There're periods where I'll without listening to any of the tracks on The Glorious Burden and out of nowhere I'll get the desire to put it in. Every time I get to the Gettysburg trilogy I become enamored with it once again. As you listen you can feel the raw emotion come through as it dawns on you the significance of the sacrifices made - and when you hear the order to fix baronets - you feel an overwhelming sadness that for many this would be the last order they would ever carry out.
That being said, there is a lot of controversy here about the Civil war of the mid-1800s. My concern is about the civil war of the future, which I believe we may be headed for. Our people are so split down the middle now and no one wants to compromise. We need to listen to one another and try to find the best solution for everyone. Get out of the wings, people, come to the center and let's talk.
Speaking of slavery , do I get to be pissed because I am 3/8 Cherokee Indian,ya know the guys that were here first, or that my European ancestors were likely slaves or subjects of the ROman Empire? Lets move on, the Indians(if you can find any have far more reason to bitch(Andrew Jackson{s.o.b.}) . But to all the others, nope, the Klan is kickin and pulse beating well. Do not be deceived. But then again I don't want Muslim Law either so a cross burned or two may do some good. Got any better idea
@78starbuck , there are Native Americans here in AZ that don't want $20 bills in their change. They don't want to carry Andy Jackson's picture in their wallet!
NO dude, I am from southern Ohio, rural area, the clan did NOT DiE in 18anything. They are alive and kicking to this day. Unfortunately we may need them and not for the blacks or jews(who never did anything to deserve hate in the first place). There is a new poison spreading like a plague. I'll give you a hint 9/11 and those who danced in the streets at our loss, and Bin Laden's death (if true) means nothing, another steps into his place and again and again and again, we may need to get evil.
why does everyone have to argue i mean the main reason i got into this movie was i dated someone who lived in ms and shortly after we split i started getting into the civil war and w.e. so i looked this up and just off the bat the way this guy mixed the vi + music was like amazing so i looked up the movie and for anyone whos like oh this movies anti south watch it its a damn good movie
@Mahbu You need to do some research on the Klan before repeating what you've heard. Ever heard of Wikipedia? The Klan literally died out in the early 1870s. It was resurrected as primarily a Protestant political movement in 1915 and by 1925, over 15,000,000 registered voting Americans from all fifty states had joined. It was most powerful not in the South, but in Indiana and Ohio.
And before anyone tells me most people in the south did not own a substantial number of slaves, stop. I know. Plantation owners were a minority, true, but they were also the richest and most powerful. Politically, economically, culturally. They were the politicians or friends of politicians. They exemplified southern culture and those beneath tried to emulate them. Of course they could cajole others to fight for them. (next comment)
Both sides were willing to fight for what they believed in. Neither side was wrong and good men gave their lives for what cause they believed in. So remember kids, next time your history teachers try to give you the tired rhetoric of the south is evil for wanting slaves and thats why it was fought, tell them theyre full of shit... Damned public schools.
While I'd like to believe that neither side was wrong? I'm pretty sure the south was. Don't mistake that as saying "oh the North was right" or "the North was just", but the South definitely was wrong. I know the popular argument with lost causers and defenders of the south is that it was about "states rights", but states rights to do what? Maintain the institution of slavery. (Next comment)
Slavery was/is the cause. No, the North did not wage a war to free slaves. Yes, the North wanted to maintain the Union. And YES the War had every bit to do with slavery. The whole reason the South seceded was because of issues directly linked to slavery. Politically, economically, and morally. And unlike what a lot of people here want to believe, it did not start with Abraham Lincoln. (next comment)
Like I said. States rights to do what? Maintain the institution of slavery. If they REALLY cared about states right,situations like Bleeding Kansas and the Dredd Scott case wouldn't matter. They wouldn't force slave laws on free states. No, States rights is a lie fed to non-slave owning Southerners and then a lie used to try an absolve the South of any blame.
The South took issue with tariffs (ties in with industrial north vs agrarian south), for one thing, which outrage would be understandable except that up until that point, most tariffs had favored the south yet one favoring the north was too much?
Then the issue of future states comes into play, too. Would they be slave or free? The North favored free which would put slave into a minority (next comment)
Which threatened their stranglehold on the federal government. Which basically tells us they were mad they didn't have the power they once had and strikes me as spoiled. Everything was okay with the federal government unless they didn't have sole say, in other words, in which case. . secession!
Which leads to the state rights bullshit. The stuff they fed to non-plantation/rich folk but really it boiled down to states rights to maintain the institution of slavery. (next comment)
And then there was already bloodshed before the civil war over the issue of slavery, oh yes. Free against slave. Look up Bleeding Kansas, John Brown, Dredd Scott. Which is another thing, the South expected all their laws of slavery to be upheld in the North when they came up to visit and the North did not want to play that game.
Then of course, southerners in power were growing agitated and fearful of the abolitionist movement (next comment)
So Lincoln was really the last straw. Oh yeah, the south got antsy in their pantsy because they feared Lincoln would abolish slavery in future states and so they panicked and sought secession.
