To the bigots: You bring shame upon our history by using antiquated slurs like nigger. The soldiers should be remembered as family men fighting for their States and be untarnished by your lot. Some blacks even fought with them. Most US blacks have Southern blood. There was racism in their time (CSA) because they were products of their time period. But only the ignorant still cling to racism to make themselves feel large at others' expense. Can't you be worth something without belittling others?
its banned on the mobile YouTube and just what is controversial about it. there is a hundred vids on here that are far worse and have lots of terrible language on it what makes this song so bad they feel they have to warn you that it is going to offend some people
what is with the line "I hates the declaration of independence too"? wasn't it written by a southerner? Don't some of the signatures on the document belong to southerners?
@AdrblAznGrl I knew the Civil War was long after independence . . .
The people in question were from the south, so I am sure it was proper to call them southerners even long before the Civil War. I just don't understand the line about hating the declaration of independence. I thought southerns though of the civil war as the 2nd war for independence and that they were fighting for the rights outlined in the declaration of independence.
I am Proud to be Cherokee, Southern and a True "Redneck". Remember the Tennessee Volunteers who broke treaty and fought with the South for our Freedom of the Cherokee Nation. Remember the "The "Half-Breed Gorillas Fighters". Remember how they punished us long after the war for being Native Americans who fought not for slavery but our Freedom!!
Long live the South, Long live the Cherokee Nation!!
dont let the government fuck you over hold on to your guns while they hold their ass cause we dont need to take shit off no sand nigger and his bitches!!!!!!!
We Southerons have knownledge of our southern history. Those yankees has let this Yankee Nation,browbeaten and brianwash them. They try to spraed animosity among the southern people ,with lies . The war was not about slavery {slavey was the cover up of Lincoln lies}. I have a yankee comrad and he knows this is the truth and he tell you the same.
its funny cuz all the yankees who watch these videos talk about how stupid and ignorant and backwards the southern people are when in reality, the only good people we seem to have anymore are those from the south. i swear i haven't met but 3 decent yankees in my whole life.
Translation of my earlier post: "FYI, Point Lookout was a Yankee prison in Maryland. They always talk about the horrors of Andersonville in Georgia, but they did just as bad if not worse. Search for the "Immortal 600" for the story of a policy of mistreatment of Confederate prisoners by the US govt.

