THE SHIPPING CORPORATIONS {1800's} PROFFITTED FROM WAR AND SLAVERY ARE EVIL WAR CRIMINALS!!
THE REAL RACIST(OFFICIAL STATE RELIGON) ARE THE MISFITS THAT BLAME EVERYBODY INCLUDING AMERICANS FOR THEIR FAILURES! THIS IS A HONORABLE VIDEO THAT HONORS CONFERATE SOLDIERS AND GENERALS ......KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK ..........................."SEMPER FI"
@MrIncredibleGuy You do know that the north had slaves to right. And this is honoring them you dont have to be a ass here. You just came here to a ass
The battle of Franklin was extremely tragic. Imagine being a soldier on the southern side and being asked to charge during that battle. May those men and all the fallen of the Civil War forever rest peacefully.
Fuck the people who says that the war was only about blacks the only part about blacks was that lincoin let them free just sohe an have more troops it was about a way of life
It puts things in some perspective as to how dangerous it was to be a Confederate general when one realizes none of Lee's corps commanders came out of the war unscathed. Three--Jackson, Stuart, and Hill--died in it, Longstreet was badly wounded, like Jackson, by Confederate troops, but survived (although with permanent effects), and Ewell lost a leg, though he wasn't a corps commander at the time. Even Lee had a couple of close calls, once when an artillery shell passed under Traveller as he was
@ philoamericana I feel ya know I can see your point i dont hate people not a prejudice black man but some would feel that way black and white thanks for reply with your point of view I actually watched this to learn something I didnt know a whole lot about thanks cause you shown me a different side and I appreciate that
@DUBDUECE05 Yep, and thank God we're working on removing those divisions that have separated whites and blacks in this country for too long. It's too bad so many people have had to die.
watching this video,I see men of honor and principle ,for the most part we dont have today,if you try an do that today you are called ,extremist, fanatic, or even worse terrorist. we have fallen so far both Northerners and Southerners. we wont stand up against Tyrannical govt,we wont defend little children from being molested by TSA, just to get on a goddamn airplane.we are arrogant,Fat and Sassy, we forgot what made us great,we are rapidly crumbling as a society,Becoming Ancient Rome :(
im from Louisiana ......who fights for oppression really it was wrong they lost its history as a southernern im not proud of this but its a different time then i woyld never fight to condemn another human being regardless of race its sad but its the south
@DUBDUECE05 I agree. Fighting for oppression is wrong. I just don't think all the peasants were fighting for oppression. I think many were just fighting because war was brought to their land. Keeping slaves in place wasn't in their favor. That hurt many Southerners. But when cities are burned to the ground, people will pick up guns.
@death6998 im guessing ur ancestor was a slave owner then homie, i bet u wish they were still slaves, the whole point in tha war was to free slaves, but tha south disagrees cos they dont wanna hear tha truth.. and i bet ur from tha south
Anyways I am from texas and I was born in Texas and I will die in Texas also I am Hispanic and I dont know if my family ever owned slaves, but I dont give a shit about slaves I dont want them to be slaves again its just that the Union was a peice of crap and the confederates were good people. And dont think you are all talking good and I am some "bad" guy the truth is that you watch to much CNN and have been lied to and dont know shit
@death6998 actually, im always on my laptop bumpin ole school g funk shit from tha 90s and watching ral documentaries and shit, i even have tha whole box set of ROOTS homie so dont talk shit, how can tha confederates be good people when they had SLAVES u thick asshole, the north tried freeing slaves using underground railroad but instead, the homie abraham lincoln hit hard, and its obvious that ur racist cos ur from TEXAS lol .. man .. i aint even from usa LMAO
@xMASSxDx187x Are you retarded? or sould I say iz u wetarded? A I am not racist and no I dont know any Texans who are racist. whats a ral document? and the 90s? It was in the 1800s and just because they had slaves didnt make them bad, whats considered wrong now wasent considered wrong then. And fuck off and go back to school
@death6998 lmao .. ur just sooooooooooooo fucked up doe, and i know it was 1800s lol, and i prob no way more history about ur country than u do for a start haha
@xMASSxDx187x I swear to god if this was a real life fight you would be on the ground by now with a bloody face even if you were 6 like I am starting to think you are since you cant spell for shit.

