Dixie/ The Bonnie Blue Flag

[knuffy101]

GREAT!!!

[dennisholly73]

Ever notice how the South had the best Civil War music?

[sky12066sed3]

Progress the flag of Dixie [X]

[LikeWiseLikeYou]

God bless the Confederacy -- the most dignified people to ever exist. !!!

[t43562]

Since those slaves didn't get the vote or any particular rights until much later on, one can only assume that the anti-slavery motive for the North is a rather huge heap of bullshit as are the noble motives for Iraq and so on. Self interest is understandable and life is much simpler if people don't try to pretend that it isn't the primary reason for some action. What would happen now if Texas tried to cecede? Would some other noble reason have to be found for thumping it?

[shiptech2k9]

I just love this! Mind if i download the music?

[SpaceCowboy641]

@shiptech2k9 If you can, do it !!!

[SHKarlson]

And now each son of Dixieland/Must learn to love his Uncle Sam ...

[Dbulldawgsfootball]

@SHKarlson get your yankee crap out of here long live dixie !

[SHKarlson]

@Dbulldawgsfootball Let's see, if I work through your semi-literate signature I deduce that you might be an enthusiast of the University of Georgia football team, from America's worst university. If that's the best Dixie has to offer in rebuttal, perhaps it's because you're still howling after five of my great grand-uncles participated in Sherman's March, and burned the houses and killed the pigs and freed the slaves. Your side lost. Deal with it.

[Dbulldawgsfootball]

@SHKarlson actually its my high-school but nice try. you obviously don't know your history if you think the war was fought over "freeing the slaves". All the south was doing was fighting its second revolutionary war and unfortunately we live in an extremely liberal America now because the south lost and were probably screwed had the south won we would have avoid many issues that face America today. and the union didnt whoop the confederacy as your implying the south was undefeated tillgettysburg

[SHKarlson]

@Dbulldawgsfootball Yes, that string of rebel victories commencing in Belmont and proceeding through Ft. Henry and Ft. Donelson and Shiloh and Corinth and Raymond and Jackson and Champion Hill to lure Grant and Sherman into a trap at Vicksburg was impressive in its execution.

[UnionStatesHeritage]

@Dbulldawgsfootball "the South fought on account of the thing we quarreled with the North about. I never heard of any other cause for quarrel, than slavery"...Col. John Singleton Mosby...CSA

By 1860, the Southern interests had already fought two wars to secure slave rights...the Mexican War, and the Border War with the citizens of Kansas Territory. A war fought by the South to force a slave constitution on the citizens of KS.

Lee ran like a bitch outta my home Commonwealth...

[UnionStatesHeritage]

@Dbulldawgsfootball ...an over-confident, over-dressed, and overstuffed Virginia aristocrat leading an army of peasant conscripts, against the citizens of a free labor, society...got his ass kicked, but good. 

Unfortunately, the ANV managed to leave the state with free Blacks they seized while occupying the Commonwealth...typical slaving scum.

[Dbulldawgsfootball]

@SHKarlson the war may have had a different turn out if the south would have done a couple things differently in Gettysburg and if they had you'd take of your hat and mind the stars and bars !

@PhilipineMan you are right it sounds extremely like the fallout 3 radio and new vegas too

[9suizo]

U.S.A. soll untergehen !

Es lebe C.S.A !

[SHKarlson]

@9suizo The Prussian military attache supposedly advised Bismarck, after seeing Sherman's army on review in Washington, not to tangle with the United States.  Probably good advice, as the Germans have a tradition, dating back to Christmas Eve of 1776, of surrendering to the United States.

[SpaceCowboy641]

@SHKarlson Hm, sometimes have even Germans good traditions ...

[9suizo]

U.S.A. soll untergehen !

Es lebe C.S.A !

[Marmocet]

My friends in England heard this and said they thought it would have been the world's most upbeat sounding national anthem

[jooshapotamus]

look up SCB demo.wmv it blows this version away listen to the whole thing because the it starts the song in the middle. it just so happens to be my uncles band

[ERROLCUSTERFLYNN4EVR]

perfect!