Is the south Evil? No more evil than those of previous periods. They weren't all blood thirsty, slave mongering curs and I don't think that was ever the problem; the problem is that people in the south refuse (next comment)
to accept fault in any capacity. They refuse to acknowledge slavery, they pretend it's only a "minor thing" and they get supremely defensive over the issue and are quick to blame the educational system. Full of shit? I don't think so. Never once did a teacher tell me the South was evil, never once did a text book. But I do believe there were people in the South who wanted power, wealth, and more. They fought for it and lost. As a result, the people beneath them suffered.
Now that I have the righteous anger out of my system, great song with a great video. Fun fact: The battle of gettysburg was fought over shoes. And for all the slavery commenters (myself included), the war wasn't about slavery. Slavery was simply the embodiment of the South lifestyle. Something tangible for the schools to say we fought over. In the end the South believed that the states should have more power than the central government and the North believed otherwise...
@Mahbu Wow! You talk as if every Klansman hated blacks and as if the Ku Klux Klan actually wielded any power over Southern governments. The Klan as a paramilitary organization died out in 18702. The political activist KKK, which was merely a subgroup in the Democratic Party experienced political power only from 1920-1928. Several small rougue Klan groups emerged as a backlash to unconstitutional, forced integration, but their political power was limited to Mississippi and Birmingham local govts.
Um. Yeah? For the longest time they did. Many prominent politicians were either Klansmen or friends with/supported by the Klan. That's fact.
And Klansmen do hate blacks. And pretty much anything that isn't white. A couple men tried to shift that focus from "anti-nonwhites" to "pro-white" but that was really just PR mumbo jumbo.
And the Klan was responsible for many murders/lynchings and attacks/assaults up to and throughout the civil rights movement. So don't give me that bullshit
@Mahbu If blacks were really treated so horribly after the War of Yankee Agression, why did they stay in the South. Heck if it was really as horrible as you make it sound, either they really were born for submission, hmm...or you they really didn't hate Jim Crow as much as you and every other South-hater wants people to believe. Once they were free, they were free to leave the South and the whole cotton-pickin' US of A for that matter.
Holy shit, I want to believe you are trolling because otherwise. . I don't know. I just don't know. How could someone be so dumb?
A.) Actually A LOT of blacks moved North during and after the war. B.) Many were too poor to afford starting up elsewhere (I mean, really, a slave doesn't have. . well. . any money) and C.) some believed that now they'd be seen as equals. Obviously a very naive belief since the South turned their bitterness vindictiveness on the blacks. (next comment)
Really, where could they go? Back to Africa? As if they even understood the culture or language of their ancestral home. They were generations removed from that heritage. Europe? Surprise, those that were able did go to Canada and Europe where they faced less discrimination.
Those that did remain in the South were kept in ignorance and suppressed with intimidation/fear by such organizations as the KKK.
@Mahbu I hate to dredge up old comments but thats what youtube is for correct? You stated that they faced discrimination after and to that I will definitely agree however in the years since I have been alive I have been faced with a racism from blacks easily as strong as we ever gave to them. I grew up in an area where the blacks believed we owed them something and treated us like shit. They would get violent without any provocation because they were taught...
That would be because racism has not disappeared and they still face discrimination even after the civil rights movement. It's actually kind of hard to uplift an entire people, I hope you realize. And it's hard to change how a people behave. If you and yours were treated like criminals, dirt, less than human, and as property rather than actual humans. . you might get it in your head (next comment).
Or if no one expects any better of you/treats you a certain way, you'll behave exactly how that is because why bother elsewhere when few will give you a chance. And, well, let's be honest, if a certain group treats you with hostility, are you inclined to give everyone the benefit of the doubt after a certain period of time? Hardly.
I have good friends who love talking about "niggers" all day and claiming they aren't racist. That kind of attitude. . yeah.
@Mahbu That we were racist heathens who had enslaved their ancestors. The africans sold their brothers into slavery, it sure as hell wasn't me as an 8 year old in third grade. My point is everyone has a different experience with damned near anything. You cant say any one person is wrong. Oh and theyre not African Americans, Africa-America doesn't exist, theyre either Africans or Americans... that has nothing to do with it, just sayin.
And we're not technically Americans. Native Americans are and, really, we shouldn't have to call them Native Americans but such is the state of things. It's a case of semantics. But either way, I can say something is wrong but you are right in that people do have different experiences.
@Mahbu "You weren't alive then, so get over it." - Mahbu You would do well to follow your own advice. Judging from your comments one would think that you wish the nigger race had been left in Africa. The African was better off in slavery in America than he was living in the dirthole of Africa where he would have had a hard time finding good drinking water.
Sistarovat, you only prove my points. "Nigger race"? "War of Yankee Aggression"? Either you're a really clever troll, in which case you deserve credit, or you actually believe this nonsense, this filth that you spew with such blind hate born out of living a mediocre life filled with bitterness and jealousy. And no, the African people were not better off in slavery.
So, you buy the Civil Rights bull crap do you? Another brainwashed commie who doesn't give a rat's rear end if the Constitution is shredded or not, as long as he gets to eat at whatever restaurant or sleep at whatever hotel he wants without the owner being allowed to choose who to let in and who not to let into his establishment.
