Rebel Soul That’s....not gonna happen. There may be a civil war in this country but it will be Lib vs. Conservative or white vs non-white. Hard line Confederates are liberals who think they’re conservatives, so you’d probably have to sit that one out.
It took 80 years for Dixie to completely economically recover from the 4-year-long War Between the States and its immediate aftermath, including the “Reconstruction” period, when the South was ruthlessly plundered. It is not hard to see why many Southerners in the immediate post-war decades were deeply bitter about the Confederacy’s defeat.
My ancestors fought under Lee and Jackson. Our property was seized and given to another State entirely. Not a single slave on that land but idiots have been brainwashed by the "glorious Union" lies of freeing the slaves.
@@joeylayton7588 I won't lie, I know my family hasn't. The South still hasn't recovered economically, the sheer amount of poverty in the South is a sure sign of this. It was reduced during primarily the war and reconstruction both, from a glorious beautiful land of sunshine and warmth, to ashes and struggled to rise up from those ashes. When you live in the Midwest and the Northern states you don't really see the impact the war still has on the south. So, they don't really understand why we're "holding onto a 150 year old grudge". Yes, a lot of great things has came out of the south since the war, Pain is a true matron of art, but when the Union came in and destroyed as much of the Southern Culture as they could they injured the soul of the south. Injured, not killed. Despite great attempts of burying the voices and experiences of our dear southern soldiers and their families, they continued on. Yet, to try and get people to understand the Stars and Bars are a sign of Heritage and not hate, is like beating your head against the wall. It leaves you injured and in pain, and gets absolutely nothing done. The South didn't rebel because of slavery. Slavery was a dying practice in the south. Even as soon as the 1850s, they were already beginning to find new ways to produce cotton, that didn't rely on slave-labor. Slaves were expensive, with only wealthy owning slaves and the most wealthy owning multiples. An example of this is how only the most wealthy people own golden everything, ie a golden toilet. You won't be seeing lower class or even really most of the middle class owning a golden toilet, or a mansion with a giant theatre and bowling alley. You likely wouldn't see most normal people with a slave. I hope that puts that in perspective on slavery. No, the belief that the 'Civil War' was about slavery came from Lincoln's propaganda he used against the South during their campaigns. It actually goes back to the Industrial Revolution. The United States was expanding Industry and factories, which were actually pretty terrible places to work. The amount of wage theft ongoing was so high no one had seen its like for, at least, a terribly long time. This began the uptick of trouble, which eventually lead to the establishment of Unions, but I digress, a very disgruntled South decided they were not taking part of this, and decided they were leaving the country, creating their own country. Seperatism spread across the states and The Confederacy most think of during this time was born. After states began to vote to separate, the government began to panic. Lincoln said they couldn't lose the South, because that's where the money was. You see, the South was very wealthy due to the cotton trade and most of the south was very rural. Losing the South would be a huge blow to the country and so they began a smear campaign. Everyone knows how the rest went.
This song is even more powerful and meaningful on 2021. Support from Canada 🇨🇦, from a girl who’s family came to Canada after the war from Virginia. Least we ever forget where we are from and what the South has been through!!!!
im english born but since i was a young boy ive had this thing for the csa i dont know why but i was drawn to south carolina and even now at 54 yrs old i got a rebel flag and a south carolina flag on my wall.
As a retired career U.S. Marine I can tell you from my own life that the men fighting the war don't want to be their, yet they all have a great since of duty. If the people in power in the governments of the world had to do the fighting there would never be another war. Only the fighting man knows the true horrors of war and then when he comes home has to live with that horror the rest of his life. They were brave men who did what their country asked of them no matter what side they were on. Their are no real winners in a war just those who life through it.

