How the hell is this video considered age-restricted? Fucking political correctness. This is the same shit that happened a few years ago with Arizona sweet tea cans being considered "racist" because it had a picture of a plantation.
'Dixie' is a minstrel tune written in the 1800's. It's a song about a slave who yearns for the plantation of his birth. It was usually performed in blackface and the performers would put on a stereotypical black accent.
Seriously, if you people think the civil war was about slavery then you obviously are poorly educated. Lincoln wanted to deport all blacks to Africa, he also said he would have let slavery continue if it would have prevented secession and kept the union together. He didn't care about their liberty, he was a tyrant and wanted to keep the dissolution of the union from happening to keep his power.
im actually analysis for a poem called "a song for a dark girl" which is kinda related to this song.. "....way down south dixie" check the poem out .. by langston hughes
What I cannot understand is how a few, rich plantation owner's convinced all the poor people around them to fight a war for something they didn't even own. Most people in the South did not even own slaves.
@ADTRAddict96 You don't understand, this was a tax war, not a slave war. Lincoln said if he could have fought the war without abolition he would have. Politics...
I agree: the South has some cute heritage, like grits, biscuits and gravy! But this song doesn't make reference to heritage at all ! It makes reference to a war that was fought for the sole purpose to keep slaves! Secession was a direct result of this, and had nothing to do with heritage or pride of the South...
@migmontano This song has nothing to do with the war, it was written in 1859 by a man from Ohio for a black-face minstrel show. It's the story of a freed slave who is pining for the plantation he was born on. It was later as adopted as a theme for the South. As for the war, it was not fought for the "sole purpose to keep slaves," it was fought for state rights(also the reason for secession)-a portion of which involved slavery.

They weren't "bad" any more than the North was "good". The North, in particular, was very hypocritical. Both sides fought for what they thought was right, just like any war. The South was right to leave a country that wouldn't listen to their concerns and took them for granted in favor of forming their own nation. It was totally legal too; it was in the Constitution. My family fought for the Union and I'm a northerner, but even I can see the North was just as much in the wrong.

