I can see nothing more offensive about this video than any other event in history. We do not boycott the Japanese flag nor the Italian flag nor the British flag for that matter. To censor this is to deny or in some cases I've seen, rewrite history. That is something to be truly afraid of!
For yall that think the rebel flad is racist...its is far from it and you do need a history lesson...the civil war was not caused by slavery it was caused but the south succeeding from the north because the north taxed the hell out the south just like the british did to us before the revolutionary war...slavery did play a part in the war but was not the primary cause...the south will rise again
Is see many brave soldier's. 1:48 a picture is showed of a blackmen regiment's soldiers. Maybe some silly Cu Clux Clan idiots could be offended bei portraying this brave men.
Serious guys! This political correctness thing grows mad.
The thing I love about this song is that I live no less then about 5-10 miles from the San Jacinto Monument. I can visit the battlefield that this song is tells so much about.
@ruandted this video is talking about when a soldier that is back to see his wife that he has been away from a long time it has nothing to do with what u thought it did so u can jump off that bridge if it ever gets built
Why in hell would anyone get offended by this video. It's not even talkin much about the war it's talkin bout his wife at home that he's comin home 2 c
So William Roger picked up the flag With his pistol in one hand and the flag in the other, he climbed the wall and planted his regiments colors on the parapet. Over half of his men were shot down within minutes. William Rogers realized there was no way he could hold the position. Despite wearing a bullet proof vest, Rogers would be killed. One of the bullets penetrated his body near the arm where the vest didn't cover. He was killed instantly.
One of the best stories not well known was Colonel William P. Rogers attack on Battery Robinette or Fort Robinette who commanded the 2nd Texas regiment. At the Battle of Corinth he was given the task of leading the assault on Battery Robinette. Riding in front of his regiment he shouted, "Forward Texans!" He lead his men across the field calmly under intense fire. Four of his color bearers had been killed.
@Shutzenrifle hey johnny Reb...give it a rest that was 150 years ago........we got muslins to worry 'bout....now drop the muskett n moonshine and shut up
I'me sorry: but did I just have to click though a "potentially offensive" screen for this song/video? I may be a yamn Dankee who thinks rich plantation owners in the South started the war, but seriously?
I don't know who flagged this as offensive, but it certainly isn't. Just because something is associated with a Southern state does not mean it is racist, even if the word 'Confederate' is attached to it. And this song is in no way racist.
To anybody who is offended by any of these type of songs need to get over it. If ur gonna offended by anything get offended by the kkk pages. The kkk was the worst thing to come out of the south and they give us a bad name. I live in dahlonega Georgia and there was a kkk outbreak in my highschool and it made us look bad
"Texas played a part in the war of which this and all future generations of Texans may be justly proud. Its people gave their full measure of courage and devotion to the cause. The commonwealth which, in the short space of forty years, had developed from a little group of three hundred families in the midst of a complete wilderness, sent more than seventy thousand men to the defense of the bonnie blue banner of the Confederacy" learn your fucking history!
@Steiner8834 Try learning your history. Texas didn't become a state until after the confederacy. If it had joined the United States earlier, when negotiations of annexation were being held in 1844, it would have joined the Union.
My question is, why do you folks insist on plastering the Confederate flag over anything concerning a UNION state?
@kagenoooihebi try learning YOUR history... Texas enters as state on December 29, 1845.... succeeds from the Union and becomes an official part of the Confederacy by drafting a new constitution on March 23. 1861. Texas played a huge role for the South in the war, Albert Sidney Johnson was General Lees #2 and he was from Texas, the final battle of the war was fought in Texas, there was a naval battle in Galveston, look up Hoods Texas Brigade and tell me they didn't fight for the South....idiot
@ElMagnifico96 That naval battle in Galveston was won by my great great grandfather Tom Green and his men, who came to Galveston Bay on a barge with cotton bales on it and stormed the USS Harriet Lane (named for President Buchanan's niece) and turned their guns on the Union ships and troops. Interesting that a daughter of his, Mary (Molly) Green married Dr.Richard Newton Lane of Eagle Pass, Texas, and took his last name and that of Harriet Lane ! They are my great grandparents
@You kicked out England? You mean the civil war? But that was a British civil war so weren't you kind of kicking out your own people? Sorry if I'm misunderstanding you.
