- John Gale "Johnny" Horton (April 30, 1925 - November 5, 1960) was an American country music and rockabilly singer most famous for his semi-folk, so-called "saga songs" which began the "historical ballad" craze of the late 1950s and early 1960s. With them, he had several major successes, most notably in 1959 with the song "The Battle of New Orleans" (written by Jimmy Driftwood), which was awarded the 1960 Grammy Award for Best Country & Western Recording. The song was awarded the Grammy Hall of Fame Award, and in 2001 ranked No. 333 of the Recording Industry Association of America's "Songs of the Century". His first hit, a number 1 song in 1959, was "When It's Springtime in Alaska (It's Forty Below)".
During 1960, Horton had two other successes with "North to Alaska" for John Wayne's movie, North to Alaska, and "Sink the Bismarck". Horton is a member of the Rockabilly Hall of Fame and the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame

He was a high school history teacher, who used music to teach his students about America’s past. I wish I had a teacher like that.
@Gaming Videos Not even the same person. The racist singer Johnny Rebel that sung those songs died in 2016. The man in this video Johnny Horton who was FAR from racist died in 1960.
RB you certainly need a teacher in music history, because you are abolutely wrong, here.
Queria ter um professor assim
Actually that was another man,not Mr.Horton.Johnny Horton loved the songs of Huddy "Leadbelly"Ledbetter,New Orleans black bluesman from the 1930s.He was not a schoolteacher,that was an older man whose songs Johnny covered.Mr.Horton recorded Ledbelly's song Rock Island Line and he was not a racist.
@@Amoeba744 johnny rebel continues to tarnish the names of david allen coe, johnny horton… and even weird al in the age of misinformation
If you listen to the words, it is not about the South or North being right, it is simply honoring the thousands of young men who died protecting the land that they loved.
well said you have a open heart and wisdom
Rafael Pinefa yeah all 3% of people owned slaves. And that were the very rich people so they really didn’t fight on the war, maybe 1 percent of southern soldiers owned slaves.
Exactly people always try and attach their agenda
@Rafael Pinefa that would've the union blockades and 70 million tariffs on 80 million in goods. Get a clue!
Rafael Pinefa it was express in the early writing that slavery was an evil but they could not take it away at the time but it’s just like the elites now, they really don’t do much out side of the stock market for their business. They have people doing damn near everything for them. Other then the fact they were SLAVES there is very little difference.
Can you believe he’s not in the Hall of Fame? That’s a shame.
Yes it is a terrible shame, and he couldn't be more deserving I will never understand why he is not in the hall of fame I really don't.
@@jeffreyhicks4651 Oh you don't understand? Well, you see he wrote and proudly sang songs such as 'Nigga Hatin' me'. That's why he isn't in the Hall of Fame.
bammohammo that was Johnny Rebel you fucking idiot
politics it must be politics and pc justwrong
bammohammo he did not write or sing that song. That was a guy calling himself Johnny Rebel, and he didn’t even sound like Horton.
Johnny Horton ... most under appreciated singer of all time. A legend!
John McIlroy totally agree friend
He is my distant cousin
i 100% agree most people don't even know who he is anymore one day i was humming sink the bismarck and my boss stopped and looked up and asked be what i was humming when i replied he smiled and walked away next week i for a 1.75 hourly wage increase
Friedrich Wilhelm that’s incredible i got 4 A+’s in my wood works class because the teacher saw that on my phone i had “if the south woulda won”
What a true original!! To all the thumbs down you must be idiots or listen to this new Tractor Rap Crap or both😁
He is one of the best singers in the last 100 years . The range in his voice is unbelievable.
It's that adams apple. watch it bounce in and out. lol.
An Honor to American History...Not the Destruction of it.
@J. J. Hallo You lack Historical Context.
He did sing...n-word hating me
@@dezmod1644 That was a guy called Johnny Rebel and it was written 6 years after Horton died.
He taught history. Easy way to teach to his students
Yep, we shouldn't destroy history. Too bad the GOP is trying to ban the study of the history of racism.
Johnny Horton sang about history and the truth. A true American.
