DIXIE'S LAND

- Опубліковано 5 вер 2017
- Back in 2010, Ryan Kelley of Intersection Films asked us if we would contribute our treatment of “Dixie’s Land” to be the opening of the film documentary that Ryan and his partner, Trent Reeves, were making about the classic Dan Emmett song. We were flattered to be so considered and of course readily agreed. We rendezvoused with the film-makers during the July Gettysburg reenactment that year and filmed our all-acoustic, all-authentic period instrument version.
It took quite a while for Intersection to get the piece completed, but in 2017 they were finally able to get it screened on various individual PBS and other TV broadcast stations across the country, as well as in various college and university settings. Intersection Films’ “Dixie” is an interesting and entertaining piece - clearly relevant in today’s turbulent and politically charged atmosphere.
Unfortunately, the full documentary is no longer available, but a ‘revised trailer’ may be found on UA-cam: • Dixie Documentary Revi...
We are presenting here the full recording made that day, which Ryan generously provided to us at our request. We feel it’s especially appealing due to its relaxed and comfortable air, yet vital and energetic presentation. It’s just plain FUN ! It is our hope that when watching, folks can put aside any prejudices they might feel and simply try to enjoy this classic American song in the context of the period.
Imagine having the audacity to think this song is racist. This is art.

It’s a good song but what it represents because of movements after the war like the white league makes it something to be disdained, much like how the battle flag of the army of northern Virginia is a good flag but because of what people used it to represent after the war it became very much a symbol of oppression.
Abraham Lincoln also liked this song

i think that many people often associate this song with racism due to the fact it was made for minstrel shows. some versions of the song do actually have lyrics that support abolition but the original was supposed to be for a black face performer talking about how, despite being freed, he wants to go back to the plantation
i do genuinely like the song but i cant support many of the racist views the song originally intended
They call everything racist.

@@2ndSouthCarolinaStringBand No, they would be the same kind of tyrannical morons who were met by American patriots at Lexington and Concord.
My Alabama mother married my North Dakota father in 1955. She used to sing this song to me when I was child. Always loved it!
The Confederate's song was always a happier tune than the Union's, imo.
I've long thought the same. Here's a Yankee song I once had framed: "Mother, I'm Coming Home to Die." How's that for a cheery title ?
Idk, Union Dixie slaps
I mean, it isn't even "the Confederate's" song... it's from before the war, and was (and still is, imo) a folksong. This is no display of racism, its preservation of culture, a culture which is under constant scrutiny by people today, saying statues and pieces of cloth offend them. This is all coming from a yankee, but I swear, after moving here to NC, god, I'm really trying to prove to my native neighbors that I am a southerner at heart. This is something to admire. God bless Dixie's Land! And thank the 2nd South Carolina String Band! You guys are masters of your art, and the fact that whenever you hear Dixie's Land being played anywhere, it's most likely being played by them, speaks volumes about their talent. Thank you all for preserving history! God bless

@@lanadellhatestheclock3325 They had lots of songs. It's just that many were not very happy-ish...

Unbelievable how many scots Irish were born after England tried their hardest to destroy us.

This is the BEST version of Dixie that I have ever heard! Many thanks 🙏 for sharing this!! Beautifully done!
Wow, thank you!
I have to agree
Listen to Elvis’ version. It’s called American trilogy
Best version of Dixie is union dixie🤣
@im_Carlisledo know how many wars the USA has lost?
Trying to insult people who like this song by calling them losers is very hypocritical.
Had the opportunity to hear these guys in person at re-enactments, reunions, etc. They are awesome!
What I love about this song, is that in WWI 1917 when the first american soldiers were getting off the boat in England/ France in preperation to attack Germany, the bands that were hired to greet them, played this song, as they were unable to think of a song that better represented the States at the time, not because of any racial reasons, but becasue it was unusually upbeat considering the state our country and in turn the world was, yet our attitude was unwavering, and to the Europeans, they saw no difference between north and south, Yank or Dixie. We were just the crazy bastards happy to go to war for them, and considering this and the union version were representatives of our bloodiest war, saw it fitting to play it for us.
Pretty cool story ! Thanks for sharing !

