@WhatTheHell396 you are so right i have been the only one that really knows that but now you and i are maby the only people who gets this and yes i am a civil war history buff
The latest rebels flew planes on 9/11 those who oppose the union support bin laden. so get real and take a dump at arlington if you realy believe what you're saying.
OK. Let me get this straight. According to you every lawyer is wrong who studies the Constitution? Because I know for a fact they would say the same thing, sir. And you know nothing of the Civil War if you insist on arguing about it. 7% of the Southern states owned slaves, the rest were poor farmers who could NOT afford them. And the States did have the right to secede. Maryland even had the right, because it fought over the states rights issue.
The whole war was over slavery. Don't kid yourself. The South was drowning under the weight of the slaves already held there. There was more money to be made by selling slaves to people in the new Western states. The North opposed the idea of new states being slave states. As a result, the South thought it could do as it pleased. They learned that they cannot. Slavery was the crux of the war. Read the Articles of Secession, by the seceeding states. They all say slavery was the main issue.
By the South they where fight for states rights. And actully, if you ask one of the reinactors about what it was fought over they will tell you the same theing.
I find it funny how you tell me to grow up. Especially when you're the one arguing with someone who's more than likely half your age. And I know I'm not a lawyer. But I have members of my family that are. Doubt it if you want, as I know you probably will. And by the way, secession is illegal only if ignorant people say so. Twice, Americans had the right to secede. But you would know that wouldn't you? One failed one didn't. Go back to England if you don't like secession because we did it once.
The answer regarding secession was given on April 13, 1865, when Lee surrendered the Southern forces to General U. S. Grant.
Since it is not I, but YOU who wants out of our country; by all means, and at your earliest opportunity, please leave.
We, Americans do not want or need sunshine patriots who whine and cry at every turn. Since you don't like the USA, please, do the country a favor: GET THE FUCK OUT, AND DON'T COME BACK!
I find it funny because I never once said I hated the United States. Please do not put words in my mouth. As for the issue at hand, sir. I'm merely stating facts when I say the Federal Government was doing the same thing England did when we first seceded! Taxes without consent of the population. Tyrannical overuse of governmental power. This why we created democracy as our government. Not a republic. And I'm joining the Military anyway, so sir, all I want, and all they wanted was to have freedom
You know nothing. The South was dying under the crushing weight of the slaves. The real money was in selling them. THe South wanted to sell them to the new Western states. THat's what the North opposed. So, the South had a tantrum and tried to get out of it's constitutional pact by destroying the Union. THAT is what the war was primarily about. It nothing to do with taxation without representation. Since your joining the Union's military, that already makes you a traitor.
"The South was dying under the crushing weight of the slaves," funny... last time I check the slaves ran the plantations that kept the South alive... and if the money was in selling, why did the Confederate Constitution outlaw the International Slave trade? And they did not want to destroy the Union... they wanted to leave it... there is a big difference... Davis had a policy of you do what you do and let us do what we do... there was no intention of destroying the Union....
@lonewolf8854 Not quite sure why that guy said that or where he got his "facts" from but what a load of crap. The South never attacked what was considered the North they were actually invaded by the North and they defended what they thought was theirs. If he looked up facts Slaves played a huge role in the south for certain victories. They joined up and formed their own regiments because they felt that they were being invaded also. Sherman was burning their heritage away as well.
@markhinr Yes I know that. South Carolina had succeeded from the Union so they were defending what they considered theirs. They gave them time to vacate the premises before they opened fire. The Union Army did not send the ships in time and Beauregard gave the order to fire.
@jesusboii77 The Federal troops at Fort Sumter were trying to prevent South Carolina from succeeding . . . but I can also understand your point of view that the Confederate forces were defending what they considered to be their state. It's just a matter of point of view, which of course differs depending upon which state you live in. I'm in Wisconsin so it would be disrespectful to argue that your view is wrong. Maybe we can agree that it's okay to disagree?
You're a funny, funny, little man. Yes, by all means, go ahead and try to secede. By law,you'll have to to pay off every debt to the Federal gov't, first. And that, you are unable to do.
Yes, sir, I do know of Constitutional Law knowledge, you do not. To apply, infinitive case, to ask for employment, acceptance, etc., as to a job, club, etc. And for your information it is NOT your country, unless you purchased it with your nonexistant millions of dollars. And when they submitted their application for statehood, it was evident that they could withdraw if their government were to become destructive to the ends of its people.
And, sir, I was born in Montana, but I digress. The Constitution even says if the government were destructive to its ends, the people had the right to 1.) alter it 2.) abolish it and 3.) to remove themselves from said government.
Hey -- The Civil War is over. I've got a great great grandfather whose side lost and a great great granfather whose side won. Time for reconciliation and sitting down to play some of this fine music together !