@Uarehere White performers would blacken their faces with burnt cork or greasepaint, dress in outlandish costumes, and then perform songs and skits that mocked African Americans. Some of the most famous songs in American history--Dixie, Camptown Races, Oh Sussanah, My Old Kentucky Home--began as minstrel songs. THESE SONGS ARE RACIST
@js333100 unfortunately for me, my ancestors fought for the Union b/c they moved from Virginia (after arriving at Jamestown) to New Jersey in the lat 1700s.
actually lincoln got into office promising he wouldn't be an abolitionist. The north was almost broken when he started to turn. Does any body remember the draft riots in new york? a hundred blacks were killed and huge damage done by fires. The emancipation proclamation wasn't until half way through the war and as many people don't know, it didn't grant freedom.
then, snooty northerners, remember that this song was written by a northerner and performed at minstrel shows? you know black face
lulz at the people loving the North but have little clue at anything. The slaves was only set free because the South was kicking the North's ass. Abe didn't really want to set them free and he wanted to ship them off. Hell even played this song at his inauguration. For the South to be so backward, so far behind in everything and out numbered 2-1 the South really but its boot in the Norths ass before being over whelmed. The real turning point was when Stonewall Jackson died.
@fuckyeaful Uh oh! Is somebody on their period? Cause I noticed that you are being a pussy and have a good portion of your facts wrong. So, my good "man" I do believe you should just turn off your computer and never say another socially backwards thing again. Just a recomendation.
@fuckyeaful Good for you! You actually can get an education! Oh wait.... Rednecks that think that they are always the ones in the right. Dumbass southerners....
Ummmm..................unresolved issues it seems? The whole board is nothing but slurs from both sides. Does it really matter at all? Honestly, what happened happened. There's no changing it.
@Lieblingsfachful You are incorrect: It does matter. The Communist leader Lenin was quoted as saying "He who controls the past controls the future." Revisionist history is going on for a reason: Why do you think historical research (seeking documents and real evidence of what really happened) is so hated as an "egghead" left wing intellectual pursuit? Because historical evidence (art, orignial documents and real artifacts) can differ with the version of history some may wish to peddle.
@gurlsingerfan left-wing intellectual pursuit? Maybe I read that wrong, but what I got from it was that you're saying the left is the group trying to find the facts. The left is the same group of people who canonize Che Guevara as a hero of their progressive intents, yet a quick check of history shows him to be an anti-government, homosexual hating, mass murderer. How is fact seeking in any way a left wing pursuit?
@simmonstwopointzero Your an astute reader! You didn't read it wrong: I used the phrase intentionally. It is not my phrase but one usually used by the conservatives to attack scholarly research. It is interesting that the right are seldom attacked as "eggheads". That is an error by the left, because they do engage in scholarship. What no one admits: ALL parties seeking power engage in "revisionism" to support their cause. You said the left canonize Che Guevara...everyone in the Left?
@gurlsingerfan It's hard to sound like you're not generalizing when you only have 500 or so characters to work with, but I never did say everyone who leans left does so. I just find it ironic that people attacking others over revolutionist history often engage in it themselves. As far as I'm concerned, I want people to know history. I want them to know about all the wrong that's been done, so they might think about what they're supporting now. It's tragic that I can't speak for everyone, though
@simmonstwopointzero I will use a controversial example: I have heard people often say the goal of Muslims is to murder and destroy all non Muslims, has been for centuries. I asked them how to explain the Christian churches in Iraq, or the wonderful Coptic churches in Egypt. I have had people say to me, "That's stupid, there are no Christians in Iraq." (!) I pulled them photos of the STILL OPERATIONG CHURCHES, My friend was so confused, "that can't be right" he said. The buildings, evidence
We had the noble Battle Hymn of the Republic and the Slaveholding South had this silly song. Guess which side won the war. " The Civil War had nothing to do with Slavery." so say those who love to romanticize the Old South. Yet before the war, 4 million human beings were held in bondage with chains, whips, and terror. At the end of the war, those people were Free. Among those young men who "died to make men free" were my great grandfather's 2 older brothers, Phillip & Jacob Hamlin (MN 1& 7).
@jrayeyt Yes they were set free in a country that was angry because of said war. The north set them free and then made laws that forbid them to have any civil rights. Remember the riots in New York that led to 11 lynchings and a orphanage being burnt down by angry northeners?I went to a private school so I dont have the watered down history lessons that public school teaches.It was a illegel war about money and the end of slavery & a united country could have been achieved in a less bloody way.
Lincoln liked the tune Dixie and sang along well what were the lyrics? "I wish i was in the land of Dixie? that says a lot ;) you need to study and stop lying and making up crap lying makes you look lower than what you are we wanted sates rights PERIOD . slavery was just a factor during that time witch as you know we were in the process of freeing them ITS FACTS if it was lies it would not be on a public viewing thing i would not put it ether if it was so shutup and com down
Its not lies I am looking this stuff up and in history books and its facts so your basicly saying that the FACTS are lying? You are stubborn yank that is wanting to make people hate the south, the facts are facts history is history you can not argue with facts and say there lies when it HAPPEND! and we were not fighting the civil war because of slavery we were fighting for states rights y'all try to make it sound like we wanted to beat up blacks and keep them as slaves as said your wrong,sorry
FACT - A very interesting fact on slavery is that at the time the War of 1861 -1865 officially commenced, the Southern States were actually in the process of freeing all slaves in the South. Russia had freed it's servants in 1859, and the South took great note of this. Had military intervention not been forced upon the South, a very different America would have been realized then as well as now.
That's a complete lie. The South was not "in the process of freeing all slaves." The South was in the process of exactly the opposite---it seceded over slavery, declared slavery the "cornerstone" of its entire nation, adopted a constitution that barred any and all laws limiting slavery in any way---forever, attempted to expand slavery to new territories and areas, and increased slavery by enslaving captured black American soldiers. Don't you stupid hatemongers EVER stop lying?
MYTH - The Confederate Army was comprised of rich slave owners.
FACT - Very far from true. The vast majority of soldiers in the Confederate Army were simple men of meager income. Most of which were hard working farmers and common men. Then, as now, very few rich men ever fight a war
, “If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that.” The entire speech was merely a way to help de-motivate blacks who were fighting for the South so the North could get an advantage.
It was bout states rights u yank you blocked our trade routs and u did not care about the balck's and we wanted state rights you think your all that cause yall won psssh well your not and if u don't like us then piss off and i don't know why you even commenting on a southern song if u hate us then you would not be looking up Dixie and saying shit plus we have more facts about what what yall did wrong than you have on us you wee pretty much the bad guys in the Civil war
@Americasgreat "We hold as undeniable truths that the governments of the various States, and of the confederacy itself, were established exclusively by the white race, for themselves and their posterity; that the African race had no agency in their establishment; that they were rightfully held and regarded as an inferior and dependent race, and in that condition only could their existence in this country be rendered beneficial or tolerable."