descendant of 7 Confederate veterans, among them one of the Immortal 600"
(1st Lt. Benjamin D. Merchant, Co.A 4th Virginia Cavalry)
Just to point out to Mr. RonPaulHatesBlacks on here that lincoln sent a letter to the southern goverment which said they could keep the slaves if they dropped their guns....look it up dude historical fact!!!! And Real southerners love Dixie and her flag and heritage DEO VINDICE!!!!
Stop calling Black people niggers...some of you folks are doing nothing but making Dixie and the rest of us look bad. There are alot of good black people out here, and during the war of northern aggression many blacks served our Confederacy honorably just check your confederate state pension records. Leave that racial hate out of our beloved Confederate Heritage please!
@joandwill13 Copying a charector stand up comedian from Nebraska who makes fun of rednecks to there faces while they smile on stupidly doesent make you sound southern it makes you sound like a suburban yankee whos desperate to act southern
Scarlet O´hara spoke with intonations and accent of her nigger nanny. So did all the sons and daughters of plantation owners. The boys a kind of less, because were trained to attenuate the nigger influence.
Southern poor whites spoke differently, more like westerners, they had different interests from the rich owners. White farmers had a lot to win from Lincoln´s policies of opening the West as free and white soil; instead, they preferred to be cannon fodder for the war of the rich plantation.
Pour info, "Pint Lookout" etait un prison Yankee dans l'etat de Maryland. Ils parlent toujours des horreurs d'Andersonville en Georgie, mais ils ont fait aussi mal, sinon encore pire. Recherche les "Immortal 600" pour l'histoire d'une politique de maltraitement des prisonniers Confederate par le gouvernement Americain.
@johncashrocks221 : Actually, I'm an Alabaman directly descended from (at last count, and still tracking a couple of possibilities) 5 confirmed (I have copies of their service records) Confederate soldiers from Virginia (3), Tennessee (1), and Texas (1) with a solid probability of one from Mississippi too....my research has yet to reveal a Yankee in the woodpile. The fact that I can speak and write French almost fluently is due to having married a Frenchwoman.
@johncashrocks221 : Oh btw, the seventh I claim descent from is collateral descent, not direct. Trust me, I had no problems joining the SCV, and have held several officer's positions in my Camp.
@johncashrocks221 : Because the gentleman who posted the vid is French, and I thought it'd be polite to tell him about the Immortal 600 in his native tongue. I had opportunity to educate a lot of folks about the Southern side of the story while I lived there....they were a lot more receptive to it than most non-Southerners here are! If you like, I'll go ahead and translate what I wrote so everybody else can read it too. :o)
Yeah, y'all good ol' boys got it right in the 1st place. I harken back to the days when rich people owned other human beings. That's God's way. So long as they'z niggras.
By the Civil War, slaves were so expensive, it was almost impossible to obtain one. The British illegalization of slavery made finding new slaves harder than teaching an Albanian math. The Confederates didn't all own slaves. Hell, hardly anyone owned a slave. Besides, the Southern slave owners had to feed and clothe the slaves; the Northern industrialists didn't care if a few hundred people got ground up in their machines every year.
I am not american, not a man of confederate or south, but I can relate and understand this song. It is honest and that is all what matters. Quite frankly, it is one of the most beatiful tunes that came from USA's civil war.
@NelsonMurray555 I don't want to see the Union dissolved, anymore than some of the Confederate leaders like Jeff Davis or Bobby Lee did. I do, however, want it to change--to become once again the kind of country and the kind of government people like Jefferson, Adams, Washington, Paine, and Franklin envisioned it. I would prefer to believe it's not too late. The Southern states seceded only after they believed they had exhausted all other options. I hope it hasn't come to that now.
@josku14 If you haven't noticed, the new patriot act strips peoples rights away. This government is no longer for the people by the people. It's a false Democracy. On top of that the nations infrastructure is falling apart. Quick to rise, quick to fall. People in other nations are wondering what the hell is wrong with America, we're not the way we were. We're lucky to be a shadow of what we were. America is turning into the very thing it fought against.
@NelsonMurray555 I live in Montana, and there are similarities between us and the South in 1861. Granted, we don't have slavery, but we have an economy based mainly on agriculture, we're very sparsely populated, and there's a general consensus that the political power is in the more densely populated areas. I suppose secession would be impractical, unless the entire Pacific Northwest went out of the Union, but I have to admit there are times when it's a tempting thought.
There were Confederate troops in the Montana territory in 1861 and on, and those in current Montana were extremely secesh. They petitioned to have their main town named after the first lady of the Confederacy, denied by those in the north east.
Montana has original Confederate History, and would have been rebel had the south won. Alaska in this day and age would be another Rebel territory in the far north. Take red states today, a good chance they would be secesh.