@FeralReason No it's not that time. The South has a right to be independent..I don't care if 150 years have passed. The right to self governence is natural right and the U.S denys that right to the southland. You want to heal the wounds? Have the U.S offer a chance for all states to secede, and let the people choose. Util, then no good faith has been displayed by the north.

Some books to begin an education are: Forgotten Confederates(Black Confederates) War For What? A Southside View of Slavery The Prostrate State A City Laid Waste Dixie After the War Was Jefferson Davis Right? The Real Lincoln War Crimes Against Southern Civilians The Slave Narratives Many of these books are from the period & are more accurate than the ones your school gave you. For those who recommend education but are only famaliar with the publik skool version...try these.
Yeah and guess what, Lincoln wanted the blacks sent BACK to Africa and the North was the one selling the slaves to the South. Blacks were mistreated by both sides, so get your facts straight.
@Truthseekerfinder fuck you we let some of the slaves go when the war first took place and we were nice to the slave yeah some people may have treated them bad but thats some we were nice to the slaves watch GETTISBURG or GODs and GENERALs they are all based on a true story so watch thoes movies and then see what you have to say about the slaves or the war asshole
You speak with a fool's tongue. Go to school. Get a real education. Try taking some American History courses while you're at it, because the ignorance you are so proud to display today will look even more foolish to you, once you've actually studied.
You do not possess the intellectual firepower to bandy wits with me.
I'm from the south and I can spell ok, or so I think. I guess you're the judge of that. Personally, my experience has been that southerners are just as learned as northerners. For instance, my grandpa was from Illinois, and nobody in his family ever went to college. They were also incredibly conceited. My mom is from the south and her family has been the exact opposite for centuries. I admire honest "hicks", south and north, a hundred times more than the Yankee capitalists who mislead them!
I admire honest people, hicks or Harvard professors. Makes no difference. If one is truly honest, especially with oneself, you cannot abide by slavery, in any form.
That slavery in any form--does that include the wage-slaves who were working in the Northern factories? Or the 6000 Chinese men who were imported to work on the railroads?
A "wage slave" was not legal property. Nor were the Chinese, Germans, or Irish. THey may have been slaves of their jobs, but they did not have masters who owned their bodies, with a title/deed to prove it. None of those people were "bound" to their jobs by law.
Oh, that makes it so much better. I don't think the quality of life was any better for the people who weren't legal property. Somebody who owns something usually has an interest in taking care of it as opposed to someone merely "using" something. Just ask someone who has rented a car or someone who owns rental property.
Oh yes 7 year olds working in factories in Boston 16 hours a day 7 days a week is a true testament to Northern moral principals. Also if slavery was the real issue why did the emancipation proclamation only free slaves in the South? Hmmmm. The winners always get to write history. Put that on your Yankee porcine metaphor and make ham out of it.
Try reading the southern states' articles of cessation. Every single one of them cites slavery as a prime reason for their treasonous, traitorous, illegal cessation.
I doubt you have the capacity to process and understand what they mean, but you should read them, nonetheless, to help keep you from coming off as such an uneducated moron.
If a marriage can be dissolved (the most important union) so can the national union of states be dissolved. Nothing in the U.S. Constitution prevents secession by a member state.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
The U.S. Constitution does not prohibit secession !!
Secession is a right retained by the states by the 10th amendment in the Bill of Rights. If you still think it prohibites secession please provide the specific article & section.
I have read the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. The Declaration of Independence specifically says the governed have the right to change the government; like the colonies left England. I can't find any discussion on the topic in the Constitution and would like to know which article and paragraph you read as disallowing a state from leaving the union.