The main things that led the Civil War were economic issues and slavery was only a part of these problems. When the economic tensions got too hot, the South fought for its independence and the North fought to preserve the Union. Most Northerners didn’t care about slavery all that much and many Southerners simply couldn’t afford to own slaves.Even the reasons behind the emancipation proclamation were more political than moral. The so-called Great Emancipator, Lincoln himself, once said,
@Americasgreat Then why is slavery the FIRST reason mentioned in the declaration of causes and why is freeing slaves mentioned in the battle hymn of the republic and john browns body. also why did the south suddenly decide to leave when an abolishionist president was elected, or was the just a massive coincidence? finally am I supposed to beleive it was just a coincidence that after the war the kkk was formed and initially tried to scare blacks by claming to be the ghosts of dead confederates.
@liberalmike1994 The war was fought over states rights (of which slavery was one). The South wanted the right to choose and not have the feds impose their will on them.
@liberalmike1994 The answer is simple for anyone with a basic education.Slavery wasnt even made a issue by the north until 4 years after the war started. Its was about unjust taxation just like the american revolution.If the south were to be its own nation with low tariffs it could undermine northern business & trade.END SLAVERY is just a better battle cry than GIVE ME MORE MONEY. And as for racism in the south you do know that the most violent race riot in the USA happened in Manhattan right?
@agoddamnsexfiend If slavery wasn't the main cause then why is it mentioned as a reason for succesion in EVERY declaration of causes from the confederate states. and for that matter why is freeing the slaves referenced in the battle hymn of the republic and many other popular songs from the union during the war.
@liberalmike1994 Actually you are very wrong the Florida Ordinance of Secession does not mention slavery as the cause of separation from the union known as the USA. They site that the federal government was no longer meeting its contractual duties as stated in the US constitution... and like any other contract that once one party is no longer meeting its obligation than the other is no longer bound to stay in said contract.
@liberalmike1994 The battle hymn of the republic was actually an anti christian song that contains much blasphemy against the tradition interpretations of the Bible. The first sentence likened the army of God to union soldiers, the third verse is so blasphemous that is not included in hymn books at all it refers to teaching another gospel (other than Christ), the fifth verse claims that Jesus was not born in a manger, this verse also equated union death as equivalent to the death of Christ.
@Chad435 lol so youre trying to argue that the north was atheist? and even if that wasn't rediculous it wouldn't be relevant to their anti slavery veiws. "Jesus died to make men holy let us live to make men free" -Battle Hymn of the republic
Long live the Union? With a 14 trillion debt , I thnk it's on life support. And with another terrorist attack our economy goes in the shitter and all hell breaks loose. You can bank on that.
@kingstarks96 Proud descendant Captain James Milton Brister of the 7th Mississippi Infantry DEO VINCIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh and by the way yall are still tyrants who waged an illegal war.
Did you know that President Lincoln’s favorite tune was “Dixie
and we tried to sussed and the north put slavery as an exsucse so Britin and France . to remember that Lincoln was often ruthless, and broke the Constitution when it suited him. It is salutary to remember that Lee, like many Southern leaders, was a personally decent man, and the South had many brave soldiers - most of whom did not own slaves. It is salutary to remember the many ways in which the Northern side treated blacks badly
The dixies were evil and wrong in all respects. One of the wrongest ideas they have was that the brits needed their cotton. As the situation evolved , the brits harvested cotton at record levels in Egypt. While having a bad wheat harvest in the britain islands. The wheat deficit was supplied by the Union at a good price and profit. The Northeners were capable of producing surpluses of grain with no slaves and in the middle of a war. That tell us which was the best society.
@powerdriller10 The South, and that is said without even a second of hesitation. There was no possible way to know before it happened that the Brits would find a way to produce quality cotton. Up until that point in time all quality cotton had been produced in the South and nowhere but the South. As for the North's grain production, if y'all could produce so much even in the middle of a war, why did 15% to 30% of our Southerners who were your POWs starve to death in your prisons?
@powerdriller10 Second of course you could produce grain in the middle of a war, remember the population diffrences, if im remembering correctly it was 5,000,000 Southerners to 22,000,000 yankees. Oh and a constant stream of new immigrants from Ireland too. Numbers do not make a nation superior to another. Even against such odds, even without the grain production, even with the yankee owning almost all the factories, even with the blockade we still lasted for four years in that war.
@3MusketeersMovies you guys lost the battles that counted.... your wins was just to give you guys hope to enter the bloodbaths we the north would cause!
@3MusketeersMovies okay well Bull Run counted,if they hadn't of won Bull Run the war would've ended there.Secondly,the South won the Seven Days Battle so,same thing with Bull Run.If the South had've won Gettysburg eventually they would've won the war.The South would've gotten help from Britain,Northerners would've opposed of the war even more,and the Lee's men would've wanted to keep fighting.Even without barely any supplies,less men,and less land the South did great.
I love a bit of Dixie. A lot of people in England like this too. I don't think I have ever heard the song right the way through apart from when Elvis sang it. I'm just reading some of the other comments to find out what the song was all about.
If you did your research you would know that the south was kicking the north's ass until gettysburg, which was more than half-way into the war. Chattanooga lead to Atlanta, if it wasn't captured, the south would have had a good chance at winning.
@Lamboguy86 The North was only losing in the Eastern Theatre, while the West was succumbing to Union forces under General Grant. Furthemore, there was no chance in hell the Confederacy would've won against the industrial/demographic might of the Union. It was a matter of time until the Confederacy could fight no more.
@Lamboguy86 Then thank God for the MN 1st at Gettysburg. They helped to turn the tide and suffered more than 80% casualties The South never had ANY chance of winning. The South had to fight the North, while, at the same time holding 4 million human beings in bondage. Like fighting with one arm tied behind their back.
Get over it the war ended almost 150 years ago and we are the UNITED (as in one country) States. Odd selection of pictures. I'm sure southerners loved seeing Shermans (the butcher) picture in there as well as Grant and mcCllan amoung others.
dude the only reason im on this song is cuz in my history class half the class has to memorize the union song and present it to class. but other half got the confederate song so ima play it 100x so i memorize it. FML
@Composer1777 are we really going to bring up problems that happened 200 years ago and just be happy that we can all live in this good country we are alll brothers and sisters north or south. Plus in the war yes the south was rebelling but they did not like the fact that they had to kill there fellow american brothers.
An old 1916 recording of Dixie/Dixie's Land/I Wish I Was in Dixie by Billy Murray and Ada Jones. It was composed in 1859 by Daniel Decatur Emmett. Although strongly associated with the south and the Confederacy, it was reportedly a favorite song of Abraham Lincoln, as he had a military band play it before a large crowd soon after the Civil War ended.
@dardull really lincoln set a naval blockade on every southern port before the states seceded, and demanded the southern states militias to fire upon south carolinas militia because they wanted their fort back... take your bull shit else where the north started the war and the federal government is getting more and more oppressive you stupid shit. go fuck yourself.
@CWScott24 The North sparked the civil war? Oh, okay. I suppose a widespread, illegal secession in response to Abraham Lincoln's presidential election, as well as a Confederate attack on a United States military installation at Fort Sumter (which is the reason Lincoln established the Naval blockades) completely villi