What people like Sistarovat don't understand is that the black community, whatever you want to call it, may've been 'freed' after the civil war but it continued to endure mistreatment and cruelty well after. In fact, to this day it still faces discrimination and racism. Do you people not realize that the Civil Rights movement was from 1955-1968? Do you not realize that people who faced firehoses, police brutality, and fire houses are still alive today?
Excuse me. The "fire house" thing was suppose to be dogs. =P The Jim Crow Laws, Separate But Equal, Whites Only, Rodney King. The Klu Klux Klan! Its power ebbs and flows but for a long time it was a terrible force responsible for murders and violence up to recent memory. No, we've yet to get over something that has barely receded.
What does the South have to bitch about? Nothing. The Reconstruction era, while unfortunate, lasted only from 1865–1877.
And how did Reconstruction end? With the South regaining a great deal of power and "dignity" which it then turned to white supremacy in establishing the Jim Crow Laws among other unjust and unfair proclamations. Oh, and like I said, let's not forget the KKK which found great stride in this wonderful era.
So, yeah, Sistarovat, there's nothing hypocritical about telling you to get over the South losing the Civil War.
Whites (Southerners) never had to face "North only" fountains or "black only" bathrooms (of course, going to a black bathroom was beneath a white man anyway so he wouldn't go unless he had to). It took HOW LONG for our president to be anything but white? Yet we've had plenty of Southern Presidents.
Southerners clinging to the lost cause, southerners who are still bitter over the Civil War? I have no sympathy. You weren't alive then, get over it.
@jrayeyt I didn't say that every single last Union soldier was fighting JUST to save the Union, just as not every single Confederat soldier was fighting JUST to defend their wives and children from the invading Northern aggressors. I was saying that was the corporate cause of the North. Btw, for every Yankee soldier you can find who wrote about ending slavery, anyone who does any moderate research on the war could find at least four that expressed the preservation of the Union as the only cause.
You make it sound that preserving the union is some great evil. And it's true, that you ARE making sweeping generalizations. Duty and honor were just as much causes as was the issue of slavery which ignited the whole affair. Really, the root cause of the Civil War was the issue of Slavery. This is not to be confused with freeing the slaves as that was only a part of it. The economic, moral, and political ramifications of the institution of slavery paved the way for the Civil War.
who would be man enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with the odds of getting shot by .58 caliber bullets or getting blown up by cannons or stabbed by bayonets or smacked in the face with the butt of a musket?
@KenshilmmortalWolf The African race had been enslaved for two and a half centuries in America before the Civil War. Most of them had been brought to Amrerica on Massachusetts and Connecticut ships. The reason the North fought didn't have anything to do with slavery. They fought because they didn't want the Union broken up. Lincoln himself said if he could preserve the Union without freeing a single slave he would. You're a hopeless hatemongering ideologue if you compare Confederates to Nazis.
@Sistarovat Have you searched the heart of every Northern soldier to know why he joined up. Sgt Phillip Rice Hamlin of the MN 1st Volunteers, in one of his last letters home, wrote that ending slavery was a cause worth dieing for. He died at Gettysburg. His younger brother, Jacob, died at Nashville with the MN 7th. They were my great grandfather's two eldest brothers. Also, Massachusetts and Connecticut had both ended slavery well before the Civil War.
as a history buff i lean towards the Union. The confederacy was a bunch of fanitics who hid behind states rights when in actual they wanted free labor, slaves, and big plantation houses. i would have fought for my proud birth place of NEW JERSEY.
I saw this movie in 10th grade history class....late 1999. It took about two weeks for us to watch all of it and I loved every minute of it. I eventually got the dvd and I watch it on a regular basis. When Iced Earth released this Album in 2004 I loved it more than the other albums theyve done because of the movie. As I listened to the music I was watching the movie in my mind and was able to understand the lyrics perfectly. Thank you Mojobytes for doing this, great job ^_^ *cheers
Take a page from Chamberlain, lads. You know what he did when the Rebels surrendered at the court house? The man ordered a fucking salute.
So how about we all say, fuck it, and respect the warriors, North and South, for their valor and honor. Both sides suffered greatly. Sickness, famine, death. Both sides went through it all. The conditions back then were total shit no matter which side of the Mason Dixon you were on.
It's not a question of supporting troops. Any soldier has my respect. It's these shit pukes who cling to their coat tails and sound off behind the Lost Cause and just can't seem to let go of a conflict.
We are all Americans, a fact which was signed in blood. We are all part of the United States of America, lives in many conflicts saw to that.
People would rather piss on that sacrifice than understand it and work to make better our country.
It's amazing Yankees want Southerners to just "get over it", but think that black people have justification for holding grudges for their ancestors being mistreated. At least slaves weren't starved to death like Southern women and children were. Will get over it when the North helps us restore the Republic, starting by repealing the unconstitutionally enacted 14th Amendment which has basically set up a Judicial Dictatorship.