This sort of thing will not be legal in 40 years.
The Stars and Bars is already restricted, ,, will be prohibited within 20 years.
Blatant expressions of White Southern Culture will follow close behind.
Statues , symbols , songs, artifacts, even true History will be either modified to fit the agenda,,, or eliminated completely. The South will fall to the Agenda of Rejection and Repentance for all aspects of Western Civilization.. It's a World Wide phenomenon driven by demographic replacement.
The Waves of Replacement on a global scale, are relentless.
White women = below replacement fertility
POC= just open your eyes and look around, you will see the future.
Reasonable Speculation Unless we fight it and make a nation of our own. Have you heard of the Northwest imperative and the Northwest front?
The Northwest Imperative gets Bad Press (supremacism, Nazi, murderous, hatefully Whites),,or NO press at all.
So bad start right there.
The entire Great Replacement conversation has been dismissed as the ridiculous hallucinations of privilaged Whites.
Currently no Governmental Authority, whether Local, State, Federal, will tolerate even a designated White School District, ,let alone a White Region.
A single All White School would not be tolerated.
A grassroots movement to the Northwest may gain some traction. But in an environment of strong POC activism(sanctioned by Gov, Corporations, and private donors),,,,
and weak, unrecognized, silenced or even Outlawed White activism,
any progress made will be broken up by forced integration.
Parts of Eastern Europe seem to be the only possibility for a future White Homeland.. The UN and EU will fight hard to stop it..

"DixieLand" History: "Although known as a Southern anthem, “Dixie’s Land,” aka “Dixie” was written for the minstrel stage by Daniel Decatur Emmett in New York City. The song was so popular in the South that it became generally accepted as the rallying song of the Confederacy.
Abraham Lincoln loved the song since he first heard it at a show by the Rumsey and Newcomb Minstrels in Chicago in 1860. According to a fellow attorney who attended the show with him, after “Dixie’s Land” was played, Lincoln clapped and shouted “Let’s have it again! Let’s have it again!”
Edit: I made a mistake about the roots of the Dix (and I knew better). Thanks to Ted Lawrence for reminding me. "DixieLand" comes from The Citizen's Bank of Louisiana, chartered in 1833. The bank issued 10-dollar notes, with the red colored notes printed with the French "dix" ("ten") on the back. They were known as "dixie" notes and were traded especially in the cotton trade up the Mississippi. To have a pocketful of Dixies meant you came from New Orleans and had sold your cotton. Up north, they knew "DixieLand" was down south where they traded in "dixies".
Excellent work, George !!! One of the best depositions on the subject to date ! Something new, too ! I never heard the 2nd paragraph before. Interesting !

A sad day in my birthplace Dallas, TX. The city council voted today to remove Gen. Robert E. Lee statue from Lee Park. I am blessed to be a Texican! And God Bless The South.
Feliberto Martinez makes me sick to since I saw that I don't like reading anything about that anybody who destroys American Heritage statues should be shot or hung long live the South God bless Robert E Lee in the South hooray for Dixieland
Disgusting and shameful that they're doing this during the Harvey recovery. The cowards don't want media attention.
It's a disgrace. In Nazi Germany and the USSR, all traces of those political figures who fell into disgrace were removed from all aspects of public life. Now the same mentality of intolerance and supression has spread here.
Feliberto Martinez how can you remove the statue of a historical figure from a park named after them? That's retarded.

@eXGn0cKS Gaming So you recognize IQ as a valid way to measure human intelligence eh? What's your opinion on biological differences in IQ?
I was born in the Deep South, have lived there all my life as my family on both sides have since well before the civil war. I love this song so much and I’ve yet to grow tired of it. God bless y’all and god bless Dixie
Amen to all of that (except the 'born in the deep south' part, but my heart has belonged to Dixie since 5th grade...). Likewise the 'both sides'. Thanks for your comment !!

I'm a 16-year-old Polish girl and unlike my peers, I don't like modern music. I'm so glad I have come across your UA-cam channel! Your music is wonderful and I listen to it every day. In addition, I have also learned more about American Civil War history. 2nd South Carolina String Band, your music is a work of art and I'm so glad I can listen to it.
That's very kind of you to say. THANK you !!!

Cześć!
It’s great that you have real, period-correct instruments, particularly the guitar. So many Hollywood movies and TV shows have had string bands with a Martin dreadnought or some other thing that wasn’t even available until decades after the time in which the story is set.
Hey, THANKS, Tim ! We worked hard to achieve that look ! Glad you picked up on it !!
I’m a western man, who has a heart for the south. Beautiful.
"How many versions of “Dixie’s Land” can one band shamelessly post?"
There is no limit.

