General Stonewall Jackson "Gods & Generals" - LifeLessons from Movies

[07somar]

I disliked only because you put a retarded song would have been better off without it

[FatBird11]

If more young men admired great men like General Jackson we'd be much better off. Many of their "role models" today are vile.

[TheLoyalOfficer]

Dumb song doesn't even rhyme.

Illiterate fool.

THe American Civil War was a crisis that had been brewing ever since the Constitution was adopted in the 1780s. The competing interests and views of North and South. Different economic and social views. And by and large the Federal government was left to try and sort out the mess and stave off disastar. While the crisis did come to a head in the 1860s it easily could of come earlier. New England had its own seccession movement in the 40's and 50's.

Leftists suffer from a mental illness called liberalism. It doesn't really make any sense to argue with them when their mental illness prevents them from thinking for themselves instead of the government thinking for them :).

[Stuart4791]

dude i have this movie my annsester J.E.B Stuart knew him like a brother and lee 2 so honer J.E.B also he was at least in getteysburg

[powerdriller10]

Translate this song about hate to arabic. Bin Laden terrorists would sing it proudly. It could not be more fitted for them and their beliefs.

And listen Dixie nostalgics!! Your ancestors were the bad guys, they wrote and asserted their guilt and infamy in the CSA several declarations of independence, from South Carolina to Texas. Whatever, fault you can find in Lincoln or yankee politics is nothing compared with the horrible sin of wanting to defend slavery and the right to expand it.

[hoppyhayes]

@powerdriller10 Piffle and nonsense. Ignorance is nothing to be proud of. The less you say the more intelligent you sound. Hush, be quite, stay mute. There you've become a genius!!!

[powerdriller10]

@hoppyhayes

The ignorant one that should stay quite quiet is you. You should have stayed in school longer so you would not quite confuse "quiet" with "quite" but surely you quit too early.

PS be careful: quite, quiet, quit and Kuwait are different words; do not show your southern retardation.

[bluegrassreb1]

@powerdriller10 what a load you dropped!

stinks to heaven.

do u really think that lincoln freed the slaves and THEN the South seceded? or was it the south left and THEN the bastard yankees ATTACKED SOUTHERN SOIL?SLAVERY WASNT AN ISSUE TO LINCOLN WHEN THE 11 STATES LEFT. NO NOTUNTIL 2 1/2YRS LATER DID lincoln abolish slavery in ? states he didnt control. the 5 slave states that DID NOT LEAVE WERE KY,DE,WV,MD,MO BUT HE DIDNT FREE SLAVES IN THOSE STATES ...? ONLY STATES HE DIDNT CONTROL

[dalton9931]

@powerdriller10 im tired of seeing your stuck up liberal comments on these videos. if youre looking at it like rebellion is evil then the whole establishment of the united states is wrong due to the fact it was founded on rebellion. theres not a damn thing wrong with taking pride in southern heritage because they werent "the bad guys" blacks were treated just as bad in the north as they were in the south, excluding slave labor.

[dalton9931]

@powerdriller10 if the north was so "tolerant" to the blacks then why was civil rights established around the ripe ol time of 1968? more than 100 years after the blacks were freed. the south relied on slavery because their economy was centered around farming which without slaves, or big machinery which hasnt been invented yet, would come to a grinding halt. the south would have abolished slavery soon as they were replaced by machinery that could do their work.

[dalton9931]

@powerdriller10 everyone thinks that everyone from the south at the time was a kkk radical hillbilly when they were pretty much the same as the north. the south were defending their state rights, there was nothing wrong with what the south did. the south even knew they had no chance to win the war because there was literally no way to win it due the north outnumbering them and having more supplies. the south just wanted to make a statement that they wanted to be left alone from northern tyranny.

[dalton9931]

@powerdriller10 you leftists think youre real fucking smart by putting 5th grade interpretations of the war and of the south on civil war videos to piss off people who take pride in their southern heritage. i take pride in the fact i have an ancestor that fought for the csa. not because im a racist because i believe all humans are equal, but because i look at him like a revolutionist because he fought for the safety of his land and his beliefs.

[Sistarovat]

You hate the Declaration? You unConfederate traitor, the Southrons revered the Declaration of Independence.