Sir, I will assume that you are speaking of a "State" of the United States. If a State has left the Union...it is no longer a State and can enter into anything that it wishes. Your topic does not cover Secession, it coveres "Laws" of the Union. End of discussion.
Cute attempt at twisting logic. As a "state", it cannot enter into a confederacy in the first place, therefore, it cannot secede. THat language, and all it portends, was ratified by the states that seditiously broke the law and defied the rest of the country.
And, nice attempt at loser logic by proclaiming the discussion ended, without regarding a response. A sophomoric tactic, at best.
I guess "language" should apply to 13 colonies as well? Or other former members of the British or French colonial empires? Or the former Soviet Republics?
Wrong. All the Southern states owed billions of dollars to the Federal gov't at the time of secession. To even attempt to secede without payment of outstanding debt was and is illegal.
Frankly, I wished they'd have paid up and left. The North didn't want any more to do with the South's reliance on and fondness for slavery.
Slavery was a blight on this country, perpetuated by the South's insistence on admitting new states as "slave states".
Very cute. But, wrong, as usual for you "deo vindice" idiots.
A "state" is IN the Union. Show me the legal proof that a "stste", that has ratified the US Constitution, can summarily leave when the notion arrises.
You cannot show me any proof, because it doesn't exist.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
The Constitution is a contract between the states and the federal government. If that contract is broken they have the right to secede. Show me where in The Constitution that a state is bound forever to a broken and tyrannical federal government? You can't.....moron.
Your opiniion that the government is, or was "broken", or "tyrannical" is simply an opinion, not fact.
And speaking of contracts, how dare the South attempt to secede when it owed billions of borrowed dollars to the federal government. That's defaulting on a loan and is illegal, MORON.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Whether it's an opinion or not, matters not. If enough people feel that way it could be a problem, not that it matters now. The North East is full of pansies, girly men, and parasites.
I could care less about the defaulting on loans. People and governments default all the time......you don't see an invasion, war, and imposing your military will on the defaultee, do you, MORON?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Actually, sir, you are the idiot. A state had to APPLY for statehood, which was looked at by the government, then chosen to be in the Union or not depending on population. So if you want to show off your ignorance once more, reply to this comment. Have a good day.
Hey! that's true! I read and old news paper of that era from new york that Stated to use Irish labor to mend roofs because if a neck is to be broken. It was cheaper it use the Irish instead of a slave (invesment). The truth is some times sad.
Maybe it's been pointed out already, but it uses the false lyrics: "Fighting for our property we gained by honest toil." The original lyrics used during the war were "Fighting for our liberty, through famine, war and toil." The change was part of a post-war historical revisionism.
Reenacting would be cool if the folks taking part weren't so fat and old. It kind of kills the believability. And it's an expensive hobby. Which, I guess, explains why it's so full of old people.
Excellent video! Please come to my channel and click on my Civil War Video Playlist! I have done videos at Jackson's shrine and the location of the shooting in Chancellorsville!
Bonnie Blue Flag was actually written by an Irish actor touring the South, who was impressed the show of Southern force against tyranny. It is set to the tune of an old Irish song called "The Jaunting Car".
The author, Harry McCarthy, later recanted his southern sympathies, became pro-Union and moved to Philadelphia. As a result the song lost popularity in the south.
Ive always kinda wanted to see a civil war reenactment. I had two great great Grandfathers who fought on the side of the Union with the 1st Minnesota Volunteer Infantry. They both saw combat and one of them was wounded fighting in Gettysburg.
I do agree with you, that blacks have to help themselves, but you always have to ask yourself to which extent this is possible. I also wanted to say, that I really get angry if I read comments like "fuck you racist souherners", northern people can be so arrogant and judge so easily abot things which they know nothing of. And tey should lok at their own problems first. Being black in philly or latino in LA isn't funny either.
