This is a British song from around the 1860s or 1870s about a ship running the blockade to gather a cotton shipment from Charleston.

This is an Ulster Loyalist song about the River Boyne, which was the site of the Battle of The Boyne on the 1st of July, 1690 O. S. (11th of July, 1690 N. S.) in which the forces of King William III of Orange defeated the Jacobite forces of King James II.

The battle was a crucial moment in the Nine Years' War in Ireland, for it broke the Jacobites. Though the war in Ireland continued until October 1691, the Battle of The Boyne effectively crushed the Jacobites, James II fled to France after the battle, never to return.

The battle is commemorated by Loyalists in Ireland, especially amongst Ulster Loyalists and the Orangemen. The battle took place on the 1st of July in the Julian Calendar, the calendar system used in England until 1752, which corresponds to the 11th of July in the Gregorian Calendar. I decided to use the 1st of July date as was reckoned at the time of the battle.

This is an Ulster Loyalist song about the Ulster Volunteer Force, of which there have been two versions - the original UVF comprised of Unionist militias established in 1913, and which served in WWI, and the Loyalist paramilitary set up in 1966.

Ulster Loyalism is a variation of British nationalism which considers Northern Ireland as being a rightful part of the UK.

A song about the Last Stand of the Shangani Patrol, which took place during the night of the 3rd to the 4th of December, 1893, during the First Matabele War.

After their crushing defeat at the Battle of Bembezi on the 1st of November, the Matabele fled northwards. They were pursued by forces of the British South African Company under the command of Major Forbes.

Forbes sent a patrol of 37 men under the command of Major Allan Wilson to scout on the other side of the Shangani River for the Matabele. The Shangani Patrol had an American tracker called Frederick Burnham, who had served as a tracker to the Apache Wars, amongst their number.

On the night of the 3rd of December, 1893 the Shangani Patrol were ambushed by 3,000 Matabele warriors. They assembled their horses in a circle and sang "God Save the Queen", before fighting to the last man. 34 of the 37 men fell, including Allan Wilson. Frederick Burnham survived, and in 1896 would serve with Robert Baden-Powell, the father of the Scouting Movement, during the Second Matabele War. The 37 men of the Shangani Patrol took down around 500 Matabele warriors during their stand.

In 1894, the Matabele were finally defeated, and the First Matabele War was a decisive victory for the BSAC. Cecil Rhodes would later establish Northern and Southern Rhodesia.

The stand has been called Britain's equivalent of the Battle of Little Bighorn or the Battle of the Alamo. It immediately entered into the national consciousness of Britain and Rhodesia. The 3rd of December became a public holiday in Rhodesia in 1895, which continued in 1920, when Shangani Day became a national non-work day.

This is a song of the M Battalions (the M standing for "Mussolini") were an elite special forces unit of Italian Blackshirts during World War II.

They were created during World War II, in October 1941 as a transformation and strengthening of the assault and mountain battalions of the Milizia Volontaria per la Sicurezza Nazionale (MVSN; Blackshirts) which had particularly distinguished themselves in combat.

The first "M" battalions were those coming from the Galbiati Group (VIII of Varese, the XVI of Como and the XXIX of Arona), veterans of the Battle of Marizai, and the battalions of the 15th Assault Legion CC.NN. "Lioness" (XIV of Bergamo and XV of Brescia), mentioned in the war bulletin №248 of 10 February 1941, followed by other assault battalions always distinguished in war actions.

To further improve their war efficiency, the "M" battalions were subjected to special training courses at the "Campo Battaglioni M" in Rome-Trastevere, and were classified in the "M" Battalion Inspectorate of MVSN, who supervised the training and managed the replacement flow.

For operational use the "M" battalions were usually assigned directly to the dependencies of the Corps of the Army, with general reserve functions and from these reassigned in support of units engaged in particularly demanding actions. They were employed mainly in the Russian campaign, in the Greco-Italian war and for the planned invasion of Malta.

With the fall of the Fascist regime, on 25 July 1943, the XVI Battaglione "M" of Como, marching on Rome, he was stopped not far from the capital following an order given by the head of S.M. of the Militia, general Enzo Emilio Galbiati.