Who says this man doesn't belong in the country music hall of fame. He is one of the most under appreciated country singers. He deserves that spot on that wall.
Regardless of how you feel about politics this song sings the praise of the courage of the southern soldier. All soldiers die brave men regardless of what side you're on.
Amen
@@johnlewis2868 Great reply !
Losers. They fly the wrong flag. They flew the white flag
@@dickieknutz2933 They died fighting for something they believed in.
@J. J. Hallo The ideology of why they are fighting has nothing to do with the bravery of the foot soldier. Courage is courage regardless of what it's for. You're confused. The Japanese were one of the bravest if not the bravest soldiers of ww2 but their reason for fighting was questionable. I salute their bravery but I do not admire their cause.
I feel like I'm talking to third graders......
He’s buried right near my Grandparents. Has a big Guitar head stone....
Where were he buried
He is a good ol boy
I love this song where are the true country singers now the ones at sung with heart and soul
Mike Frazier Hank Williams Jr step daddy
God bless that patriot.
This is the America I grew up in. I miss it a lot.
Me too I hope God comes soon, real soon.
Hello Oklahoma... I'm from Ft. Smith... been to the reservqation many many times ... Love Johnny Horton
Yeah conservatives and liberals ruined it both of them can fuck offf
This was my world growing up wish it had never changed

We need more Johnny Reb’s these days!
Amen to that!!!
I was born a buckeye from Ohio in 1964 lived outside of Nashville for about 2 years in the early 80's. However I've been a Johnny Reb since I first started studying on the war between the states when I was about 10 years old. Also Johnny Horton is the greatest country music singer I've ever heard (thanks Dad for playing his music when I was a little kid).
Need to appreciate the ones there are
I’d prefer to have less racists
SR, nope there are plenty of assholes around.
He could have had many more hits, but his life was cut short. What a voice.
Absolutely Buddy Holly as well.
There is NO music like old music. Back when it was about life before money. Gotta love OL Johnny
way to go!! great message about johnny horton !!
Well said brother.
I can’t believe how bad music is now
You obviously know nothing about the music industry from "back when", naive fool.
@@thatpillowguy773there's some good stuff amongst the trash but country died in 2003
My family fought for the North and South in the Civil War........I respect and honor both.
Lots of families had sons on both side praying that they wouldn't see their brother in their sights one day.
@@doughesson Very true, but sadly some did.
@@montanamountainmen6104 My family was one of them. My great great Grandfather & his brother were both at Gettysburg & made it through. Amos deserted after he didn't see any Rebel uniforms after Pickett's charge & his brother lost an arm to a rebel bullet.
@@doughesson Nice family history.
And they were all decent Americans...not tearing down our society with disgusting acceptance of evil.
Where are the "Johnny Hortons" of Today !
Upchurch and Adam Calhoun
that kind of American will not be seen again sadly ever.
Labeled racist
shut the hell up its never about race its about states rights and the right of a state to make its own laws and for a people to govern themselves@@davidisaacson5993
@@adventurestateofmind4460 lol
The subject was where are the Johnny Hortons songs of today. Bud
There is a reason you have two eyes or ears and only one mouth.
No one ever doubted the courage of Johnny Reb. Merely the cause they died for. Call them lots of things disparaging but you can never call them cowards.
Amen
'Merely the cause they died for' I grew up talking with the children of Confederate Veterans and I am from a long line of Veterans. Some fought for the Americans and some fought for the Brits during the Revolutionary War. Some fought for the South and some for the North during the War of Northern Aggression. Reading and hearing their stories ( first hand in one case) convinced me that the War of Northern Aggression was not simply about slavery. Many in the South never owned slaves and two of the largest slave owners were Black themselves. No, to reduce this to merely a fight over slavery is to dishonor the Americans (North and South) who died for their beliefs.
@@michaelmatthews5814 History not many know and fewer want to admit.
@@michaelmatthews5814 amen!
@@michaelmatthews5814 100% horseshit. The South fired first. "War of Northern Aggression" my ass.