@FRAGIORGIO1 in Mexico theyre having drug wars and they get over the boarder and sell it to Americans but most mexicans that r sent back to mexico it's because they were doing drugs
@RedneckReplican Not true. The great majority were sent back because they were not legally in the country. By the way, the country with the most drug use is the US. Most Mexicans don't have the money for that stuff, although they do snort some beer and stuff. Do you even imagine that a multi Billion Dollar business like the Drug biz does not have Big Guys here in charge of operations??? Come on! Get serious!
@RedneckReplican Buddy, the ones that bring in the drugs are just a very few crooks. You know that there are Americans getting the Big Bucks in drugs, right? Only the Big Ones never get caught, but only the little street peddlars, right? Those are the guys we have to fight, if our govt Really wants to get them! It's a multi-billion-dollar business, so I suppose the Big Guys in Drugs have some "friends" here in the US, right?
@TheAdjundantReflex What "united" if you despise the South??? The original Union was made by peaceful compromise. Lincoln forced a Union by Blood and Destruction. Not the original intent. By the way, there are "bars" in the US flag if you will change the word to "stripes".
I love the South, and I even like most rednecks (just a hard-working southern farmer.) I hate racists, the KKK, and secessionists A.K.A. neo-confederates.
Secessionists make up less than 0.05% of the south.
People need to get their facts straight about the civil war. Fact it was fought over States Right and whether they could get out of the Union. Slavery while important was not the end all be all of the war. Lincoln Did NOT free the slaves, He freed them in the South(which at the time wasn't part of the USA and other states that did not surround DC, It soon degenerated into who's boots made the bigger tracks and the North made bigger tracks!
Someone argued that the Confederacy is “white heritage!” Hogwash. It is white thug racist heritage! And there is a difference. The Confederacy’s founders announced in the "Cornerstone Speech" (Google it) that they had created a republic whose “cornerstone” was the principle that “slavery, subordination to the superior race,” was the “natural and moral condition” of black Americans. The flag, much like the Nazi flag, makes a mockery to what the USA stands for and freedom.
@samcabazos Let me clear up some things. The South was overwhelmingly agricultural and traded with British and French industries for their cotton and tobacco. Yes, there was slavery on the big plantations, but what do you think there was in the industrialized North? The semi-slavery of the mills, factories,and mines where the workers were indebted to the big Robber Barons and the "company store". Jealous of foreign industries, they proposed the Republicans establish a protective Tariff.
@samcabazos The Republican platform of 1860 was against slavery and in favor of the protective tariff for northern industry, both of which were against the interests of the South. Lincoln, elected by 39% of the popular vote, but won the Electoral College since the Democrats were split among 3 candidates, Lincoln said he would impose the tariff by force if necessary. Virginia, North Carolina, and Tennesse had voted for Unionist Democrats but seceded when Lincoln mobilized 75,000 men.
@samcabazos Seeing Lincoln had won with the Republican platform threatening the agricultural South's way of life, states started seceding already in December 1860 and in early 1861 before he took office. South Carolina was the first, but the Feds kept occupying Ft Sumter in Charleston harbor, so after five months, the locals fired on the fort to make the Union troops leave. Did states that had made compromises to form the Union have the right to secede? --A question for the Supreme Court.
@samcabazos Was the question of the legality of secession put to the Supreme Court? No. It was preopted by Lincoln who decided against diplomacy and in favor of Union by Force, Fire, and Blood. That war cost the lives of over 620,000 Americans, more than all the other wars combined. Lincoln suspended Habeas Corpus many times and persecuted members of the Democratic Party who opposed his policies, even harrassed members of Congress. For the election of 1864, Generals Sherman and Sheridan ...
@samcabazos Sherman and Sheridan, the former in the deep South and the latter in Virginia, waged campaigns of destruction against southern agriculture and the little industry that existed in Atlanta. Richmond, which was the only other center that was developing industry, was also destroyed. Southern people, black and white, were left without work, food, homes. It was a disaster that led to anarchy and violence. The "freed" slaves received Nothing from the Unionists. The Union was "saved"??