[theskiesbelowme]

Onward boys

[Thaulopi]

Stonewall, Beauregard, Amistead, Johnston, Hood, Bragg, Stuart, Longstreet, Lee...hearing and writing these names makes my humble heart palpitate with reverence. They are only bested by one man, whom I have dedicated my life: Gen. Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain. Salute!

[webfulcrum]

This is one of the most stirring arrangements I've heard. Does anyone know where I might find a recording?

[ao7765]

@webfulcrum this arrangement was in ken burns's civil war, and is on the soundtrack

[webfulcrum]

@ao7765 Thanks.

[Rubystars0000]

When northern treachery attempts our rights to mar, we hoist on high the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star!

[Mctaggart6412]

@Rubystars0000 Hoorah, Hoorah, For southern rights, Hoorah

[AssualtgruppeVeir]

God Bless the Confederacy! Thier heritage will not be forgotten.

[fscofi]

Everyone should listen to the Music from the Civil War by Ken Burns. I would know this music as played. I listened to the very same when it first came out on tape and then CD. Great stuff.

[trapezemusic]

Excellent rendition of two spirited songs. This brass group is not a large one, probably a quintet. All professionals, to be sure.

[toonmag50]

God Save the Queen and the Confederacy

[englandrugby22]

cool song imagined if the rebels won things would be sketchy

[bubi1954]

The South will rise again !

Greetings from Bavaria (somehow German Dixieland..) !

[Knight192]

comment on top u dern secesh

[reb198]

our national anthem never fails to bring a tear to my eye and a lump in my throat the fight our ancestors fought was just and true it continues today and will not stop till we are independent . Deo Vindice!!

[zthetha]

the ease with which a cheesy song can induce men to slaughter their bothers highlights a serious design flaw in the human genetic code. It should read:'music makes me feel a good man: killing makes me feel a bad man' - not 'music makes me feel a good man while I'm killing bad men'.

[LordTyrus00]

@zthetha You kinda made me stop and think there. I couldn't agree more.

[reb198]

all for the dear old flag deo vindice

[southernheritage22]

this is the most beautiful music i have ever heard. deo vindice

[TheTremo99]

Ah thank you! I was looking all over for this song done by a brass band.

[bluenosedviking]

fredofasgarnia - you are absolutely right - that song is the Bonnie Blue Flag

[carey357]

That ain't the Bonnie Blue! That's the Battle Flag!

[fredofasgarnia]

You may wish to correct me if im wrong,but isnt the song from 0:40 - 1:13 the bonnie blue flag?

[fredofasgarnia]

"And heres to our confederacy strong we are and brave,like patriots of old we`ll fight our heritage to save!And rather than submit to shame to die we would prefer!So cheer for the Bonnie blue flag that bares a single star!"

I love that verse.Deo vindice from Great Britain.

[CamoNick561]

when will the south rise?

[Oberst1488]

@CamoNick561 again

[billygreygoat]

When it tries to break away again. It will be the best for both parts of the nation...

[biancademonet]

@billygreygoat if they take the Dommies and rascists, maybe, they're welcome to the rascists & fundies...we "damnyankees" do not want them...

[HogRebel]

@biancademonet Go read the book "Politically Incorrect Guide To The Civil War". Might surprise ya, some of the things you'd learn! And as far as "racists" go, (overused term) the War wasn't to preserve slavery, there were blacks that fought for the South, Mary Todd's (Lincoln's wife) were slaveholders, and one UNION soldier was note as saying, "I'd rather die and let moss grow over my back than to fight for a..." (racial expletive).

[PaulieRomanov]

DEO VINDICE!

[randallscott25]

Conquer Peace for Dixie

[The0d0r1c]

Don't really care about the USA, and less about it's southern parts, but this is bloody nice music. Very uplifting.

[Japanologe]

God bless the South!

