bodies piled high on both sides of this conflict and most dont even know the real cause of it, but suffice to say that Had general lee not lost stonewall Jackson after the battle of...dang I can never remember the name Fredricksburg I believe this country of ours could Be 2 or more independent though closely tied states.
@TheLegosoldier100 one of my favorite parts after the war was when Grants presidential administration was marred by crooked, rotten political affairs including but not limited to: Black Friday scandal, the Belknap scandal, Credit Mobilier scandal , and the Whiskey Ring scandal. Some leader...
how OLD are you @euell,,,you said "we",,,I do not think you were there,,and I'm sure if you were you would of been under a log with a white flag in your hand
You know, it's just funny how some people think that the south lost the war between the states. We really didn't loose nor did we surrender, that was Bobby Lee who surrendered the Army of Northern Virginia. The rest of us were still wanting to fight, but, the Yankees went home so we did too. If they want to restart again, then, I think that we might still be able to give then a tussell.
@wolfraven9 Yes, the South did lose the war, and yes the South did surrender. The South will never try to start another war because they're still coping from losing the last one! I love how you use the term "Yankee" when that was a term the British used to make fun of our ancestors during the Revoultionary War. Stop sucking British dick, you un-American piece of shit.
@Naggachomp lmao your a fool.. Yankee doodle was play to southern boys drummed out ou the army... Yes the army surrendered because Lee did not want a guerilla war. Un American is selling out your neighbors and home for 13 dollars amonth then half way through you "change" the justifcation of conflict to be that of morals and anti slave yet hold slaves in 2 northern states still not freed by the emancipation proclimation. So yes the brits nailed it on the head Yankee
as far as the remark by this "sarge" idiot about Robert E Lee being one of the reasons the south lost shows he doesnt know much about historical fact..In FACT if it werent for Lee the war wouldnt have lasted as long..his brilliant generalship and the undying loyalty of his men caused them to still follow him while the confederacy was virtually falling to pieces..He needs to go study a few years before he makes remarks about something he knows not of.
@dmedman50 Hey that's what the banksters want! They've always wanted to control us by dividing us. They do it today by funding both dems and repubs. The private banks wouldn't have it any other way, that way they can make one side fight the other and NOTHING gets done except we all take up sides, hate (our cousins and brothers) who have always like you I'm sure too, want the U.S.s to be strong, free and defended by strong individuals protecting themselves, their family, & our sacred constitution
@deanfarry What are you talking about? Last I checked banks don't fund politicians. Also last I checked it was the Progressives in Washington that want to tear apart our Constitution and take our freedoms one by one until the Federal Government have complete control over us. The R and D don't matter anymore, all that matters is are you willing to defend America and what it stands for or are you willing to destroy it for your own misdeeds?
I'v shed tears for the confederate and union troops who fought during the civil war,Brothers of our nation deceived into killing one another,for what,The banks,the rich families who now own our nation.My great great grandfather fought with the 12th kentucky cavalry,There were two units both named as the 12th ky cavalry,one north one south,My great grandfather fought on the southern side during the war,His unit was under the command of Nathan Bedford Forrest
It's too bad that the Jerks that control finance (even back then) pitted us against ourselves by running an 18 year campaign to get us to hate each other, it divides today just like the jerks wanted, for America to be weakened from inside which they have really succeeded to do by gun laws, and many other Globalist NAZI-like tactics designed to have us point fingers at each other, instead of rooting out the squirrely little chicken-necked bastards and giving them both barrels!
well what i was trying to say i always hear 10 union to 1 confederate and how the south shoulda won.but the south didnt win plain and simple.the suth lost because the south didnt have sea ports or industry.....well most of trhe ports were blocked..........but we whlooped ya in the end
The only reason that the south lost is because Arkansas (my home state ;)) was lost. The reason that AR was lost was that SOUTH CARLINIAN armies (not Arkansasan) did not like each other so they didn't cooroperate, so they attacked each other (practily) and so we lost 1 battle in AR and that was the south's downfall. Just because 2 armies didn't like each other so we lost.
@joesky43 Actually what turned the tide of the civil war to the favor of the north was the lost of the Mississipi River, they split the South in half by doing that and made the Scott's Snake able to hurt the supply lines in the South.
@joesky43 not entirely true.. the loss of Southern territory period... Most of Missouri,Virginia, Kentucky, then Tennessee, Mississippi.. Major cities like New Orleans, Vicksburg, Tupelo, Atlanta and so on etc.. and the western confederacy (MO. AK. TX.) being severed from the rest of the Southern country were some of the main attributes of what provided to the downfall.. (Winfield Scotts Anaconda plan) finally worked..
Both generals, Brig. Irvin McDowell and Brig. P.G.T. Beauregard, felt the pressures of their brethren clamoring for an initial, decisive victory. But when Johnston showed up to reinforce the Confederates, it gave a little known Colonel from VMI with a brigade of Virginians under his command a chance to prove Southern fortitude. While Bobby Lee's sword and Jeff Davis' hat were miles away at the time, Stuart and Jackson were quite prompt.
well the books do tell one thing thats true us yankees won the war yall southners got your asses whooped at gettysburg and all the way back to virginia
@bbygrl85848 not quite.. a true student of history will realize that July 4 1863 was what is known as the 'high water mark" of the Confederacy.. on the same date Vicksburg was also lost to Union forces.. so to put it in proper perspective.. "The 6 month Rebellion" as it was called, from and of a people who didnt have even the industrial capacity to make a skillet at the wars begining..lasted 4..years and cost thousands of lives and millions in treasury.. id say the whole country got whooped
@bbygrl85848 I suppose that in your mind this is the reason Meade followed up his supposed "victory" so aggressively? Truth is, the Gettysburg campaign was a huge raid that could have ended the war. By fighting to a stalemate at Gettysburg the yankees merely ended Lee's raid. The war continued for nearly two more years and several more "ass whoopin's" for the North (see Cold Harbor, Wilderness, Red River Campaign etc)
@bbygrl85848 Actually if you call winning the war with all that population,money,armament,and so called good old yankee inginuity and taking 4 years to do it against an outnumbered.ill equipped,half starved southern army go aherad and do so..go read in your politically correct books..i wouldnt wipe my arse on them..if you need a real history lesson sometime i will give you one.
@rstawarz111Yes, your "bad". You need to educate yourself before posting. The Battles of Manassas (known as Bull Run in the North, after the nearest body of water, Bull Run Creek) WERE NOT fought against the British!!! First Manassas, July 21, 1861, was the first major battle of the Civil War, with over 5000 total casualties, and was a stunning Southern victory. The South won an even larger battle, nearly 20,000 total casualties, just over a year later, on that same field, August 28-30, 1862.
@okcollins must be a southener: "your and idiot" he says. Too funny. It seems painfully obvious that only an inbred cracker cretin would be so illiterate he couldn't form a simple sentence. But at least he spelled "idiot" right - he's probably been called that so many times in his life it's one of the few words he is entirely familiar with.......
Amazing to see the ignorant racist crackers on here offering up their apologia for America's former enemy, the slave-holding, sister-fucking, toothless, knuckle-dragging south. Today they are merely the most uneducated, fattest, unhealthiest, shortest-lifespan, stupidly religious anti-american semi-upright simians in the country. Yeah, go Rebs, yo daddy needs his back rubbed by little Jennie agin...........