The same "M" Division received the order between 25 and 26 July to continue the training activity. On September 8, the departments deployed north of the peninsula, in France and the Balkans largely adhered to the newborn Italian Social Republic, like those landed in Corsica they partly cooperated with the fascists and the Germans.

The departments passed to the RSI were absorbed by the National Republican Army excluding the 1st Battalion "IX Settembre" which, established in September 1943 in Toulon, fought in Italy in various locations, also participating in the conflict of the landing of Anzio and on the eastern front.

This is "Unter dem Doppeladler" ("Under the Double Eagle"), a march of Austro-Hungary that was composed by J. F. Wagner in 1893.

This song is about the Battle of Covadonga of 722 AD, in which King Pelagius of Asturias (Don Pelayo) defeated the invading army of the Umayyad Caliphate under Munuza and his general, Alqama, in the Picos de Europa mountain range.

Munuza's army had lost a battle in Aquitaine at Toulouse the previous year, and decided that conquering Asturias would help raise his troops' faltering morale. H tried to get Pelagius to surrender - in a few years he had conquered almost the entirety of the Iberian peninsula - to which Pelagius responded by releasing stones and loosing arrows at his forces, before taking them by surprise by charging at them from the cave they had been hiding in.

Alqama was killed in the battle, and his army retreated. In the aftermath of Pelagius' victory the people of Asturias rose up and killed hundreds of the retreating Umayyads. Munuza organised another force and he met Pelagius again, this time near the modern town of Proaza, there Pelagius won once again, and Munuza was killed in the fight.

Covadonga is widely regarded as the start of the 800-year long Reconquista by the Christian kingdoms of Iberia. Covadonga was the first victory of the local Christians over the invading Muslims, Pelagius' victory ensured Asturias' survival as a free Christian realm. Setting the stage for the later kingdoms and struggle to reclaim Hispania.

For this reason, Covadonga is one of the most important battles in Spanish history, and is heavily venerated in Spanish nationalism. The cave in which Pelagius is traditionally held to have sought refuge is now a shrine dedicated to the Virgin Mary - "Our Lady of Covadonga" - Pelagius is said to have prayed to the Virgin Mary, a statue of her having being hidden in the cave to protect it, to give him victory. A shrine was later built to honour this divine intervention.

This is a Chilean nationalist song from the late 1980s/early 1990s by the pro-Pinochet "National Advance" party ("Avanzada Nacional"; AN).

This is "The Longest Day", the theme tune of the 1962 film of the same name, in a video for the 80th anniversary of D-Day, today. This rendition is performed by the Cadet Glee Club of West Point.

This is "Stonewall Jackson's Way", a song of the Stonewall Brigade, a unit of Virginia commanded by Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson that was originally formed at Harpers Ferry on the 27th of April, 1861, from the 2nd, 4th, 5th, 27th, and 33rd Virginia Infantry regiments and the Rockbridge Artillery Battery of Rockbridge County, and was officially assigned to the Virginia Provisional Army.

The brigade later went on to serve as part of the famed Army of Northern Virginia.

This is Testvér, Elég a Szolgaságból!, a rare Hungarian nationalist song of the Arrow Cross Party.

This is a song about Earl Van Dorn's Army of the West at the Battle of Pea Ridge / Elk Horn Tavern, fought in north-western Arkansas on the 7th-8th of March, 1862. Interestingly, the song states that 10,000 men were lost, though the Confederates only lost around 2,500 in reality, and that Sterling Price was wounded by a "fatal shot", he was certainly wounded on the first day of the battle, but he survived it, and the war, in fact.

Not only did he survive the wound, his Missourians also won Elk Horn Tavern, before losing it the following day in a fierce counterattack.

This is an extended version I have made of a rare instrumental version of "Marcha de Oriamendi".

This is "Marcha de Oriamendi" , the marching song/anthem of the Carlist movement, a Spanish Nationalist, Traditionalist and Legitimist movement which aims to put the branch of the Bourbon dynasty descended from Don Carlos, Count of Molina on the Spanish throne. The Carlist movement also deeply supports the Catholic church in Spain. The battle cry of the Carlists is "¡Dios, Patria y Rey!" ("God, Fatherland and the King!")

