This song was written in 1857, 4 years before the war started. It was written by northerners and loved by northerners, such as Abe Lincoln himself, and southerners alike. Emmett, who wrote the song, was pretty taken back when the Confederate Army made it their marching song, because he never had any pro-secessionist sympathies. He even tried to change the lyrics to the song because of the Confederacy's use of it. This song was never intended to concern a "confederacy," so enjoy it as such.
As a British person, I guess I don't have the historical baggage that northern Americans have when it comes to stuff like this - but I love this song. It really is the best of American folk songs.
@RebelSoldat1 I am a Southerner, I would just like to clear some things up... Lincoln called for 75,000 volunteers. The United States is not, and has never been, a nation. We are a Union of fifty sovereign States.
@XGDRabidPanda You do realize that the flag you speak of is the flag of the army of northern virginia? A southern army yes, but not the flag of the Confederacy. The flag of the Confederacy was a variation of the stars and strips.
@me55555able I agree. I have a great respect for Abe Lincoln because he wasn’t fitting to make an oppressed people follow his orders; he was fighting to keep a grate nation together so that the issues coed be fixed in doo time.
IF WE SIT ON OUR ASSES AND COMMENT CHEESY COMMENTS ON HERE THE SOUTH WILL NEVER RISE WE NEED TO GET OUT THERE AND START THE FUCKING REVOLUTION NOW:P THUMBS UP IF YOU WILL HELP ME START THE REVOLUTION AND SUCSEED
Mentions slavery, education, high school/ grade school reference and research. Ummmm..... it couldn't be a sock puppet from you know you, could it? Naaaahhh.... no way! Lmao, again. Nice try buckwheat.
As a northerner (Minnesota) I can admit that the South had a right to secede and was being threatened by Northern aggression politically. However, I also believe the Union's being held together was a good thing and that it was sad that the South had to leave to try to protect its interests.
nobody dislikes anything or person because of the color of their skin most people simply do not like the barbaric or primitive and violent , uncivilized behavior or culture that is associated with that color of skin.
@heyBUYthisNOW but the problem is, is that they associate barbaric or primitive and violent, uncivilized behavior or culture with skin color. None of that has anything to do with skin color. There are barbaric, uncivilized people of all races, and civilized people of all races.
@warblerab im glad someone finally sees it that way i try to explain that to people because my word for people who cannot behave civilized is nigger but people automaticly think im raciest even though it has nothing to do with race.
@heyBUYthisNOW I won't automaticly think you're a racist(I'd need to know a lot more about you to say that), but I think the n-word is very, very offensive. I will never use it.
We should all choose a state, like South Carolina, move there, piss of the Yankees with Confederate pride to the point they move out of the state, then when they are gone, we elect each other into state office, write a declaration of independence, secede, and form a sovereign Christian nation. Then watch the chain effect in other states. 65% of U.S. soldiers are from the South, they'll be on our side too.
Then we can invite RPHB over and show him what we did!
Mt Founding Fathers didn't fight the Revolutionary War to preserve a "cornerstone" of white supremacism and slavery. The confederacy did. That's why confederates then and now hate America and my Founding Fathers, and support the racist hatemongers of the confederacy instead.
@RonPaulHatesBlacks I'm a neo-Confederate and I love America, and don't hate it. I'm neo-Confederate and I'm not racist. In fact, I've never heard of a racist neo-Confederate. In racists who come on these videos are as uneducated as you are, nor do they call themselves neo-Confederates. I'd say of the neo-Confederates on Youtube, at least good quarter of them are blacks. This is America, I (should) have the right to secede for whatever stupid reason I want.
@KittyRokher Many other ways? The North refused all negotiations for peace. Heck, they didn't even start the War, the North did when they fired on a Confederate fort in Florida before the Confederates fired on Sumpter. If at all, the South wanted to avoid war because... well,... they didn't have an army. You can hardly fight a war without an army. And of course we had a right to secede. The colonists did it in the first place, why couldn't Southerners?
RPHB's founding fathers owned slaves, his ancestral fathers owned slaves, and his long distant relatives still own slaves. And here the troll resides preaching about slavery. lol. I wonder if the idiot has ever looked in the mirror. Probably not considering how fugly he is.
I'm sorry that black kids pick on you at school, and no black girl will ever agree to fuck you, so you've decided to become a baby racist who hates Muslims,and America. It's sad. I can only hope that when you grow up, you realize that no one is inferior because of skin color or religion, and you learn to judge people on the content of their character instead. That's what it means to be an American. Then you would understand that the CSA was wrong to kill Americans to try to preserve slavery.
@RonPaulHatesBlacks You do realize many Southerners joined the Confederacy when Lincoln called for 80,000 volunteers, right? The Yanks came to kill Southerners. The South was trying to avoid war with the most powerful nation on earth. And now, look at you, you're resorting to hate and profanity.