@xMASSxDx187x I am fine with how fucking retarded you are I am even fine about how little you know about the civil war but dont you ever talk shit about me "home boy"
hopefully for union , they were numerous in comparison of the north 21 billions vs 7 if i recall, otherwise they would have lost, southern soldiers and generals were far more brilliant than the north. confederate army is like napoleonic army , fought against far more powerfull armies, they lost but they stay in legend forever.
Of course people will have their points of view. However; being Southern, being raised in this best of all cultures, one does hold dear the sacrifices made for "States Rights". It would seem that most want to color the conflict as a abolishonist platform. Lincoln said "If I can maintain the Union with slavery...I will. If I can maintain the Union without slavery...I will". Therefore the empitus of the conflict didn`t change until the union gained momentum.
I now serve in the South Carolina unit that States Rights Gist (:37 seconds in) commanded back in 1860.. I've also been to his paternal home in Union SC (Rose Hill Plantation). He was a great general.
overall the south kicked the norths ass big time! its when the manpower ran out that the north finally started to win a few battles! read your history peep
i'm from canada and have studied confederate history. in ww 1 a canadian general took a page out of stonewall's book and used it on the germans. the result was the beginning of the end of ww 1.the battle this general studied was chancellorsville. it goofed up the german's plans, big time.
Richard Garnett... Garnett disappeared in the holocaust of flame and smoke, a few moments later, his riderless horse, streaming blood, came galloping to the rear of the lines. Gallantry and poise in the line of fire.
To think what this country has gone through only to be in the position of being ruled by zionists who are dual citizens and loyal to a foreign state, makes me sick thinking about it
My Great, Great Grandfather Col. William H.H. Cowles fought under the command of Gen James B Gordon 4:07 in the 1st NC Cav. My wife's great great uncle is Gen Stephen D Ramseur. Great video!
Once there was a land of Cavalier and Cotton fields , called the Old south...
Here in this pretty world Gallantry took it's last bow. Here was the last ever to be seen of knights and of their ladies fair. Look for it only in books, for it is no more than a dream remembered...
A civilization, Gone With The Wind.
This is a wonderful way to remember our men of the South, those gallant heros who fought for what they thought was right. God BLess Their Souls, may they rest in eternal peace.
There are many dicrepancies here...many felt Bee was critical of Jackson in his "Stonewall" comment and they were not his last words. As always, history is viewed from two sides and unfortunately, revisionist southern authors took many liberties of fact when revisiting confederate exploits. One major problem though with some people who have posted here.Our Butternut generals were cowards?Tell me time and place and I will personally, seriously kick your ass!
@rodzilla3006 This is true, General Bee's small command had on a number of times in the early hours of the battle charged time and again the pressing and growing numbers of the Union, and there stood Stonewall with his command.
Major Wheat's near 500 was like 10,000 those early hours, the "Tigers" showed well that day and are all but forgotten, because of Stonewall that day.
@lewisclark1800 Typical, who is the one that doesn't even realise that it's you who is spewing crap from your mouth. It is you that doesn't realise the hate, that doesn't realisethat you are looking to cause trouble by writting that hateful crap you think is intelligents. Look up "States Rights". Learn your history don't be told your history.
Lee didn't call for Hill. Thats a myth. He suffered a stroke and could barely talk. And Gen. Bee's final words weren't about Jackson. Bee was wounded severely on July 21 but died July 22 after the battle.