During the 19th century, the Carlists fought a series of three wars against the Liberals. Many Carlists supported the Southern States during their war of independence. During the Spanish Civil War, the Carlists joined the Nationalist side in their crusade against Secularism, Republicanism and Bolshevism.

The march was originally a Liberal march which was later adapted by the Carlists to celebrate the Carlist victory in the Battle of Oriamendi in 1837 - during the First Carlist War. The song was originally in Basque, though Spanish lyrics were later composed by a Carlist politician, soldier and an expert on Spanish folk customs called Ignacio Baleztena Ascárate in 1908.

This flag belonged to a Carlist unit called the "Tercio de Burgos" which fought as part of the Nationalist Army during the Spanish Civil War.

This is "Marcha Real"/"La Marcha Granadera" ("Royal March"/"The Grenadier's March"), the national anthem of the Kingdom of Spain, specifically a version with lyrics sang during the period of the Spanish State/Francoist Spain (1939 - 1975).

Several versions exist, this particular version is a variation on the version by José Maria Péman of 1928, who later rewrote some of the lyrics specially for the Francoist regime.

This is a video of the 19th century German mourning song called "Ich Hatt' Einen Kameraden" by "Glimpses of Reich".

"VOR UNS LIEGT DEUTSCHLAND, IN UNS MARSCHIERT DEUTSCHLAND, UND HINTER UNS KOMMT DEUTSCHLAND!"

This footage from "Triumph of the Will" was originally uploaded by "Glimpses of the Reich" on Youtube. It features Adolf Hitler addressing the members of the Hitler Youth on the 8th of September, 1934.

A collection of different versions of "The Bonnie Blue Flag", the popular unofficial national anthem of the Confederate States of America, and one of three.

I have had to rework this video for my Youtube channel due to copyright issues, that version is slightly longer than this one and has some different music pieces.

This is "Ye Cavaliers of Dixie", a Southern song using the air of "Ye Mariners of England", an old British patriotic song.

According to "War Poetry of the South" (1866), this song was penned by a Benjamin F. Porter of Alabama, though the lyrics of the version in the book are a little different, and longer, than those in this rendition, but they're similar enough to claim that Porter composed the song, though I'm not certain about it.

This is "The Brass-Mounted Army" - a comedic Southern song using the air of "Southern Wagon". It was composed by an unknown member of German-born Colonel Augustus Buchel's Regiment.

Buchel originally served as a Lieutenant Colonel in the 3rd Texas Infantry, before becoming the Colonel in command of the reconstituted 1st Texas Cavalry Regiment, formed from the consolidation of the earlier 3rd Texas and 8th Texas Cavalry Battalions, in 1863.

This is "Rule, Britannia!" one of the most famous of all British patriotic songs. It was composed by James Thomson and Thomas Arne in 1740 to serve as the final musical number of "Alfred" - Arne's masque opera about King Alfred the Great, one of the greatest kings of Anglo-Saxon England.

The 18th century was a time of "Alfredism" - an early form of "Anglo-Saxonism", an English and British nationalist ideology which honoured Anglo-Saxon England as the foundation of Britain.

This is an American song from late 1979 about the Iranian hostage crisis, when the new Islamic Republic of Iran took over the U. S. Embassy in Tehran, holding it for almost 450 days into 1981.

The song is calling for the U. S. to launch an expedition to free the hostages.

One of the Ross Barnett's campaign songs during his 1967 campaign to be re-elected as the Governor of Mississippi. The song was composed by Houston Davis, and is being performed by the Magnolia State Quartet and the Jerry Lane Orchestra.

I'm also working on his 1959 campaign song, just there's a certain lyric I can't quite make out yet.

This is a quickstep march composed in 1862 in honour of the "Prattville Dragoons" - an Alabama dragoon unit which originally made up Company I of the 7th Alabama Infantry Regiment, before later becoming Company H of the 3rd Alabama Cavalry Regiment.

I believe this march is being performed by the 5th Alabama Infantry Band.

This is a song by John Hill Hewitt, one of the most accomplished Confederate composers.