@warblerab The patriotic ones did, many of them were Irish immigrants who joined for food, others joined for the reward money, then deserted and re-joined a different unit under a new name to get more money.
@RebelSoldat1 perhaps some of that stuff did go on, but some joined to fight for their country. I am willing to bet that some even sympathized with that south's fight for the right to secede, but there home state was on the side of the Union, and they couldn't fight against their own state.
@warblerab That is probable. I imagine some Southerners, like Lee, wanted to preserve the Union but couldn't fight against their families. The comment that I made that is now top comment was mainly pointed toward the Northern leadership.
@RebelSoldat1 The most powerful nation on Earth? That's a bit of a claim considering you had the United States split in two, thus deriving it from some of it's old power. Also. you had the massive and highly militarized armies of Imperial European powers like Britain, France and Russia. the United States was no where near the strength of some of it's European counterparts and calling the U.S. the "most powerful" nation on Earth at the time is incredibly incorrect. If any European nation had
@WesternWarrior93 I'm am talking about production capabilities. The North had a cheap labor force and machinery, and plenty of Irish immigrants to draft into the army. Thanks to new photography, British power was diminishing. We see the U.S.'s massive production capabilities in both WW1 and WW2. A current standing army doesn't count towards military supremacy. It is on the home front that a war is decided.
@RebelSoldat1 Production-wise your correct, the Northern United States was a incredible production power. However there are many forms of power and having massive production and a lot of men doesn't make the United States the strongest power. British power was far from diminishing in the American Civil War, Pax Britannica didn't end until 1914, which is considered the end of Britain's domination. Besides, Britain's economy was still larger by the Civil War, it's navy dominated trade routes and
@RebelSoldat1 protected routes to the Orient that allowed it to gain even more riches, Britain had such a incredible navy that they could easily have blocked any American port and strangled it into submission. Simply put, The U.S became one of the top powers after WWI and it became the strongest nation after WWII for those reasons you mentioned. America did become the greatest great power, but not in the 1860s.
@GIHenry Death to us? Well, by looking at your channel, it does seem that you respect our armed forces. Did you know 65% of the U.S. military is made up of southerners? I bet you didn't know that. America's greatest soldier was a hillbilly, his name Alvin C. York. He single-handedly captured over 130 Germans, killed 30 Germans, all in one battle with nothing but a bolt-action rifle and a Colt .45.
And, anybody who says they want government control over the states is clearly an idiot.
@TheAdmiralPancake It was fought over northern predatory acts. The only thing more ignorant than these dumb ass rednecks are the morons who think the war was fought over just slavery. Go read a history book, you moron.
@RebelSoldat1 ummm u got the data wrong, 65% are not southerners. Even considering southern population and military personnel percentage, that is impossible.
Let me tell you this, only about 22% is southerner. Because TEXAS IS WEST NOT SOUTH! HAHAHA!
and 53% is notherner. get the data straight. idiot.
@GIHenry The Southern cross has 13 stars, not 12. The South and idwest have the highest civilian/military ratio. Oh, and I read a book ("A Sniper in the Arizona") about a Vietnam vet who was from the midwest, but he considered himself a Southerner. He said eveyone got killed or wounded except for the Southerners. When the Yankees got battle fatigue, the Southerners got combat addiction. I don't think that all America's greatest soldiers are from the South by coincidence.
@RebelSoldat1 "the most powerful nation on earth" HAHA, in the 19th century? Are you serious or just retarded? Britain was still the superpower/hyper-power. It's like comparing USA today with some African country.
@Moerdarvalen The British empire was in decline. They won the Zulu wars, but not before they had their asses handed to them by "savages." If you measure power by production capabilities, the U.S. would have exceeded the British on terms of power. Take for instance, the French during WW2. They had the largest standing army in the world, yet even with the aid of the British, their home country was occupied at the very beginning of the war, by pathetic little Germany.
The north Aka government ask lee to fight for theme however had turned theme down cause the south was home and unlike now, in those days the went by honor and so he could not turn his back on the south. After the surender while Davis was running around in hiding lee was going around with union solders trying to restore peace, when lee returned home a photo was taken of him in uniform on his porch.. It be the last time he would wear the gray uniform. Why is lee so hated today if he was a man of
bout the governent and they feared freeing all slaves at once would destroy the south and it did. However the south was wrong to hold onto slavery so much. The south and the north both failed to negotiate to prevent war. In the end then like now the president is not only a man of power but a man of peace, a peacekeeper and lincoln had good ideas and was a good man on many levels but he failed to do HIS job of keeping the peace.

