The Irish at Gettysburg (Civil Warfare Collection)

On the outbreak of the Civil Warfare, Irish residents on either side of the Mason-Dixon answered the decision to arms. This was most evident on the Battle of Gettysburg.

Louisiana Irish Rebels charged with the cry “We’re the Louisiana Tigers!” Irish troopers of the Alabama Brigade and the Texas Brigade launched assaults on the road’s southern finish at Little Spherical Prime. Throughout Pickett’s Cost, Gaelic brothers fought one another as decided Irishmen of the Sixty-Ninth Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry repelled Irish of the Virginia Brigade in probably the most decisive moments in American historical past. Creator Phillip Thomas Tucker reveals the compelling story.