@TropicalConfederate I suppose you're aware of the Montana gold rush in the 1860's. Lincoln didn't need that gold as much as he just needed to keep it out of Jeff Davis' hands, and while I'm a bit embarassed to say I haven't delved into the subject a whole lot, I'm sure there was a lot of behind the scenes intrigue and cloak and dagger activity going on. I suppose even the emergence of the Montana Vigilantes and the hanging (lynching, actually) of Henry Plummer was tied in with it.
@NelsonMurray555 I agree with you, my question being, how much would the South had suffered if Lincoln hadn't been killed? That's all. No offense intended, hopefully none taken; and I agree with what you said about Lee. He should rest in peace, and those "politically correct" assholes nowadays who are trying to besmirch his name and making a fuss over the Stars and Bars can go fuck themselves.
@NelsonMurray555 Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Lincoln had intended to go easy on the South, but JW Booth kind of fucked that up and Johnson, a man who harbored intense vindictive feelings for the "rebels", ended up in the White House. The South might have enjoyed brief satisfaction at the death of Lincoln, but in the long run, Booth did it no favor. Also, wasn't it the first failed rebellion in history in which the leaders weren't put to death?
New Jersey or Georgia, if you're an American, you're a Yank. I often wonder if, during WWII when American soldiers were billeted in English homes, southern boys had to be told not to take offense when some well-meaning Englishman called him a "yank". I also wanted to tell him that to some people, the term "Yankee" is a compliment and a label to be proud of.
I remember talking to a gentleman from Georgia who remarked that he "didn't like Yankees". I kept my mouth shut, since I live in a state (Montana) whose citizens, I presume, aren't considered Yankees (I don't remember reading about any Montana regiments fighting for the North in the Civil War, anyway), but I felt like reminding him that to some folks around the world--England and Australia, for example--we're all "Yanks". Doesn't matter if you're from New York or Alabama, Ohio or Mississippi,
If the South hadn't tried to secede then the armies of the Union wouldn't have had to to be there, but as it happened many a son both blue and grey sacrificed. Stop bickering and learn to appreciate the music, I am a Union man 100% from Illinois with heritage in Ohio, Kentucky and Maryland. Yet I appreciate the sacrifices made on BOTH! sides. This is a great song and people should separate art from politics.
Look i maybe not a "pure" American, for i am a Greek Immigrant. Yet i believe America should get along, Or there goes off a flash of gunpowder of civil war.
I HATE taking examples from Hollywood movies, but I remember in "Gangs of NY" how the North used to "recruit" their soldiers- finding "cannon fodder" among poor Irish (or other) starving immigrants, debarking in NY city port, telling them, if they'd pick up the musket & blue uniform - they would be fed. One of them, after having signed up asks: "Will they give us bread now?"
Funny there still are people comparing the Southerners, defending their fatherland from an invader, to such "soldiers".
I enjoy the history in this. Some of you folks commenting are idiots. The damn war is over and has been for a long time. Long ago, brother fought against brother. Here on our soil it happened. All the casualties from all American wars added up do not equal the amount that were killed in the north american civil war. That is a testament to the spirit of the U.S.A. . Let the civil war become history and concentrate on our country falling apart today.
Weeeeeeeeell, I heard this song in.... I think... the Long Riders, but i could be wrong. Its a catchy tune, especially this version. My dad's Southern, but the rest of the family is all Northern. So, I guess I have got to say: 69th PA. forever!
I volunteered on a archaeological dig on Johnson Island which was a prison for confederate officers. Why? because I wanted to honor the memory of southern officers who were the most bravest men that ever walked Gods earth! The South will rise again and I will fire the first and last shot! This time the south will win@!
@Gino97 I seriuosly doubt that. the only reason that would happen is because the South has too much pride. The south has always had TOO MUCH PRIDE!!! I think the South should stop thinking about a fucking war that happened 200 years ago, and take pride in their country, the United States of America!
Whoa I am extremly offended in knowing that an American would hate his own countrys color...Anyways the Union won for the better if the Confederates would have won,the country would have been divided in too two and in result both the north and south would have been too weak too defeat Hitler in world war two.Therfore the world would be in shambles and be run by a sick and evil man give something some thought before you say it.
The USA DID NOT defeat Hitler's armies. Between you and "your victory upon Hitler", as You said, there's more than 20 millions dead Russian soldiers and other millions of Polish, French and "Commonwealth" soldiers.
What the USA prevented was only the further advance of communism from the point the red army reached - westwards, saving thus the Western countries from bolschevism. Western Europe may thank You only from preventing Stalin to overtake Europe, rather than Hitler.
Im scottish, over here in Scotland independence is more strong than ever and I can tell you we WILL be free from the UK. And if the southern states want freedom, then hell they deserve it more than ever too.
A Yankees critique of the south in 1860 was a hostile product of a self-absorbed New England culture that felt itself vastly superior to the rest of the United States and felt itself deprived of its rightful mastership of American Destiny. The rise to power of the Republican Party in the 1850s and its war of conquest against the south was nothing more than an assertion of Yankee supremacy...a throwback to its Puritanistic dominating authoritative roots.
