Aiden Hall 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.
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
@Mikeduke324 , No I do not think so. It is just in my eyes, I see this as a beautiful piece of music. This is not any type of flexing, Just something I thought of.
Would those be the same kind of 'morons' that 'ran off' to Lexington Green and the Concord Bridge in 1775... a mere 86 years earlier ?@@withlessAsbestos
The original is neither,@@dukejordan8147 . It is a minstrel-stage 'walk-around' song that is merely a song about lost love and longing for times gone by in the south.

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.
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.
@Cameron Putt did you miss the part of us history that said the rich in the confederacy exploited the poor white population to fight a war in favor of slavery? it was all about slavery. how can you defend that and not be racist

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.
The entire arrangement is perfect, but the man in the middle playing the guitar has an especially great voice. Bravo. I've always loved this song, and this is easily the best rendition I've ever heard.
Well, thanks very much, @smg1831 !!! You're quite right. The 'man in the middle' DOES have a very fine singing voice - together with genuine enthusiasm when employing it ! A formidable combination in a singer and a huge asset to any vocal group.

A timeless classic that never gets old. One of the most significant and valuable pieces of music in American history. Simply a great, great tune! And very well played, too.
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.✝️❤️🙂
@@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.

@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.

As I was born in the heart of Dixie, Alabama, when I hear this song I think of helping my grandparents out on the farm. What I would give to go back to my family farm, but it’s gone just like my grandparents. I will never leave Dixie, the north and west isn’t for me
I’m proud to listen to your music by a U tube. I’m so sad to see Dixie's flag's and a portrait's being broken by the angle of the discrimination. History is history. I believe that Dixie's soldier fought for Dixie. In Japan also fought by a western army and an eastern army before about 400 years in Japan, and discounted. It's still effected I had lived in NC in 1994, but I found the financial differentiality. I will always support your team.
@No-ql en Estados como Alabama y Misisipi son muy conservadores. Y tienen esa cultura de música folk que es de lo que trata esta canción. También el red neck realmente no es un racista si no un blanco pobre sureño.
Feel like I am in a theater with professionals. Great harmony. Everyone is playing their instrument well. Singing tone is so well done. It's just awesome.
correct it was about paying taxes (north) and no taxes (south) north only did "free slaves" becusae (from what i assume) they couldent find anyone to fight for "pro taxes" so had to toss "anti slavory" i know some historical document explains lincon did NOT WANT to "free the slaves' but had to for "political clout"
@@BullrockMcHammergeilyeah the Confederacy fought for the right to own their "property" among the rights to other things, they we're succeeding rebels or in other words, traitors (love the song btw)
All my ancestors fought for the Union, as I probably would have. But we had nothing on this song. There will always be a place in our hearts and history for Southern treasure like this.
Thanks, Tim, for your thoughtful forbearance and understanding. My brother and my ggf was 4 years in the 26th Illinois Vol. Inf'y Reg't. The other, 7th Tenn Cavalry under N.B. Forrest for 4 years. True students of the conflict soon recognize the profound respect both sides had for the other. The Union definitely won, but the south absolutely had the best music...
Im still impressed that the song is still being kept as a reminder of the great Dixieland, I hope this song will be immortalized forever! God bless from Canada!

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.
Rewriting history and altering the past was once something that was practiced in the USSR and the Third Reich. I never thought that it would spread to the US.

"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".

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.
The entire arrangement is perfect, but the man in the middle playing the guitar has an especially great voice. Bravo. I've always loved this song, and this is easily the best rendition I've ever heard.
Well, thanks very much, @smg1831 !!! You're quite right. The 'man in the middle' DOES have a very fine singing voice - together with genuine enthusiasm when employing it ! A formidable combination in a singer and a huge asset to any vocal group.
They have real talent.

@@thoughtsuponatime847 >muh evil cuz of slavery
By that logic every nation in the past that had some what of a slave trade should be view as evil and if you do support those nations you're muh ignorant racist ,
history and politics should not be explained as who is evil or good and that goes in a idea that emotions are important while regarding history and politics in general but emotions are litterally the reason you're not rational on those subjects (litteral basic sence) ,
in the end its more about interest of the nations and their cultural differences (basic political knowledge , im not even an expert on that)

Music from the Heart of the American South! Fantastic! Well Done, Gentleman!
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.
At 75, Dixie is always on my mind. We nw have so many transplants and too many of them have no respect for my home. Born in the South and I guess I will die here. Love it, never leave it until the good Lord comes for me. I only hope my old Southern friends will be there to greet me. The old ones like me still proud of her.

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.
God bless America!

True students of the conflict soon recognize the profound respect both sides had for the other. The Union definitely won,
but the south absolutely had the best music...
The Union had a Union version to mock them and it is actually kinda creative but there are stereotypes in the song so this one gets a 1-up

"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 !
Louisiane, DIX, Chesapeake battle, Lafayette, french armies fighting the brits, GT de Beauregard, Gen Mouton, the French left an impressive mark on US history didn't they?
Saddly, we didn't find good land for wine...
Cool history!
Lincoln was a Southerner. He probably had to sleep on the couch a lot, his wife's family owned slaves.🤔
that's not surprising, Kentucky is actually the land of Lincoln. Like everything around here the North took credit for thing's in our society😔

@@danielkelley3700 - Absolutely - that's what I meant by _anglo-celtic origins,_ we're all descended from you lot!! :)
Allô français canadien - huh?
Hah, will never be as cool as our germanic drums in the deep forest 💪. Joking, brits are half angles saxons and frisians too
@Allô français canadien please get out
I'm Canadian, but my mom really liked the south so I have this song stuck in my brain 24/7.
It's not only art but its history also❤ . This is part of our country
God Bless Dixie, God Bless America, and God bless Ya’ll. No matter what people say, never stop playing songs of our southern heritage!
He'll yeah Brother

Matt McCaughen Agreed, just like all of the songs they play.

Howdy and Salute - Grew up - Raised in Texas ! Hooray from Germany !! :-)
I've never been to the U.S. in my life, but man do I love this song. I listen to your rendition nearly every day on my way to and back from work. Absolutely fantastic job, I salute you fellas!
Gretting from a Cuban fella that loves Dixie's Land
Thank you very much !
A decent amount of Cubans fought for the south.
