There's one thing we always forget when it comes to "yankee" or "rebel". We were both blessed with his sacred word and we should remember that before we start another "civil" war. Remember, you call for a second war, you call to fight your brothers, friends, and nephews. And you can't call me a Yankee either, I was born and bred Texan, Houston to be exact.
How bout at least pretend to respect us enough to find out why Southern culture is still very much alive centuries after our people came here. was born & raised in Va. The first incidence of legalized slavery was when a free black man petitioned the court to own another man. Before that, feudalism dictated that slavery 1st came to the colonies by way of indentured servitude. Of the descendants of the poor white serfs. Stop reducing us to racism & slavery. It makes you look ridiculous.
Ok there are a lot of ppl commenting that the civil ear was about slaves and the north wanting the southern land... but lincoln brought up war because he only wanted the united states to be unified... slavery didnt matter to him at that point...
@JeffG62 same here but i don't know where he is buried to put his new Grave Stone on it so it sits in front of my grandmother's House i stand there every once in a while and salute to that stone John Twitty McCoy Fought in this war for the south
If you are going to have anything negative to say of this song, or bring Christianity into this, then don't bother on commenting, this is a song comment ABOUT THE SONG. We all have our different beliefs, if your not a Christian and don't believe that there is a God, there is a time and place to talk of those things. I understand the song talks about God, but common' guys, listen to the song and enjoy it or don't bother commenting.
Everytime I hear this song it makes me cry but I have to give Josh Turner one for singing this song becauses I just love and listin to it everyday I can!!!!!!!!!
@GahdeMalprigi1488x this comment is horrible. I'm sorry for dissing your belief, but your not 'exposing' anything on Christianity. I dont know who you think you are to trash the truth. God cries when we cry. We are his people, the church is the bride of Christ. We are loved. God hates to see us hurt, it breaks His heart when people disobey him, but he doesnt strike them down. We are human, we learn through our mistakes and God made us so he knows that. So dont go dissing the Christianity
in which he raised any confederate property or supporter from the northwest corner of Georgia to the southeast corner. It was not heroic, it was not glorious. It was brutal, cruel, and horrible. As is any other war that has been fought, that is why we must always remember these brutalities in hopes that some day we might find a better way. I write this from my own perspective and research. My background is born and raised in the north in the state of Maine. 2 yrs ago moved to Florida.
I have not now, nor at any point in history heard about a 'nice' or 'fair' war. The truth is this folks, no side is ever 100% innocent. The best I have heard it put is this, "It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, more vengeance, more desolation. War is hell." -Sherman and for those who do not know he probably had more blood on his hands than any one person in the union army, most known for his march through Georgia
it is so sad how we allow the silliest things separate us from each other as a people,as a nation. We are all human arent we? shouldnt matter what part of the globe we are from, the color of our skin, what gender or what language we speak. The pride of man is so ridiculous. Its a silly old phrase but seriously, CANT WE ALL JUST GET ALONG? think of how much we could accomplish if we could find some sort of unity...GENESIS 11...
People are forgeting something very important It has been stated many times and even mentioned in the Gods and Generals dvd that it dosnt matter who was in office be it Linclon or someone else the war was coming. Abe just used the slave thing. Sure its wrong we know that now. Besides many states didnt even join the war cause of the slave issue it wqas more or so protecting their homes from invaders.
I am a white southerner, proud to be from the south, but most of all,proud to be an AMERICAN !!!! I saw segregation as a young boy, but my white CHRISTIAN parents, always told me it was wrong and unfair,and that GOD would changes someday, I witnessed that change, most southerners now have little prejudice and are fair an GOD fearing people, black and white!!!
Anybody paying any attention to the title of this song ??? Jesus died for for FORGIVNESS ... Which means everyone has to FORGIVE... the people of today didn't make slavery, and people should look at the entire story and history of slavery... BUt if all forgives there really isn't anymore conversation to be had about it right ... ????
@lherber21 People think that because thats what they are taught in school. They don't teach the whole story, just what looks good. They want people to think that the north were some big heros. They don't tell you how the north burned crops, killed the innocent, tryed to demote confederate currency and did just about everything they could to make life as miserable and hard in the south as they could. Slavery was bad but it was just an excuse.
@ezekialwheel Hey, if you are a Christian you wouldn't be bad-mouthing people....Now what's in the past is in the past, I mean really people, we are all U.S. citizens, let's just get along.
@ezekialwheel you sit their want to talk bad about southern people when yall are rude and want to say we had slaves well yall did to and you need to learn your history. dumb yankee and yes their rude people every one has them. but you get all upset when yall get backed in a corner. and I make an honst livin thank you
@ezekialwheel you sit their want to talk bad about southern people when yall are rude and want to say we had slaves well yall did to and you need to learn your history. dumb yankee and yes their rude people every one has them. but you get all upset when yall get backed in a corner
@ezekialwheel What the fuck are you talking about? I do not believe I was talking to your broke ass !Where the fuck did you even come up with fighting the war again from what I wrote ?Oh and by the way ass wipe I have a job!You on the other hand are probably a broke ass yankee living off our welfare system!Why are you so worried about a video and who's watching it anyway !Get a life!
@ezekialwheel shut the hell up dude yall were just as bad yall had slaves to and if you want to start crap the union solider were low and basturds why march in to the south and rape women an burn down cities yall are just as bad if not worst so before u start talkin bad about the south put your money were your mouth is and shut the hell up
I love this song !Yes I am a proud southerner(hard not to be here in S.C.)and I just wish people really knew the history of the civil war!So sad that in our country today that lesson in school is still one sided and the one side isn't even the real truth!The big shocker to most people is the yes Lincoln was a big raciest !
I have had this in my favorites for oh a few years now and I just want to say thank you to ALLMOSTGONE for making it and uploading it. My eyes often get misty watching it.