the constitutions grants "those who have to power to stop evil to stop it." if so many people as dissaisfied with obammacare, the way the coutry is run. the sececcion is possisble if the state votes for it if the neiboring statesdecide to join in this act is is permissable in is not lawfull to deny a states destiny unscrupulous acts
I have always loved this song,it reminds me of how much the Southern people suffered during that war.Of how the yankees stole most of what we had and how much I truly hate uniforms of blue.
@CharlesWolf1 we can not immediately blame all yankees. the soldiers were mostly blames, however the generals and politicians were all jackasses that destroyed the south (Sherman for example)
@CharlesWolf1 yeah stopping slavery was REAL BAD!!! (sarcasm) Oh no!!! The Southerners had to work on there OWN fucking Farms without hundreds of SLAVES!!!! You stupid Southerners only wanted the money without the work! you guys are the laziest motherfuckers EVER!!! if you had won the War, Millions of Africans would be in shackles and dying!!! working for the RACIST WHITE MAN!!!! If you go to fucking Maryland! All the Blacks are racist because of what you fuckers did to our country.
@CharlesWolf1 Well the one who loses gets the spoils. You guys lost and tried to beat the United States of America. The United States of America has hardly lost a war as of today except a couple and we were not about to give up the country of our forefathers. In the end we (north) wanted to win. The loser pays for the war, winner comes home the victor.
the only reason for the civil war was states rights.....this includes slavery and how much power states should have...not a single southern state voted for abraham lincoln for president yet he still won the war....and PYROTEK40 has a point freeing slaves was at the bottom of the NORTH'S to-do list.
this ron paul guy is just another clear open and shut case of liberal stupidity PICK UP A FUCKING TEXT BOOK YOU RETARD, your makeing this country look bad asshole
leftist marxist vermin have only one answer for anything and everything: if you disagree with socialism, you are a racist. do not feed these communist trolls. this song is about the reconstruction of the south, not about he war per se.
The people they preach that the Confederate Government and its' people fought for slavery should read a little history. No slaves were ever brought over here under the Confederate Flag! To think that all those Confederates( Irish, Scots, Jews and Blacks alike)had fought to keep the black man and woman in bondage has no weight to it! Read what ol' Abe said about the Slavery issue. Great Emancipator, please! Do a little research and don't go off what these Yankee books taught you!
@calejudith I suppose "Abe" is A. Lincoln! On theme now, history is written by the victors! Correct me if I am wrong but I think the only truth in this is that the South used to be, economically, too much depended on the slave-workers of the cotton-fields! But the your grandfathers didn't even fought for that reason! And I also think that if the South would win the war the -independent in that way- Confederation would abolish slavery in her own way -as it happened with many "slavery" nations!
@FBMorse Undoubtedly the Army of Northern Virginia proved to be a far better fighting force then the infantry divisions it faced. Their generals were better two, if the south had of been equivalently armed to the north then it would of been a turkey shoot. Especially considering the poor morale of the irish troops press ganged en masse into yankee infantry.
@KaiserGilloutine Yeap but if you lack those things a strong ally would be appreceated! The British Empire particulary was ready to become ally with the South! But suddenly the North "remembered" the slaves of the South, -the British Empire was an "enemy" of slavery at the time!
in the words of general longstreet, we should have freed the slaves before we took the fort. if they didn't have abolitionists in the north gaining support for a war against the south the south would have won because no yankees would have joined for a fight.
Sorry to be ignorant - I'm a Brit. But which side is this a song for?
The reason I ask is just that it's obviously voiced through a Confederate veteran but it also sounds like a Union-inspired swipe at the South. Lines like "I hate... this great republic too" - seems odd to use the word "great" if you hate it? Also, "I hate the Declaration of Indepence" sounds a little like someone asserting that the Confederates were anti-American (as opposed to anti-US)?
No, you definitely have a point. This version of the song does make the South look bad. The original version seemed to be more sympathetic to the South, but it still didn't make them look great. (It had lots of grammar problems, for example.) It's still floating around YouTube if you want to listen to it.
@AmericanAcquiescence I guess who have to see it from a Southern point of view at the end of the war. They were defeated. Their way of life was changed forever. They were angry. Songs like this came out of that. Men like the James Brothers and the Younger Brothers were products of the bitterness of the Civil War. I don't think any of us can really understand what the South felt after the surrender in 1865.
@ferretchad I figured the use of great was to be ironic. As for the Declaration line...yeah, I never understood that either but it is some of the lyrics often used for the song and the song is definitely supposed to be in defense of the Confederacy.
@RonPaulHatesBlacks Good "counter", but the "harvard jurist" make it , to beginning the war, slavery, declararation of the Confederarion, every man in this world, knows: The muslims overrun Europe, the gouverments are mightless, send 30 Million Turks back!