@Sistarovat there is a different between mistreatment (though i think the african american community should get over it, it was over a century ago at this point) and just being defeated for having a weaker armor and over all weaker and more negative ideals such as racism and slavery, you should get over it, you tried to enforce your goals, and lost, that is what happens in the end when you try to enslave or destroy an entire race, we did the same to the nazi's when they targeted the jewish
Understand that slavery ended after the Civil War but racism and abuse continued well into the 60s and still lingers to this day. It's very difficult to get over something that many African Americans/blacks/whatever you wish to use were alive during the Civil Rights Movement where dogs and hoses were turned on them.
I'd also like to remind you that at least white people were able to vote, could use any facility they wanted, didn't have to live in fear of being lynched simply because they looked in the direction of a white woman, didn't have to face the extreme poverty as long as blacks, and at the end of reconstruction had all the power they could want while still being part of the US of A. Oh yeah, have there been any laws to oppress whites? Wait, no? No white jim crow laws? So? Shut it.
Interesting forum for discussing the impact of Gettysburg on the Confederate war effort.... Hey, did anyone notice the music playing in the background? Good stuff.
Great song. Another southerner here and I gotta say one of the main reasons the Union won was because they had Little Round Top and they held the highground. I ain't tryin to start nuttin but we did win more battles than yall sooooooo just think about it.
@ikillyouuuuuuuuuuuuu Hah so your saying one battle was the deciding factor not even the battle at Richmond but in the middle of PA? Please, get some mental help.
@ikillyouuuuuuuuuuuuu I'd also love to state that no the south is not going to succeed again because states don't matter to people like they did back then. It would not be a state on state civil war if one broke out, it would be ideology vs ideology. and the lines would not be so clear cut. I'd also like to point out that semi-automatics don't work to well against Abram Tanks.
@Tigerbeetweenie. 1.Ok you got me on the grammar. Happens when I get a bit angry 2nd. Im pretty sure that reply wasnt meant for you its for the amdsoccer94 guy who keeps talking shit about The South being better then the North this or that. Did I EVER say I supported the South? What I was trying to get accross there (and failed it seems) was that as you said in another reply, That we are one Country. I only used my family as an example of that as well. Ok?
@amdsoccer94 'we' dont want you? listen asshole, my family comes from North and South. I was born in the South, My parents and brothers were born in the North. My uncles were born in the south, some aunts were born in the north. You dont speak for every fucking southerner. so shut up. Also, hate to break it to you 'you love america but you love the south more'? GROW UP! The South is part of the US as is the North. Loving the South more then America is impossible. IT IS AMERICA.
@Gaurdsman221 1st. Grammar...nuff' said. 2nd Kid, your the one that needs to grow up. I wasn't trying to speak for every southerner, only dipshit kids like you who try to get involved with things that have absolutely nothing to do with them. No one asked jack shit about your family so don't use them as an excuse to justify your ignorant ass. The "South" only existed in your idealistic context for 4 years ,over a hundred years ago. Don't act so shocked. Oh and by the way, I'm from Tennessee.
@Darkrunner1975 You better not be talking about ALL southerners. I have close family from down there and they dont care that they lost the civil war. Of course we get in some interesting debates about it but its the past. And the main reason the war was started was because their was miscommunication between confederates and the union and the confederates shelled the fort.
So DONT come on a video about the civil war and say something that you know is gonna piss off other people.
Should have let the south secede. They'd be part of Mexico by now. I say that because being from northern michigan, I travel down south quite frequently for work and there are many fools still pissed about the civil war. As if they themselves lost something.
@amdsoccer94 Your probably a 16 year old asshole who's still butthurt over a war that a) he didn't fight in b) was almost a half century ago. Get over it. It's called history for a reason. You want to start another civil war so you can say that "the south is better"? I hate to break it to you but those lines are long gone. We are a united country. The North and South are just a directions now. I don't mean disrespect to the men that fought for what they believed in but the civil war was a waste.
@Tigerbeetweenie i am 16, but im not in butt hurt over the war. i just hate yankees. you assholes are moving down here now and we dont want you. btw the civil war was about 150 years ago, not half a century dip shit. i love america, but i love the south more. i also hate our current government. so you just keep drinking the kool aid.
@amdsoccer94 "Down here now?" Hate to break it to you, but that happened during Reconstruction directly after the Civil War. I also wouldnt say "we" when your opinions, as biased as they are, do not speak for the whole of the Former Confederate States
@Ariaelyne reconstruction was a fail. NOBODY who is a native to mt. juliet, tennessee wants you ass holes moving into our town. just a few years ago we were a small town where everyone knew each other and everyone was happy, now we have 20000 people living here and crime has increased like never before. im sure most would agree with me.
@amdsoccer94 That's a better response, a more focused area is far easier to credit with certain feelings. I will agree that one of the main problems with population growth is the exponential increase in crime rates. By the way, I'm from Colorado which I do not believe was heavily involved in the Civil War.
@Ariaelyne well i hope you can see why i hate yankees. one of my best friends was murdered in cold blood for his watch and 60 bucks. by the way, colorado is a beautiful area. one day i want to move west.
@Warman88888888 Do you know why the South "can't just get over it?" Do you have any idea what the South went through in the War? Inflation, famine, mass shortages? We can't get over it...because the North never went thru those things. And a part of us still resent that. The people at Vicksburg had to eat their own shoes because they had such appalling food shortages. Think about that next time you tell the South "to get over it."