I firmly believe if he hadn't died so young he would have been as big as Hank or cash
You can pull down pull down their statues and change all the army bases names.However you cannot earase the bravery and courage of the Southern soldiers in the Civil War.!
By soldiers you mean traitors right?
They took up arms to kill Americans
@@lordrayden3045 -- You Idiot. They to were Americans.
A true singing legend who died so young.
reminds us of hank williams !! they would of been great as a team!! salute
Notice how he sounds the same live as he does on record/tape (that's how I remember it) that is in the past. Singers today cannot sing. Singers like him are missed!!!❤❤
He had it all,what a voice,loved his personality,and he was so Handsome .love everything about him.
Yes.
battle of new orleans
OMG!!! I had forgotten about this song. My daddy was a long haul truck driver and his CB handle was "johnny reb". He did this for 50 to 60 years or more. He was well known by all the truckers back in the day.
Rest in peace, daddy. My own johnny reb. 😘
My Brother Raymond was a Long Haul Trucker also. His CB Handle was DIXIE. He had a plate on his truck with “DiIXIE” on it. I have it in my back window. I’m guessing some think I’m honoring the South with that tag. Yes, but mostly my brother Raymond.
One of the best thing about most singers of this era was the fact that they had good voices and you could actually understand the lyrics, unlike a lot of the trash the that started out through the seventies and eighties when they played the music loud to cover the fact that they couldn't carry a tune if they had it in a suitcase!
What about Tom Petty?
Actually started in 60s & before.
@@kylekullin2520 He's dead, can't carry a tune either.
@@stevebilliter Listen to "You Wreck Me", you may change your mind!
@@kylekullin2520 Nope, the title alone turns me off. Very negative indeed. I'll pass...
What you don't seem to understand like just about everyone else seems not to: I have my own preferences--likes and dislikes.
I try and look at things form a Biblical perspective. Satan is a master musician--he used to be the leader of the heavenly choir and he couches nice sounding music in objectionable lyrics, thus transforming one's brain without them even knowing it.
"But that's just life." For Christians the old life of seeing and experiencing sin everywhere will change to holiness and perfection.
"even though you lost, they speak highly of your name." That's being changed lately.
@Nobby Heads Why would Republicans celebrate the confederates losing the war? Lincoln was a republican, don't you mean republicans celebrate winning the war? Or do you mean democrats are still lamenting losing the war to the north, considering democrats were the confederacy?
@@annereilley4892 in the immediate aftermath of the war the Union soldiers almost universally forgave the Confederates. It was Union and Confederate veterans combined who started the tradition of reenacting battles, for example. There was no hate remaining between the sides that actually survived the war.
Which is why it is so obnoxious that you come here trying to imply things and saying it is weird for Republicans to not hate the Confederates.
@@robertmartin8907 Oh I see your confusion. You're reading my response to someone who deleted their comment. Their comment didn't make sense, so my comment probably doesn't make sense without it.
He probably deleted it because I made him realize what he said was dumb.
Stick to my original post, which is that attitudes have changed recently, with toppling of statues that everyone had been fine with for over a century and vilifying the south. I'm not justifying it, just observing it.
@@annereilley4892 Attitudes have not changed, we just have more communist scum who want to erase and vilify American history.
@@robertmartin8907 Yeah, now we're on the same page. I should have added SMH at the end of my original post.
You're right about the older people, their attitudes haven't changed, but the movement you mentioned has spread to the mainstream and the state and federal governments are giving into them. They will keep teaching the young people and the old will disappear.
This is a song about brave men and on both sides, I am confederate and I love this song cause it ain't about hate
The first time I heard Johnny Horton sing. I was hooked for life. When other kids were listening to 80s rock. I Was listening to the Great Johnny Horton.
I listen to him and I am 9 years old
Whoever Johnny sang about, he did it with respect and reverence!
Im 85 and I love this music and ill his songs
Died too young
My dad is 92 years old and we still setting listen to the Johnny Horton CDs I enjoy every one of them this man has great songs and vocals and was one of the greatest recording artists I've ever heard he seems about true things and life things that people need to think about things that mean something and we're close to the heart some of those still make me tear up today
Most people think of Johnny Horton as a country singer but he recorded some great rockabilly songs One of my favorite singers
I've heard his rockabilly songs, and im a youngster, his rockabilly was influenced by Elvis Presley, and its some pretty good stuff, Take Me Like I Am, and I'm A One Woman Man are two of the greatest rockabilly songs, but thats only tapping into what he got.