Juste une question qui me taraude ! si cette guerre avait duré plus longtemps ! le général lee aurait-il incorporé des noirs dans l'armée rebelle pour compler ces pertes en vie humaine !.
Je peux me tromper mais je le pense comme je crois que si le sud avait pu trouvé son indépendance vis à vis du nord !, les noirs auraient un un état ! libre et noir dans le sud !.
Faites le moi savoir si je me trompe avec des preuves !;
@RonPaulHatesBlacks I do not think that the war was fought for just one reason. I do believe that slavery was a big issue in it, but for the majority of the southerners, the ones that didn't own slaves, you know, like all the INFANTRYMEN who did the fighting and dieing (they were volunteers, not conscripts, you know), well I can't help but figure they had a different reason than to keep slaves they didn't have. But hey, maybe that's just me.
Um, yeah. Plenty of Southerners owned slaves in 1861. Plenty more owned them in the past, rented them in 1861, and/or aspired that they or their children would own slaves in the future. And even more supported slavery in principle, and believed that God himself had made blacks inferior and ordained white people to enslave them until the end of time and keep them from fucking white women and "polluting" the bloodstream. Hell, lots of people here support slavery without owning slaves!!!
@RonPaulHatesBlacks Well, you do realize that it was view shared by most of the North, excluding the slave bit? I REEEAAALLLYYY don't think that even hardcore abolitionists accepted a 'negro' diddling his daughter. In fact, as I remember, the favorite solution was shipping them to Liberia.
You see, all of Western Europe were encouraging understanding and acceptance of Gypsy culture and customs, while they were in Eastern Europe but when they emigrated there, well, guess what they want to do now?
What do Northern attitudes have to do with your argument about why Southern "INFANTRYMEN" fought in the war? Or are you just trying to defend the confederacy through a little moral relativism? If so, you're hardly the first to try that tactic. The North wasn't perfect by today's standards, but it was a hell of a lot better than the South's alternative of neverending slavery. After all, every single Northern state peacefully and voluntarily abolished slavery, most years before the war.
@RonPaulHatesBlacks And years after many other countries like Britain or even Mexico. You see, I don't care either way. What I do care about is the poor guys who fought. If your leader told you to go and kill or be killed by countrymen for the right to, I don't know, own a car would you? To say that dirt-poor people gladly fight their own countrymen for the right to POTENTIALLY own somebody is insulting those who bled and died then.
I would not murder American soldiers for the right to own a car. I would stay loyal to my country. Hundreds of thousands of Southerners did the same. Many did right from the start, and hundreds of thousands more joined them over time, until a whopping two-thirds of the Southern army had deserted by 1864. They're the REAL South who should be honored, not the assholes who killed Americans to preserve your beloved slavery until the end of time.
@RonPaulHatesBlacks you ignorant typical blind foolish under educated american the war wasn't over slavery that was northern propoganda much like the modern wars mask of looking for weapons of osama while securing oil the war was over southern cotton owners not wanting to pay an export tax the u.s. government is a greedy band of lying roughians and people like you :-) with a stiff patriotic rod in your ass don't cast bigotous assumtions those deserters are called cowards
@RonPaulHatesBlacks i'm sorry slavery was a part of it but that wasn't the initial cause of the war no matter what any angry ignorant modern day south hating idiot says not calling you that of course but please do some more research before you rant i am a proud southerner and deplore the ancient inbred notions of racial superiority that some of us hold with the stars and bars but its not just here and there are good people down here
Of course it was the cause of the war. You said so when you started it, in your Cornerstone Speech and Mississippi, Texas, Georgia, and South Carolina declarations of secession you STILL have never read. If you had, you'd know that you said "Our position is THOROUGHLY IDENTIFIED with the instittution of SLAVERY--the greatest material interest in the world."
Real Southerners are proud of today's South without embracing the racist confederacy, like real Germans refuse to slurp the Nazis.
@RonPaulHatesBlacks I said so when I started it you are including myself and all modern southerners who have to bare an eternal cross of being uneducted incest racist pigfuckng neandertals while you accept the hand you have been dealt by a morally devoid greedy government that cares nothing for you or your rights love of country is one thing but to blindly follow it into the abyss is the antithisis of the true american way open your eyes and mind fool
Um, yeah. Like I said, you started the war over slavery. We the People and most Southerners, the REAL Southerners, oppose you and pledge their allegiance to ONE nation, under God, INDIVISIBLE. All the lame insults in the world can't change that.
@RonPaulHatesBlacks we didn't start a war over slavery southern cotton farmers started a war no modern american south or north racist or not owns slaves WE owe noone anymore than any other human being for any antiquated conflict that WE had nothing to do with. flags fake borders and religion mean nothing these are the crutches of weak minded men who are deprived of personal thought or feeling and nothing you belive will ever change anything so cease your robotic drivle