If you used today's laws back then the government should have done what they do now, pass a law but grandfather in all the slaves that had been payed for and let theme be owned all there life but say all blacks born here are free and in 50 years all slavery would of been gone without war.

Sending supplies to a federal fort happens every hour of every day. It's not an act of war.
The textbook method to start a war is to violate our Constitution, seize our property, and open fire on our troops. If the Nation of Islam secedes tomorrow, seizes American property, begins enslaving white people, and opens fire on American soldiers, We the People would be under no obligation to negotiate with them. We would simply stomp the racists into the ground. Either you love America or you don't.
@RonPaulHatesBlacks I love America, not the government, like the colonists loved the colonies, not the government. If it was so wrong for the South to rebel and the North took the proper course of action of declaring war, it must be wrong for the colonists to start rebellions and the British must have done the right thing and fired upon them. The Southerners did not enslave anyone, the Africans enslaved them. The Yankees shipped and sold them to South under the Stars and Stripes. Cont>
@RebelSoldat1 Cont> If you think the War was so much about slavery, than the story about the Immortal 600 ought to help you, because nobody under those circumstances would go through such torture because they wanted to keep their already lost slaves. (If they had them in the fist place.) Over 600 captured Confederate soldiers and officers were given the chance to pledge loyalty to the United States government. All of them refused. Cont>
@RebelSoldat1 Cont> After being starved to the point of death and exposed to sub-zero temperatures for days at a time, as well as other tortures, almost 400 died. At the end of the War, the prisoners were fed well to cover what had been done to them. You can look this up on Google.
at least we agree on one thing: Muslims are bad for our health.
@RebelSoldat1 America ended the international slave trade 50 years before the Civil War, dummy. No Southern slave in 1860 had been enslaved by Africans.
My Founding Fathers didn't fight the Revolutionary War to try to preserve a "cornerstone" of slavery and white supremacism until the end of time. Yours did. That's why you hate America and support the confederacy instead. And that's why you lose, little boy. You don't believe slavery is wrong. You're sick.
@RonPaulHatesBlacks If I was racist, I'd probably prefer the blacks to be in Africa, not as slaves. The modern world has no more use for slaves anyway. I am loyal first to God, the to my family, then to my state, then to my country, and if aliens invade, (which they won't) my world. My 8X great grand uncle was Nathaniel Macon, founder of State's rights, exactly what the South was fighting for. Ah, but if the British won, they would come up with an excuse to kill colonists, much like slavery.
well JWFUSA i Say go Confederacy because the south will kick the Norths ass up and down the street because the South Contributed the most soldiers to the US military and the Southerners have 3 guns per person while the union has 1 gun to 3 people so yeah the union is screwed so your point is moot the South would win and it would have won the and Robert E. lee Freed his slaves before the war and Ulysses S Grant freed his after so choose your side wisely
RonPaul. You're completely wrong about Lincoln. Lincoln's personal diaries and his early speeches show that he was anti-slavery. He just wanted to keep the Union together and if it meant leaving slavery in the states he was willing to do it. The south succeeded because he was trying to stop the spread of slavery. Lincoln did NOT use the issue of slavery to keep europe out of the war, he used a blockade. Why don't YOU read a book!
@jwfusa You are completely wrong..when the emancipation proclamation was written it was done so to keep england out of the war..look at Lincolns proposed 13th ammendment stating that if the south would accept the 40% tarriff and not secede he wouldnt interfere with the issue of slavery..and he proposed that in march of 61..ft.sumter wasnt fired upon until april..so if it was over slavery why even fire a shot?..and just another tidbit of info..only 6% of the south owned slaves..