We do you people celebrate killing your fellow Americans in order keep something going as stupid as Slavery. You people are really sad and wanna hate folks from other states for stupid reasons.
I ain't against the south, but they wanted to fight the yankees. And lost. Sad thing is that some southerns are a bunch of cry babies. You got whopped move on.
Hope I get to meet em all on day, Men of Honor, Men of Nobility, Men of Character all our Heroes and Fathers. there is none braver ... God Bless our South...
Thank you StoriaMilitareACW... Sacred and humble are these glorious Southern Legends...May they never be forgotten...
Big -- men of HONOR? Are you mental? Actually Southern Leaders were not honorable -- and most of your soldiers deserted. Legends? they are myths, like Santa Claus. Lee for example, was a slave whipping, baby selling tyrant, and almost all his men deserted. They were trying very hard to desert as early as 62. Lee was also a personal coward, like Davis. Between them, they lost the war for you.
@BullshipDetector Youre the biggest NIgger lovin son of a bitch on this planet... go marry you a big black queen or fat lipped coon king ... stich brillo on that fucked up head and go call yourself a still whinning black nigger..
@bigwhitebear1 What have you against to love negroes or indians, jews, etc? Do you really think that there´s a superior race who had the right to seize the other´s freedom the way most of the white southerners wanted? What if someone had done the same to your family? Have you already thought about?
The Confederacy had too many generals. Not enough privates. Southerners must have been crazy to attack the United States. Sort of like the Japanese at Pearl Harbor. What did Mary Chesnut say about it?
"Woe to those who began this war - if they are not in bitter earnest."
@Danjuma13 The North had to many WAR CRIMINALS... the south seceeded because the North wanted what wasn't theirs... The north had no class in battle and in war... The south has pride , diginity, character and respect, That war won't ever be over ..
"Amensty Sir,applies to criminals,we have commited no crime,at your door lies all the crimes of this war,we are fighting for our independence,and that or extermination we will have,you may emancipate every negro in the Confederacy but we will be free,we will govern ourselves if we have to see every Southern Plantation sacked,and every Southern city in flames" Confederate President Jefferson Davis. learn some history.
Oh the real reason can only be defined by your flawed belief.considering your lack of having proper etiquette just like a barbarian aren't you? yes we all know so well it is no wonder that so many followed Lincolns flawed doctrine.btw each State acted according to their own reasons,amazing that SC addressed slavery at the bottom of the list on the causes of secession.And SC adopted the 13th amendment before some of the Northern States.Northern indoctrination is just swell isn't it Beaver.....
Hitting dumb fuck - SC main complaint was actually run away slaves. They wanted run away slaves back to whip the shit out of -- killl if need be -- to show the rest of their slaves what happens to run aways. Read SC Declaration of Causes -- every specific complaint is about slavery.
South Carolina was incensed that people in the North had dared to call slavery a sin -- how DARE anyone question their God of slavery!!!
It was about slavery to those who beleive that was the cause,it was about undue tarriffs to those of concern,it was about keeping the Union together for those that felt it a motive,it was about being free from an all to powerful central government encroaching upon seperate Sovereignty protection under the Constitution.
The U.S Constitution does not protect the unified ideal of a Union only it's best wishes,it does protect States Sovereignty and over taxation thru enumeration clause,South was +
hitting dumb fuck -- Davis said it was NOT the tariff. Got that retard? Your own sociopath lunatic Jeff Davis wrote in his own fucking book that the Civil War was about SPREADING slavery -- and that it was not about tariffs.
Jeff Davis was one of the main "Taliban like" lunatics that took over the South from 1830 on, and stopped free speech, free press, and stopped real elections. His main goal was to spread slavery - by force - to the rest of the Contintental US