Yes, Sonny the song was originally written about Emily Morgan (a "high yellow" negress) well before the CW.
However if you knew ANYTHING about the YROT or the CSA, you'd know it was also the legendary marching song of of John Bell Hood's famed Texas Brigade. There are several final verse variations "newly written" by Confederate soldiers.
The Army of No. VA -- no general ever had such an army; no army ever had such a general!
@terminator5791 Actually, not at the Alamo, but she "detained" Mexican President General Santa Anna at San Jacinto, near modern Houston, with her female charms while another slave went to report to General Houston that the Mexican army was camped there. The next day, Houston and his ragtag army (including my great great grandfather Tom Green of Kentucky) swooped down on the unsuspecting Santa Anna's army and won a great (and bloody) victory securing Texas' independence.
@deathevocation91 Many Australians have lived similar experiences in the Outback that Texans have lived here. A greeting from Texas to you all in Australia!
@FRAGIORGIO1 please,, what a crock of manure,,,,ya know Yanks very innocent,, thats whats you are saying,,, Aussies know that,,,life does not exist outside good ole USA,,, shit a brick,, and what boofheads,,,
@paulinus43ad What a senseless rant. Stop drinking fermented Kangaroo milk and get some common sense and decency. You don't sound like a regular Australian. In WW II Americans and Australians fought and died together and their are common values we share. You Obviously have few values, and your vulgarity and low character show.
@FRAGIORGIO1 born and breed in Aussie in good ole Balmain,,, working class man,, can be vulgar and can be posh,, done some military service,, admit not war,, but please do not compare the usa history and Aussie history,, and I have met many Americans and have found most of them of very respectable character,,, VALUES ,,please do not assume my Values,,and I do not find fermented kangaroo milk palatable,, not as good as goat milk ok,,,
@paulinus43ad You seem to have changed your attitude and way of talking to a better model. Values that we have in common? Democracy, rule of law, mostly Christian, tough people who fought to overcome a difficult environment in the Outback and we in the Great Plains and the dry Southwest, and yes, again, we did stand side by side to fight for the same cause in WW II. Don't you agree?
@FRAGIORGIO1 bloody hell and shit a brick ,,gata agree ,,values ,yep,, same cause, lets say, not all soldiers said yes to their nations policy,,, and you Sir with your,values,,have my respect,,,,,,,
@FRAGIORGIO1 I've worked 12-hour and 16-hour days 6 days a week, then my company laid off 3,000 American workers. I'd give almost anything to be able to work like that again! How DARE YOU say that U.S. citizens can't or won't do those jobs! That's a lie! Out with the illegals! Let them come to the U.S. LEGALLY like every other immigrant did and still must do! And just fyi for everyone this song actually pre-dates the Civil War. It was first written during the Texas War of Independence in 1836.
@30purpleboxes Read my comments to get the full idea about legality. Of course, there are Some US citizens willing to do what you did, and I surely don't excuse US companies from being Unfair with US workers. But, let's get real: how many US citizens are going to work those long days and full weeks in 100 degree heat in the Mojave or South Texas on vegetable farms or framing and roofing homes? Not many. My hat's off to you and your work ethic, but the fact is not many have that.
@BConwayatFNC Sherman died insane, from what I read. He was a real Nazi. He said anyone who wasn't with him was his enemy. He destroyed Atlanta which was, with Richmond, one of the two rising industrial capitals of the South, and also a lot of plantations, thus leaving the south at the economic (and political) mercy of the north. Part of a Plan?? Wouldn't be surprised, since he destroyed down south and Sheridan in Virginia. It was no "accident'" that Richmond was also destroyed.
A few years ago two parents went out for dinner. A few hours later, the babysitter was calling to see if she could cover up the clown statue in the kids' room, the father said "Get the kids and get out of the house, we'll call the police, we don't have a clown statue". The "clown statue" was actually a killer that escaped from jail. If you don't post this on 10 videos tonight the clown will be in your bed at 3:00am with a chainsaw in his hand. Sorry don't want this to happen to me
@THEKINGB1 Hey, the area was civilized first by the Spanish and names like San Antonio, Laredo, and El Paso show its Spanish roots. Galveston was named after Galvez, the Spanish Viceroy that helped the cause for our independence as the US. Mexicans and Central Americans do the hard work in the fields, construction, and other commercial enterprises that native-born US citizens don't want to do. I've seen them work 12-hour days and 6 day weeks. They help keep prices down for us. Calm down.