the only difference from then till now is that back then they had to work to have a home and food and clothes now they get that for free so they got a pretty good deal out of it.
Let byegones be byegones. Lincoln was a good but flawed man, like most everyone else. The federal government was a bit oppressive, and the Southern states were far too trigger-happy about fighting it. Abolishing slavery was a good thing. We went about it far too quickly, and that's where our race relations problems come from. Both sides can share blame.
The slideshow is cheesy and the music is a reminder of a dying era. Enjoy it in peace.
Slaves did not receive their freedom until the war was underway (explain that if it was about slavery dingleberry). You Yankees still have trouble understanding this I know, but it is what it is! Booshwa said it the way it is so deal with it.
Slavery was just the primer for the War between the States (nothing civil about it). Northern oppression of Southern products to Europe, over-lording by the North and the anti-South government were what stirred the pot long before the fact of slavery became an issue. Your beloved Grant owned slaves and Stone Wall Jackson did not believe in it. The man called Lincoln chose to invade the Southern states and that is what started the war. Slavery was his excuse.
In the end it was all about slavery dude. And as far as Lincoln is concerned. He considered what the secession of the south was unconstitutional meaning he was only invading his own country. And he didn't fire the first shot! GO UNION
@jwfusa and ummm..dude..as you say so with such intillegence...the confederacy may have fired the first shot..but look at who commited the first act of war..the blockade was already going into effect before sumter was fired upon..the south secede lawfully under constitutional law as sat down by the founding fathers..sounds like you need to read a real historical accurate book instead of the politically correct garbage you fill your head with..i back up all i say with fact...
@jwfusa There are state laws and there are federal laws. The south felt that the north was infringeing on their state laws and felt strongly enough to fight for their rights. Slavery had very little do do with the war. Time, Diplomacy and modernization, could avoided they worst war in American history.
@fastacid714 Slavery had everything to do with the war. The South proudly said so when they started it. You really shouldn't lecture us about American history when you've never studied it in your entire life. And you shouldn't lecture us about the Civil War when you've never even read the South's own Cornerstone Speech or Mississippi, Texas, Georgia, or South Carolina declarations of secession.
@RonPaulHatesBlacks Maybe I don't know my history, or Southern history and maybe I souldn't even have an opinion. But my point was that there must have been a way to avoid this tradgedy The American Civil War.Do you disagree?
@fastacid714 Of course there was a way to avoid the Civil War. The southern states had thousands of legal and reasonable options after their preferred candidate lost the election of 1860. They could have chosen any one of them and avoided the Civil War. They also could have peacefully and voluntarily abolished slavery, like every Northern state did. Instead, they chose to secede, seize federal property, and murder American soldiers to try to preserve their "cornerstone" of slavery and racism.
@RonPaulHatesBlacks Yes, but the North could have negotiated with the South, that would've helped a lot instead of sending troops and supplies to Fort Sumpter, not to mention they attacked a Confederate fort in Florida before Sumpter was bombarded. So the Yanks started the War. If the South was fighting for slavery so much, why did abolitionist European countries send so many privateers and men to suport the South, and almost declare war on the Union?
Woah there killer lincoln didnt declare slavery abolished until after the civil war started and it was only abolished in the south which he had no more control over it was just symbolic. Slavery was abolished by the thirteenth amendment after the civil war. Secession was initiated just by lincoln being elected. Just Sayin.
