Thank you for listening!

Yes bravery. Those lads had it in spades. The leadership and confidence from Capt. Dixon gave them the impetus to carry on, risk be damned to hell!

You’re right this submarine was well ahead of it’s time.

Not traitors but patriots for they were fighting the federal government far over reach on there rights

But now you're stuck with those "chattels." Bringing them here was the Southerners' mistake. Allowing them to stay here was YOUR mistake.

​@@Pack_leader1989Article VI of the US constitution, the CSA betrayed that Also every confederate general betrayed their oath to 'fight all enemies, foreign and domestic'

​@@braydenfarrell1177 you missed that last word "domestic"

Thank you! If you haven’t already, it’s worth a visit to see the restoration of the submarine and artifacts in Charleston.

The cause of independence isnt a terrible cause?

@@Sonny-m1f It is when it's independence for some but slavery for the other 40% of the population. It was a terrible cause.

@@Sonny-m1f It is the myth of the “lost cause”…

@@mikecannon2747 The Cause was secession an independence. The myth is the "righteous cause". How does one fight to end slavery while simultaneously owning slaves themselves until after the war as well as enslaving native Americans an chinese coolies to build the railroads on the 1880s. No offense to you, I'm just stating what I know, not trying to be contrarian. If one knows about the corwin ammendment or have read Lincolns first inaugural from March of 1861, knows that ending the particular institution was not the reason the federals invaded sovereign states who had democratically elected to invoke their 10th amendment right to be independent. Which was recognized as fully legal before the war. The south didn't secede for fear of losing slavery, slavery is brought up in 4 of the secession documents an they are in reference to the northern states refusing to recognize the supreme courts decisions in the favor of the southern states in regards to them taking their people west an the fugitive slave act. Lincoln references this on his first inaugural as well. He fully supported the FSA. But could never allow colored people to go west. Free staters. With the context of all of this it's easy for one to recognize that that war was much like all wars up into today. They are for economic purposes. An that's why the federal govt refused to let the 7 southern states leave in peace. Remember, Virginia, NC, Tennessee an Arkansas didn't secede until Lincoln unconstitutionally called up troops. Only then. Virginia an NC voted two times to remain in their secession conventions. My ancestor Peyton B Gravely was one of the men who voted to stay but after Sumpter he became a captain the in the 42nd Virginia an was wounded leading his company up culpa hill at Gettysburg. He was also a slave owner. Who voted to stay in the union because he as well as everyone knew that slavery was a constitutionally protected right in the union. Like New Jersey, Delaware an Kentucky, all union states who kept slavery until 1866. The cause was independence. Not preservation or abolition of an economic institutions. Thank you for replying.

Thank you for listening!

@@mikecannon2747 thank you for providing us with the music

It will always be your song.

Yes! The Hunley museum is worth a visit to see the real thing. The restoration that has been done on various Hunley artifacts is amazing.

Thank you!! This version is just a slight remix to bring out the banjo.m

@@mikecannon2747 oh I see

Thanks!

States Rights Forever (unless it comes to forcing free states to returning fugitive slaves)

they died so they could save their country from being starved to death by the cowardly union.

This song slaps

some of the only ones

It's in a maritime museum on display - well preserved-Google for details

Developed and used underwater explosive mines too. Evidence of it can be found in the Vicksburg military park. USS Cairo

She was made well ahead of her time too. Another successful one was made a half a century later.

Cool…that’s the only known photo of Manse. Manse Jolly Road is in Anderson.

Thank you for listening!

Pffff, talk about being an old fart.

That how I feel. I like instrumental bands. Talent. Cool stories.

If you get to Charleston, stop in for a tour and see the real thing. I’ll play this one Monday night at open mic, remembering the folks that died in the Titan sub.

I think it was partly the possible monetary reward if they sank a Union ship, versus the horrors of being sent to the battlefield. The Hunley was maybe a little better gig, but still they had to be mighty brave. Don’t underestimate the leadership of Cpt Dixon either, he must have inspired a lot of confidence.

@@mikecannon2747 After sinking twice and killing it own inventor, I still think one would consider the Hunley to be less safe than an army battle line.

@@TheStapleGunKid One famous story I recall: Prior to her final voyage, Cpt Dixon called for volunteers to make up a new crew. Once the troops were lined up, Dixon explained the assignment, that they would be going out against the Union warships in an experimental craft that had killed two crews and her inventor before. He then added that any man who felt up to the task should step forward, but that there would be no dishonor for anyone who wishes to return to their post and not risk such a dangerous venture. He then turned his back and waited for the men to step forth. When he turned around again, at first he thought the line hadn't moved and so asked again, only to realize that every man had stepped forth, not a one held back.

Whoo! Stars and bars! Long live Dixie!

​@@benjaminlathem2745you lost get over it

Mystery solved 🤣

My friend Corey Oxendine wrote the song. He has relatives in the tribe. It was a pleasure to help him record it.

To see the actual submarine check out the official link. www.hunley.org/ Take a tour of the restoration lab in Charleston.

I went to the ghost walk last year. Definitely going again this October. 😀

He changed his name to William Lowery and died 1912... he was my great great great grandfather... i am actually a spitting image of him...