@trey4700 neither did 92% of the Rebels that fought the war.. they didnt own anyone... simply put... they just werent gonna be told what to do by the Government..
"Thank you!" For the video! Back in 1973; I walked three different times in one summer the two lane road leading out of Manassas at 1:00AM to 2:00AM no street lights right into the darkness of night I walked though the Battlefield staying on the two lane road. They're a photograph of a stone-house in this video; at that house I would make a left turn towards Gainesville were I was renting a motel room. "Strange sounds of men camping & horse's & chains coming from the woods one night I heard!"
@JR28951 Uhm NO it didnt.. the first General Order No. 11 was the title of an order issued by Major-General Ulysses S. Grant (drunk) on December 17, 1862, during the American Civil War. It became notorious for its instruction for the expulsion of all Jews in his military district comprising areas of Tennessee, Mississippi, and Kentucky. The order was issued as part of a campaign against a black market in Southern cotton, which Grant thought was being run "mostly by Jews
@JR28951 General Order No. 11 (1863) Union Army directive issued during the American Civil War forcing the evacuation of rural areas in 4 counties in western MO. The order, issued by Union Gen T. Ewing, affected all rural residents regardless of their allegiance. Those who could prove loyalty to the Union were permitted to stay in the affected area, but had to leave their farms and move to communities near military outposts. Those who could not had to leave period. Get your facts straight..
@Araido1968 it's known as that here too (Virginia). And yes, it is largely accurate with the exception of the mention of Robert E. Lee. At this point in the war he was quite unkown to the average Confederate, much less Union, soldier so the line "Would you rather have Jeff Davis' hat or the sword of Bobby Lee" is, infact, innacurate
@MarkBowes1 that fact is of course is correct.. he was refferred to as "Granny" Lee by the troops at the time.. his duties had alot to do with procurrment, logistics and planning at the time... this battle however "made" P.G.T. Beuragard.. but as P.G.T. was not a favorite of (crony) of Davis he was shipped West..
@MarkBowes1 Yes sir, I was for awhile (not anymore due to financial constraints I was a memeber of the Missouri 8th & 15th Confederate Cavalry unit(s).. when we had to play the Yankees we chose the most reprehensible Union unit we could ... Jennisons 7th union cavalry Redlegs..
@Araido1968 Nice. I'm in the 41st VA. Trying to make as many as I can but those are limited by both financial strains and college....wait those are one and the same
@MarkBowes1 Wrong. He was given the option of being commander of the Union Army before he resigned his post to protect his land. He was handed the Confederate Army and was well known by most officers on both sides of the conflict
@scualabamafan Yes I know he was offered command of the Union Army and that he turned it down. I also know that he was well known to many of the officers of both Armies, if not for his time at West Point then for his service in the Mexican War. And I also know that he was given command of the Virginia forces after she seceded. After the integration of Virginia forces into the Confederate Army, he was promoted to a full general and given a command in western Virginia and, after outright
@scualabamafan failure there he was given command of the "Department of South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida." When I said that he was not in command of Confederate forces at the Battle of Manassas, however, I was right. He was not appointed commander of the forces that would fight there until after the wounding of Gen. Johnston during the Peninsula Campaign in 1862.
slavery was not a big issue at all, Robert E Lee didnt belive in slavery himself one of the very very few white people who didnt....Lincoln would have rather have slavery than not.at the time south seceded slavery wasent illeagle in the U.S. they seceded because the government was making laws rules and regulations that would have ruind the south, not only that but the south set the slaves free before the end of the war...that didn stop sherman from burning atlanta....you terrorist basterds
First off slavery was part of the reason but not the WHOLE reason lincoln was trying to control the south as well as make them pay higher taxes so yankees wouldn't have to. Union soldiers greatly out numbered Confederates. Also if the union is so great why did they burn southern homes atleast our soldiers occupied homes but left them intact when they moved on. If it had been more equal numbers we would have won we already held a good many victories. The books don't tell both sides.
The books don't backup your BS :) good to know aint it ? Burning and stuff ? Did not happen under southern command ? What does your nurse feed you to make that statement ? bah I hate ppl like you desecrating a part of history while you have no proof or even worse give a black marck to one side and try to blindside the exact opposite. Nowadays it's treason.
@MrRizikoo The books don't back up her "BS"? Have you never HEARD of Sherman's March to the Sea? He 'desecrated' Georgia! General Sherman burned his way from Atlanta to Savannah! Do you know how many miles that is? And it was totally uncalled for. I'm not saying that Southern soldiers were angels, but the Union took some things too far. RebelGirl2001 is right, the books don't tell both sides. You won't find a history book out there that has the Civil War written from the South's point of view.