actually lincoln got into office promising he wouldn't be an abolitionist. The north was almost broken when he started to turn. Does any body remember the draft riots in new york? a hundred blacks were killed and huge damage done by fires. The emancipation proclamation wasn't until half way through the war and as many people don't know, it didn't grant freedom.
then, snooty northerners, remember that this song was written by a northerner and performed at minstrel shows? you know black face

lulz at the people loving the North but have little clue at anything. The slaves was only set free because the South was kicking the North's ass. Abe didn't really want to set them free and he wanted to ship them off. Hell even played this song at his inauguration. For the South to be so backward, so far behind in everything and out numbered 2-1 the South really but its boot in the Norths ass before being over whelmed. The real turning point was when Stonewall Jackson died.

@Lieblingsfachful You are incorrect: It does matter. The Communist leader Lenin was quoted as saying "He who controls the past controls the future." Revisionist history is going on for a reason: Why do you think historical research (seeking documents and real evidence of what really happened) is so hated as an "egghead" left wing intellectual pursuit? Because historical evidence (art, orignial documents and real artifacts) can differ with the version of history some may wish to peddle.

@gurlsingerfan left-wing intellectual pursuit? Maybe I read that wrong, but what I got from it was that you're saying the left is the group trying to find the facts.

How is fact seeking in any way a left wing pursuit?