my ancestor Robert Hampton Ramsey was a union officer who fought in the civil war served loyaly an did what he had to do i am honored by all those in my family who served or serve i cant thank them enough or ask anything of them they do what some cant an they defend me an you
i got to visit this battle site an saw the area of the battle its hard to imagine that all those men died on that hollow ground i only hope it never happens again an wish some how it never had to happen at all god rest the souls of all soldiers killed in that war that changed this nation forever ~salutes~ god bless our army an all who serve today
@evetssknabue if you work for a living your a slave because you are bound by that employer to his rules and orders This is called Indentured servantship AKA Slavery
@ageofmatholowmew .....and some people choose to honor their people who made the ultimate sacrifice for what they believed. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
so true the civial war wasnt fought over freedom of the souths slaves it was fought because the north wanted the southern land. if it had been over slavery the north would not have still had slaves after they won the war. they only gave them up when it suited their time. and lincoln was a piece of shit he was never a graet president. my great great grandfather fought in the civial war for the geroiga army as a lt. and no one in our family owned slaves.
I'm black, born in Colorado, and I love the south. There is no place I'd rather live. It has a rich, if bloody, history, like any other place in the world. Its slow, peaceful way of life, hot muggy summers, beautiful scenery and friendly, chivalrous people make this the best place in the world to live. Some rich people owned slaves. The north didn't stop owning slaves until it was convenient for them, and they had an industrial revolution. Their shit stinks, too.
@Hannahdabeast I'm not trying to say your incorrect, because you are correct, but the southern colonies in colonial america were the first ones to have slaves. When they brought indentured slaves from africa to colonial america they put them in the south to work on the cash crops. so therefore, the southern colonies and plantations were the first ones to start slavery. I am and always have been against slavery so don't get the wrong idea. Peace and God bless you!
@Hannahdabeast Born in the north Raised in the south i respect your choice Beast the South is a beautiful place but i leave out in 4 days to the north where ill be spending the next 3 years
this song gives me chills every time i listen to it....i live in west viginia but am from virginia....i can see that there is no unity between these states....but i hope there will be one day
But because the south was fighting against the rising northern control they were assumed to be racist white crackers! So before you go and voice your opinion on a matter check your history first...:Your fellow Redneck and Proud Southern Josh"
@fifezilla: For your information and to educate you just a little on the war in the south and the period. The "North" Held slaves even after the war was over after slavery had been abolished from the south. Your history books and the media depict the south as a ruthless, uneducated tyrant which in fact, the south was a peaceful nation and colony. Which yes had slaves just as much as the rest of the country did.
ok i hate how itunes has no civil war music like Tears of God, If the South would've won- hank williams, or The day the sun stood still. 3 Damn good songs and itunes doesn't have any of them!!!!!!!!!! WTF! Fuck you itunes!
the war was not about race. it was about the goverment telling the south what to do and how they have to live before someone talks shit about race and slavery they need to get there facts straight
So true only the rich owned a slave.Most of the south were poor. I am from western NC mountain people most did not even now any one who had slaves,The war was over rights. The poor did not want to fight butthe rich start a mess and poor people have to clean it up. That is still true. The rich now is goverment and it was back then.
my i dont know how many greats grandfather was in this war and had a family but switched sides and left his family and got another family, which made me. i wouldnt be here without this war. actually i probably would cuz God is just amazing and can work anything any way He wants. so sad how people had to fight their own blood and countrymen.