@RebelGirl2001 you are completely correct, Lincoln said that if he could preserve the Union and keep slavery he would. the sole reason the Union invaded the South was because of the fact that the South left the Union, not because the South had slaves. and at the time there were more southern homes that did not have slaves thatn those that did.
A full 2 years into the civil war before the abolishment of slavery was proposed, so the must have been different reasons than wwe were taught in school. Research it and see
In the Revolutionary War America fought for 2 things. They fought to get rid of the taxes and to keep their slaves... In the Civil War the South fought for 2 things.............. anybody see a pattern starting to emerge???? its the victor who writes the history books. thats the only difference
well I'm from the good southern part of the country.The thing is we had better genranls such as Robert E. Lee and Stonewall jackson. b ut you yankees didn't really have a plan.We were smarter.I think the confederate union should've won the war.
@JacktheBricker You did have the better generals, but the north had more men and more factories. That did it. The north could stand the constant bloody leak, the south, for all its courage, could not.
So riddle me this, all you slavery people. Why would the Capitol of the Confederacy (Richmond) not secede until AFTER Lincoln threatened them? I submit to you the war was not over slavery, it was over the size and power of the Federal government. The States' Right that the South desired wasn't slavery, either, it was the right to be governed BY your state and not the Federal Union OF States. I understand this is harder to understand, but fighting over the size of government STILL rages today.
@3MusketeersMovies Yes, I've heard those statements that Lincoln made. And to my interpretation, he was talking out of both sides of his mouth. The man did not care whether slavery ended or continued. He also had some former slaves invited to the White House and when they were visiting, he basically insulted them by telling them that they were not and never would be equal to the white man. He merely used the issue of slavery to further sentiments. My question, why 1863 instead of 1861 then?
The north during the time had become very arrogant towards the South. The North was trying to tell the South how they must live. No matter where your from, no matter what you are, where you are, who you are, none of that matters, when you try to tell somebody how they must live it`s inviting war. That was why the Southern states suceded, by doing so they couldn`t be controlled. If anyone came to my door telling me how I must live you`d have to fight me. I`m sure everyone else feels the same way
@DoubleVisionandco well, the south was part of the same country, so the "north" (or, you know, basically the president and congress) had just as much right to set laws for the south as it did for the north, east, and west, as well as any U.S. colonies, that said, though I agree there are limits, but if you follow laws your basically living the way the government is telling you how to live, though sadly many wars basically started because someone decided they didnt like being told what to do,
@MechaShadowV2 Thanks for the insight and your perfectly right, it is a lose lose situation. Mostly because it never should have escalated to that level but stubborn people refuse to back off and the final solution comes down to war. However, the guys that remained arrogant and wouldn`t back down on being stubborn they don`t have to fight, they would rather send someone else to do it, all they care about is victory. What good is victory when no matter the outcome it`s a empty victory?
@DoubleVisionandco Great song that let's the yankees know that us southern boys don't give up and we win battles. If this should happen again all you liberal punks would not win this time. Many lives could be lost again so do not let it happen. Be ware the south is strong and a lot of our military is part of the south.Beware
@DoubleVisionandco And that's why it was NOT a civil war; a civil war is unrest in a single country, but this was too countries fighting. The real name is, The War of Northern Aggression.
@DoubleVisionandco The government already tells you how to live though. They say you can't kill people, steal things, or other things they say is illegal.
@Warpedpixel051 Yeah and the sad part is, while they`re telling us we can`t do it, they`re doing it, and they`re doing it on your tax dollars. I think in this case, now days when the government passes a law it goes for everybody in every state. Before the civil war, they set new rules on the south that didn`t apply to the north and that`s what caused the problem.
civil war was stupid,man has been in bondage since the beginning of time.blacks today should be thankful the british got them out of africa because they all would be dead from disease
@RZMaslic slavery had very little to do with it. The north was steam rolling the south with taxes and the south wanted the the federal government to stay out of it and let them live there owns lives but lincoln wouldn't listen and had to be a tyrant
That was the issue that was "the straw that broke the camel's back", but to the average man who fought, the general threat of Big Government was the dragon that was to their St. George. It is easy to, years later, put a simplistic face on the conflict and on the time and culture itself, but it is also inaccurate and unfair to the American people both then and now.
some harsh comments in this post!! I live in the north and had ancestors that fought in the war between the states. The issue of slavery was only brought into the war to gain support for the north. kscavalrynut1 said it all, but I would add that even with the Norths advantage in technology and logistics, the south put up a hell of a fight and could have won the war.