Southern poor whites spoke differently, more like westerners, they had different interests from the rich owners. White farmers had a lot to win from Lincoln´s policies of opening the West as free and white soil; instead, they preferred to be cannon fodder for the war of the rich plantation.

By the Civil War, slaves were so expensive, it was almost impossible to obtain one. The British illegalization of slavery made finding new slaves harder than teaching an Albanian math. The Confederates didn't all own slaves. Hell, hardly anyone owned a slave. Besides, the Southern slave owners had to feed and clothe the slaves; the Northern industrialists didn't care if a few hundred people got ground up in their machines every year.

@NelsonMurray555 I don't want to see the Union dissolved, anymore than some of the Confederate leaders like Jeff Davis or Bobby Lee did. I do, however, want it to change--to become once again the kind of country and the kind of government people like Jefferson, Adams, Washington, Paine, and Franklin envisioned it. I would prefer to believe it's not too late. The Southern states seceded only after they believed they had exhausted all other options. I hope it hasn't come to that now.

@NelsonMurray555 I live in Montana, and there are similarities between us and the South in 1861. Granted, we don't have slavery, but we have an economy based mainly on agriculture, we're very sparsely populated, and there's a general consensus that the political power is in the more densely populated areas. I suppose secession would be impractical, unless the entire Pacific Northwest went out of the Union, but I have to admit there are times when it's a tempting thought.

@Arbeedubya
There were Confederate troops in the Montana territory in 1861 and on, and those in current Montana were extremely secesh. They petitioned to have their main town named after the first lady of the Confederacy, denied by those in the north east.
Montana has original Confederate History, and would have been rebel had the south won. Alaska in this day and age would be another Rebel territory in the far north. Take red states today, a good chance they would be secesh.