@@freddiestewart9233 Lincoln being an abolitionist is a common misunderstanding of his views at the time and his official political positions. Lincoln, in his debates with Stephen Douglass in 1858, made his position on slavery clear. He claimed he would not interfere with the institution where it currently existed but would oppose expansion of slavery into the territories. Privately Lincoln was very much against slavery as was most of the north. However, most northerners before the war were not abolitionists. Abolition was considered the extreme solution to the slavery issue (the immediate and uncompensated emancipation of all slaves). What was more popular was to either contain slavery or to let it die out naturally. Because of this it is entirely possible that Lincoln personally preferred abolition but understood his electability would be diminished if he expressed this publicly. Lincoln also did not immediately push for the abolition of slavery at the beginning of the war because he still hoped for a quick end to the conflict and to return the south to the fold. He reassured the south he would not abolish slavery. Southern politicians though knew that slavery was doomed to die if they stayed in the union. As the war progressed into 1862 and the war was in full swing he enacted the emancipation proclamation which freed all slaves in territories controlled by the rebels. While this would officially free most slaves in the country this did not apply to loyal slave holding territories like Kentucky or Missouri (or territories occupied by Union troops at the time like New Orleans despite being part of a state which rebelled). This was a political move which Lincoln used to have the country one step closer to total abolition while maintaining the loyalty of loyal slave holders. Late in the war most northerners had turned abolitionist since it was the institution of slavery which tore the country apart and so the 13th amendment was passed in 1865. It must also be stated that Lincoln's TOP PRIORITY was to maintain the Union. This came first before slavery.

No lol. It’s well documented that slavery was the primary reason for the rebellion, slavery was the basis for the southern economy and its loss was a huge hit that caused a lot of issues and that is expressly why the war was started.

@@aeoe665 Other than the fact that they were enshrined in the Constitution specifically because the original 13 would have never signed it otherwise, because that would be tantamount to replacing one tyranny with another? Not much, I suppose.
@@aeoe665 Thanks. I mean, that's the whole thing. The Founding Fathers knew full well that different states would have different values, and therefore limited federal powers very much. Let's take today's situation and reverse it: What if the "traditional, Christian conservative states" held the power in Washington and decided, without any actual support in the Constitution (because there isn't any mention of it as a Federal power) that gay marriage was a crime and that any state allowing it could be invaded and subjugated at will? I'd be against that and I'd fully support the "offending" state if they seceded, stating breach of contract as their reason, because that's what it would be.

Montana has a lot in common with the South. I stayed in the Bitterroot wilderness for 6 weeks in 2010 and then rode a bicycle back home to Virginia and met many amazing people from Montana. Some of the kindest and most amazing people I've ever met was during my time in Montana. There is a thing called Southern hospitality because in the South even today we say please, thank you, yes sir, no ma'am, and smile at each other. We also hold doors for strangers, pick up hitchhikers, feed someone who is hungry, and treat others with respect. I experienced this same reality in Montana. It just sucks the feds have stolen so much of your States land. It's easy enough to take it back though.
Not the biggest fan of the song but I am not ashamed of my family’s history and it’s interesting you say that because my 3rd Great Grandfather fought in the 14th GA Regiment CSA and fought in 16 major engagements and was captured at the Battle of The Wilderness in the last ten years of his life he moved to Montana.

This song misrepresents the South. We fought to preserve the Nation as it was intended by our Forefathers, we believed in and fought for the Constitution, and the principles of the Declaration of Independence were our battle cry. I understand the anger, it boils hard beneath my chest, but lets not forget why we we fought and what we stood for. P.S. For all you ignorant Federal propaganda spoon-fed fairies out there... no, it was not slavery we fought for it was freedom from Tyranny. We fought to preserve the sovereignty and freedoms of each State and its people who had joined in that original Confederacy through which we founded our Republic, and when the need arose again we formed a new Confederacy in order to protect with our lives the nation and freedoms we'd already purchased with the blood of patriots.

So fully am I satisfied of this that I would have cheerfully lost all that I have lost by the war, and have suffered all that I have suffered to have this object attained." (Robert E. Lee)
Lee thought slavery was bad because it made white people weaker, not because he believed in rights for black people. Dude owned slaves.
The modern PC image of General Lee is nothing but the lowest form of slander
No lol. It’s well documented that slavery was the primary reason for the rebellion, slavery was the basis for the southern economy and its loss was a huge hit that caused a lot of issues and that is expressly why the war was started.

