REBELYELL

Rebel yell

The rebel yell was a battle cry used by Confederate soldiers during the American Civil War. Confederate soldiers would use the yell during charges to intimidate the enemy and boost their own morale, although the yell had many other uses. While no audio recordings of the yell exist from the Civil War era, there are both audio clips and film footage of veterans doing the yell many years after the war. The origin of the yell is uncertain, though it is thought to have been influenced either by Native American war cries or a Scottish war cry tradition.
