1966 Walt Disney's Mosby's Marauders Opening & Closing Theme (with credits)

[BuzzLOLOL]

.. Northern businesses paying workers couldn't compete with Southern businesses using slaves, so Northern businesses were willing to finance the (un)Civil War and join with others who simply wanted to end slavery for philosophical reasons... And, of course, Southern businesses wanted to keep slavery and the luxurious lifestyle that went with it... for slaveowners, that is...

Exactly WHEN are the Disney people going to pull their heads out of their butts and get these great Disney Civil War films out on DVD? Johnny Shiloh, This one, and others?

[LoreneFaith]

@skudaarkaat1 I totally agree. They need to get so many of their classic movie out on dvd and have a classic Disney channel.

[pictureisup1]

@skudaarkaat1 They are more interested in the kids shows

[LaMusicaVa]

I would love to see the entire three-episode version of this film. If anybody uploads it to YouTube it would be very welcome!

[LoreneFaith]

I think that movies were that way in general back then, except I guess with racial stereotyping.

[12FlyMe]

Mosby, by the way, wrote after the war that OF COURSE the war was about slavery. He said he never heard ANY reason OTHER than slavery for the fighting.

Really an amazing statement. He went on to explain that after the war, everyone made up lofty bullshit excuses -- but at the time -- everyone knew and admitted it was about slavery. He said this in a hand written letter to a friend.

[LoreneFaith]

I had never heard that, that is interesting. I think down deep inside everyone knew that it was about slavery. After all, that is what separated the culture of the South from the rest of the country.

[BullshipDetector]

Not just deep down. It was openly discussed at the time -- until they lost. Then there was a mad scramble to save face.

I will send you some quotes from official documents written BY the Southern states at the time -- something no Southern state teaches ever existed. In official documents, and proud speeches by Southern founding fathers, they claimed from the rooftops it was about slavery. They gloried in bragging about it - till they lost.

Read what I send.

[LoreneFaith]

I read what you sent and what more needs to be said, they expressed themselves perfectly and so many of them still feel this way today. They are showing their true feelings now that we have a African-American in the White house.

@BullshipDetector

Didn't Honest Abe Lincoln say that it wasn't about slavery; it was about keeping the Union intact?

[NeilTaxCon]

Cum -- no.. LIncoln said if he could save the Union without freeing slaves he would. AND he said slavery would have to end, or the Union would end.

He also said slave owners should be kicked to death.

Lincoln didn't start the war at all - the South did, by hanging voters, attacking 12 (not 1) Forts, and threatening the capital. The South did this because they lost the election. Lincoln put down this violent rebellion. SLavery was ended NOT by the war, but by the 13th Amendment.

[BullshipDetector]

Lincoln said slave owns should be kicked to death -- TO DEATH. Sound like he wasn't against slavery?

Lincoln also said either the Union would go, or slavery would go dumb fuck. Sound like he was for slavery staying dumb fuck?

Lincoln personally wrote the EP, and then PERSONALLY got the 13th Amendment passed.

Do you know anyone else that did that dumb fuck?

Also, Lincoln fought the war until slavery was dead dead dead. You still think he wasn't against slavery you fucking idiot?

[CJurasin]

@BullshipDetector The South was TIRED of being dictated to by the North....and that was the BIGGEST argument they had with the North. Slavery was the "icing on the cake" as far as war was concerned.....and has now become the FOCAL POINT of the "War of Northern Agression" as it was really called by the South back then. Read old (prior to "politically correct" BS text books) and learn!!!

[BullshipDetector]

@Jurasin you stupid fuck. What a moron. Tell me, what did the North dictate to the South? Go on you fucking retard, tell us? You stupid shit, the South had been making ultimatums for decades you stupid shit -- and getting the NOrth to cave in. Learn some history you stupid shit.

What did the North demand of the South y ou fucking idiot. GO on, you stupid shit.

Fucktard. The South were scum sucking pigs, go read the SOUTHS demands you stupid fuck. Learn some real history

[galoon]

@CJurasin The South wasn't being dictated to by the North in any way. It was more accurate the other way around--the Southern states had more representation and power in the House than they should have had due to the 3/5 Clause, which allowed them to count their "property" toward their populations. The South usually had the President and the Supreme Court on its side as well, up until Lincoln's election. On top of that, the big Southern planters who controlled the government (con't)

[galoon]

@CJurasin (con't) were able to get their plantations assessed at less than their actual value for taxation which meant they never paid their fair share into the South's infrastructure. Yet these same people were the ones complaining about higher tariffs. They seceded when they saw they weren't going to continue controlling the government. Spoiling for a fight, they attacked a Federal installation and then called it "Northern aggression" when Lincoln called for troops as a result. Curious logic.

[chandlerdakid]

@12FlyMe What a crock of shit. Mosby never said that. You idiot!

[12FlyMe]

@chandlerdakid yes, he did, let me send you an exact quote, so you can google it and confirm it.

Plus, of course, the South said it was slavery loudly and proudly at the time. Google Southern Ultimatums -- they issued five ultimatums, and SOuthern newspapers reported them with great glee. All give ultimatums were for the SPREAD of slavery, AGAINST the will of the states and the people in the the states.

Go learn real history. Google Southern Ultimatums, and see the email I send

[101airborne07]

@12FlyMe everybody has a opinion yeah ? Just because John Singleton Mosby thought this does that mean its the truth ? gosh.