EVEN THE MOST EDUCATED NEGRO HISTORIANS WILL SWEAR UP AND DOWN ALL DAY LONG THAT THE CIVIL WAR WAS OVER SLAVERY. THEY HAVE BEEN INDOCTURNATED INTO BELIVING THIS AND IT HAS BEEN INGRAINED AS A NEARLY RELIGIOUS STAPLE THEY MUST CLING TO ! ......... Chucky Knows Stuff and likes to share !
'I tried all in my power to avert this war. I saw it coming, for twelve years I worked night and day to prevent it, but I could not. The North was mad and blind; it would not let us govern ourselves, and so the war came, and now it must go on... unless you acknowledge our right to self government. We are not fighting for slavery. We are fighting for Independence, and that, or extermination.' - President Jefferson Davis
"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. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union" Abraham Lincoln 1862
Also have you ever wondered why some southern ppl say "I wish they knew the truth of the war" As if to insinuate that all the books now are biased against the poor Southerners and their culture? I mean how come the loosers always say its biased and not the truth when we had over 140 years to look at everything? Seriously after 140 years the history books now are still against the poor southerners who only wanted to keep their property? Always a interesting thing to see.
Slavery, taxes, tariffs, laws, codes, states right vs federal rights were all reasons why the South Succeeded. let get one thing straight, not all ovf those were equal, If you think Slavery was ONLY a small part then you're wrong. It was a very big reason. Dont give me this bs about taxes and laws, Southerners wanted to keep the right to own slaves, which is why they put it in thir constitution many times. Face it slavery was a very big part, now get over it.
Look guys, we will probably never know the true reasons why anything happened back then. History books are biased and we aren't really taught true history. You can sit there and debat till the cow jumps over the moon but bottom line, no one knows! At least ballads like these get the mind spinning and wanting to find out more. I think that was the purpose of his songs along with being great tunes.
Lincoln fought the war, firstly, to preserve the Union. Yes, as a Northern Republican, he was an abolitionist, but he didn't want to drive the Border States of Maryland, Kentucky, Missouri, and Delaware to the waiting arms of the Confederacy. That is why he countermanded Fremont's 'Emancipation Proclamation' in 1861, and why he put up with the idiocy of George McClellan for so long - He thought McClellan would win the war, while still being a Conservative Democrat.
ok for all you people who think LINCON COULD DO NO WRONG this is what he said about blacks "I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races, that I am not or ever have been in favor of making voter or jurors of the Negores, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people" now there a heck of alot more to that speech but I can't put it all up here in one post so go read it youself.
whats the point ? he didnt want to free the slaves. Smart choice at that time and smart choice to fight to free them later. Dont up the point to that a war was started to free slaves, that would have been stupid. He didnt care about slaves and most of the north or south did. Southern point was ( democrats) if you free the slaves white ppl wont get work. Its not Abe its the ppl and that still goes today. Abe wanted black ppl out .he send them to Haiti .. but they died .. LOL
Fucking Johnny Rebs telling me to learn up on history by saying their great Southern inbred nation is about states rights? HELL NO! Read the goddamned CSA constitution. The CSA's own Vice President stated, "Its foundations are laid, its cornerstone rests upon the great truth that the Negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery, subordination to the superior race, is his natural and moral condition."
@Bmanstudios101 uh they arent equal hence the millions of mexican and blacks that fill the prison system and yet the white gangs run the prisons with them being a minority lol
@Southernjuggalo63 Basing your views on your name, 'Juggalo' forces me to assume that you are an insane clown pussy. Based on this, I can see where your skewed views of the world come from
@Bmanstudios101 and i can see how your skewed mind on history will not let you admit what history shows that if the white race feels threatened it is more violent and more cruel dont believe me look in a history book sometime lol haha
who knows, I wasnt there troy from arkansas. I damned sure aint a yant my ancestry goes back to 2 cavalry soldjers, one was Captain Charles a hamilton. from georgia, the other was Alfred j. hamilton from Arkansas! just dont call me a yankee!
terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race. I say upon this occasion I do not perceive that because the white man is to have the superior position the negro should be denied everything." by: Abraham Lincoln
"I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in anyway the social and political equality of the white and black races - that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on (next comment)

