Rebel Yell

[RonMwangaguhunga]

Maybe someone in DC or Virginia could help me out here. I was wondering what a "rebel yell" is. Could you tell me a little about its history and what it is? Is it a racist thing? Do fraternities south of the Mason Dixon do it? I am being serious here.

I think, quite simply, it is the Dukes-of-Hazard-esque "Yeee-haaa!"

...silent, but violent.

The rebel yell is the most fear inspiring sound that you better pray to god you'll never hear. In the south they teach it to you after you kill your first yankee. :)

P.S. Unless they have family or something I don't think anyone in DC or Northern Virginia knows much or cares to know much about what's going on "south of the Mason-Dixon."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A distinctive feature of the Southern soldier was the rebel yell, a long, quavering sound that became legendary. One of the challenges of reenacting is to determine what this famous call actually sounded like.

After the war a number of veterans sought to describe the yell in print. One of the most detailed descriptions came from J. Harvie Drew, a soldier in the 9th Virginia Cavalry. He gave this transcription of the rebel yell:

"Woh--who--ey! Who--ey! Who--ey! Woh--who--ey! Who--ey! (The best illustration of this "true yell" which can be given the reader is by spelling it as above, with directions to sound the first syllable "woh" short and low, and the second "who" with a very high and prolonged note deflecting upon the third syllable "ey.")
Others rendered the yell as "yai, yai, yi, yai, yi" and "y-yo yo-wo-wo." From these examples, it would appear the yell was both multi-syllable and also composed of pattern that was repeated several times.

The "Rebel yell" was uttered when Rebel troops were charging Yankee troops. Its purpose was to invoke terror in the enemy. (Judging from the frequency with which it is mentioned, it worked).

Yeah, just fine and dandy until that pesky "getting your white trash-ass kicked into oblivion" thing came along.
