they went to the Other Memphis

“The Fella” Just so everybody knows, he is not saying fella as in fellow, he is saying Fellah, referring to the Fellaheen, Egypt’s indigenous peasant class.

The story reminds me a little of another American from the same period, Frederick Townsend Ward. He was a Confederate sympathiser who fought for the Imperial Chinese Army, and he played an instrumental role in the suppression of the Taiping Rebellion. He also threatened to sink all union ships that dared approach the coasts of Shanghai, and openly advocated for the Confederate cause to other Americans based in China at the time. In recognition of his service to the Chinese Qing Dynasty, Ward was awarded Chinese citizenship.

Now this is an interesting story, it’s also interesting to note the foreigners who fought for both sides in the Civil War

"Why did the Confederate soldier go to Egypt?" sounds like a joke.

Braxton Bragg: You, soldier, ride to Memphis and deliver a letter to General Hood about a possible Union attack This guy: *Starts packing up all his shit and goes to Egypt* Braxton Bragg: Godamnit not again

Brazil has a HUGE confederate community, they still fly the flag have ceremonies, load moved over there when the war ended

Hello, I'm Egyptian and I had previous knowledge of the Confederate/Union officers in the Egyptian army in this period, I'm also a fan of CSA in general. Your video is great, but you could add more about their general life in Egypt as it wasn't only about military, they also faced some funny stuff there. Anyways, continue this series.

The Dixie on the Nile

Egyptian: "We had Christianity here since before the Romans." Confederate: "I love it!" Egyptian: "Most of us converted to Islam." Confederate: "I hate it." Egyptian: "We have a tradition of slavery that goes way back." Confederate: "I love it!" Egyptian: "But the Pyramids were built with a labour tax." Confederate: "I hate it."

Well americans documented their times in the Ottoman empire in the late 1800s. They were shocked that a African officer in the Ottoman army had white servants. It was like their world has come upside down.

Imagine a Mini Series about this guy journeys.....

Part 2 is here - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eJuXY6adyM3agqc.html I now have some exlusive videos going up on Patreon. The first covers a Thai Soldier in the US Civil War. Next will cover things like the first Monotheistic religion, Polish-Japanese Alliance, the "Tiger King", Phoenecian Explorers and all other sorts of historical tidbits. -www.patreon.com/Jabzy. There should be 2-3 going up per month and, of course, you'll help out in bringing some better made series to this channel. Plus a very special thanks to Tad586, David Harrison, Matthew Kallend, Andreas, Spencer Polio, Mike Takano, LargeDoubloon73, Comrade, Cap, Brett Cowie, John Paul Ferguson, Frank den Blanken, Matthew, Celso Azevedo and everyone else who supported me over the years.

hey, do one one the confederate officer who ended up guarding the pope as a member of the Swiss guard

I find it interesting how the Confederate officer cites Cuba ('on the doorstep of the freest nation on Earth') as a place were slaves are treated with cruelty and brutality in comparison to the relative comfort of being a domestic slave in Egypt, but I wonder if he thought the treatment of slaves in the South before the Civil War was cruel? I wouldn't be surprised if Cuba and Brazil were worse places to be a slave than the United States, but this seems to me of him rationalizing or turning a blind eye to the cruelty practiced in his own country before the civil war, and by the side that he fought for. He does compare the lot of Egyptian peasants as being much worse than American slaves ('who lived fine palaces and wore fine linen in comparison'), but is this hyperbole? Or he thought the condition of the peasants was this terrible? Or he thought that American slaves had it easy? A very fascinating memoir.

"Oh I'm a good old rebel, Now that's just what I am and for this Yankee nation I do not give a Damn."

General Pickett of the Confederate Army was the commanding officer of a Corps in the Egyptian Army his rank was Lieutenant General and his V Corps flew the Bonnie blue flag and the Confederate flag

Love the narration. They have a wonderful voice

This channel is way underrated this man put some effort to produce videos like this.. hope youll get more subs

these are very interesting topics that I did not know before, you've earned a subscriber

Can you do a video about the Prussian officer in the US army during the war of independence?