Greetings from Colombia. South America
Que Colombia resuelva su propia guerra civil!
Hello from columbia south Carolina lol
I thought you would say South Carolina 🤣
My wife is Colombian from Cali. I am a from Petersburg. We dont need a national government for nothing!
@Messenger Colombia is a mess politically, in the past the country suffered from centralism, then came the separation of Venezuela and Ecuador and later a civil war.
Then the government decided to split offices only between the two main political parties to end the war and the commies got angry, but most importantly, they've also got a nice argument to use as a banner for people to join their cause - corruption and a new oligarchy.
Their arguments where real, the government was truly corrupted, but their objectives as a faction where socialist crap.
Then came the bandorelism criminals and later the everlasting guerrillas supported bot by Cuba, Venezuela, Ecuador (for some time) and even Nicaragua.
The conflict has been long and violent, the commies lost support. But the governments from the right are into way too many corruption scandals, they own a lot of land and distribute a lot of tax money into their own families, so the left is gaining way too much support, those idiots don't think about politics but of some sort of revenge. And their populist representative is as corrupt as their counterparts in office, even worse as he was an ex-guerrilla member and the destitute mayor of Bogotá for not doing actually anything and messing up with the city. It's confusing speech is what has many people who seem to suffer from amnesia supporting him
What's left clean of the country's political environment are the Center and Center-right parties. The rest is a bunch of chimpanzees who only use the congress to throw rocks at each other and sleep rather than to do something useful for the country.
But you know, as Plato criticized democracy for most people to choice sofists, populists and clowns as leaders rather than actual politicians, philosophers and people with actual knowledge who are truly commited to that charge.
For now our country is a polarised mess and advance is slow.
We don't need more liberalism or left policies, we just need to end corruption and the conflict will be over.
It gives me some hope to see people who still love the the southern culture of old.
I don't really mind if the people display confederate flags, as long as its the right one. The one that is all white.
@Cameron Putt Yeah you mean playing a song that supported slavery... You don't see germans going around celebrating nazi history do you?
@Cameron Putt It's a southern song and many southerners supported slavery
VirtualizingReality germany has statues of nazi soldiers, most of them respect that they gave their lives for something they truly believed in
@Cameron Putt Typical leftist response
Those rebs sure can play.
Thanks, Micah !!!
I wish I was in Dixie!
Greetings from Germany
I was born down south and my grandfather lives in the middle of Appalachian Virginia. I’d ride with him in his truck and we’d listen to bluegrass with the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains in the background. Every stay at his place was always so magical. This song reminds me of those times, filled with unmistakeable southern charm and hospitality.
I almost cried thinking about how the government wants to forget the civil war. We can’t forget those who died for what they believed in.
We must keep the history of the war. We must remember those who fell. We must never forget!
Clinton Lewis that’s a lie. The south split away from America. This makes them traitors. If you like them that’s fine but don’t act like what they did was American. They tried to leave us.
@Clinton Lewis "Leftist snowflake" here to laugh at your stupidity. As a sidenote; a very famous 'leftist' that you might know as "Marx" actually wrote letters specifying support for the breaking of tarrifs although a specification was present against slavery
@@rockie4077 Marx's ideas gave rise to dystopian,totalitarian, genocidal and repressive regimes.
This man is no less guilty than Giovanni Gentile.
What did they believe in again? Besides "God's given right to the white man to own the Negro" as was stated several times by Southern leaders.
O, I wish I was in the land of cotton
Old times there are not forgotten
Look away! Look away!
Look away! Dixie Land.
In Dixie Land where I was born in
Early on one frosty mornin'
Look away! Look away!
Look away! Dixie Land.
Chorus:
O, I wish I was in Dixie!
Hooray! Hooray!
In Dixie Land I'll take my stand
To live and die in Dixie
Away, away,
Away down south in Dixie!
Old Missus marry Will, the weaver,
William was a gay deceiver
Look away! Look away!
Look away! Dixie Land.
But when he put his arm around her
He smiled as fierce as a forty pounder
Look away! Look away!
Look away! Dixie Land.
Chorus:
O, I wish I was in Dixie!
Hooray! Hooray!
In Dixie Land I'll take my stand
To live and die in Dixie
Away, away,
Away down south in Dixie!
His face was sharp as a butcher's cleaver
But that did not seem to grieve her
Look away! Look away!
Look away! Dixie Land.
Old Missus acted the foolish part
And died for a man that broke her heart
Look away! Look away!
Look away! Dixie Land.
Chorus:
O, I wish I was in Dixie!
Hooray! Hooray!
In Dixie Land I'll take my stand
To live and die in Dixie

Hmmmm.... total absence of any reference to 'race'. Interesting... in case anyone was confused. Thanks for your comment, TF2 gaming enjoyer !
To those of you that hold this song in disdain, my advice to you never become attached to anything that might become hated by anyone else.
DEEP ! I like it !!
The song stands for chattel slavery. Of course it should be held in disdain.
@@judedante4067 You missed the point. The point is that the future is an enigma. The people who wrote and sang that song had no idea someday it would be held in disdain. Be very careful of the choices you make because you may be in future tense the new Confederate.