Slavery GREW from 2.5 million in 1840 to 3.2 million in 1850 to 4 million in 1860, the confederacy seceded over slavery and declared it the "cornerstone" of their entire nation, and the CSA constitution barred any and all laws limiting slavery in any way, at any time, FOREVER. Only a sick fucking animal wishes black people could have been enslaved and raped until 1900, but in fact slavery would have lasted until at least the 1960s. MLK and Rosa Parks definitely would've been enslaved. No thanks.
Your beloved slavery never should have ended and you should be allowed to own and rape black people today because there was a slave ship with a US flag more than 50 years before the Civil War? Really? Is that really the best you can do, shithead?
Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!
What's next? The Allies should have surrendered and helped in the Holocaust because England and America had anti-Semites in 1890? Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!! What a fucking retard!!!
bodies piled high on both sides of this conflict and most dont even know the real cause of it, but suffice to say that Had general lee not lost stonewall Jackson after the battle of...dang I can never remember the name Fredricksburg I believe this country of ours could Be 2 or more independent though closely tied states.

as far as the remark by this "sarge" idiot about Robert E Lee being one of the reasons the south lost shows he doesnt know much about historical fact..In FACT if it werent for Lee the war wouldnt have lasted as long..his brilliant generalship and the undying loyalty of his men caused them to still follow him while the confederacy was virtually falling to pieces..He needs to go study a few years before he makes remarks about something he knows not of.