I have very little respect for any Confederate soldier, supporter, or politician, but I appreciate all of the work it took to create this video. We should remember them, but as traitors and villains, not heroes.
So because I do not respect a bunch of traitors that instigated a Civil War in which over 600,000 people died, it is my view that is in need of revision? It is you that appears to be the unintelligent one, not me.
In my original post, I stated that I "appreciate all of the work it took to create this video." I appreciate their historical significance, but not the cause for which they fought.
If you have a different opinion concerning the Confederates and their cause, then that is your right. I am open to debate if you wish to discuss it. However, to insult me and assume I am a simpleton simply because I hold a different opinion than you is nothing short of idiotic.
@someone060288 Secession is a right of any FREE MAN! Have you ever heard of American revolutionary war ? would you call George Washington a traitor ? You would be still paying taxes to the British .Those men fought for freedom and we should remember them.They had worldwide support. (GB,France) Union was just criminal organization. We should respect them as heroes because they were ,their men as well. Iam from the Czech rep and I like the South because I studied in Virginia year ago!
Yes, I would most definitely refer to George Washington as a traitor. He was a traitor to the British Crown. As to the taxes, people have to pay taxes regardless of the form their government may take. Besides, the colonies existed merely for the profit of the "parent" nation, whereas states are an equal member of a Union. In fact, the South dominated American national politics up until the American Civil War. In fact, 9 of the first 16 Presidents were born in the Southern United States.
@someone060288 In a way you are right. But everybody knows that main cause of the Civil war were money not slavery .Only 5 % Southernes owned slaves.Iam impressed that this war lasted 4 years if you consider that Union had a larger resources.The most conf.soldiers enlisted because they were patriots ,they did not want to fight for slavery ,but as I have already noticed for freedom! South is very rich and North could not allow to loose domination in the South.Have a nice day !
Have you ever read the Mississippi Declaration of Causes of Secession? It directly states slavery as the primary cause for their secession. Other Southern states issued similar declarations that say generally the same thing. On an individual level, you definitely have a point. However, if slavery had never been introduced in the United States, I firmly believe that the two sections of the country would not have been so different, and the American Civil War never would have occurred.
the cotton industry was a biggest cash crop back then and those who worked in those fields were blacks. as a matter of facts, those who faught in the south didn't have a clear idea on why they are fighting. they did so out of blind patriotism while the rich who were slaver owners were the once who indeed wanted the slavery system to stay hence resisting the emancipation of slaves. It was states rights but those rights were tied to slavery
eh, it could be argued that colonies were a burden on the mother nation, but obviously the mother nation had resources (tobacco, silk, spices, tea, etc.). It takes money and soldiers to protect commodities and this is where it's not known if having colonies was worth all the expenditures of maintaining them and securing them. anyways, I don't agree with your view that the southerners were out of line in wanting to defend their way of life, it'd been in place well b4 the war started.
Ve - secession? T that was a violent attack on the US - not secession. No one stopped you fucks from seceding LEGALLY. Southern Leaders were more like Nazis - not allowing real elections - -killing people who dared to vote, using threats of violence to stop others.
Go do that same shit now -- attack 12 forts, hang voters, dont allow real elections -- threaten the capital. See what happens.
No one is stopping you from seceding NOW either, if you do it legally
@BullshipDetector Clearly you are one ignorant wretch. You know nothing of history. Those Confederate Generals ARE legends........unlike yourself; being the peewit that you are.
@wolfkarel Sorry dumb ass --- I quit believing in your jerkoff myths. You had some great generals, true. You had hundreds of thousands of brave men in the South -- they left the South and fought for the NORTH.
PGT Beauregard, Johnston, Jackson, you had very capable generals. But you had pussy and dumb fuck Lee.
IN a war you should have won easily, Lee and Davis fucked you up, by their ego and cowardice.
@VennFraTsjekkia OK! There´s a point we shoulda´also respect besides those heroes who fought for their freedom: the millions of enslaved africans and afroamericans who had been kept in bondage for about two hundred years by those heroes´s civilization. It´s poor revisionism to state that slavery which was among most of the white southerners´ beliefs was not the main cause of the war. When you point out the rights of any FREE MAN, just wonder what if someone tells you were born to be a servant!
@VennFraTsjekkia Sorry man but in the eyes of Great Britain George Washington was a traitor along with the rest of the founding fathers. If they had lost that war they would have been tried and hung. Also I don't think we would still be paying taxes to the Brits today all you have to do is look at Canada, NewZeland and Australia they all received their Independence from the Brits peacefully without loss of life. There is nothing in our Constitution that says secession is legal.
@VennFraTsjekkia You need to have a look at the history 1st of the Articles of Confederation and why the Constitution was written and adopted. The Constitution made armed rebellion unlawful. The FedGov had every right to put the rebellion to an end. Please don't tell me what I don't know because I do. You read it.
@aellarex Hi, I was wondering if you could enlighten me: where in the Constitution of the United States of America does it make armed rebellion unlawful? I'm serious. Can you tell me in with Article or Amendment I can find that? I would like to know where in the Constitution of the United States of America does it prohibit armed rebellion. I mean you said that you've read the Constitution, right? You said, "The Constitution made armed rebellion unlawful." Well, where does it say that?
@VennFraTsjekkia Secede if you must, but for goodness sake before you start a war you better have a damn good reason. I do not agree with why the Southern states seceded from the Union (to perpetuate the institution of slavery), which led to the death of 520,000 American brethren.
Carolina drew arms against the Union, yet Southern scholars label it the war of Northern Aggression. This is an attempt to excuse the inexcusable.
ok...as each new state was admitted to the Union, a great debate raged over whether that state would be a free or a slave state. Depending on its slavery "status", it threatened to upset the balance of power in the Congress. Either could then pass legislation favorable to its interests. Slavery was certainly a factor in the War. It was the final acid test of whether a democratically elected, powerful, and central government could administer a land so vast.
Many years ago Kings had to lead their armies. The people who declare or start war should be in the thick of it. Since the last century the spineless have been in charge,which is good in a way,because their getting more and more spineless and we have got a lot more rights because of it.
I blame the technology, the internet, and advance of modern weaponry. There is no way they can still ride a horse and cover hundreds of miles a day........=-D
The southern generals wanted slavery to end to because then Great Britian would have no reason not to help them. But in the cause of the war was slavery but the war itself was not
these men werent fighting to uphold slavery and their northern counterparts werent fighting to end it either. this war had nothing to do with slavery - it was a side issue. the southerners believed they were defending their homes. Slavery ending was overdue but let us not forget that all of the states were involved in the slave trade and so was europe. slavery was used as a weapon to gain the moral high ground by Lincoln. racism is still alive and well & so has nothing to do with north or south.
First off, man thats a good tribute to the fallen generals of the South. I agree slavery was for the most part a sub issue for combatants on both sides. But I think if you could some how gather 100 Civil War veterans together and take a survey about why they fought the war I bet you would get no less than 10 different answers. Most Confederate soldiers were poor white men, you had to have money to be a slave owner. Slavery hurt poor whites. So why would a poor white man fight for slavery?
Slavery ended in Europe decades before the Civil War, and Britain was seizing slave vessels sailing in and out of Africa and arresting those involved. I wouldn't try to spread the blame to those who did what we should have done. Also, slavery had already divided the country before the war started... when Missouri became a state people were fighting to make it a slave/slave-free state. I can't think of a more divisive issue to ignite the war. John Brown did his raid with slaves in 1859.
thats a generalisation - the southern infantry were all poor farmers who owned no slaves and many northern officers were slave owners. whatever racism existed was evident north and south. this wasnt a war against slavery - the northern soldiers couldnt give a hoot about the slaves. what is true though is that the south were better soldiers both as troops and generals.
Alot of Irish became a part of the war back then, there house they left behind are still standing today in places with the thatched roofs long gone, just empty shells of once happy homes