I would’ve never thought a confederate general would go to Africa. If you learn something new everyday

Excited to see part 2!!

Anybody else want a Confederate General to lead an Egyptian army into Ethiopia in Victoria 3?

I called it, I said the Egyptian campaign to Ethiopia.

High quality video, Jabzy!

I heard of him when i was researching about why my country was defeated in that war. wasn't the best idea to recruit someone who was defeated in one of the biggest conflicts at that time right after he was defeated, classic Ismail pasha, always relying on foreigners until it all goes on his head. amazing and informative video as usual! a refreshing but sad look at that part of my country's history

Good Job Jabzy youre videos are improving 😌😌😌😌

Great video. When listening to this Confederate guy talk I couldn't help thinking of John Carter of Mars. This is probably how John Carter would talk if he went to Africa.

You have some great content.

Many also went to Egypt because they needed to modernize their army and thus they hired mang out of work foreign officers The other countries Confederate exiles went to, Brazil and Mexico, also had conflict, though I’m not sure how many were employed by the military

I thought this was gonna be about Henry Hopkins Sibley, the Confederate commander who tried to invade Colorado and also joined the Egyptian army

Alternative title: “Wild West Cowboy in Egypt ASMR”

Absolutely fascinating! I can't imagine what all this man saw and the journey he went on from the Old South to the depths of Africa and beyond, especially back then. Just incredible! Thanks so much for sharing this interesting story.

Confederates in Egypt? Gives a whole new meaning to “old times there are not forgotten...”

Reminds me of the Matthew Maconahey movie Sahara, where the confederate ironclad ship ended up in the titular desert.

This is truly a fascinating tale.

Americans bring their strange understanding of race with them around the world.

Well I can see why you are getting views now Jabzy. Very interesting topics.

Thank you.

General Beauregard was also offered command of the Egyptian Army after the war. The British offered to make Lee a Duke for the same.

They were better treated? An estimated 20 million Black African slaves were taken during the Trans Sahara slave trade ( which still exists today ) I ask you, where are the descendants of these 20 million slaves?

Thank you

I really like the narrator's voice, good choice.

A lot of former Confederates left the burning ruins of the Confederacy and started new lives in other countries. The most famous was likely Judah P. Benjamin, one-time Confederate Secretary of War and Secretary of State and close confidant of Confederate President Jefferson Davis, who fled to Victorian England and bercame a prominent attorney in the country and wrote a classic legal treatise, entitled BENJAMIN ON SALES, which is STILL in print.

Intro song: Desert Caravan by Aaron Kelly

*Finds new subscription worthy content* "Another fine addition to my collection"

That opening song is in every Egypt doc I watch on KZfaq

Nice video :)!

Do Ajuran Portugese wars next!

Reminded me of a Clive Cussler concept

This is amazing. It’s so cool to see such varying emigration/immigration in such a seemingly primitive time.

I am egyptian, and this is a strange story

It's worth keeping in mind that the beginning describes how rich people lived. Though Islam permits polygamy, a man probably wouldn't have a harem if he was poor. He'd be lucky to end up with one wife before dying young or middle aged.

And on other forces going to African countries to train and manage troops etc. In the late 1950s- 1960s . Several Norwegian Navy officers and civillian workers went to Ethiopia to train their navy in use of new equipment and since Norway was outside the English/ Italian US/ Warsaw Pact influence sphere it was considered a best of western options . And the crew had a great time there ,and interesting service record list writings.

Thanks, this is in Ethiopia.

Just imagine, he could travel with his guns with ease in those days.

Need a movie Bout this with ...

Thats intesting story by the way

Now this is content. I've my Doritos and watching this.