I love this song it's such a true story. God probabley did cry when our was split apart. It was bloody war and horriable time in our country. God didn't plan this when lead people to the USA. or any contry for that matter. People need to think God gave us the country. So why would you want to tear apart something that God gave you it's just not right.
Today was the first time I'd heard this song and I love it. The civil war is one of my favorite periods of history. This is such a good song, I wish history was more of a focus in school. WE can learn so much! Amazing song, Thanks!
its sad, people say we shouldnt learn of the civil war in school, i say we should go into detail. we need to teach our future what happened in the past, so they relize were we have been, and were we are going. they need to understand that although that civil war was a terrible part of our history, its still in fact "out history" and we need to learn of it. we need to teach our future... "Rember the revolution, the war of brothers, and the fallen towers. and let it be know we have yet to fall"
@AdoAdowowski I agree with you. I do think they should teach this in school. My husband and brothers reenact the civil war. Their unit is the 16th Ga Reg. Com. G but when they play the union soldiers they are the 51st Mass. Com. F. They have a lot of fun doing it and they learn tons of information on the civil war. I even dress up in period dresses and play my own little part.
I'm an American, and I would do anything for our great country, along with the rest of my family. However sad the Civil war was, it was necessary. Nobody likes war, neither the citizens nor the people fighting them. Ecclesiastes 3:8 says there is a time for war and a time for peace. Many things lead up to the Civil war, while it destroyed many things, it reunited us. South and North life styles differed too much. War is never a good thing, but sometimes it's necessary, for FREEDOM!
@Btown693 This song is on a CD called "America Will Always Stand" It has various artists doing civil war songs. I got it from Time Life Music several years ago. I love this song. It was written by Michael Curtis and Josh Turner.
Incredible song. My ancestors fought at Fredericksburg, and later in the Wheatfield at Gettysburg. They were the first members of my family to come to America. They were members of General Meagher's Irish Brigade of the Union Army. I have visited Gettysburg and Antietam, seen where they fought, and walked in their footsteps. Some day I hope to visit Fredericksburg as well.
i remember watching a musice video on cmt or gac cant remember what channel it was, but it josh singing it and they were showing actual clips, does anybody know where i can find it?
Wow, you really did an amazing job with this video. I am a follower of Christ and so this song always really hit hard, but this video really does wonders for me. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. That was truer than with this. You should really consider doing something like this for a living. I don't know how you would do it, but you really have a God-given gift for this sort of thing. May the Lord bless you and if you don't know Him I pray you come to.
You did an amazing job on this video. Ive never heard this song either. I live 15 miles from fredericksburg and have been to the battlefields many times; it is very moving to see those images in my head and hear this song. you're amazing.
Now I think I know why God said He is the "light". When His Holy Spirit is present in my life and in my mind and heart, it feels so good it's like a blinding light in my face - so good I can hardly stand it. Indeed, I am not worthy.
One day we will have a fantastic Matrix, and we will be able to have Pandora or any kind of planet we want there. That will be pretty cool.--> WATCH/MEDIA/SITE dot C O /\/\ remove /
War was over the tyranny of the leadership in DC, they mowed right over states rights and attempted to build a central power, not what the founding fathers wanted. After all was forgotten, and the cause white washed, twisted into a lie, they went right back and finished what they started. If you don't believe that, what would be your assumption on how the country got in the mess it's in now, does Washington work FOR the people or their own interests? Takes more than the president to get us here.