hopefully for union , they were numerous in comparison of the north 21 billions vs 7 if i recall, otherwise they would have lost, southern soldiers and generals were far more brilliant than the north. confederate army is like napoleonic army , fought against far more powerfull armies, they lost but they stay in legend forever.

Of course people will have their points of view. However; being Southern, being raised in this best of all cultures, one does hold dear the sacrifices made for "States Rights". It would seem that most want to color the conflict as a abolishonist platform. Lincoln said "If I can maintain the Union with slavery...I will. If I can maintain the Union without slavery...I will". Therefore the empitus of the conflict didn`t change until the union gained momentum.

VennFraTsjekkia 2 years ago 12
Yes, I would most definitely refer to George Washington as a traitor. He was a traitor to the British Crown. As to the taxes, people have to pay taxes regardless of the form their government may take. Besides, the colonies existed merely for the profit of the "parent" nation, whereas states are an equal member of a Union. In fact, the South dominated American national politics up until the American Civil War. In fact, 9 of the first 16 Presidents were born in the Southern United States.
someone060288 2 years ago
@someone060288 In a way you are right. But everybody knows that main cause of the Civil war were money not slavery .Only 5 % Southernes owned slaves.Iam impressed that this war lasted 4 years if you consider that Union had a larger resources.The most conf.soldiers enlisted because they were patriots ,they did not want to fight for slavery ,but as I have already noticed for freedom! South is very rich and North could not allow to loose domination in the South.Have a nice day !
VennFraTsjekkia 2 years ago 4
Have you ever read the Mississippi Declaration of Causes of Secession? It directly states slavery as the primary cause for their secession. Other Southern states issued similar declarations that say generally the same thing. On an individual level, you definitely have a point. However, if slavery had never been introduced in the United States, I firmly believe that the two sections of the country would not have been so different, and the American Civil War never would have occurred.
someone060288 2 years ago
the cotton industry was a biggest cash crop back then and those who worked in those fields were blacks. as a matter of facts, those who faught in the south didn't have a clear idea on why they are fighting. they did so out of blind patriotism while the rich who were slaver owners were the once who indeed wanted the slavery system to stay hence resisting the emancipation of slaves. It was states rights but those rights were tied to slavery

eh, it could be argued that colonies were a burden on the mother nation, but obviously the mother nation had resources (tobacco, silk, spices, tea, etc.). It takes money and soldiers to protect commodities and this is where it's not known if having colonies was worth all the expenditures of maintaining them and securing them. anyways, I don't agree with your view that the southerners were out of line in wanting to defend their way of life, it'd been in place well b4 the war started.

ok...as each new state was admitted to the Union, a great debate raged over whether that state would be a free or a slave state. Depending on its slavery "status", it threatened to upset the balance of power in the Congress. Either could then pass legislation favorable to its interests. Slavery was certainly a factor in the War. It was the final acid test of whether a democratically elected, powerful, and central government could administer a land so vast.

First off, man thats a good tribute to the fallen generals of the South. I agree slavery was for the most part a sub issue for combatants on both sides. But I think if you could some how gather 100 Civil War veterans together and take a survey about why they fought the war I bet you would get no less than 10 different answers. Most Confederate soldiers were poor white men, you had to have money to be a slave owner. Slavery hurt poor whites. So why would a poor white man fight for slavery?
BradNC11175 2 years ago
Slavery ended in Europe decades before the Civil War, and Britain was seizing slave vessels sailing in and out of Africa and arresting those involved. I wouldn't try to spread the blame to those who did what we should have done. Also, slavery had already divided the country before the war started... when Missouri became a state people were fighting to make it a slave/slave-free state. I can't think of a more divisive issue to ignite the war. John Brown did his raid with slaves in 1859.