@FRAGIORGIO1 Its called being a citizen and entering correctly... We spend to much on them and they are sucking legals money and killing our citizens. Its illegal for a reason send them back and protect our rights as citizens.
@THEKINGB1 It's not a question of being a citizen. The "legal" question is a phoney, because our government does not permit enough poor workers to enter and fulfill work positions that US citizens won't fill. If we legalize them, then they'll pay Taxes and that will finance their needs. The permits for legal entry, however, should be granted by the government with petitions from work places that US citizens won't fill, such as picking tomatoes in the Mojave Desert , South Texas, Arizona, etc.
@FRAGIORGIO1 My Dad is a construction work and he works 16-hour days,6 days a week!!!!!!!! He is a native born citizen of the US>> In fact we can trace our ancestroy back to the 1800s from England!!!! So dont you DARE say that we do not want to do the hard work>>Most CANT Because Illegeals have taken those jobs for a cheaper wage!!!!!
@SpiritFox100 I don't say there aren't hard-working Americans like your dad. The trouble is there are TOO FEW of them and both businesses (agriculture especially) and the government say the same. i saw an article by the AP written by Jay Reeves and Alicia A. Caldwell, titled, "Americans not cutting it as farm laborers" dated October 21st that said as much. What we need to do is assess the areas of labor that Americans are Not filling and permit immigrants to fill Those areas.
@THEKINGB1 There are 12 million doing all kinds of jobs we can't or won't do. If we legalize those positions that are required by businesses and US citizens won't respond to, then we are doing Ourselves a favor. Why spend a heap of money to chase after people when we need most of those workers? It's like our stupid policy of putting people in jail for using marijuana, when alcohol causes more problems and tobacco is a far greater health risk. We waste money on Unnecessary Law enforcement.
@OrangeGriff Actually, south of the Pecos from Corpus Christi to the Rio Grande was Tamaulipas state of Mexico. Texas was north of the Pecos, but was united with Coahuila further west of Laredo, so yes, the US took over part of Mexico and was anxious to take more, as per the War with Mexico, which cost a lot of lives. General Grant denounced our foray into Mexico as unjust aggression many years later, and he had fought in that war as a young lieutenant.
@HeReigns33 The Texans after 1836 and independence claimed that that part of the Mexican state of Tamaulipas south of the Pecos River to the Rio Grande was theirs, but it wasn't originally a part of Texas. Texas joined the Union in 1845. In 1846, US troops under General Taylor were sent to claim that land for the US under the pretension of "Manifest Destiny'. It was also an excuse to start a war with Mexico and seize everything belonging to Mexico west of Texas to the Pacific Ocean
you should go to hell that is where u will be ending up the only way this country can get better if we have a better heart! ps. im mixed and i do know illegal mexicans and they love this country more then most do!!!!!!!!
@windbug5 good and i beleive that about your freinds,all we ask is get legal so they can enjoy the same rights as us and i agree they do love this country as much as i and we.after living down there can you blame them
@bgstarider The thing is all of them have family and in order to get papers you have to stay there for up to a year and there family needs them for finanical reasons maybe one day when America see that and you. they will let them stay here and get papers at the same time.................
@windbug5 well as much as i agree i think they should have considered that before they came up.if i was to go to mexico toget a job illegaly,they would toss the key away.all i ask is come here the right way we welcome you,legally.
@bgstarider They can't come up legally if the US government gives very few permissions and makes it expensive for the poor people by raising the prices !
@FRAGIORGIO1 well if they can pay coyotes outragious prices,seems to me they could pay for a legal way in.yall come on up,we ll be glad to take you in just do it legal
@bgstarider It's not a question of Paying. It's a question of the US government making it almost impossible for poor Hispanics to come up here with the restrictions, paperwork (US govt!), and waiting for long periods of time, etc. Have you noticed all the Brits doing commercials on TV or in video games? Or the Indian and other foreign doctors and engineers? Where the applicants have money, there is No Problem with the US government allowing them in.