@Warman88888888 I never said either side was "better". I said the South went through a hell of a lot more, shortage and inflation wise. Which is true. The new North and South magazine has a GREAT article on the Vicksburg siege and how the people of Vicksburg suffered and starved.
Um, it's sad but um.... People ALWAYS starved in ANY siege in ANY war. Learn some military history. You think the French didn't starve in Paris in 1871 when the Prussian besieged them? They did, they had to eat a fricking elephant from their zoo you fool.
@amdsoccer94 Do you really need to reply to every comment on this video? Seriously?
Get this through your head: You only own the couple thousand or so square feet that make up your home. You don't own the South. Also, speak for yourself, it's not for you to decide whether or not "northerners" can come down either. You weren't born with the gift of trolling, so just stop trying.
Thank you so much for this upload! Damn good movie and damn good album. I saw the movie before Iced earth released their album and i was able to understand the music so much better. I know Jon Schaffer is a history buff, thats why I love this album so much. Just adds another level of appreciation when watching the movie and/or listening to the music. Awesome all around ^_^
In this era of anger at our Federal Government many people still argue the principal issues of the Civil War. But as Lincoln had said of the two enemies he faced, the Confederate States in front, and the banking thieves behind him, he feared the one behind him the most. Most people don't know that the slavery Lincoln wanted to save all of us from with the Greenbacks and debt-free currency, was what has ruined the Republic today. The Federal Reserve, and ROME have all but won this war they began.
Why do people try to make this war about Slavery? Slavery played a very small part.
Slavery became a major issue with the Emancipation Proclamation. Which, no matter what the history books try to tell you, was not designed to help the slaves, it was designed to kill the Confederacy's economy. The Union kept slaves during and after the war.
The real major reason for the war was the same reason for most every other war in the history of the world. Land and money.
Why do people do that? Because people like you have your heads crammed so far up your ass you don't know what you're talking about. Slavery was an issue long before the Emancipation proclamation. It was an issue before old Abe even took office. There was a great deal of friction in the border states between free and slave, not to mention the issues of runaways and the abolitionist movement.
Land and money was a part of it, certainly, but so was slavery.
@crissy214 dude it's not immature music, and it fits the movie well. Also he made this video for the song just decided to put the movie as a video for the song douche
@crissy214 dude it's not immature music, and it fits the movie well. Also he uploaded the song first then decided to make a video to go along with it douche.
Listen to the lyrics and tell me that they are immature. Iced Earth is one of the most "mature" bands there are, and in a good way. Lyrics about history and literature mostly.
@crissy214 The movie doesn't even show key points of the battle. the 20th Maine and the one PA regiment they show weren't the only groups on little round top. Infact the 140th New York infantry, with 450 guys, charged before the 20th Maine did and stopped 1000 Texans from flanking them. Do they show that? No. Do they show Cemetary Hill? No. Do they show Culp's Hill? No. The movie doesn't even begin to dwell deep on the detail of the battle.
This song is exactly why i cannot go with anything slower than metal, a song which recaptures the feeling of the war. War was so hard back then, with only a rifle with a 1 minute or more reload time so you more and likely was alway's out in the open and you knew a bullet could be flying towards you at any time. That would be very horrendous to think about while fighting, to know any minute your life will end.
it might just be me but has anyone else noticed that there're all these movies and books on the north's side of the war and they always portre the Rebels as a bunch of mindless apes with muskets.... pisses me off
@doggycrap55 an i wish the south would have won cuz we wouldn't have the shit that our country gives us now. so the north can go suck a big black dick!!!
@bashenbrian oh please were probably one of the best places to be in the world right now you ignorant and racist asshole the south were weak and their cause unethical they deserved to get fucked by the union
@StoicSentry If you mean who they are singing about, its Armistead (confederate) and Hancock (Union). In real life as well as in the song and movie, they were incredibly deep friends, almost brothers.
@StoicSentry Lo Armistead and Winfield Hancock. they were best friends and Armistead actually told Hancock before the war. "if i ever raise my hand against you may the good lord strike me dead" they had to fight eachother in Picketts charge and Armistead was killed. his last words were "tell General Hancock how sorry i am"
No offense to the boys in Little Round Top, they did a great job. But history forgets the two gallant regiments on Culp's Hill who held it for most of the second day's fighting. The 78th and 102nd NY infantry. They fought the rebs off until reinforcements came. Two regiments, with 20 feet of space between each man, fighting behind breastworks and into the night.
great job,going to work on my own video,Iced Earth is my favorite band..History my favorite topic..we must learn from the past or we doomed in the end.
There're periods where I'll without listening to any of the tracks on The Glorious Burden and out of nowhere I'll get the desire to put it in. Every time I get to the Gettysburg trilogy I become enamored with it once again. As you listen you can feel the raw emotion come through as it dawns on you the significance of the sacrifices made - and when you hear the order to fix baronets - you feel an overwhelming sadness that for many this would be the last order they would ever carry out.