I'm sorry AS, but I cannot agree. I work as a high school teacher (at a public school) which is a profession many blacks in greater new orleans chose, but not because they are so fond of teaching, but because they don't get any good jobs athough they are college graduates. Many clever blacks from here migrate to the west, and many become teachers. These disappointed people now tell their black students that they won't get a good job anyways so why try?
I wondered what the English thought, and imagined it was something along the lines of,"Haven't even been a country a lousy 100 years and they're already squabbling like children." But I found a library book "Europe Looks at the American Civil War" with comments by notable contemporary people, and it wasn't anything like that. In my history classes, no one laughed about the Houses of York and Lancaster or Cromwell.
the englsih wanted to get into the war and help the south but the north was anti-slavery which kept england and europe out because they were anti-slavery also
Not all of us are liberal up here im so conservitive i had to leave the republican party,(independant) couldn't see the differance between either side! Help us patriots trapped behind enemy lines! u may have noticed alot of us fleeing the north(be careful some of them are liberal spy's) just dont let them try an change your way of life whoopem into shape or sendem back! it might be too lates for us up here, but for Gods sake save yourselves!
Good video. I love the performance of the singer of "Bonnie Blue Flag". If you've got any other Civil War era music, I'd like to know where I can find it and download it.
The United States is OUR country. It is OUR responsibility to make it our FIRST PRIORITY. If you are willing to hurt our country for the benifit of another and its own then you belong with them. You are born with the duty, with an obligation to serve and protect the country that has born you, provided for you, and sheltered you, those that came before you, and those that will come after you.
Our Laws are still our Laws, our Nation is still our Nation. Their illegal invasion and occupation is just as immoral today as it was then. Kick out the Federal Mafia and reclaim our White Nation!
There's no need for racism. Such claimance only proves the Yankees, scalawags, carpetbaggers, and the rest of the world right: that we are a racist people and our flag is an agent of evil. Don't play into their hands. The South is not a racist place, and neither is its flag!
nicely said AS, but untrue. I'm white myself and live in suburban new orleans. Our town has about 30% blacks, so how come not a single one of them works in the city hall, for the fire brigade or police? How whites call blacks 'nigger'? How come white people in my town have returned to their beautiful houses while black people still live in trailers because katrina destroyed their homes 2(!) years ago? If that is not racism.. The south is a racist place, but we are working to change that.
Your observations are true, but lack analysis. Many Blacks are lazy and arrogant. Many (not all) do not aspire to do great things. A vast majority are satisfied with jobs at fast-food resturaurnts and place no importance on an education or more esteemed jobs. When a disaster hits, they want the people who have good jobs (coincidentally Whites) to hand everything to them, and if they don't get it, Whites are automatically labeled: RACIST.
In Jackson, Mississippi, almost 100% of the Black population runs the resturaunts and other places on the same level. They are arrogant and haughty. I had a friend that stood in one of them for almost five minutes and the Black staff never so much as asked if they could help him. And that's just one example. Such behavior discourages visitors. As such, the city is losing its tax base as resturaunts shut down for lack of customers.
These are not racist statements. They are factual statements. I myself have several Black friends that I would die for. I would never dream of hating a man just because he was Black, and there are many like me. Not all Blacks are this way, but most of the Southern Black race is. A convenient way to escape this reality, is to slap someone like myself with racism.
Look at the situation and you will see it too. The problem is, White people can't help with the problem. Since it's a "racist" issue, Blacks must help themselves.
Can I use a few of these clips in a video I'm making? I'll give you credit and message you the link when I upload it!:)