[HogRebel]

@Japanologe YEE-HAW! GIT 'R DONE! Heritage, people, NOT HATE!!!! >; )

[drfeelgood2810]

If you came onto youtube with no prior knowledge of any aspect of the Civil War, and searched first "Confederate music", and "Union music", you might be inclined to conclude that the war began after the south seceded in order to escape the lacklustre musical achievements of the north, and that the entire affair turned on the north's desire to annex the musically gifted half of the country, in order to get their hands on their sweet tunes.

[JackSVL]

When you start reading your history you'll learn that the Civil War began in the mid 1850's with the border wars between Missouri and Kansas over slavery. More Civil War battles were fought in Missouri than any state except Virginia.

Save your Dixie cups for the South shall rise again!

[drfeelgood2810]

Save your dixie cups. Heh. I like that.

[TrumpetHero11]

and Tennessee

[drfeelgood2810]

This is from the soundtrack to Ken Burns' "The Civil War".

[Danish4ever77]

Right you are. Love Ken Burns' tv show and this version of the Bonnie Blue Flag...

Deo Vindice

[dreiband]

Very, very nicely done.

Amazingly sweet bugeling.

Deo Vindice.

[TrumpetHero11]

why does the south think they're going to secede again? better asked, WHY do you want to secede again?

[CattleRanche]

to escape brutal tyrannical, oppressive federal government. same reason we did 140 yrs ago.

[3rdconfederate]

CattleRanche--people in all states are getting pissed at the Federal Gov't. It bugs me, but it is also funny how the media tries to ignore the fact that there are large protests going on against most of Obama been Fraudin's policies. If we can all stay involved, maybe we can start voting some of the bastards out in 2010. It would be pure joy not to see Pelosi's mug as the Speaker of the House.

[CattleRanche]

yeah she makes me nausious. life as we know it in this country will be over if we don't get them out.

[TrumpetHero11]

what version of dixie is this? i tryed to look it up on youtube but couldnt find it.

[reb198]

wow what a song makes the hairs on my neck stand on end southern pride not southern hate we will be a country again sleep well you southern heroes you have done your best keep flying the flag boys deo vindice.

[Danish4ever77]

Heritage not hate.

DEO VINDICE!

[Elsoldador]

Gos bless the South and its brave soldiers

[southparkqqqqq]

sounds good arealarson2 lol.

[HogRebel]

YEE-HAW! GIT 'R DONE! Awesome video! It's heritage, not HATE, Baby! >; )

[arealarson2]

Wish i was in the land of cotton where all the girls they wear nuttin'.

[AEcowboy5]

God bless the Confederacy, and all our Confederate boys.

[wargod2009]

God bless the boys of the Confederacy.

[Phabaitos]

@wargod2009

Hell, I'm from the North and I give the Confederates credit. True men who fought for they believed in...if we had their spirit, we wouldn't be tolerating the nonsense we see today.

[DrAggie58]

@wargod2009 hurrah for dixie and the bonnie blue flag

[kelloggcerealxoxo]

the war of northern aggression

[novifootballdude]

i'm from michigan. I visited stone mountain in georgia for the first time last year and that was the first time i heard the northern aggresion. its very interesteing to me. Most of my family was fighting for the south anyways and in fact i am related to Stonewall Jackson. Love this song

[Souw92]

Really? You're related to Stonewall Jackson? Whew, Michigan is northern states, isn't it? How could most of your family fought for the south?

[novifootballdude]

yes i have a family tree book that he had signed. my mother has the engagement ring he gave to his wife. i live in michigan now but a good chunk were from virginia. we have been here since the 1600's so ive had family fight on both sides fo every conflict here in the states

[slickkyle2]

how can you call it the war of northern aggression when it was the south that initiated the war by attacking fort sumter? Also i don't understand why the south continues to banter on about the civil war. it happened over 150 years ago!

awesome song though. very catchy

[Germanator93]

Fort Sumter was attacked by the C.S.A.

[RebelofVirginia]

@Germanator93

HAHA I think not.