@TropicalConfederate I suppose you're aware of the Montana gold rush in the 1860's. Lincoln didn't need that gold as much as he just needed to keep it out of Jeff Davis' hands, and while I'm a bit embarassed to say I haven't delved into the subject a whole lot, I'm sure there was a lot of behind the scenes intrigue and cloak and dagger activity going on. I suppose even the emergence of the Montana Vigilantes and the hanging (lynching, actually) of Henry Plummer was tied in with it.

@NelsonMurray555 I agree with you, my question being, how much would the South had suffered if Lincoln hadn't been killed? That's all. No offense intended, hopefully none taken; and I agree with what you said about Lee. He should rest in peace, and those "politically correct" assholes nowadays who are trying to besmirch his name and making a fuss over the Stars and Bars can go fuck themselves.

@NelsonMurray555 Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Lincoln had intended to go easy on the South, but JW Booth kind of fucked that up and Johnson, a man who harbored intense vindictive feelings for the "rebels", ended up in the White House. The South might have enjoyed brief satisfaction at the death of Lincoln, but in the long run, Booth did it no favor. Also, wasn't it the first failed rebellion in history in which the leaders weren't put to death?

New Jersey or Georgia, if you're an American, you're a Yank. I often wonder if, during WWII when American soldiers were billeted in English homes, southern boys had to be told not to take offense when some well-meaning Englishman called him a "yank". I also wanted to tell him that to some people, the term "Yankee" is a compliment and a label to be proud of.

I remember talking to a gentleman from Georgia who remarked that he "didn't like Yankees". I kept my mouth shut, since I live in a state (Montana) whose citizens, I presume, aren't considered Yankees (I don't remember reading about any Montana regiments fighting for the North in the Civil War, anyway), but I felt like reminding him that to some folks around the world--England and Australia, for example--we're all "Yanks".

I HATE taking examples from Hollywood movies, but I remember in "Gangs of NY" how the North used to "recruit" their soldiers- finding "cannon fodder" among poor Irish (or other) starving immigrants, debarking in NY city port, telling them, if they'd pick up the musket & blue uniform - they would be fed. One of them, after having signed up asks: "Will they give us bread now?"
Funny there still are people comparing the Southerners, defending their fatherland from an invader, to such "soldiers".

What the USA prevented was only the further advance of communism from the point the red army reached - westwards, saving thus the Western countries from bolschevism. Western Europe may thank You only from preventing Stalin to overtake Europe, rather than Hitler.

A Yankees critique of the south in 1860 was a hostile product of a self-absorbed New England culture that felt itself vastly superior to the rest of the United States and felt itself deprived of its rightful mastership of American Destiny. The rise to power of the Republican Party in the 1850s and its war of conquest against the south was nothing more than an assertion of Yankee supremacy...a throwback to its Puritanistic dominating authoritative roots.

Also, "I hate the Declaration of Indepence" sounds a little like someone asserting that the Confederates were anti-American (as opposed to anti-US)?

But hey, maybe that's just me.

Um, yeah. Plenty of Southerners owned slaves in 1861. Plenty more owned them in the past, rented them in 1861, and/or aspired that they or their children would own slaves in the future. And even more supported slavery in principle, and believed that God himself had made blacks inferior and ordained white people to enslave them until the end of time and keep them from fucking white women and "polluting" the bloodstream. Hell, lots of people here support slavery without owning slaves!!!

What do Northern attitudes have to do with your argument about why Southern "INFANTRYMEN" fought in the war? Or are you just trying to defend the confederacy through a little moral relativism? If so, you're hardly the first to try that tactic. The North wasn't perfect by today's standards, but it was a hell of a lot better than the South's alternative of neverending slavery. After all, every single Northern state peacefully and voluntarily abolished slavery, most years before the war.