I had several of mine and my wife's ancestors fought for the South in the Civil War. My Grandmother born in 1910 called it the War of Northern Agression and she told stories that her Grandmother told her about what they went through in New Hope Ga when the Battle of the Hell Hole landed in their Yard. The North took all of the food killed all of their live stock burned their crops Raped several women and it was Hell on Earth! The took the food from the White and the Black families! When the slaves were freed they still lived on my family's farm and they took my family's last name and stayed close like family for years. My Grandmother actually knew several of them. She agreed that Slavery was wrong and she said that her Grandparents felt the same way. But that their home was being attacked and the cruelty that they faced was beyond comprehension.
I know no one wants to hear this side of the story but I am Proud to Be from Ga! Proud to be from the South! Proud of my Family that fought for the South! And Proud of my Heritage and my Race!!
And I do NOT feel superior to anyone! Or hate anyone!
Everyone needs to hear both sides to the story!! I love all people and I wish people would STOP trying to tear down my Heritage my History and Hate me for the color of my Skin!! I am not a Racist and if this post offended you ask yourself one question....are you a racist? If you dislike me based on the Color of my Skin or because of my Heritage things that I have no control over then my Friend it is you that is Racist!
Great song!!😊👍
Thanks very much for your wonderful comment, 'Frank & Tina'. I will be sharing it with the rest of the band. I'm sure they'll be as pleased as I was to read it. It's too bad that much of the current U.S. population only has time for the 'headline' and few seem to recognize that history is complicated and/or care to explore more deeply. It could very well cost us the America we grew up in...
@@2ndSouthCarolinaStringBand Amen! I totaly agree!
And the South is rising again! They are now the guarantors of the spirit of liberty, of the Constitution, of family, of men as men, women as men, of civility and Christian virtue, of God, of romance, of sanity.
I get that completely. This song was popular before the Confederacy. Northerners loved it too. Abe Lincoln loved it.
My grandmother from Virginia taught us Dixie. This same woman resigned from the DAR when they refused to let Marian Anderson sing in Consitution Hall. That's how I know it's about southern pride and is how many saw it. Sad it was and is used to represent the Confederacy, civil war.
Susan Todd- What is sad, is the last sentence that you wrote. It’s a shame your Virginian grandmother didn’t educate you any better on the war and The South.
Written by a Yankee...love our shared heritage north and south. I live In Philly now but my heart is back with the old folks at home on the Suwanee
Dixie 's land never dies.
I'm french. I've been really passionate about the history of the civil war for month now. It starts to make me interested on American revolution also or the history of New York. For the first time, I think, the history of the civil war gives me the envy to travel to USA and I also strarts to feel linked to America as a contiuation of my dear Europe in the new world. And your band is the best band of traditional songs from the civil war, for sure !
you should read up on your American francophone brothers the Cajuns and Acadians. vivre les francophone.
also go listen to the balfa brother's- La danse de Mardi Gras
The more you read about American history, especially in the 18th century, you will see how much it is tied up with Europe. It should be obvious, but many in Europe and America seek to divide our common history.
You are welcome, with Southern hospitality. To get the full experience, I suggest going to a small-medium sized Baptist or Presbyterian church. There will be Southern Gospel music that you should hear.✝️❤️🙂
The French Huguenots settled in North and South Carolina.
@@brianleabickerton3918 When Louis XIV revoked the Edict of Nantes (it had been a religious tolerance edict), it unleashed a wave of persecution against the French Protestants, of which the Hugenots were the largest sect. It created a situation comparable to the Nazi persecution of the Jews, which had the effect of driving out some of their most talented people. Because of their emphasis on Bible study, they had a very high literacy rate, and were a group of professionals that included watchmakers, paper makers, glass blowers and lense makers, and a host of other modern and necessary skills needed in what was for the time a modernizing economy. Many fled to Switzerland, many others went to Holland, some to England, and yes, many went to the New World. Their descendants love among us to this day.
God bless y'all for bringing this great music to life. Living in the great state of Georgia, it brings tears to my eyes listening to the music of our ancestors.