@FRAGIORGIO1 yes i have noticed.they have skills that are critical to society.most of the peasents
(poor)dont have any skills.the quota is concerned with important skills.and that makes sense.ya just cant load up your numbers with workers of low skill.no country does that.really if you want to grip,take it up with mexico,where they imprison,or shoot em.think of the big picture.
@bgstarider The poor peasants DO have important skills for farm work in particular, although I have seen them work quite well and for 12 hour days framing houses also here in Texas. There are very few Americans willing to do the hard and hot work with long hours on farming. it's practically all immigrants who do that, although some have been here for years. If businesses can't get enough Americans to do those jobs, why can't they ask the government for legal "guest worker" immigrants?
@FRAGIORGIO1 thats the problem.i have many friends that cant find work because of those rate cutters,that work for less then we up here can afford to.if they were legal they could fight for there rights to work for a decent for a fare wage.but here in ala. we put a stop to that.and guess what ...unemployment is goin down. so dont tell me americans wont do the jobs,even farm unemployment is goin down
@bgstarider I hear you, but as I said, if there AREN'T enough Americans to do the jobs, Then the businesses should appeal to the US govt for so many immigrant workers to be legally Permitted to work There. But, if the govt barely permits any of them to come, they will try to come anyway to escape the misery of their poverty to help their families.
@FRAGIORGIO1 we have anywhere from 10 ton twenty percent unememployment.i beleive we have enough to cover the jobs.i dont blame them for wanting to get out of the shit down there.but 2 points.again do it legal,or heres a thought,fix the problem down there.we did.we kicked out england.they could,kick out the drug lords,and corrupt polititians. im hopin we do that in nov. i hope we kick out all the politicians in dc start all over again
@bgstarider The government makes it very hard for poor but hard-working Mexicans and Central Americans to get work here, although many businesses, especially agriculture, needs their help. The immigrants don't pay taxes because the idiot US government does not let them become legal and then make them pay. It's a crazy mess created by Our Government.
Come on, man, what do you have against Mexicans...and that's pretty broad, sir--ALL Mexicans? What could you possibly have against ALL of them?
I don't know about Texas' relations with Mexican immigrants, but here in Los Angeles County, it's part of life...white, black, Latino, Asian...I'm a Jew myself--
Gotta learn to live with other folks, sir--that's what makes the UNITED States great...
@obiwanobiwan13 America, especially Texas, is a White Christian country. In the past 40 or so years, libs have tried to dramatically change our country and turn it to a multicultural shithole.
America is a MELTING POT--Whites, Blacks, Latinos, Asians, Indians, Arabs, Jews, Atheists...
As long as your heart beats true for the Red, White, and Blue--for Texas and for the USA--it does NOT matter what culture you're from...
You are an American, and ANY BIGOT who'll go so far as to claim America is a "White Christian Country" and blame only liberals for the mistakes of an entire government is clearly a fool.
@TheAmericanDefender Texas was originally settled by a variety of Indian tribes, but was physically united by the Spanish who gave their names to San Antonio, El Paso, Laredo, Gonzalez, Goliad, and (Latin) Corpus Christi. The Hispanics are probably more Christian than the Anglos in general. Galveston was named after Spanish Viceroy Galvez of Mexico and the Southwest, who helped the US gain its independence by contributing aid in various forms. Get your facts straight.
@TheAmericanDefender Blacks and Indians were here before American settlers arrived in the city of San Antonio, which was originally San Fernando de Bejar. Blacks and biracials of various types were here in other places as well. You don't know Texas history very well. Texas was explored by Spanish explorers in the 1500s.
How many states were their own country? Texas. Period. What state was specifically targeted by Washington immediately after the civil war because the politicians were afraid of its ability to rise again economically and militarily? Texas. What state is the only one in the union today that can sustain itself without any national or foreign aid whatsoever? Texas. Period. And on the note of slavery, Texas's substantial German and Catholic populations did not take part in slavery.