Even 50 years later, this still gives me shivers and goosebumps.
70 years later
John,
I think it's about time you start to earn your keep around here...
"Just turn me aloose Im flat ready."
He's always ready friends,
And there you have it!
I like that quirky guy.
Horton sounds flat confident.
Raise the flag of Dixie high above the trees and let it wave from sea to shining sea. If it's good enough for Jackson and good enough for Lee then hotdamn Alabam it's good enough for me!
sir your poem is excellent and should be in a civil war movie!! this canadian gives you an honorable salute soldier !! forwaaaarrd maaaarrrchh!!
Awesome southern brother!!!
I am a descendant of President Davis's army. I will never be ashamed to love Dixie or her flag. And when the rebel flag is outlawed, I'll proudly be called a rebel because I will never disown my heritage! Dio Vindice!
@Nobby Heads
If you think the confederacy had anything in common with a group of pure evil individuals who murdered 7 million innocent people, you're a complete idiot
@Nobby Heads
Lol, you're a pathetic little troll, trying to pick a fight or get some sort of reaction. But I am not interested in having a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent.
@Nobby Heads you’re a lying socialist just like hitler. Germany has never been anything but a pita to the rest of the world. It is the home of modern bigotry. All bigots look to Germany for directions. Many socialist too. It was the destruction of human civilization in Europe multiple times.
@@talisikid1618 .
Does that translate: God vindicated? I love languages, well at least some of them. I love your comment by the way. Right on.
A pure shame he's not in the Hall of Fame. They put Richie Valencia in with one record and last year Dolly Parton!! What a travesty.
I'm British and I love this song. Great to hear Johnny sing it live. Thanks.
I am Danish and don't love this song.
@@dkxilef Why
I'm Hispanic and so driven towards this sound. I feel like I can relate in some wierd way, I feel connected to Johnny reb in the south.
I knew of Johnny at age 11 am 72 now still love all his songs. So talented. Miss him.
Hes my favorite singer i miss him
I knew of Mr.Horton at the age of fifteen I'm now sixteen.
I grew up listening to his music my parents played, I l9ved it always made me proud to be from the South. I never looked at the Civil war as political growing I always thought of the flag as a symbol of the South not racist in any way, I can't stand Democrats or anything they are about but i will always love the South our Southern way of life, Johnny Hortons songs and President Trump, he win the election by the way!!!
Well said. It is the flag of freedom. Deo Vindice!
It’s a flag of treason and the embodiment of white Supremacist,I will take a big 💩 on every confederate flag I see, and I hope every confederate soldier is 🔥in hell as we speak 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love these old southern style songs. I'm from Australia and the southern accent and traditions I find so cool. As far as slavery goes: Its happened all over the world from the middle east to Kenya. Even here in Australia my Irish ancestors were slaves to the rich English. But as my great uncle said "its a waste of time and energy hating ghosts"
To all the Confederates that lost their lives in that war rest in peace and may God bless you for your sacrifice
Amen, they fought with valor and distinction.
Bruce Sexton and the union alike, as both were fighting for what they thought was right.
@@jamesvangurpan1959 Yes, and Lincoln allowed it so he is guilty, too.
J Wimbish that’s just your hate, not north vs south. You’d be surprised if you actually knew how much of the “north” is conservative in every aspect.
@ВЕСЕЛЬЕ ВЕСЕЛЬЕ Real intelligent debate you have. Wow! Impressive....
Americans today shouldn't disrespect past generations for what they believed in! It was a whole different political and social ideal then! The confederate south fought and suffered horribly! I think the song says it all even though not everyone agrees! ITS OUR HISTORY RESPECT THE DEAD SOLDIERS AND LEAVE THEIR MEMORIALS ALONE
you would be very helpful to be a spokes lady for the daughters of the confederacy!! your message is true and admirable!! sons of confederate veterans of canada!! greetings!!