@dmedman50 Hey that's what the banksters want! They've always wanted to control us by dividing us. They do it today by funding both dems and repubs. The private banks wouldn't have it any other way, that way they can make one side fight the other and NOTHING gets done except we all take up sides, hate (our cousins and brothers) who have always like you I'm sure too, want the U.S.s to be strong, free and defended by strong individuals protecting themselves, their family, & our sacred constitution

@deanfarry What are you talking about? Last I checked banks don't fund politicians. Also last I checked it was the Progressives in Washington that want to tear apart our Constitution and take our freedoms one by one until the Federal Government have complete control over us. The R and D don't matter anymore, all that matters is are you willing to defend America and what it stands for or are you willing to destroy it for your own misdeeds?

The only reason that the south lost is because Arkansas (my home state ;)) was lost. The reason that AR was lost was that SOUTH CARLINIAN armies (not Arkansasan) did not like each other so they didn't cooroperate, so they attacked each other (practily) and so we lost 1 battle in AR and that was the south's downfall. Just because 2 armies didn't like each other so we lost.
ps: ARKANSAS IS AWESOME!

Both generals, Brig. Irvin McDowell and Brig. P.G.T. Beauregard, felt the pressures of their brethren clamoring for an initial, decisive victory. But when Johnston showed up to reinforce the Confederates, it gave a little known Colonel from VMI with a brigade of Virginians under his command a chance to prove Southern fortitude. While Bobby Lee's sword and Jeff Davis' hat were miles away at the time, Stuart and Jackson were quite prompt.

@bbygrl85848 I suppose that in your mind this is the reason Meade followed up his supposed "victory" so aggressively? Truth is, the Gettysburg campaign was a huge raid that could have ended the war. By fighting to a stalemate at Gettysburg the yankees merely ended Lee's raid. The war continued for nearly two more years and several more "ass whoopin's" for the North (see Cold Harbor, Wilderness, Red River Campaign etc)

@rstawarz111Yes, your "bad". You need to educate yourself before posting. The Battles of Manassas (known as Bull Run in the North, after the nearest body of water, Bull Run Creek) WERE NOT fought against the British!!! First Manassas, July 21, 1861, was the first major battle of the Civil War, with over 5000 total casualties, and was a stunning Southern victory. The South won an even larger battle, nearly 20,000 total casualties, just over a year later, on that same field, August 28-30, 1862.

First off slavery was part of the reason but not the WHOLE reason lincoln was trying to control the south as well as make them pay higher taxes so yankees wouldn't have to. Union soldiers greatly out numbered Confederates. Also if the union is so great why did they burn southern homes atleast our soldiers occupied homes but left them intact when they moved on. If it had been more equal numbers we would have won we already held a good many victories. The books don't tell both sides.

He also had some former slaves invited to the White House and when they were visiting, he basically insulted them by telling them that they were not and never would be equal to the white man. He merely used the issue of slavery to further sentiments. My question, why 1863 instead of 1861 then?