@ccondor97 California and Vermont were their own respective countries at one point, and several Southern states were declared independent republics in 1861 after seceding from the Union and remained so for a brief while before officially joining the Confederacy. You're not that special.
@CrazyOldMaurice69 Hey, remember that Rhode Island did not join the Union until 1791 when the Bill of Rights was approved, so it was an independent state as well!
The origional verse was "No other darky knows her, no darky only me" as the Yellow Rose of Texas was Emily D. West, a black woman who had been seized by Santa Anna and legend says he was sleeping with her when the Texans attackd at San Jacinto. Ironically the South later used this as a battle song but with referrences to the woman's race changed. Idiot southeners!
@yaesukita Northerners in general did not hold blacks in any higher esteem than the average Southerner. Most, but not all states in the North had freed their slaves because it was more profitable in a manufacturing society to free them, let them fend for themselves and hire them for practically nothing. The CW was fought to keep the Federal government from losing 78% of the national income which it received by taxing the South. You do not hold any moral high ground.
Is it true that Brazilian Jui-Jitsu is outlawed in Texas but every orther Martial Art as well as every type of firearm and weaponry is considered to be perfectly lagitamate by Texas Law( with the exceptions of modern military weapons of course)? I heard that you guys outlawed it because it was used in 85% off unarmed assults in the past year in the State.
@terminator5791 Fort Sumter was South Carolina territory. The state had seceded in December of 1860, five months before, but the Federals didn't leave, and the fort was supposed to be in charge of militarily collected the Republican-sponsored tariff that would protect Northern industry and make more difficult trade with Britain and France, which had been very prosperous. I once read that it was Lincoln's way of making the South act first so as to claim being attacked. No diplomat he.
im sick and tired of people saying the civil war was about slavery some of the states that were in the union had slaveoners ( you wont find that in the text books of the republic dogs that came to govern this country ) if you dont know anything about the true history shut up sit down and pat attention the civil war was about the csa wanting to chouse their own state laws as is stated by our founding fathers and those union creations thought their way was better so they tryed to force their veiws
@mitchellmanning Good points . It would help if we would all start using the terms War Between The States , War of Northern Aggression , War for Southern Independence . Since it wasn't a Civil War at all . And using that term gives the wrong impression . As far as I know a Civil War is when both sides are trying to overthrow the other . Like in England both sides want complete control . The South was just trying to leave not eliminate the North like link con told people to scare them .
@mitchellmanning Actually, the Republican Party of those days was all for protecting northern industrial enterprises and mining, with the attendant semi-slavery conditions of northern workers ("I owe my soul to the company store"). The south and the majority of the Democratic Party therein was very largely agricultural and prosperously trading with British and French textile companies. The Republicans wanted a protective tariff and were against agricultural slavery.
Maybe it should be 'Coloured' Rose of Texas, to avoid any offence caused to, well, yellow roses I assume.

So William Roger picked up the flag With his pistol in one hand and the flag in the other, he climbed the wall and planted his regiments colors on the parapet. Over half of his men were shot down within minutes. William Rogers realized there was no way he could hold the position. Despite wearing a bullet proof vest, Rogers would be killed. One of the bullets penetrated his body near the arm where the vest didn't cover. He was killed instantly.

Texas enters as state on December 29, 1845.... succeeds from the Union and becomes an official part of the Confederacy by drafting a new constitution on March 23. 1861. Texas played a huge role for the South in the war, Albert Sidney Johnson was General Lees #2 and he was from Texas, the final battle of the war was fought in Texas, there was a naval battle in Galveston, look up Hoods Texas Brigade and tell me they didn't fight for the South....idiot

@ElMagnifico96 That naval battle in Galveston was won by my great great grandfather Tom Green and his men, who came to Galveston Bay on a barge with cotton bales on it and stormed the USS Harriet Lane (named for President Buchanan's niece) and turned their guns on the Union ships and troops. Interesting that a daughter of his, Mary (Molly) Green married Dr.Richard Newton Lane of Eagle Pass, Texas, and took his last name and that of Harriet Lane ! They are my great grandparents

Someone argued that the Confederacy is “white heritage!” Hogwash. It is white thug racist heritage! And there is a difference. The Confederacy’s founders announced in the "Cornerstone Speech" (Google it) that they had created a republic whose “cornerstone” was the principle that “slavery, subordination to the superior race,” was the “natural and moral condition” of black Americans. The flag, much like the Nazi flag, makes a mockery to what the USA stands for and freedom.
