Understanding the Confederate “Rebel Yell”

Waite Rawls, the President and the CEO of the Museum of the Confederacy, has done an excellent job of preserving and helping the understanding of the mindset of the short-lived Confederacy.  Below are two clips of the research on their part on what the Confederate “Rebel Yell” sounds like.  Again, I appreciate what Rawls has done to help us understand this important turning point in our American history.  In listening to this, you can understand how horrifying this sound would be to Union troops who came against them in battle.