[Ace4929]

alright, i take a lot of offense from this song. for one thing, both lee and jackson only fought for the confederates because they were virginians. the confederates considered many of the founding fathers as heros. if this guy wants no pardon, than no pardon is what he's gonna get

[bluegrassreb1]

folks keep making a distinction betweeen the SOUTH and America, but there isnt any. Dixie is full of Americans who are Southerners. There was a Southern flag and there was aN 1862 northern flag. One is "Confederate states of AMERICA" and the other was the (so-called) united states of america. BOTH aMERICAN!!!

LONG LIVES DIXIE!!

"Madam, don't bring up your sons to detest the United States Government. Recollect that we form one country now. Abandon all these local animosities, and make your sons Americans." - Robert E. Lee

[WN4723]

@JobberBud Ok maybe today bring up your sons to detest it. Back then, they were only planting the seeds of tyranny, it hadn't yet come full circle as it has now.

[darthroden]

The only part of the song that I take exception to is the part about hating the Declaration of Independence...the Confederates revered the Founding Fathers of the United States, especially Washington and Jefferson. They saw themselves as the heir apparent of what the Founders intended when it came to running a government...they believed in limited government and the sovereignty of the individual States over the central government.

[libertarian93]

@darthroden whats even more funny is that the declaration of independance is one of the documents that supported their succesion

[darthroden]

@libertarian93

All true!

[RA9U1]

@darthroden I'm sorry for giving you a thumbs down I meant to give you a thumbs up but my thumb spazed out on my "roller ball" so I accidentally pressed the thumbs down button. I didn't mean for the thumbs down.

[ArticleTen]

@darthroden

Me too.

[mkeithharris]

very interesting musical selection - about as unreconstructed as you can get.

[GojyotheFeared]

I sympathise with the Souther plight. I truely do. There are times when I really wish they had won. Then again, there are times when I am proud to be an American too.

Damn I hate being torn like this.

im related to him

[2006nationalchamps]

God bless you General Jackson , we should have kept fighting now the american people see what happens when we trust a DAMN CORRUPT GOVERNMENT ! this time there will be NO SURRENDER Gen Lee should have never done it and listened to Gen. Longstreet in gettysburg !

[SouthrnatHeart]

@2006nationalchamps He never should have surrendered?! He should never have listened to Longstreet at Gettysburg?! Lee DIDN'T listen to Longstreet at Gettysburg.Longstreet told Lee to pull out of Gettysburg from day one! Lee's the one who said he couldn't leave the field; he was the one who ordered Picket's charge and the assault on Little Round Top when Longstreet argued against any attack at all. And as to the surrender, Lee did the right thing. If he had fought, it would've been a slaughter. 

[thatswhatisaidyeah]

@SouthrnatHeart Yea, he should have kept going and maybe then ya''ll could have killed each all off....

[rebel2276]

@SouthrnatHeart What you typed about General Lee is true, he did order Longstreet to attack. But, LT. General Longstreet did not attack when General Lee wanted him to. Lets start off with July 2nd, Lee wanted a "Early morning attack". Lee's latest scouting reports, reported no Union soldiers in the Peach Orchard/Wheat field area. But because Longstreet wasted all morning and up till 4PM, MG. Sickles 3rd Corps was now there. Longstreet delayed his attack waiting for Law's AL brigade.

[rebel2276]

I agree, Lee did the right thing but surrendering his army. Many of his men wanted to carry on the war, but Lee knew those hungry soldiers would pillage civilian homes and it would have came down to bushwhacking.

Good post, have a good night, Sir

[SouthrnatHeart]

@rebel2276 Thank you for your friendly input. It is always nice to have a small disagreement with someone as polite and knowledgeable as yourself.

God bless you and fine response, Sir.

[rebel2276]

@SouthrnatHeart I have been into the Civil War for almost Thirty years and I know a lot about the war, but not everything. Nobody....nobody knows everything. The late Brian Pohanka and I use to scour the Library of Congress and National archives and Brian told me, that he had millions of questions. I have millions of questions. I read on the Civil War, everyday and everyday I find something new. I just try to pass on what I have read, provide my sources and let that person judge for themselves.

[rebel2276]

@SouthrnatHeart Have a great Christmas and a safe New Years with your family (Everyone also reading this).



[SouthrnatHeart]

@rebel2276 Thank you, sir, and the same to you.