Just more of RPHB doing his Lincoln apology tour throughout YouTube land. He's obviously never read anymore about what he just commented on, and for only the thousandth time. Actually Lincoln was perfect...the perfect asshole, and that's why he adores him...so don't buy his better than the alternative bit. The alternative is for a "leader" to actually not wage war against his own citizens & murder them.
Speaking of WWII, Hitler like Lincoln did the very same to his people. Sic semper tryannis!
Yeah right...Lol. The Lincoln Cultist try hard to make excuses for ol' Abe who made the executive order to march troops into the Southern states to murder fellow countrymen. That's like saying RPHB isn't a racist. Clearly both are true. Just read his cornerstone comments and his declarations that all Conferderates are racists all over YouTube. Same as it ever was. Sad but true.
I have no pupose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the States where it exists. I believe I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so.
--Abraham Lincoln-1st Inaugural Address, March, 1861. The notion of slavery as being "the" cause of the Civil War came about only after the tyrant Lincoln used it as a propraganda tool in his Gettysburg Address speech in 1863 by keeping the Europeans from entering the war and supporting the South.
Your fake degrees should have informed you that no winners history is necessary. All anyone needs to do is read the South's own Cornerstone Speech and Mississippi, Texas, Georgia, and South Carolina declarations of secession. You never have, because you're a fucking idiot.
I liked the response from Blubonnet52, 'The music never owned a slave -- and yet you had to fall back to some kind of holocaust babble, of course, your only reference point for American slavery. Sure, you're free to say the Holocaust was wrong -- on all the Pro Nazi, anti holocaust videos (but you don't).
Luckily, though, I can drive 10 minutes and see a Rebel Flag displayed in a place of honor on our Statehouse grounds, where it was rightfully placed by our Legislature. Deo Vindice.
@RuPaul. Sure.... just not a thousand times. You're also allowed to say that the slaughter of 6 million blacks in Africa during the TransAtlantic slave trade was wrong too, as well as today's continued enslavement of blacks on that continent. Also, let's not forget that all men are CREATED EQUAL so EQUAL time should be given, especially considering that they're your long lost and forgotten relatives. You should be ashamed.
Awwww.....I guess I hurt der wittle fweelings. You two obviously agree that the black slaves in Africa don't deserve to be free either. Hey...you better go make your reservations so you three can have a circle jerk marathon session on the flight over. I hear the plane is "filling up" and just make sure you give Michelle the "Headsup" first. lol.
So here's ShawtyShank, the Lincoln Log (dead wood) worshippers on here discussing the suspension of habeas corpus. Wow... and the irony is their practicing it right here on youtube, and for the world to see by downing my comments. The truth hurts them just like it hurt their savior. Down with Lincoln and the ShawtyShank twins a.k.a. RPHB and OTM. Sic Semper Tyrannis!
Ronnie and his sock puppets are hard at work here trying to hide the truth. Clearly voting my comments down is a testament that he can't handle the truth so he votes that down in the process. The boy is living a big lie and will never be able to move on from these videos. Sad.
They haven't forgotten anything, unlike you two who've completely forgotten about your ancestors in Africa. You know.... they could use your help over there. Instead here you two sit like ticks on a dog trying to suck the blood from your enemies, while your distant relatives suffer from the very thing you supposedly denounce. You two numbnuts are disgraceful and should be ashamed yourselves, but no you'll just continue to embarrass yourselves and dishonor your ancestors. Sad.
"Butt" be careful over there Ronnie. I hear the tribal kingdom leaders, who deal in the sex slave market really like the ones with big mouths and who eat bonbons, donuts, and suck all day. They think you're really sweet since you're also able to to consume lots of "junk." lol.

