  • @donkeybuttpin123 Where does sopa, and acta fit into that?

  • DOWN WITH THE TRAITORS AND UP WITH THE STARS

  • Why isn't this song more widely known? I can't even count the number of times I've heard Stars and Stripes Forever, Your a Grand Ole Flag, and all the other crappy songs. But this one is magnificent.

  • Down with the Eagle and up with the Cross...

  • @360Nomad So death to the confederacy right . The Christians were the north the south was Atheist

  • Comment removed

  • @MrTThorne93 The Ture christians the south was very protostant so death to them

  • You civil war, and confederate haters - go educate yourself about the civil war. If you did, you would know that that war was not about slavery, but about being attacked by your own government and fighting for your home and your freedom. Every one of you would fight for that. The slavery issue came up much later in the war. Abolishing slavery was a wonderful thing, but not the basis of the war. There were black troops that volunteered and fought for the south also.

  • @earthworkr2 You mean educate us about the WAR OF SOUTHERN AGRESSION . The south waged a millitant Jihad against the Unionst  Christians . The War of southern agression was a war to conquer the Union states of America the USA by the inbred confederates and their terrorist officers . THe Union Forever Down with the traitors up with the Stars

  • Shiity

  • This should be our national anthem!!!!!

  • I love America, may we always have a few brave men to protect her so Liberty lasts for all time.

  • God Bless America!

  • LONG LIVE THE NORTH!!!

  • I kind of like the confederate version better. "Down with the tyrants, raise up the cross". Though I still support the Union. It's just that our politicians suck. Politicians shouldn't get paid. They should get housing and food (nothing extravagant). And have to fly US airways (or Delta, etc) like the rest of us. Without all of the perks, the greedy would leave, and those who actually want to serve the county would run.

  • Proud that my little grand-son is American -- great country that I pray will get back to the principles of Truth that it was founded upon.The people deserve no less! If only we could hear this rallying cry in the streets of America's cities and towns once more...time to rally 'round the Flag of Freedom before we are all slaves. No more half-truths and fake principles predicated upon a pack of lies; no more false wars in the name of justice and liberty. Time to stand up for FREEDOM everywhere!

  • @savinobratton he killed innocents and encouraged that slaves kill their master. i bet you dont think osama bin laden is a terrorist either.

  • @branman864 Slaves rising up to kill their master? Is that so different from what the American revolution was fought for? Was this country not founded on freedom? Did our founding fathers no kill for it?

    War is a messy business, and blood is the price we pay for what we believe is right. Were the American revolutionaries terrorists? Was our carpet bombing of Japan and Germany terrorism? Are drone strikes terrorism? How many innocents have we killed?

  • @BadLuck765 What war took place in 1859? What war was it that made John Brown even "accidently" kill a free black? What war made John Brown raid Federal property in an attempt to murder?

  • @BadLuck765 And yes, you are half right. It was not terrorism to carpet bomb japan and germany and to drop atomic bombs, it was war crimes.

  • @BadLuck765 If John Brown is not a terrorist because he used blood and "blood is the price we pay for what we believe is right" is Osama Bin Laden not a terrorist, since he faught for what he believed was right?

  • @branman864 Terrorist means, very broadly defined, "to use fear as a weapon." More narrowly defined, it means guerrilla groups who attack things with hidden explosives, or other unconventional tactics to create fear or panic. By definition, Osama bin Laden is a terrorist.

    There is a semantics difference between "terrorism" and "war crimes," but they're essentially the same thing.

    Also, having slaves rise up and kill their master, I fail to see why that's so terrible.

  • @alexf711 Keep telling yourself that, revisionist. Or you could take the words of Confederate Vice President Stephens:

    "Its (confederate govn't) foundations are laid, its cornerstone rests upon the great truth that the Negro is not equal to the white man. Slavery — subordination to the superior race — is his natural and normal condition. This, our new government, is the first, in the history of the world, based upon this great and moral truth."