NO dude, I am from southern Ohio, rural area, the clan did NOT DiE in 18anything. They are alive and kicking to this day. Unfortunately we may need them and not for the blacks or jews(who never did anything to deserve hate in the first place). There is a new poison spreading like a plague. I'll give you a hint 9/11 and those who danced in the streets at our loss, and Bin Laden's death (if true) means nothing, another steps into his place and again and again and again, we may need to get evil.

@Mahbu You need to do some research on the Klan before repeating what you've heard. Ever heard of Wikipedia? The Klan literally died out in the early 1870s. It was resurrected as primarily a Protestant political movement in 1915 and by 1925, over 15,000,000 registered voting Americans from all fifty states had joined. It was most powerful not in the South, but in Indiana and Ohio.

And before anyone tells me most people in the south did not own a substantial number of slaves, stop. I know. Plantation owners were a minority, true, but they were also the richest and most powerful. Politically, economically, culturally. They were the politicians or friends of politicians. They exemplified southern culture and those beneath tried to emulate them. Of course they could cajole others to fight for them. (next comment)

Both sides were willing to fight for what they believed in. Neither side was wrong and good men gave their lives for what cause they believed in. So remember kids, next time your history teachers try to give you the tired rhetoric of the south is evil for wanting slaves and thats why it was fought, tell them theyre full of shit...