Seeing what our once proud nation has turned into due to the Imperial Federal government in the swamp of Potomac, this song rings even more true to me today than it did when I first heard it years and years ago. States' rights, and long live the Bonnie Blue Flag!
Whatz old is new again, your chance to get it right is comming
Yeah I heard that a lot but what did you need those “States Rights” for? If I may ask.
@@aeoe665 Other than the fact that they were enshrined in the Constitution specifically because the original 13 would have never signed it otherwise, because that would be tantamount to replacing one tyranny with another?
Not much, I suppose.
@@misha6699 Hmm actually someone who come up with a good Answer to that question expected something way different.
@@aeoe665 Thanks. I mean, that's the whole thing. The Founding Fathers knew full well that different states would have different values, and therefore limited federal powers very much.
Let's take today's situation and reverse it: What if the "traditional, Christian conservative states" held the power in Washington and decided, without any actual support in the Constitution (because there isn't any mention of it as a Federal power) that gay marriage was a crime and that any state allowing it could be invaded and subjugated at will?
I'd be against that and I'd fully support the "offending" state if they seceded, stating breach of contract as their reason, because that's what it would be.
God bless the confederacy and god bless Robert E Lee, the south will rise again

In the late 1840s, there was a war in Spain. The carlist wars. The Carlist forces lost the war and many fled to the south. Most ended up fighting in confederate regiments. Respect to the Confederacy, from Spain.
Few know that the south was not WASP like the north
@@iceberg1229 wtf? No the South was absolutely WASP, perhaps even more than the North during the civil war due to high rates of immigration to the North from ireland and Germany. Most of the Southern leaders were of British descent
@@fyrdman2185 not entirely true, their ruling class was wasp, but the people were a mixture of earlier irish, Scottish, french, spanish, and of course english. There might've been germans too but i cant remember
@@fyrdman2185 not to mention all the natives who helped fight the union as well, basically all im saying is the south was not all WASP as people like to pretend it was

Alright let’s get something straight here! First of all people can love there lands if they want to that’s their right don’t call us traitors for fighting for what we thought was right SECOND! The invasion was cause because of US may I repeat US who fired on fort Sumter so really the confederacy started the war we played as much as a role as the Union did both sides are at fault I still love the southern land and it’s Dixie flags and heritage of rebellion but cmon...the union didn’t invade randomly it was us firing on Sumter to force Lincoln’s hand for war

I'm from Montana and I love your guys music
Montana has a lot in common with the South. I stayed in the Bitterroot wilderness for 6 weeks in 2010 and then rode a bicycle back home to Virginia and met many amazing people from Montana. Some of the kindest and most amazing people I've ever met was during my time in Montana.
There is a thing called Southern hospitality because in the South even today we say please, thank you, yes sir, no ma'am, and smile at each other. We also hold doors for strangers, pick up hitchhikers, feed someone who is hungry, and treat others with respect. I experienced this same reality in Montana.
It just sucks the feds have stolen so much of your States land. It's easy enough to take it back though.
Not the biggest fan of the song but I am not ashamed of my family’s history and it’s interesting you say that because my 3rd Great Grandfather fought in the 14th GA Regiment CSA and fought in 16 major engagements and was captured at the Battle of The Wilderness in the last ten years of his life he moved to Montana. Don’t really know why as all his family including myself now still reside in Georgia

They may have lost but this song is more relevant today then it was back then.
I love this side of the internet
This song misrepresents the South. We fought to preserve the Nation as it was intended by our Forefathers, we believed in and fought for the Constitution, and the principles of the Declaration of Independence were our battle cry. I understand the anger, it boils hard beneath my chest, but lets not forget why we we fought and what we stood for.
P.S. For all you ignorant Federal propaganda spoon-fed fairies out there... no, it was not slavery we fought for it was freedom from Tyranny. We fought to preserve the sovereignty and freedoms of each State and its people who had joined in that original Confederacy through which we founded our Republic, and when the need arose again we formed a new Confederacy in order to protect with our lives the nation and freedoms we'd already purchased with the blood of patriots.