Sincere greetings to you from the USA, history is fascinating, isn't it? A person can learn a lot.
@@maryspaabeck2074 blessings to you and your family!! thanks!!

Johnny Horton..a country Music legend..phenomenal..great guitar player and singer..
this'll make a southern boy shed a tear. God bless Robert E Lee.
man, would this piss the protesters off, salute confederate flag
Think about it. do you really think they give a sh ..t. I suspect we are being faked out. I think somebody is trying to piss us off for no reason.. Somebody is trying to trigger us.
You mean the looters, Arsonists, anti American turds!
@@davedvorak8728 Absolutely Dave, people who are doing those things need to have consequences follow their actions. Thankfully some of the protesters turned those people in. And that one guy who made Molotov cocktails should get jail time. I know all protesters are notviolent. I also know that not all republicans are racists. or gun totting fear ridden un educated trump supporters. I should know, I am a life long republican and , I refuse to call myself a trump supporter just because he calls himself a republican today ( trump was a democrat when convenient for him few years back) . trump is just not a good man. You play you pay, regardless of party or gender or race. I tell myself each day. We are all Americans, do not let yourself be fooled into thinking otherwise.
Those protesters are fighting for respect and dignity... so were the soldiers who fought for the confederacy...can’t we all agree to just be decent to each other? Just sayin...
@@tomlund4951 You mean the looters, criminals and arsonists? BLM is a marxist?communist group...Get a clue...They could not care less about black lives...Educate yourself before you make a goofy comment, just sayin...
It's a shame that we can't have a lesson in why people wrote songs and what the words actually meant . 😢 I cry for out young people who are being taught to hate each other because they look different. We are all Americans so we should all just be red white and blue ! Good bless the USA 🇱🇷🦅🙏❤️
Nah, those days are over..My generation despises the American northern government..
Johnny Horton had several hits and was only 35 when he died in a car crash. North to Alaska was his last hit released only 4 days before he died. He had a good voice and didn't put out a bad song.
He and actor Ward Bond died on the same day (Nov. 5, 1960), three days before the Kennedy Nixon presidential election. He had finished a show at the Skyline Club in Austin that night and was killed in acar crash in Milano, Texas.
Johnny Horton was really good and I remember him well. The crazies that destroyed Jefferson Davis's Monument need to listen to this song and learn.
Sadly they are too stupid to listen 😢.
Yes, they do. Especially the part about President Lincoln.
Dude was so respectful all throughout the intro. I love this behavior so much. It's so cultural, his responses and all. Its so American.
Died way before his time RIP Johnny
Fought for your folks but didn’t die in vain, even though you lost they speak highly of your name 🇺🇸
This is my mother's fourth cousin
Conway Twitty (AKA Harold Jenkins) was my Great-Grandmother's cousin
This man would sing a song a tell you story and you could actually imagine it in your mind being there! North to Alaska, sink the Bismarck, battle of New Orleans he was a true story teller and a great writer/singer my favorite has got to be springtime in Alaska
Heritage NOT Hate.
Hell Yeah! Im Proud Of My Southern Heritage And Southern Pride And Im Proud Of My Great And Awesome Ancestors And I Will Always Honor My Great And Awesome Ancestors And I Will Always Show Respect To Them And Support Them And I Will Always Fly My Confederate Flags Heritage Not Hate I Live And Die Here In Dixieland I Will Always Take A Stand Here In Dixieland!

@@bammohammo let's look at the percentage% of violence in hip hop culture and the certain individuals who embrace & live by it.

@@bammohammo I think you're referring to the artist Johnny Rebel (this is Johnny Horton singing the song Johnny Reb).
Good Old Days. Music has lost alot. You fought like HELL Johnny Reb. Thats respect.
@Frank Robinson god bless you for blessing others sir!!
agreed! these poor southern soldiers paid a big price for their independence!! a southern confederate salute to you sir!!