@gurlsingerfan It's hard to sound like you're not generalizing when you only have 500 or so characters to work with, but I never did say everyone who leans left does so.

I want them to know about all the wrong that's been done, so they might think about what they're supporting now. It's tragic that I can't speak for everyone, though

We had the noble Battle Hymn of the Republic and the Slaveholding South had this silly song. Guess which side won the war. " The Civil War had nothing to do with Slavery." so say those who love to romanticize the Old South. Yet before the war, 4 million human beings were held in bondage with chains, whips, and terror. At the end of the war, those people were Free. Among those young men who "died to make men free" were my great grandfather's 2 older brothers, Phillip & Jacob Hamlin (MN 1& 7).

Remember the riots in New York that led to 11 lynchings and a orphanage being burnt down by angry northeners?I went to a private school so I dont have the watered down history lessons that public school teaches.It was a illegel war about money and the end of slavery & a united country could have been achieved in a less bloody way.

MYTH - The South revered slavery.
FACT - A very interesting fact on slavery is that at the time the War of 1861 -1865 officially commenced, the Southern States were actually in the process of freeing all slaves in the South. Russia had freed it's servants in 1859, and the South took great note of this. Had military intervention not been forced upon the South, a very different America would have been realized then as well as now.
Americasgreat 8 months ago
That's a complete lie. The South was not "in the process of freeing all slaves." The South was in the process of exactly the opposite---it seceded over slavery, declared slavery the "cornerstone" of its entire nation, adopted a constitution that barred any and all laws limiting slavery in any way---forever, attempted to expand slavery to new territories and areas, and increased slavery by enslaving captured black American soldiers. Don't you stupid hatemongers EVER stop lying?

The main things that led the Civil War were economic issues and slavery was only a part of these problems. When the economic tensions got too hot, the South fought for its independence and the North fought to preserve the Union. Most Northerners didn’t care about slavery all that much and many Southerners simply couldn’t afford to own slaves.Even the reasons behind the emancipation proclamation were more political than moral. The so-called Great Emancipator, Lincoln himself, once said,

@Americasgreat Then why is slavery the FIRST reason mentioned in the declaration of causes and why is freeing slaves mentioned in the battle hymn of the republic and john browns body. also why did the south suddenly decide to leave when an abolishionist president was elected, or was the just a massive coincidence? finally am I supposed to beleive it was just a coincidence that after the war the kkk was formed and initially tried to scare blacks by claming to be the ghosts of dead confederates.

@agoddamnsexfiend If slavery wasn't the main cause then why is it mentioned as a reason for succesion in EVERY declaration of causes from the confederate states. and for that matter why is freeing the slaves referenced in the battle hymn of the republic and many other popular songs from the union during the war.

@liberalmike1994 Actually you are very wrong the Florida Ordinance of Secession does not mention slavery as the cause of separation from the union known as the USA.

@liberalmike1994 The battle hymn of the republic was actually an anti christian song that contains much blasphemy against the tradition interpretations of the Bible. The first sentence likened the army of God to union soldiers, the third verse is so blasphemous that is not included in hymn books at all it refers to teaching another gospel (other than Christ), the fifth verse claims that Jesus was not born in a manger, this verse also equated union death as equivalent to the death of Christ.

It is salutary to remember that Lee, like many Southern leaders, was a personally decent man, and the South had many brave soldiers - most of whom did not own slaves. It is salutary to remember the many ways in which the Northern side treated blacks badly

The dixies were evil and wrong in all respects. One of the wrongest ideas they have was that the brits needed their cotton. As the situation evolved , the brits harvested cotton at record levels in Egypt. While having a bad wheat harvest in the britain islands. The wheat deficit was supplied by the Union at a good price and profit. The Northeners were capable of producing surpluses of grain with no slaves and in the middle of a war. That tell us which was the best society.

Up until that point in time all quality cotton had been produced in the South and nowhere but the South. As for the North's grain production, if y'all could produce so much even in the middle of a war, why did 15% to 30% of our Southerners who were your POWs starve to death in your prisons?

Oh and a constant stream of new immigrants from Ireland too. Numbers do not make a nation superior to another.

An old 1916 recording of Dixie/Dixie's Land/I Wish I Was in Dixie by Billy Murray and Ada Jones. It was composed in 1859 by Daniel Decatur Emmett. Although strongly associated with the south and the Confederacy, it was reportedly a favorite song of Abraham Lincoln, as he had a military band play it before a large crowd soon after the Civil War ended.