God Bless The Fallen angels but not Forgotten....And I thank the families of our fallen angels and those still over there fighting I told will soon be out there beside them got nine months till i go to basic n ait
i dont understand why people are so hateful. like seriously. i love this song and thats why i listened to it, not so i can diss on other peoples comments, spelling, religion, race. god everyone is a person. dont know them as black or white, or purple yellow, green. it doesn't matter. My name is chris. and thats who i am. thats ALL i am.
What a dark time in our nations history. Brother against brother and father against son. Psalm133:1 says,"How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity!" and the civil war tore us apart and even today we are not competely united. Im a South Carolinian and will forever stand by her but it has taken a toll on our lovely home and its people
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Any of you dummies learn how to spell? Or at least how to learn to use spell check? God no wonder the world is pasting us by. Yep just let the liberals throw more money at the school system. Kids can't count or spell. Or know how to give a good days work.
you know the funny thing about hardcore christians is they completely miss the point. the spelling is vain and the lords name used in context such as this is no where close to vain because the truth of the matter is that we were created in god's image and as we can cry so can he and such a horrorendous event as the civil war can make him cry because we are his children and he wants the best for us.
Just to clarify your point Donkeybowl01, I am sure you meant this, many hardcore christians miss the point. There are some who have it down quite well, I am blessed to be the friend of one. All in all I think Gandhi had it best though, "I like your Christ. I do not like you christians. They are so unlike your Christ."
Its all a song why get all upset over what so one see's and feels himslef with his words of song comce on now..... Lets all be friends and love one another nor white black Indian what ever race one might be get a life and love one another thats all goid so wants in this life come on now... Peace Out
ok...wow...u guys are fighting about something u cntg change...i dnt agree with wat the north did or what the south havin slavary...but the north hated blacks too...i dnt hate anyone of any color until they hate me, my damily, or my God and his word.....but i also dont think blacks shld get money for their ancesters bein slaves...no one was a slave or owned a slave since the mid eighteen hundreds...was it wrong yes...but we cant change it...so let it go for both sides...
I do not believe that violence can prove one side right and the other wrong.War is a show of might and strategy and in no way focuses on the on solutions. Jesus Christ is the answer to your troubles, Cast your cares on the Lord.
The good thins was that Slavery was abolished. Blacks are people too. They deserve the right to have all the same things that we have. Hating someone for the color of their skin is retarded. Slavery is wrong.
No one hated blacks they just thought that a race that was a different color had to be a different form of species and had to be inferior. Therefore they thought it was okay to beat on them. Like some people think its okay to beat on dogs.
Some Yankees wanted slavery too but the south also wanted to be separate from the union They believed that if the north wanted to abolish slavery ( a thing needed to keep the plantations up and running) than the south should be allowed to separate .
no. They were tired of being treated like shit like the colonies were during the revolutionary war. Remember "no taxation without representation"? Also, during the forced draft of the north, since they didn't have 300 dollars to opt out, there were riots which included lynching black people. It didn't have anything to do with slavery until the emancipation proclamation. Look up the Crittenden-Johnson Resolution.
IN REMEMBERENCE TO ALL THOSE WHO LOST THEIR LIVES BY THE WORST ENEMY OF HUMANKIND...WAR.