While I'd like to believe that neither side was wrong? I'm pretty sure the south was. Don't mistake that as saying "oh the North was right" or "the North was just", but the South definitely was wrong. I know the popular argument with lost causers and defenders of the south is that it was about "states rights", but states rights to do what? Maintain the institution of slavery. (Next comment)

Slavery was/is the cause. No, the North did not wage a war to free slaves. Yes, the North wanted to maintain the Union. And YES the War had every bit to do with slavery. The whole reason the South seceded was because of issues directly linked to slavery. Politically, economically, and morally. And unlike what a lot of people here want to believe, it did not start with Abraham Lincoln. (next comment)

The South took issue with tariffs (ties in with industrial north vs agrarian south), for one thing, which outrage would be understandable except that up until that point, most tariffs had favored the south yet one favoring the north was too much?
Then the issue of future states comes into play, too. Would they be slave or free? The North favored free which would put slave into a minority (next comment)

Which threatened their stranglehold on the federal government. Which basically tells us they were mad they didn't have the power they once had and strikes me as spoiled. Everything was okay with the federal government unless they didn't have sole say, in other words, in which case. . secession!
Which leads to the state rights bullshit. The stuff they fed to non-plantation/rich folk but really it boiled down to states rights to maintain the institution of slavery. (next comment)

And then there was already bloodshed before the civil war over the issue of slavery, oh yes. Free against slave. Look up Bleeding Kansas, John Brown, Dredd Scott. Which is another thing, the South expected all their laws of slavery to be upheld in the North when they came up to visit and the North did not want to play that game.
Then of course, southerners in power were growing agitated and fearful of the abolitionist movement (next comment)

I don't think so. Never once did a teacher tell me the South was evil, never once did a text book. But I do believe there were people in the South who wanted power, wealth, and more.

Now that I have the righteous anger out of my system, great song with a great video. Fun fact: The battle of gettysburg was fought over shoes. And for all the slavery commenters (myself included), the war wasn't about slavery. Slavery was simply the embodiment of the South lifestyle. Something tangible for the schools to say we fought over. In the end the South believed that the states should have more power than the central government and the North believed otherwise...

@Mahbu Wow! You talk as if every Klansman hated blacks and as if the Ku Klux Klan actually wielded any power over Southern governments. The Klan as a paramilitary organization died out in 18702. The political activist KKK, which was merely a subgroup in the Democratic Party experienced political power only from 1920-1928. Several small rougue Klan groups emerged as a backlash to unconstitutional, forced integration, but their political power was limited to Mississippi and Birmingham local govts.

Um. Yeah? For the longest time they did. Many prominent politicians were either Klansmen or friends with/supported by the Klan. That's fact.
And Klansmen do hate blacks. And pretty much anything that isn't white. A couple men tried to shift that focus from "anti-nonwhites" to "pro-white" but that was really just PR mumbo jumbo.
And the Klan was responsible for many murders/lynchings and attacks/assaults up to and throughout the civil rights movement. So don't give me that bullshit

@Mahbu If blacks were really treated so horribly after the War of Yankee Agression, why did they stay in the South. Heck if it was really as horrible as you make it sound, either they really were born for submission, hmm...or you they really didn't hate Jim Crow as much as you and every other South-hater wants people to believe. Once they were free, they were free to leave the South and the whole cotton-pickin' US of A for that matter.

@Mahbu I hate to dredge up old comments but thats what youtube is for correct? You stated that they faced discrimination after and to that I will definitely agree however in the years since I have been alive I have been faced with a racism from blacks easily as strong as we ever gave to them. I grew up in an area where the blacks believed we owed them something and treated us like shit. They would get violent without any provocation because they were taught...

That would be because racism has not disappeared and they still face discrimination even after the civil rights movement. It's actually kind of hard to uplift an entire people, I hope you realize.

@jrayeyt I didn't say that every single last Union soldier was fighting JUST to save the Union, just as not every single Confederat soldier was fighting JUST to defend their wives and children from the invading Northern aggressors. I was saying that was the corporate cause of the North. Btw, for every Yankee soldier you can find who wrote about ending slavery, anyone who does any moderate research on the war could find at least four that expressed the preservation of the Union as the only cause.
Sistarovat 8 months ago
@Sistarovat
You make it sound that preserving the union is some great evil. And it's true, that you ARE making sweeping generalizations. Duty and honor were just as much causes as was the issue of slavery which ignited the whole affair. Really, the root cause of the Civil War was the issue of Slavery. This is not to be confused with freeing the slaves as that was only a part of it. The economic, moral, and political ramifications of the institution of slavery paved the way for the Civil War.