I'm from the south and I can spell ok, or so I think. I guess you're the judge of that. Personally, my experience has been that southerners are just as learned as northerners. For instance, my grandpa was from Illinois, and nobody in his family ever went to college. They were also incredibly conceited. My mom is from the south and her family has been the exact opposite for centuries. I admire honest "hicks", south and north, a hundred times more than the Yankee capitalists who mislead them!

I admire honest people, hicks or Harvard professors. Makes no difference. If one is truly honest, especially with oneself, you cannot abide by slavery, in any form.
highlander1745 3 years ago 4
That slavery in any form--does that include the wage-slaves who were working in the Northern factories? Or the 6000 Chinese men who were imported to work on the railroads?
3rdconfederate 3 years ago
A "wage slave" was not legal property. Nor were the Chinese, Germans, or Irish. THey may have been slaves of their jobs, but they did not have masters who owned their bodies, with a title/deed to prove it. None of those people were "bound" to their jobs by law.
The African slaves were.
highlander1745 3 years ago 3
Oh, that makes it so much better. I don't think the quality of life was any better for the people who weren't legal property. Somebody who owns something usually has an interest in taking care of it as opposed to someone merely "using" something. Just ask someone who has rented a car or someone who owns rental property.

Oh yes 7 year olds working in factories in Boston 16 hours a day 7 days a week is a true testament to Northern moral principals. Also if slavery was the real issue why did the emancipation proclamation only free slaves in the South? Hmmmm. The winners always get to write history. Put that on your Yankee porcine metaphor and make ham out of it.
Zardoz215 3 years ago
Try reading the southern states' articles of cessation. Every single one of them cites slavery as a prime reason for their treasonous, traitorous, illegal cessation.
I doubt you have the capacity to process and understand what they mean, but you should read them, nonetheless, to help keep you from coming off as such an uneducated moron.

If a marriage can be dissolved (the most important union) so can the national union of states be dissolved. Nothing in the U.S. Constitution prevents secession by a member state.

The U.S. Constitution does not prohibit secession !!
Secession is a right retained by the states by the 10th amendment in the Bill of Rights. If you still think it prohibites secession please provide the specific article & section.
I think you'll find that it isn't there.

I have read the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. The Declaration of Independence specifically says the governed have the right to change the government; like the colonies left England. I can't find any discussion on the topic in the Constitution and would like to know which article and paragraph you read as disallowing a state from leaving the union.
gn75kahs 3 years ago
Well, I gave you enough time. Apparently you can't find it.
Article I, Sectio 10 states, "No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation"
End of discussion.
patsaretherealchumps 2 years ago 3
Sir, I will assume that you are speaking of a "State" of the United States. If a State has left the Union...it is no longer a State and can enter into anything that it wishes. Your topic does not cover Secession, it coveres "Laws" of the Union. End of discussion.
meetman3 2 years ago
Cute attempt at twisting logic. As a "state", it cannot enter into a confederacy in the first place, therefore, it cannot secede. THat language, and all it portends, was ratified by the states that seditiously broke the law and defied the rest of the country.
And, nice attempt at loser logic by proclaiming the discussion ended, without regarding a response. A sophomoric tactic, at best.
patsaretherealchumps 2 years ago
I guess "language" should apply to 13 colonies as well? Or other former members of the British or French colonial empires? Or the former Soviet Republics?

southernheritage22 2 years ago
Wrong. All the Southern states owed billions of dollars to the Federal gov't at the time of secession. To even attempt to secede without payment of outstanding debt was and is illegal.
Frankly, I wished they'd have paid up and left. The North didn't want any more to do with the South's reliance on and fondness for slavery.
Slavery was a blight on this country, perpetuated by the South's insistence on admitting new states as "slave states".
Slavery was wrong. Period.
Truthseekerfinder 2 years ago 3
Very cute. But, wrong, as usual for you "deo vindice" idiots.
A "state" is IN the Union. Show me the legal proof that a "stste", that has ratified the US Constitution, can summarily leave when the notion arrises.
You cannot show me any proof, because it doesn't exist.

The Constitution is a contract between the states and the federal government. If that contract is broken they have the right to secede. Show me where in The Constitution that a state is bound forever to a broken and tyrannical federal government? You can't.....moron.

Your opiniion that the government is, or was "broken", or "tyrannical" is simply an opinion, not fact.
And speaking of contracts, how dare the South attempt to secede when it owed billions of borrowed dollars to the federal government. That's defaulting on a loan and is illegal, MORON.

