We Are Coming Father Abraham

[drtee51]

I like this melody better than the other one that you sometimes hear sung. Both are good, but I think this one was a Stephen Foster effort, wasn't it?

And yes, I agree, it's been 150 years. So, @bmmaclean50 and @makedeido and @ civilwarguy100 and @YambidiBlamBlam and @antifreetrader: KNOCK IT OFF! THE WAR'S OVER!

[Pyrela]

I still like how people hate each other over this stuff. No matter which side you prefered, all the people involved are long dead and it's over. Hating people over where they happen to live or which side they liked most way back when is kinda stupid.

And calling someone "seccessionist trash" in this country is stupid. Our entire country was founded on it. lol

[FortDuffieldVoluntee]

What unit are these guys with?

[Mr19thIndiana]

The guy on the left, was my Officer at Hartford.

[YambidiBlamBlam]

It is funny how somebody can talk crap about "seccessionist trash" and then say they are pro-Liberty. What the hell do you think succession is? People trying to LIBERATE themselves from a usually very corrupt and oppressive nation. Succession = Liberation, no matter what side you are on.

[antifreetrader]

always a plantation master boot licking dixie diaper around!

LONG LIVE THE SOUTH

DEATH TO THE FEDERAL TYRANNY OF THE U.S. GOVERMENT

[VictorLepanto]

It is astonishing at this late date, w/ so many militant secularists lying about what our nation is & always has been, how utterly soaked in the Bible our American culture has always been. This song w/ its ironic association b/t Lincoln & the real Father Abraham. Compare this w/ Lincoln's own subtle & deep association of our nation's struggle w/ the Biblical precedent in his Gettysburg Address. The subtle & tacitly understood Biblical references were like breathing for these people.

My ancestor died at Salem Church, Sgt. Noah Peck, 2nd RI Volunteers of wounds received. Huzzah for the Army of the Potomac! Huzzah for the brave men of both sides who died bravely in that sad war.

[klinder2]

[makedeido]

[civilwarguy100]

@bmmaclean50 YAH UNION FOREVER

[1129abbo829]

Proud to be a New Yorker! Proud to be the greatgrandson of a Unionist! Proud to have blood kin buried in the sacred soil of Gettysburg. Stand ready to answer to call when this nation wakes up and decides to crush, once and for all, the mean spirited filth who stole the proud party of Father Abraham, Teddy and General Dwight - great Americans whose souls won't rest until we do.

[johan12564]

Give'em hell boys!!

[Mr19thIndiana]

[smrt1111111111111]

@westjrhi Your comments, sir, are both immature and pitiable. Do you care to argue your point, or would you be so kind as to refrain from such commentary.

[DixiePride18]

@JustOneMoreChild The South shall rise again, Look away look away Dixie Land.Deo Vindice Maryland for the Confederacy

[rifleman1122]

proud to be from New York. New York and Massachusetts won the Union cause.

American folk music never ceases to amaze me, especially those from the Civil War era.

[jolyjacktar]