The north during the time had become very arrogant towards the South. The North was trying to tell the South how they must live. No matter where your from, no matter what you are, where you are, who you are, none of that matters, when you try to tell somebody how they must live it`s inviting war. That was why the Southern states suceded, by doing so they couldn`t be controlled. If anyone came to my door telling me how I must live you`d have to fight me.

That was the issue that was "the straw that broke the camel's back", but to the average man who fought, the general threat of Big Government was the dragon that was to their St. George.

Also have you ever wondered why some southern ppl say "I wish they knew the truth of the war" As if to insinuate that all the books now are biased against the poor Southerners and their culture? I mean how come the loosers always say its biased and not the truth when we had over 140 years to look at everything? Seriously after 140 years the history books now are still against the poor southerners who only wanted to keep their property? Always a interesting thing to see.

Slavery, taxes, tariffs, laws, codes, states right vs federal rights were all reasons why the South Succeeded. let get one thing straight, not all ovf those were equal, If you think Slavery was ONLY a small part then you're wrong. It was a very big reason. Dont give me this bs about taxes and laws, Southerners wanted to keep the right to own slaves, which is why they put it in thir constitution many times. Face it slavery was a very big part, now get over it.

Look guys, we will probably never know the true reasons why anything happened back then. History books are biased and we aren't really taught true history. You can sit there and debat till the cow jumps over the moon but bottom line, no one knows! At least ballads like these get the mind spinning and wanting to find out more. I think that was the purpose of his songs along with being great tunes.

Lincoln fought the war, firstly, to preserve the Union. Yes, as a Northern Republican, he was an abolitionist, but he didn't want to drive the Border States of Maryland, Kentucky, Missouri, and Delaware to the waiting arms of the Confederacy. That is why he countermanded Fremont's 'Emancipation Proclamation' in 1861, and why he put up with the idiocy of George McClellan for so long - He thought McClellan would win the war, while still being a Conservative Democrat.

ok for all you people who think LINCON COULD DO NO WRONG this is what he said about blacks "I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races, that I am not or ever have been in favor of making voter or jurors of the Negores, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people" now there a heck of alot more to that speech but I can't put it all up here in one post so go read it youself.

@thehistory24
whats the point ? he didnt want to free the slaves. Smart choice at that time and smart choice to fight to free them later. Dont up the point to that a war was started to free slaves, that would have been stupid. He didnt care about slaves and most of the north or south did. Southern point was ( democrats) if you free the slaves white ppl wont get work. Its not Abe its the ppl and that still goes today. Abe wanted black ppl out .he send them to Haiti .. but they died .. LOL

Fucking Johnny Rebs telling me to learn up on history by saying their great Southern inbred nation is about states rights? HELL NO! Read the goddamned CSA constitution. The CSA's own Vice President stated, "Its foundations are laid, its cornerstone rests upon the great truth that the Negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery, subordination to the superior race, is his natural and moral condition."

@Southernjuggalo63 Basing your views on your name, 'Juggalo' forces me to assume that you are an insane clown pussy. Based on this, I can see where your skewed views of the world come from

@Bmanstudios101 and i can see how your skewed mind on history will not let you admit what history shows that if the white race feels threatened it is more violent and more cruel dont believe me look in a history book sometime lol haha

terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race. I say upon this occasion I do not perceive that because the white man is to have the superior position the negro should be denied everything." by: Abraham Lincoln
(1809-1865) 16th US President

Slavery GREW from 2.5 million in 1840 to 3.2 million in 1850 to 4 million in 1860, the confederacy seceded over slavery and declared it the "cornerstone" of their entire nation, and the CSA constitution barred any and all laws limiting slavery in any way, at any time, FOREVER. Only a sick fucking animal wishes black people could have been enslaved and raped until 1900, but in fact slavery would have lasted until at least the 1960s. MLK and Rosa Parks definitely would've been enslaved. No thanks.

Your beloved slavery never should have ended and you should be allowed to own and rape black people today because there was a slave ship with a US flag more than 50 years before the Civil War? Really? Is that really the best you can do, shithead?
Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!
What's next? The Allies should have surrendered and helped in the Holocaust because England and America had anti-Semites in 1890? Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!! What a fucking retard!!!