Whether it's an opinion or not, matters not. If enough people feel that way it could be a problem, not that it matters now. The North East is full of pansies, girly men, and parasites.
I could care less about the defaulting on loans. People and governments default all the time......you don't see an invasion, war, and imposing your military will on the defaultee, do you, MORON?

Actually, sir, you are the idiot. A state had to APPLY for statehood, which was looked at by the government, then chosen to be in the Union or not depending on population. So if you want to show off your ignorance once more, reply to this comment. Have a good day.

You, Fool, proved my point. All states had to apply, be approved, and ratify the US Constitution, thusly, making them legal entities of the USA.

Maybe it's been pointed out already, but it uses the false lyrics: "Fighting for our property we gained by honest toil." The original lyrics used during the war were "Fighting for our liberty, through famine, war and toil." The change was part of a post-war historical revisionism.

Bonnie Blue Flag was actually written by an Irish actor touring the South, who was impressed the show of Southern force against tyranny. It is set to the tune of an old Irish song called "The Jaunting Car".

The author, Harry McCarthy, later recanted his southern sympathies, became pro-Union and moved to Philadelphia. As a result the song lost popularity in the south.

I do agree with you, that blacks have to help themselves, but you always have to ask yourself to which extent this is possible. I also wanted to say, that I really get angry if I read comments like "fuck you racist souherners", northern people can be so arrogant and judge so easily abot things which they know nothing of. And tey should lok at their own problems first. Being black in philly or latino in LA isn't funny either.

I'm sorry AS, but I cannot agree. I work as a high school teacher (at a public school) which is a profession many blacks in greater new orleans chose, but not because they are so fond of teaching, but because they don't get any good jobs athough they are college graduates. Many clever blacks from here migrate to the west, and many become teachers. These disappointed people now tell their black students that they won't get a good job anyways so why try?

I wondered what the English thought, and imagined it was something along the lines of,"Haven't even been a country a lousy 100 years and they're already squabbling like children." But I found a library book "Europe Looks at the American Civil War" with comments by notable contemporary people, and it wasn't anything like that. In my history classes, no one laughed about the Houses of York and Lancaster or Cromwell.

There's no need for racism. Such claimance only proves the Yankees, scalawags, carpetbaggers, and the rest of the world right: that we are a racist people and our flag is an agent of evil. Don't play into their hands. The South is not a racist place, and neither is its flag!
AlabamaSoldier 4 years ago
nicely said AS, but untrue. I'm white myself and live in suburban new orleans. Our town has about 30% blacks, so how come not a single one of them works in the city hall, for the fire brigade or police? How whites call blacks 'nigger'? How come white people in my town have returned to their beautiful houses while black people still live in trailers because katrina destroyed their homes 2(!) years ago? If that is not racism.. The south is a racist place, but we are working to change that.
denisebingley 4 years ago
Your observations are true, but lack analysis. Many Blacks are lazy and arrogant. Many (not all) do not aspire to do great things. A vast majority are satisfied with jobs at fast-food resturaurnts and place no importance on an education or more esteemed jobs. When a disaster hits, they want the people who have good jobs (coincidentally Whites) to hand everything to them, and if they don't get it, Whites are automatically labeled: RACIST.
AlabamaSoldier 4 years ago 2
In Jackson, Mississippi, almost 100% of the Black population runs the resturaunts and other places on the same level. They are arrogant and haughty. I had a friend that stood in one of them for almost five minutes and the Black staff never so much as asked if they could help him. And that's just one example. Such behavior discourages visitors. As such, the city is losing its tax base as resturaunts shut down for lack of customers.
AlabamaSoldier 4 years ago 3
These are not racist statements. They are factual statements. I myself have several Black friends that I would die for. I would never dream of hating a man just because he was Black, and there are many like me. Not all Blacks are this way, but most of the Southern Black race is. A convenient way to escape this reality, is to slap someone like myself with racism.
AlabamaSoldier 4 years ago 2
Look at the situation and you will see it too. The problem is, White people can't help with the problem. Since it's a "racist" issue, Blacks must help themselves.
