This likely doesn't belong here, but I feel this would be best appreciated on this board. Caught a chill watching this.

Imagine being a Yank sitting in the darkness and hearing 20,000 pissed off rednecks/hillbillys/coonasses doing it all at once.

Wow, wow, and Wow.
Amazing what we have access to today that was unreachable 15 years ago.
Listen to the audience gasp at this other, almost shocking one.

Some have another name for them. I found it interesting that when they all walked in, they passed through a gauntlet of American flags. BTW, my great great grandfather was a Union soldier from Wisconsin and fought in the Battle of BR, among others. I have read some of the accounts of his regiment, but do not recall comments about being scared off by the rebel yell. I liked the old footage, nonethless.

Whites in the South didn't really acknowledge the American flag until after World War 1 if I remember correctly.

Try us again. I'm sure the figs up north will do quite well throwing their shoes at us and hitting us with their purses.