samcabazos 2 months ago
@samcabazos Let me clear up some things. The South was overwhelmingly agricultural and traded with British and French industries for their cotton and tobacco. Yes, there was slavery on the big plantations, but what do you think there was in the industrialized North? The semi-slavery of the mills, factories,and mines where the workers were indebted to the big Robber Barons and the "company store". Jealous of foreign industries, they proposed the Republicans establish a protective Tariff.
FRAGIORGIO1 2 months ago
@samcabazos The Republican platform of 1860 was against slavery and in favor of the protective tariff for northern industry, both of which were against the interests of the South. Lincoln, elected by 39% of the popular vote, but won the Electoral College since the Democrats were split among 3 candidates, Lincoln said he would impose the tariff by force if necessary. Virginia, North Carolina, and Tennesse had voted for Unionist Democrats but seceded when Lincoln mobilized 75,000 men.
FRAGIORGIO1 2 months ago
@samcabazos Seeing Lincoln had won with the Republican platform threatening the agricultural South's way of life, states started seceding already in December 1860 and in early 1861 before he took office. South Carolina was the first, but the Feds kept occupying Ft Sumter in Charleston harbor, so after five months, the locals fired on the fort to make the Union troops leave. Did states that had made compromises to form the Union have the right to secede? --A question for the Supreme Court.

The original song was not a military song the Confederate version modified it to make a more to the tune of the military.
Its sang from a soliders view in this version.
Texans in the civil war sang this song in many different ways some were unique to regiments and platoons.
The Confederates sang many versions of the song not just this version

@yaesukita Northerners in general did not hold blacks in any higher esteem than the average Southerner. Most, but not all states in the North had freed their slaves because it was more profitable in a manufacturing society to free them, let them fend for themselves and hire them for practically nothing. The CW was fought to keep the Federal government from losing 78% of the national income which it received by taxing the South. You do not hold any moral high ground.

Is it true that Brazilian Jui-Jitsu is outlawed in Texas but every orther Martial Art as well as every type of firearm and weaponry is considered to be perfectly lagitamate by Texas Law( with the exceptions of modern military weapons of course)? I heard that you guys outlawed it because it was used in 85% off unarmed assults in the past year in the State.

The South actually started the war, on the attack on fort Sumter.

@terminator5791 Fort Sumter was South Carolina territory. The state had seceded in December of 1860, five months before, but the Federals didn't leave, and the fort was supposed to be in charge of militarily collected the Republican-sponsored tariff that would protect Northern industry and make more difficult trade with Britain and France, which had been very prosperous. I once read that it was Lincoln's way of making the South act first so as to claim being attacked. No diplomat he.

im sick and tired of people saying the civil war was about slavery some of the states that were in the union had slaveoners ( you wont find that in the text books of the republic dogs that came to govern this country ) if you dont know anything about the true history shut up sit down and pat attention the civil war was about the csa wanting to chouse their own state laws as is stated by our founding fathers and those union creations thought their way was better so they tryed to force their veiws

@mitchellmanning Good points . It would help if we would all start using the terms War Between The States , War of Northern Aggression , War for Southern Independence . Since it wasn't a Civil War at all . And using that term gives the wrong impression . As far as I know a Civil War is when both sides are trying to overthrow the other . Like in England both sides want complete control . The South was just trying to leave not eliminate the North like link con told people to scare them .

@mitchellmanning Actually, the Republican Party of those days was all for protecting northern industrial enterprises and mining, with the attendant semi-slavery conditions of northern workers ("I owe my soul to the company store"). The south and the majority of the Democratic Party therein was very largely agricultural and prosperously trading with British and French textile companies. The Republicans wanted a protective tariff and were against agricultural slavery.