It's interesting how he refers to the egyptian laborer as the "brown and yellow man." Interesting color terminology before the racialization of East Asians that happened a mere few decades later.

PLEASE use English subtitles, not english automated subtitles.

General Sherman went to Egypt? I've never heard that before. I learned a lot about him because I live in his hometown of Lancaster Ohio. But that's definitely a new one.

Just a note: i dont mean to be harsh, but the dress of these ethiopians is quite innacurate; the architecture is better. Many would have either a) worn the traditional cotton _shamma_ (as was worn by Wolde Mikael Solomon) or a white "kilt" around the waist. They would have, indeed, been barefoot. Hairstyles might have been braided, put into "dreads" (not actual dreads, but large braids that resemble them), worn cropped, or potentially even worn in a small to massive 'fro. Emperor Yohannes (John in English) fashioned himself with cornrows, as did many women (afro puffs or, pulled back, were other choices for ladies). Women were seemingly topless at times, but frequently wore clothing to tidy themselves. Facial hair was common among men, as were turbans and ocassionally caps aswell. What was depicted here is more appropriate for Southern Africa, not for Sudan and Kenya adjacent Ethiopia. I'm a fan of the channel, so I must admit that I was quite dissapointed here. If you need reference images, feel free to reach out! Thatching was oft "tidy" for lack of a better way to put it, thatch often was darker, and hut walls were often plastered over in mud.

The prince at 9:00 with his 300 followers sounds like a Mount & Blade: Warband character

Johnny reb where you been? Johnny reb: good question

Yooooo. I just realized who this guy is. He used to make those 3 minute history videos.

Ironies everywhere.

His description of the fellahin is the polar opposite the French scholars in Napoleon's army gave the Egyptian fellahin saying they would not tolerate any cruelty by their Turkish governors who were few in number and would respond by immediate rioting . This is supported by the urabi revolt in response to English abuse in the 1900's. I'm guessing he witnessed a single incident where the aforementioned occurred and over generalized.

Confederates also fled to Brazil...look it up.

Would this not be the best setting for a movie?

The last samurai??

Brilliant video but you misspelled "Egyptian" in the title

"King John is a dilf"

Anyone else think loring sounds like the sniper from sniper elite

Do Mamluks of India (Delhi Sultanate)

Hearing that the confederates was in my country before. I actually didn't hear that but now I'm amazed after I learnt this fact. in short: I'm happy that my country was visited by everyone worldwide.

rich bae doesnt mean bae, it means bay, as in commander, or manager

They showed us how to make falafel... and we introduced them to cornpone sammiches.

why did the confederate soldier join the egyptian army? to get to the other memphis

Confederate soldier in Egypt? 🤣😂😭😂🤣

YOOO why you calling us out like that.

It seems that the Confederate soldier dislikes slavery. He even talks about the horrors of slavery.

Reading this title. I was like na. 😂

It's easy to forget how much of a foreign country the past is, doubly in a foreign country!

Make more videos every week

I watched both parts. Quite interesting, However, Mr. Lauren did not tell us the true motives for an American confederate to join the Egyptian Army in his campaign in the south. Nor he told us about his role and military expertise during that war. I fond this intriguing yet ORIENTALISTIC to the core!

Next Story: Confederates Diaspora in Mexico and Brazil. PLZ 🤩

I probably will stop watching this is a permanent switch of narrators.

Are you sure he wasn’t lost in the Metropoltin Muesum lol

Away! Away! Oh way down middle east in Dixie~

Names are regularly translated into English. Everyone should call him King John when speaking English. The other name you didn't translate is Theodore.

... Wait... What???!!

The thing is, black Africans that were slaves in North Africa were castrated, meat and veg in slave markets in Tripoli before being sold, with a percentage bleeding out before they could even reach the sale yard. It's why there is not a large black African population in North Africa today. So, it was a very horrifically brutal life of slavery in that reason, as it was in the South.