  • @crixxxxxxxxx Hard words to listen to. Hard words to swallow. The TRUTH usually is. Chew hard boys 'n' girls, and swallow. Then RALLY 'ROUND THE FLAG, ' cause the battle still rages.

  • If this and Battle Hymn of the Republic and John Brown's Body don't give you goosebumps, you're a piece of shit.

  • @savinobratton John Brown was a terrorist.

  • @branman864 John Brown was the greatest American who ever lived.

  • Stirring music indeed! Lincoln said that was the abolition of slavery was not his intention. His error was to try to Force a Union that had been brought about by Mutual and Peaceful, though impassioned compromise. The decision whether the states had the right to secede belonged to the Supreme Court, not to the President. Lincoln's terrible decision caused the death of some 620,000 Americans, the worst war in our history. The south was destroyed economically by Sherman and Sheridan etc.

  • Listen to the Southern version!!! It is just as good, if not better. I ,in fact, have memorized it.

  • @ruthieann1 Southern version's too soft. It doesn't nearly a vigorous as Dixie or Bonnie Blue Flag.

  • When this megalomaniacal attempt failed, as predicted by pre war planners, at the last minute he switched and tried to follow WPO-3. But by then, the defense was in chaos -- in shambles and Bataan could not be adequately stocked with supplies to hold out as planned.

  • Wrong. War Plan Orange 3 called for MacArthur to hold on to the Bataan Peninsula for 6 to 9 months. It called for an IMMEDIATE withdrawal to Bataan upon the start of war with Japan. MacArthur refused to follow it initially. Instead, he thought he could defeat the Japs in the field via his numerically superior army of Philipinos, supported by some elite units and by his US forces.

  • Hey thumbs up if you have to memorize this for Sword of Freedom. ♥

  • DOWN WITH THE TRAITORS, UP WITH THE STARS!

  • DOWN WITH THE BANKERS!!!! UP WITH TRUE AMERICANS!!!!!!

  • @360Nomad DOWN WITH THE BANKERS! UP WITH US ALL!

  • NOW THAT IS A BATTLE CRY!!! RALLY MY FRIENDS RALLY!!!!

  • DOWN WITH THE SEDITIOUS AND TREASONOUS TEA PARTY!

    FOR THE REPUBLIC!

    THE UNION FOREVER!

  • @WS1739 obviously you know nothing about the tea party. They wish to preserve the Republic and love this country. They want government limited not to abolish it. They are peacefully protesting and petition the government for a redress of grievances, as stated in the 1st amendment. They are for the Union not against it and wish to see this Republic flourish.

  • @starmaster40 Threatening violence is sedition, not patriotism. Don't retreat, reload! Second amendment remedies!

    The tea party aren't patriots. They're seditious scum. Do you even know what Sedition is?!

    Look it up.

    Glenn Beck, Fox News, and the rest of them are seditionists. It leaves real conservatives who love this country out in the cold, and makes the spineless democrats seem like the only option to some people.

    The Tea Party is one of the worst things ever to happen to America.

  • @WS1739 that is main steam media bull and you have been brainwashed. The Tea Party wants to get back to the roots of the foundation of the Constitution. They don’t want to break away they don’t want a revolution; they are just a guard for the tyranny that can came from government, even ours. They want to preserve the Republic they want to see it thrive and they want to pass it on to the next generation.

  • @starmaster40 And they intend to accomplish how? By nearing causing the U.S. Government to default over some tax increases?

  • Comment removed

  • @360Nomad by makeng sure the groverment starts acting like responsable adults with our money. You cant just spend spend spend. You need to work within a budget and congress is not doing that. Its time to cut them off from thier funds. There are consiqences for for not being responsable and WE the People need to take are share of the resposiblity and get rid of those in congress who want to act like the elite and forget they work for us. Banks wont give me more $ if I actted the way thy do.

  • @starmaster40 It's not responsible to VOTE FOR THE SPENDING and then refuse to pay the bills, but that's what the repubs have done.

