The Rebel Yell was a distinctive battle cry used by Confederate soldiers during the American Civil War (1861–1865). 🇺🇸 Described as a high-pitched, piercing, and eerie sound, it was a blend of a shout, scream, and howl, often compared to a banshee’s wail or a pack of hounds baying. The yell varied in tone and intensity but was typically characterized by a rapid, wavering ululation that could carry over long distances, striking fear into opponents and boosting the morale of Confederate troops.T