@Ronnie. Think about it.... you could even put in a request to fly in "Air Force One" and maybe Obama would allow you the usage of a laptop, so you wouldn't miss time trolling Confederate videos. And BTW,if you're really lucky maybe you two could be new members of the "Mile High" club. I'm sure Michelle wouldn't mind. LMAO!
Its a fact that even in WW2 the Rebel flag was still being used in battle. During the ww2 the rebel flag actually rivaled those of Old Glory. At Guadalcanal a Marine fighter squadron had named itself the CONFORSOLS ( Confederate Forces of the Solomons). In Korea the 7th Marines in H Company of the Third Battalion flew a Confederate flag in battle. Many German and Japanese vets remember seing the rebel flag being flown.
to see the flag as purely racism and other such ideals is wrong. undoubtedly it is used by those who seek to advanced racist ideals but it is an important part of our history and therefor must not be ignored and forgotten.
This is one of the BEST renditions of Dixie. To Johnnyc, Lincoln said that if he could keep the union and slavery he would do it. He did not believe in the government that our founding fathers established, he did not believe in the Constitution and Bill of Rights, otherwise he would not have closed the free press or allow the military to arrest people and confiscate property without a warrant....he trampled the ideals of the founding fathers.
@RobertCeltic Lincoln didn't start the war. You did, to preserve your beloved slavery, as you proudly said in your Cornerstone Speech and declarations of secession. And no one closed the free press, suspended habeas corpus, arrested people, and confiscated property more than the confederacy, and all without holding even one election for your president. You hate Lincoln for the same reason We the People honor him---he freed the slaves and kept you from owning and raping black people today.
@RonPaulHatesBlacks Liar. You're always preaching about how Lincoln wasn't perfect by "today's standards", whatever the hell that means, but was better than the alternative. You're nothing but a FRAUD who keeps making lame excuses for the tyrant and who can't keep his lies straight.
@OtmShank02 Well, if it isn't the ole sock puppet shank who pretends to wanna defeat slavery while his ancestors in Africa are being tortured, raped and murdered. Which one of you two numbnuts is the bigger FRAUD? Your ancestors are turning over in their graves.
@OtmShank02 I don't think they "forget" that point---I don't think they ever knew it. These racists are ignorant. The vast majority of them never graduated high school, never went to college, never studied American history, and never did any research at all before deciding to slurp the slaveowners. They're dumb racists. Once people go to college and get out in the world, they quickly realize that all men really are created equal, and that slavery is wrong. Education is the antidote to racism.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@RonPaulHatesBlacks They haven't forgotten anything unlike you two who've completely forgotten about your ancestors. You know....they really could use some assistance over there. I'm sure your loverboy savior could hook you two up with some plane tickets. Are you game? Again Ronnie boy, where did you receive your Ph.D.? We all know where you received your B.S. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaah!!!!!!!
@RonPaulHatesBlacks I'm sure you'll spam my comments, vote me down, and do all that lovely youtube magic you've learned from YEARS of beating this dead horse. You're a loser, with no moral superiority over anyone, and for ALL your YEARS of hate speech -- what have you accomplished?
Suck it, buddy. Dixie is here, Southern Americans will ALWAYS fly that Rebel Flag, and I highly recommend you learn to deal with it or invest heavily in Prozac, since you're in for a lonely, bitter existence.
Last point -- I hate writing up a whole page, I never know which video you might respond to (since you carry these arguments with anyone you can, in that never ending, desperate search for attention.) You ARE aware that young Southern blacks are embracing the Confederate flag as a symbol of 'The Dirty South,' right? If you'd like, I can point you to several supportive videos.
Even black people down here are over it, what's your excuse?
@RonPaulHatesBlacks I have a, Bachelors Degree, Masters Degree and a Doctorate and I still believe in States rights and my family that fought in the War between the States did not hold to or adhere to slavery, but believed very much in States rights. History is always written by the victors and if you had an education you would now that.
@jimmymcmi If you are as educated as you say then you would know the Civil War was fought over slavery. The idea of states rights being the foudation of the Civil War came some years afterwards when a new generation of southerners agreed with the rest of the world about the wickedness of slavery. Allow me to quote Vice President of the Confederacy Alexander Stephens, "Our nation is founded on the principle truth, that the negro is unequal to the white man."
it's always nice to hear from reasonable people. thanks 4 your comment.