so true the civial war wasnt fought over freedom of the souths slaves it was fought because the north wanted the southern land. if it had been over slavery the north would not have still had slaves after they won the war. they only gave them up when it suited their time. and lincoln was a piece of shit he was never a graet president. my great great grandfather fought in the civial war for the geroiga army as a lt. and no one in our family owned slaves.

I'm black, born in Colorado, and I love the south. There is no place I'd rather live. It has a rich, if bloody, history, like any other place in the world. Its slow, peaceful way of life, hot muggy summers, beautiful scenery and friendly, chivalrous people make this the best place in the world to live. Some rich people owned slaves. The north didn't stop owning slaves until it was convenient for them, and they had an industrial revolution. Their shit stinks, too.

@Hannahdabeast I'm not trying to say your incorrect, because you are correct, but the southern colonies in colonial america were the first ones to have slaves. When they brought indentured slaves from africa to colonial america they put them in the south to work on the cash crops. so therefore, the southern colonies and plantations were the first ones to start slavery. I am and always have been against slavery so don't get the wrong idea. Peace and God bless you!

But because the south was fighting against the rising northern control they were assumed to be racist white crackers! So before you go and voice your opinion on a matter check your history first...:Your fellow Redneck and Proud Southern Josh"

@fifezilla: For your information and to educate you just a little on the war in the south and the period. The "North" Held slaves even after the war was over after slavery had been abolished from the south. Your history books and the media depict the south as a ruthless, uneducated tyrant which in fact, the south was a peaceful nation and colony. Which yes had slaves just as much as the rest of the country did.

So true only the rich owned a slave.Most of the south were poor. I am from western NC mountain people most did not even now any one who had slaves,The war was over rights. The poor did not want to fight butthe rich start a mess and poor people have to clean it up. That is still true. The rich now is goverment and it was back then.

its sad, people say we shouldnt learn of the civil war in school, i say we should go into detail. we need to teach our future what happened in the past, so they relize were we have been, and were we are going. they need to understand that although that civil war was a terrible part of our history, its still in fact "out history" and we need to learn of it. we need to teach our future... "Rember the revolution, the war of brothers, and the fallen towers. and let it be know we have yet to fall"

@AdoAdowowski I agree with you. I do think they should teach this in school. My husband and brothers reenact the civil war. Their unit is the 16th Ga Reg. Com. G but when they play the union soldiers they are the 51st Mass. Com. F. They have a lot of fun doing it and they learn tons of information on the civil war. I even dress up in period dresses and play my own little part.
Angel317537 1 year ago
I'm an American, and I would do anything for our great country, along with the rest of my family. However sad the Civil war was, it was necessary. Nobody likes war, neither the citizens nor the people fighting them. Ecclesiastes 3:8 says there is a time for war and a time for peace. Many things lead up to the Civil war, while it destroyed many things, it reunited us. South and North life styles differed too much. War is never a good thing, but sometimes it's necessary, for FREEDOM!

Incredible song. My ancestors fought at Fredericksburg, and later in the Wheatfield at Gettysburg. They were the first members of my family to come to America. They were members of General Meagher's Irish Brigade of the Union Army. I have visited Gettysburg and Antietam, seen where they fought, and walked in their footsteps. Some day I hope to visit Fredericksburg as well.

War was over the tyranny of the leadership in DC, they mowed right over states rights and attempted to build a central power, not what the founding fathers wanted. After all was forgotten, and the cause white washed, twisted into a lie, they went right back and finished what they started. If you don't believe that, what would be your assumption on how the country got in the mess it's in now, does Washington work FOR the people or their own interests? Takes more than the president to get us here.

No one hated blacks they just thought that a race that was a different color had to be a different form of species and had to be inferior. Therefore they thought it was okay to beat on them. Like some people think its okay to beat on dogs.
Some Yankees wanted slavery too but the south also wanted to be separate from the union They believed that if the north wanted to abolish slavery ( a thing needed to keep the plantations up and running) than the south should be allowed to separate .
Azsli 2 years ago
no. They were tired of being treated like shit like the colonies were during the revolutionary war. Remember "no taxation without representation"? Also, during the forced draft of the north, since they didn't have 300 dollars to opt out, there were riots which included lynching black people. It didn't have anything to do with slavery until the emancipation proclamation. Look up the Crittenden-Johnson Resolution.
