When Confederate soldiers attacked in battle, they made high-pitched, banshee-like scream which was supposed to strike fear in the hearts of their enemies. According to author Shelby Foote, this was called the Rebel Yell, and we are very fortunate to have many accurate written descriptions of this cry. But unfortunately for us today he claims, we can only make educated guesses as to the noise they created, because we cannot truly know exactly what it sounded like.