I remember being introduced to Johnny Horton's greatest songs as a young kid by my father. I remember sitting in the living room with my dad listening to Horton's Greatest Hits 8 track while mom was cooking dinner. The smell of pork steak, fried potatoes, and biscuits cooking and listening to great music reminded me that life was good. Miss and love you mom and dad and RIP Mr. Horton.
Makes me remember the Virginia I grew up in during the 70s and 80s........Before the yankees and carpetbagging liberals invaded us. God I miss those days of PRIDE IN WHERE YOUR FROM!! DEO VINDICE!!
Well said !
you speak like a good ole southern soldier!! hurrah for dixie hurrah!!
long live the South
There's no debate. That man had a beautiful voice and could sing.
That song come out when I was born 1948 December I always claim that for my song my great-great granddaddy fought for civil war I'm a southern born and Southern bread almost 73 years ago thank you Johnny Horton
This song is so sad and so perfect. Listening in 2021 and wishing I could play it for some of these stuffed shirt plliticians.
The beauty of this song is that it’s a song for the boots.
Taken in that context, it is fantastic, no matter your prejudices.
Especially if you consider the boots didn’t have shoes.
Still touches me after all these years. God bless our dear south.
Johnny Horton was the very first record I ever bought. Don't even remember how old I was. maybe 12? (money from my paper route) It's 2022 I still listen to his greatest hits album
You fought all the way, Johnny Reb!
Great entertainer with a great song. God bless the South
god bless you sir for honoring the south!! a confederate salute to you from the great white north!!
@@majorreb6616 Yes, let us honor the villains who forced Asians to fight their losing war at gunpoint!
RIP Johnny you were an amazing country singer
We sang this song on our way to the Gettysburg 160th reenactment.
Man, the voice on that man. One of the best. Still gives me chills in 2020
This has always been my most favorite song since I first heard it when I was just 5,,,I am 65 now and it still remains MY song. Been a Reb all my life thus far.
The purpose of the Confederacy was to keep slavery going forever. Jefferson Davis said so himself. There are better “lost causes” to sympathize with. Like, ones that actually existed. Which the “lost cause of the Confederacy” never did.
I have a few ancestors who died in the revolutionary war and the Civil war
I did too.
Died to soon I love his songs
Yes he's one of the best singer you can have has a very beautifully songs you dont hear this songs any where #1my favorites one in the world love all his songs.a wonderful person can sing this song that is history. Congrats Johnny Horton.❤
I sure pray this one ain't "cancelled ".Combat veteran myself and I fuckin revere the brave grunts of the CSA.
Hell yeah!
And this is the song my grandpa named my dad and then me after
Johnny Reb Dukes Jr you have An awesome name that’s a very cool story
That is interesting, it's one of my favorite songs.
Good job Johnny reb dukes
The Best! God Bless Dixie !!!
a salute to you soldier from the great white north!!
As a Northerner, I admire this song,
This song has made me cry tears of respect for Johnny Reb, and I’m the son of Danish immigrants in California.
Thanks Johnny Reb, and Horton
One of the best singers ever, a true American, hero just a perfect individual, all his song were the best.
Rest In Peace, Mr. Johnny Horton, I heard your song, when I was 9 years old, back in 1959. Thank you for your upload.
What is wrong in this picture? People wear suits, are classy and have no tattoos. They were patriotic, too. Wow. It was my America. Today's country - it's yours.
Gen zer here, the past is the past bro. enjoyed what happened, but america need to Keep moving forawards
Moved. Out. Won't protect anyone from criminals...intentiional...see ya
Patriotic??? Are you kidding me?? He’s an apologist for the people who seceded from the United States, fought against the United States, hated the United States, and were *defeated* by the United States. Such American patriotism!
Go further back to the 1700s and men would wear high heels and powder their face white. Visually style changes, its the intention that matters.
@@mr.100rupees3 Furthermore, somebody who sympathizes with the Confederate cause is hardly a “patriotic” American. The Confederacy hated the United States, refused to be a part of the United States, was an enemy of the United States, waged a long and bloody war against the United States, and was *defeated* by the United States. Neo-Confederate sympathies are therefore inherently anti-American. Praising the Confederate cause while also praising American patriotism is like wearing a Red Sox cap to match your Yankees shirt. (“match”) You can’t have both at the same time.
