol. I have included all the information about the claims in my genealogy but do not put anything about a "Cherokee princess" in my pedigree. For one thing, THERE IS NO PROOF!. Kernels of truth sometimes come down through family lore but in the end you have to prove it. It doesn't disappoint me that I'm don't have Cherokee blood. I even argued with a cousin about this. She said "you can just look at my grandmother and see it"! This is why a lot of times I just go my own way in my research. It's preferable to butting my head against a brick wall.

I hear this from other parts of the country as well, not just in the south. Of course, two of my grandparents claimed to have NI heritage, one claimed Cherokee, but no princesses. However, the one most likely was one of my great grandmothers. She always claimed to have Comanche. Unfortunately, I only saw her twice as a small child, and did not know at that time to ask such questions. All of her family/relatives lived in McCurtain County, OK in the Choctaw Nation. I have not progressed very far in searching for records, especially while living abroad. I found the name of one of her ancestors on the Dawe's list as a Creek, but cannot verify if the correct one. Seems odd that she would be part Comanche living in the Choctaw Nation. All of my ancestors were in the US in the late 1600s, or early 1700s, and many lived in different areas of Native American nations. I don't know why my great-grandmother would claim to be Comanche at that time period unless it were true. There was much negativity at that time towards the Comanche. Wish I could go back in time to ask her the right questions. I can only remember her cows/horses, and that I loved brushing her long hair at night when she unbraided it. I have one ancestor who was a govt scout who came with Oglethorpe. The scout knew Chief McIntosh, but there were not tales of marriage passed down from that ancestral line.

Also you don't get all of your mother and father's DNA. You only get portions.

My mom's side of the family is as Irish as you can get. Her mother was born in Scotland to Irish parents and her father's family was from Ireland. I did a DNA test and 100% of the DNA I got from my Mom was Irish. My Uncle Mike did a test and his came back like 98% Irish. I guess our family never left the island, until the late 1800s. My Dad's family was from Italy, but that half of my DNA was only 38% Italian. The rest was broadly Mediterranean (Greece, Albania, Cyprus, Aegean Islands)

Iroquois was not a tribe but a confederacy, lol.

Who the hell gonna listen to a god dam Cave man

Grand parents on both sides ..Born in Co.Clare and in Armagh.. my Parents met in NYC.. in Irish neighborhood. We celebrate our heritage as Irish. Am I irish? Duh!

Yeah, my grandfather was born in Ireland and I am in the process of applying for dual citizenship (USA. Ireland). My mother is a first generation American. I am absolutely not Cherokee.

In my family (as in many others), there is a 'old-wives-tale' family myth or legend, where the story goes that (distant female ancestor) was a native american princess, who was exiled for marrying a white man (rather than bringing the white man into the tribe) - but then, when you go to look up the geneology (both named, and genetically) there is no evidence for it. Not even visuals (any sort of photographic evidences) would correlate or correspond to such 'backyard myths', and instead you find something else, something unexpected, such as jewish or turkic or middle-eastern in the mix.

I visit here often. My ancestors fought here and Boonesboro, their names are on the monument. It’s awesome to know my ancestors walked these grounds and paved the way to Kentucky though it’s sad the way it happened with the Native Americans, it was their land. My ancestors were called the axe men or tree cutters, they went ahead first a literally cut a path

My grandma grew up on the res and was 11 or 12 years old before she saw the first white man

If it’s too far back for a dna test then why do they say they went back an connected everyone to one woman from Africa thousands of years ago ?

My sister is Cherokee, no matter what the DNA says The rest of us are 93% white

springfield illinois and springfield souther ohio its where chrisbailey was born from

Interesting! I have many ancestors from Casey and Adair Counties.

According to my mother, her grandma was Cherokee and her skin was so dark that a woman once asked her if she was black. But I’m not so sure if that’s true.

I am Irish as my 6th great gpa immigrated from Donegal somewhere between 1755-1785 because he was born in 1755 and married a woman in Virginia in 1785. His name was Arthur Hawhee and from what I found he was an Ulster (clan?)

Your lost cause theory is very interesting, In my humble opinion I agree with it, but interesting it for what ever reason it doesn’t apply to the Jews.

Interesting 😊

Great job I'm from Pittsburgh and I do know a lot of the history but this really helped

Mooney and Cherokee that is me 😂

My situation is a little different. I had no idea I had Irish ancestry until I underwent DNA testing. The verdict? At least 23% Irish, possibly more!

The ýanky is 100 pc anglo saxon dabish gernanic huna who ribbed the land from nstive Indians by genicide attempts but tgey where not frim engkish stols britain frim Celts

Probably Ulster Scott

Great video, thank you! My Irish mom would play this song for me and I was wondering about that statue. Looks like Molly had the best clam.

😮🤣🤣🤣 PRETENDIANS! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretendian Elizabeth Warren, Rachel Dolezal, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Beyonce?, Ward Churchhill and millions of Hipsters, College Professors, activists, posers and attention seekers who DESPERATELY want to be "Cool". This is "Genetic Stolen Valor". 😡

Build your tree and do a DNA test.

May i suggest that there is another reason for affinityfor Confederacy

Mostly only names

It’s difficult to prove in genetic tests unless you have significant spread of genetic testing…,

?

This applies to me lol. At first i thought i was a quater irish, then a little less since i found out i also had english ancestors. And now that i have been working on my familyl tree, it seems i may only be around 3-8% irish 😅. I geuss i might as well do a DNA test to see for sure

No I'm Not Cherokee my ancestors were Muscogee Creek Tribe. There were many Tribes from the Gulf areas.

I am a descendant of some "Shanty Irish" who lived in the Point neighborhood back when it was essentially an Irish Catholic slum. I have visited Point State Park many times as a child but feel like I learned more about the history of the site from this video than my visits there and the educational resources that existed there at the time. Great job!

Hate speech

You are white men, my grand mother was Cherokee.spoke the language. Maybe you dont have the dna. But i do also apache.

I do .. my Great Great Grandpa (I have photos) was full blooded. I’ve been doing ancestry and getting dna tested for 100% sure.

I have a black American friend and he discovered his DNA linked back to Richard 3rd, the House of York. So its not just white people who discover this.

Thanks for your mythology. But, there is another reason for the connection to being Cherokee that I won’t discuss on here but I know to be true and I know that connects us.

So, I would have 6.25% in my bloodline. On my Grandma side. I had a photograph of her picture and her husband. And her daughter and her husband. They were the parents of my grandmother. I guess that the photograph went back to the civil war. My Brother had the Pictures and I don’t know what has happened to them. He has passed away now.

“No you are not Irish” meanwhile your name is Nail Devlin and both of your parents were born in Ireland but met in America. Definitely not Irish. How could “Nail Devlin” with a full Irish bloodline with parents that speak Gaelic be Irish, how could he possibly claim he Irish. TONS of the Irish stories, myths, history left Ireland when millions of people left Ireland and they came to North and South America. We know our history because our relatives were there during history. Because an American goes and live in a different country, he isn’t qualified for to speak on his native country where his relatives lived for 100s of years? He has to live in America to talk about it? So dumb.

One of the best Fort Pitt videos I’ve seen. Thank you!

A lot of natives used and still use animal manure (horse, cow, sheep) for firing pottery which makes it hot enough to melt things. sometimes reaching over 2000 degrees F. That may be what they used.