@KenshilmmortalWolf The African race had been enslaved for two and a half centuries in America before the Civil War. Most of them had been brought to Amrerica on Massachusetts and Connecticut ships. The reason the North fought didn't have anything to do with slavery. They fought because they didn't want the Union broken up. Lincoln himself said if he could preserve the Union without freeing a single slave he would. You're a hopeless hatemongering ideologue if you compare Confederates to Nazis.
Sistarovat 8 months ago
@Sistarovat Have you searched the heart of every Northern soldier to know why he joined up. Sgt Phillip Rice Hamlin of the MN 1st Volunteers, in one of his last letters home, wrote that ending slavery was a cause worth dieing for. He died at Gettysburg. His younger brother, Jacob, died at Nashville with the MN 7th. They were my great grandfather's two eldest brothers. Also, Massachusetts and Connecticut had both ended slavery well before the Civil War.

@amdsoccer94 Do you really need to reply to every comment on this video? Seriously?
Get this through your head: You only own the couple thousand or so square feet that make up your home. You don't own the South. Also, speak for yourself, it's not for you to decide whether or not "northerners" can come down either. You weren't born with the gift of trolling, so just stop trying.

Thank you so much for this upload! Damn good movie and damn good album. I saw the movie before Iced earth released their album and i was able to understand the music so much better. I know Jon Schaffer is a history buff, thats why I love this album so much. Just adds another level of appreciation when watching the movie and/or listening to the music. Awesome all around ^_^

In this era of anger at our Federal Government many people still argue the principal issues of the Civil War. But as Lincoln had said of the two enemies he faced, the Confederate States in front, and the banking thieves behind him, he feared the one behind him the most. Most people don't know that the slavery Lincoln wanted to save all of us from with the Greenbacks and debt-free currency, was what has ruined the Republic today. The Federal Reserve, and ROME have all but won this war they began.

Why do people try to make this war about Slavery? Slavery played a very small part.
Slavery became a major issue with the Emancipation Proclamation. Which, no matter what the history books try to tell you, was not designed to help the slaves, it was designed to kill the Confederacy's economy. The Union kept slaves during and after the war.
The real major reason for the war was the same reason for most every other war in the history of the world. Land and money.

Why do people do that? Because people like you have your heads crammed so far up your ass you don't know what you're talking about. Slavery was an issue long before the Emancipation proclamation. It was an issue before old Abe even took office. There was a great deal of friction in the border states between free and slave, not to mention the issues of runaways and the abolitionist movement.
Land and money was a part of it, certainly, but so was slavery.

@crissy214 Immature music? Funny.
Listen to the lyrics and tell me that they are immature. Iced Earth is one of the most "mature" bands there are, and in a good way. Lyrics about history and literature mostly.

@crissy214 The movie doesn't even show key points of the battle. the 20th Maine and the one PA regiment they show weren't the only groups on little round top. Infact the 140th New York infantry, with 450 guys, charged before the 20th Maine did and stopped 1000 Texans from flanking them. Do they show that? No. Do they show Cemetary Hill? No. Do they show Culp's Hill? No. The movie doesn't even begin to dwell deep on the detail of the battle.

This song is exactly why i cannot go with anything slower than metal, a song which recaptures the feeling of the war. War was so hard back then, with only a rifle with a 1 minute or more reload time so you more and likely was alway's out in the open and you knew a bullet could be flying towards you at any time. That would be very horrendous to think about while fighting, to know any minute your life will end.

Who are the two guys depicted in the beginning?
StoicSentry 1 year ago
@StoicSentry If you mean who they are singing about, its Armistead (confederate) and Hancock (Union). In real life as well as in the song and movie, they were incredibly deep friends, almost brothers.
VonMudra 1 year ago
@StoicSentry Lo Armistead and Winfield Hancock. they were best friends and Armistead actually told Hancock before the war. "if i ever raise my hand against you may the good lord strike me dead" they had to fight eachother in Picketts charge and Armistead was killed. his last words were "tell General Hancock how sorry i am"

No offense to the boys in Little Round Top, they did a great job. But history forgets the two gallant regiments on Culp's Hill who held it for most of the second day's fighting. The 78th and 102nd NY infantry. They fought the rebs off until reinforcements came. Two regiments, with 20 feet of space between each man, fighting behind breastworks and into the night.