My grandfather had two uncles that were born in Gibson County, Tennessee, and like thousands of other families in the South, they grew up on a farm and never owned slaves, but they fought for the Confederacy because their homeland was being invaded by armies from the North. As everyone knows, ANYBODY that fought for the South if vilified today.
I agree that most southerners fought for their coutries (States) but the South did start the war. Remember Ft Sumter? Anyway, you are good Americans and don't deserve the hate.
John1948SevenD
Yes, you are right. The South DID fire the first shot. All that happened a long time ago. No hate here. But also i do not want to be hated & resented for something that nobody today on this earth had anything to do with. I sure appreciate you, and you have a good day.
@@John1948SevenD As history shows, all States in the past considered themselves SOVEREIGN and the federal government was given power from the States. So, in actuality, the States hold the power since they were before the federal government. From the Declaration of Independence, it is understood that the people have the right to abolish a government at any time that they feel it is stepping upon their liberties and lessening their freedoms. The people of South Carolina said we no longer wish to be part of the United States and therefore it left the Union. Lincoln and the rest of the federal government should have respected this and recalled the troops from the fort. Lincoln was intent on bringing the South back into the Union and the reason was for taxes and Lincoln even stated this as his reason. It was Lincoln who was the aggressor. Southerners will never forget what the Northern armies and carpet baggers did to the South, but many have forgiven over time.
Less than 10% owned slaves.
David Isaacson
You are correct, Mr. Isaacson. But as you well know, all people that wore Confederate gray & all of their descendants are considered racists in today's America.
Right up to the 1970's and 80's people respected the Rebs (southerns) for fighting the good fight even though they lost. Now all that respect is gone. A new generation of haters who hate because they are told to. Sheeple marching in lockstep of obedience to the state of liberalism. Sad but true.
mountainfolks i know, it’s so sad. Because although I hates the Yankee nation, I still love my Yankee brothers.
G.morning brother I was thinking about me during the Wahpeton powwow
mountainfolks I still respect them for fight they put and I respect general lee for not leading them into fruitless battle when he knew all was lost
Good point most of them men that died never owned a single slave, and defended their home from the North. Of course the same elite who curse on the south now were the same elite who built their empires upon the backs of Blacks and poor people everywhere. So once again they spin their web and tell us what to think and believe. Same bullshit with the Irish famine, did anybody wonder how they survived before drake introduced the potato, or why do a people on an Island in a sea full of fish and a land full of crops starve to death = Line up for the cool aid and tyranny, it is an old story.
@sly mikel the fact that you call it "the" united states rather than "these" united states is a point of fact that you are clueless.
Clear strong voice listening his songs adding emotions❤
An amazing singer with an amazing voice that would sadly never grow old.
Surprised they havent pulled this statute down yet ! MAGA 🇺🇸
I agree,.....
I am glad we are one nation, under God and indivisiable. However I salute the courage and honor of the soilders of the North and the South. All American heroes.

Johnny Horton songs played regularly in my home growing up. Johnny Reb and Sink the Bismark were especially loved by me...
- President Lincoln Asks the Band to Play “Dixie” | .
Lee surrendered to General Ulysses S. Grant on April 9, 1865. The next
day, despite rain and mud there were people in the streets of
D.C. celebrating. Throughout the city, bonfires blazed and celebratory rockets whistled.
Crowds had gathered here the day before, expecting a triumphal speech in
the aftermath of Robert E. Lee’s surrender to Ulysses S. Grant on April
9 at Appomattox Court House, Va. A procession of some 2,000 Navy Yard
workmen, dragging six boat howitzers that lobbed explosive shells into
the sky, trekked across the city. The crowd swelled on its relentless
march to the White House; bands played and revelers sang “The
Star-Spangled Banner,” “Hail Columbia” and other patriotic tunes.
Dixie was used to bring the nation together.....
Eternal respect and honor to the men in grey...live forever in the hearts of every southerner...you rest in GODs arms now and your home with momah...no polotics..yust home..sweet home..