This song was written in 1857, 4 years before the war started. It was written by northerners and loved by northerners, such as Abe Lincoln himself, and southerners alike. Emmett, who wrote the song, was pretty taken back when the Confederate Army made it their marching song, because he never had any pro-secessionist sympathies. He even tried to change the lyrics to the song because of the Confederacy's use of it. This song was never intended to concern a "confederacy," so enjoy it as such.

We should all choose a state, like South Carolina, move there, piss of the Yankees with Confederate pride to the point they move out of the state, then when they are gone, we elect each other into state office, write a declaration of independence, secede, and form a sovereign Christian nation. Then watch the chain effect in other states. 65% of U.S. soldiers are from the South, they'll be on our side too.

Sure, you're free to say the Holocaust was wrong -- on all the Pro Nazi, anti holocaust videos (but you don't).
Luckily, though, I can drive 10 minutes and see a Rebel Flag displayed in a place of honor on our Statehouse grounds, where it was rightfully placed by our Legislature. Deo Vindice.

@RuPaul. Sure.... just not a thousand times. You're also allowed to say that the slaughter of 6 million blacks in Africa during the TransAtlantic slave trade was wrong too, as well as today's continued enslavement of blacks on that continent. Also, let's not forget that all men are CREATED EQUAL so EQUAL time should be given, especially considering that they're your long lost and forgotten relatives. You should be ashamed.

Awwww.....I guess I hurt der wittle fweelings. You two obviously agree that the black slaves in Africa don't deserve to be free either. Hey...you better go make your reservations so you three can have a circle jerk marathon session on the flight over. I hear the plane is "filling up" and just make sure you give Michelle the "Headsup" first. lol.

So here's ShawtyShank, the Lincoln Log (dead wood) worshippers on here discussing the suspension of habeas corpus. Wow... and the irony is their practicing it right here on youtube, and for the world to see by downing my comments. The truth hurts them just like it hurt their savior. Down with Lincoln and the ShawtyShank twins a.k.a. RPHB and OTM. Sic Semper Tyrannis!

Ronnie and his sock puppets are hard at work here trying to hide the truth. Clearly voting my comments down is a testament that he can't handle the truth so he votes that down in the process. The boy is living a big lie and will never be able to move on from these videos. Sad.

They haven't forgotten anything, unlike you two who've completely forgotten about your ancestors in Africa. You know.... they could use your help over there. Instead here you two sit like ticks on a dog trying to suck the blood from your enemies, while your distant relatives suffer from the very thing you supposedly denounce. You two numbnuts are disgraceful and should be ashamed yourselves, but no you'll just continue to embarrass yourselves and dishonor your ancestors. Sad.