[Germanator93]

@RebelofVirginia Sorry but you're wrong. Lokk it up in the hhistory books.

[RebelofVirginia]

@Germanator93

The history books were written by the government, the winners. I believe the CSA records more then the federalist ones. The Northerners started the bloody war.

[Germanator93]

@RebelofVirginia Sorry, but that says all.

[RebelofVirginia]

@Germanator93

Hah, and that is comming from a Non-American? GLORIOUS! >Ya Kraut фриц

[shortjockbalt]

I am very happy to hear so many people echoing the old cry of "Deo Vindice!" Thank you, good Southern friends, and our Allies.

[bullyboy1863]

good job.

[HogRebel]

Well-done video! Thanks for posting it! : )

[ITILII]

Dixie, written by a Northerner...

[AmersfoortTristan]

Compare a union to a marriage. The U.S.A more behaved like an abusive husband towards his wife that he had lured in under the guise of an "equal marriage". In 1861 the wife (herself guilty of perhaps some misdemeanors) decided to escape this abusive marriage and applied for divorce. Then her husband came along and beat her up even worse- forcing her to stay with him.

I think that it should be fair to pull the plug out of this marriage- it stopped being one a long time ago.

[CLARecruiter]

Yes exactly, the thing is when someone talks of the 1860's Its like the UNion Becomes Saints incapplebable of sinning

and our single sin turns us into Demons, even though the union was guilty of the same sin a the same time.

"every people throughout the course of history were slave and owned slaves, none are exceptions and none are special"

[dennykdoe]

"Compare a union to a marriage." Let's not, because it isn't. Let's compare it to a compact, and you can see the parties to that from teh first three words of the Constitution. If a majority of THEM decided to dissolve, then that would have been it. Otherwise, the "wife" i.e, the allegedly aggrieved people--could have moved away.

But-- what were the abusive acts? It seems to me the South got it's way on every important moment--Mo.Comp. , Dred Scott.

[tealduck32]

The South didn't get it's way on the tariff(money) issues.

[BonnieBlueFlag1314]

Even so, every people have the right to self determination. If any government should know that, it should certainly be the government of the United States!

[dennykdoe]

A number of problems here: the "people" who claim self determination, counted by vote: does that include the slaves? I'd suspect few would have voted for secesion. Or women? South C., the first state to secede, was then the least democraic of all states--francise severely restricted. Admittedly, theres room to argue--but if secession were as easy as you hold, the Constitution and the Union it establhed is meaningless--as Sherman said, the US would beliek Mexico--constant chaos.

[paddyandy]

look at the usa now,For the first time a black president.

talk about a chance in history.

God blees the USA and Barack Obama.

[CLARecruiter]

DAMN the USA

[bricksgalore757]

I cant believe that after nearly 200 years there is still so much rivalry over the US civil war it is like us europeans begruging the Napolionic war

Like the tune though

[valois5]

True, it seems that there is no love lost beteween the North and the South.

But they've kept the peace during the 20th century (unlike some European countries (well...most European countries actually ^^).

My country (Sweden), didn't participate in the World Wars, but that had more to do with our government than anything else.

The common Swedish citizen is just as bloodthirsty as the next guy, I'm afraid :(

[shilelea]

because germany wouldnt invade you since every swede possessed a gun and a will to protect sweden.

[CLARecruiter]

well thats one things we argue Southrons say it wasnt a Civil-War, Becuase we are a Seperate people, with our own dialect culture, and beliefs, Government,and economy(We prefer Agriculture) The Yankees say it was becuase we never really left the union, we never were a country,and Believe more in Industry

[dennykdoe]

Just between us: there isn't. 99.9% of Americans would read the comments on this thing, particularly from the southern side and simply shake their heads. A few people keep picking at it, but...as you might have noticed from this year's Presidential election.

[Sergi762]

DEO VINDICE!!

if u don't like this music you can go take a crap in the shower and shove it down the drain

Great video. It sure makes my heart glad.
