More than that, the line before it basically says "Fuck protecting your livestock, we have bigger problems to solve." Which stands out even more to me. Every single verse has a hardcore line like that.
Beautiful Ballad! Truly shows the values of young America. "Our leaders themselves are our own fellow men, who can handle the sword and the scythe and the pen" is very moving
Ho--all to the borders! Vermonters, come down, With your britches of deerskin and jackets of brown; With your red woolen caps and your moccasins come, To the gathering summons of trumpet and drum. Come down with your rifle! Let gray wolf and fox Howl on in the shadow of primitive rocks; Let bear feed securely from pig-pen and stall; Here's two-legged game for your powder and ball. Then cheer, cheer, the green mountaineer, Then cheer, cheer, the green mountaineer On the south came the Hessians, our land to police; And armed for the battle while canting of peace; On our east came the British, the red coated band To hang up our leaders and eat up our land. Ho--all to the rescue! For Satan shall work No gain for the legions of Hampshire and York! They claim our possessions - the pitiful knaves - The tribute we pay shall be prisons and graves! Then cheer, cheer, the green mountaineer, Then cheer, cheer the green mountaineer We owe no allegiance, we bow to no throne, Our ruler is law and the law is our own; Our leaders themselves are our own fellow-men, Who can handle the sword and the scythe and the pen Hurrah for Vermont! For the land that we till Must have sons to defend her from valley and hill Our vow is recorded--our banner unfurled, In the name of Vermont we defy all the world!

Vermont sent the most men statistically to the civil war. We’ve always fought for fellow man and country. We had to save the Union, no jet fighters and nuclear reactors without a unified country. Sorry about the economic loss but y’all have college football now lol
@@seancssuHey we provided the most volunteers for our last battle against the British at New Orleans, and we provided 30,000 volunteers for the war against Mexico when only 2,800 were requested. That's why we're called "the Volunteer State", we're the Prussia of Dixieland. I suppose that makes you the Prussia of New England.
@Sakkra1993 Y'know it's actually quite funny when you consider that the reason people call for the reformation of the CSA is because *those damned secessionist traitors lost the last time they tried some funny shit with the United States of America!*
My ancestors came from the British Isles mostly England during the 17th century and fought in the American Revolution, I guarantee that I have no ancestors that settled in Vermont, but nonetheless, this song is great amd shows the rugged spirit and determination of the American people at that time.

In some alternate reality of a divided northern North America, I'd hope to think my "country" has this cultural aesthetic. Something about it feels very right.
Cultural moment: Vermont was a French colony, and its name "Vermont" is a contraction of "vert" (or "verd" in old french but no one care) and "mont" (it was hard to guess) which literally means green mountain
@@vittoriolepporio122 believe you me, upstaters have more in common with Vermont than people from the place you are thinking of and deserves all the hate it gets.
I just finished playing a Roblox conquest game, where I had formed a greater New English state that spanned from new Jersey and new York to new Brunswick and nova Scotia, with the 2nd largest navy in the world and colonies in Africa and new guinea. It was independent from 1796-1811, and I had been listening to one of my many playlists that had this song in it. When it became independent this was playing, and when it rejoined the united states this was playing. Coincidence? I think not