"Butt" be careful over there Ronnie. I hear the tribal kingdom leaders, who deal in the sex slave market really like the ones with big mouths and who eat bonbons, donuts, and suck all day. They think you're really sweet since you're also able to to consume lots of "junk." lol.

@Ronnie. Think about it.... you could even put in a request to fly in "Air Force One" and maybe Obama would allow you the usage of a laptop, so you wouldn't miss time trolling Confederate videos. And BTW,if you're really lucky maybe you two could be new members of the "Mile High" club. I'm sure Michelle wouldn't mind. LMAO!

Its a fact that even in WW2 the Rebel flag was still being used in battle. During the ww2 the rebel flag actually rivaled those of Old Glory. At Guadalcanal a Marine fighter squadron had named itself the CONFORSOLS ( Confederate Forces of the Solomons). In Korea the 7th Marines in H Company of the Third Battalion flew a Confederate flag in battle. Many German and Japanese vets remember seing the rebel flag being flown.

to see the flag as purely racism and other such ideals is wrong. undoubtedly it is used by those who seek to advanced racist ideals but it is an important part of our history and therefor must not be ignored and forgotten.

This is one of the BEST renditions of Dixie. To Johnnyc, Lincoln said that if he could keep the union and slavery he would do it. He did not believe in the government that our founding fathers established, he did not believe in the Constitution and Bill of Rights, otherwise he would not have closed the free press or allow the military to arrest people and confiscate property without a warrant....he trampled the ideals of the founding fathers.

@RobertCeltic Lincoln didn't start the war. You did, to preserve your beloved slavery, as you proudly said in your Cornerstone Speech and declarations of secession. And no one closed the free press, suspended habeas corpus, arrested people, and confiscated property more than the confederacy, and all without holding even one election for your president. You hate Lincoln for the same reason We the People honor him---he freed the slaves and kept you from owning and raping black people today.

@RonPaulHatesBlacks Liar. You're always preaching about how Lincoln wasn't perfect by "today's standards", whatever the hell that means, but was better than the alternative. You're nothing but a FRAUD who keeps making lame excuses for the tyrant and who can't keep his lies straight.

@OtmShank02 Well, if it isn't the ole sock puppet shank who pretends to wanna defeat slavery while his ancestors in Africa are being tortured, raped and murdered. Which one of you two numbnuts is the bigger FRAUD? Your ancestors are turning over in their graves.
FastPonyGT 2 months ago
@OtmShank02 I don't think they "forget" that point---I don't think they ever knew it. These racists are ignorant. The vast majority of them never graduated high school, never went to college, never studied American history, and never did any research at all before deciding to slurp the slaveowners. They're dumb racists. Once people go to college and get out in the world, they quickly realize that all men really are created equal, and that slavery is wrong. Education is the antidote to racism.

Suck it, buddy. Dixie is here, Southern Americans will ALWAYS fly that Rebel Flag, and I highly recommend you learn to deal with it or invest heavily in Prozac, since you're in for a lonely, bitter existence.

Last point -- I hate writing up a whole page, I never know which video you might respond to (since you carry these arguments with anyone you can, in that never ending, desperate search for attention.) You ARE aware that young Southern blacks are embracing the Confederate flag as a symbol of 'The Dirty South,' right? If you'd like, I can point you to several supportive videos.
Even black people down here are over it, what's your excuse?

@RonPaulHatesBlacks I have a, Bachelors Degree, Masters Degree and a Doctorate and I still believe in States rights and my family that fought in the War between the States did not hold to or adhere to slavery, but believed very much in States rights. History is always written by the victors and if you had an education you would now that.

@jimmymcmi If you are as educated as you say then you would know the Civil War was fought over slavery. The idea of states rights being the foudation of the Civil War came some years afterwards when a new generation of southerners agreed with the rest of the world about the wickedness of slavery. Allow me to quote Vice President of the Confederacy Alexander Stephens, "Our nation is founded on the principle truth, that the negro is unequal to the white man."