  • They would hand us over to the Rothschild before they would allow us to be free to conduct our affairs as a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Condemn us to traitors gold? I think not, I'll meet you any time any place on the field of battle to defend the principle of National Sovereignty and control over our Constitutional Credit system, DOWN WITH TREASON!!!

  • I agree!

  • @Thx1138d Thanks! Fight the good fight, brother!

  • FILL OUR VACANT RANKS WITH A MILLION FREE MEN MORE!!!!

  • Lol, I remember in fourth grade they had us sing this version and the confederate one.

  • and may God bless Her!!

  • The Union Forever!

  • McA was ordered out of Corregidor by Marshall, who had hated him since McA had filed an efficiency report that said that Marshall should not be given command of more than a batallion. He considered resigning commission and taking up arms as a private, but was dissuaded by staff. McA was very complex, very bright, and a winner. Truman was scared of him politically, and fired him to keep him from getting the Rep. nom for Pres. Instead we got Ike, who McA said was the best clerk he ever had,.......

  • @aceeddyjones MacArthur would not have been able to been successful in Europe. Each tool to its job. Ike was a brilliant supreme allied commander, diplomatic enough to deal with prima donnas likes Churchill, Montgomery, Patton and De Gaulle, but tough enough not be dominated by them. MacArthur would have destroyed the alliance and received no cooperation from the British, possibly gaining a war with the Soviet Union as well. Had Soviet Union made a separate peace, the war would have been lost

  • Jesus Christ why does everybody get so pissed about stuff that hasn't any bearing on the orginal post? It's a song celebrating the Union. Ol gen. Maccy wasn't even born so just chill out and God bless America lest we have to rely on our own strength of mind and single minded determination like the Union and Confederacy both had back then. Cause just from this comment trail there isn't a single sign of unity that countrymen could and should share.

    Fuck's sake.

  • HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY EVERYONE AND REMEMBER SUPPORT OUR TROOPS!

  • type in and watch -

    "14th Indiana"

    watch the bravest boys on the Sunken Road fight through and defeat Taylor Swift's You Belong With Me!

  • Down with the slavers, and up with the star...

  • @smellincoffee you know, both sides during the civil war had slaves until late 1865.

  • @ThePopee1 A couple of northern states had slaves, yes. They tended to more agricultural than long-urbanized areas like New York. Hardly hundreds of thousands like those genteel planters who doubled as the southern states' representatives and senators, though. They tried to leave the union because they couldn't run it anymore.

  • Comment removed

  • @smellincoffee i heard "down with the traitors, and up with the stars"

  • Reminds me of an old game I loved, Civil War Generals 2. Seems like it played this song every few minutes.

  • Ike was not a coward, and he didn't let the Russians take Berlin. That order came from FDR and he had already been comitted to letting the Russians take Berlin at Yalta. Perhaps a big mistake, but remember FDR was so ill at Yalta he simply didn't have the strength to stand up to Joe Stalin. Actually FDR was probably to il to continue serving as president at that time. Blame FDR not IKE

  • I hate it when jackasses come to these videos and start posting idiotic statements concerning this period in American History and try to relate it to what is going on today. Both the Northern and Southern songs are a part of our heritage.

    F*** all trolls who pollute this with their drivel.

  • The current flag doesn't mean shit in the south.

  • fuck this shit i had to lissen to this for 10 fucking days at school FUCK sohls studys

  • As long as the Union was faithful to her trust

    Like friends and like brethren, kind were we, and just

    But now, when Northern treachery attempts our rights to mar

    We hoist on high the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.

  • @Zoraster4683

    So we're springing to the call from the East and from the West,

    Shouting the battle cry of freedom!

    And we'll hurl the rebel crew from the land we love best,

    Shouting the battle cry of freedom!

  • @Zoraster4683

    FOR DAS REICH WE FIGHT AMERICA

    FOR DAS RICHMOND WE ENSLAVE

    FOR DAS WHITE RACE WE SEGRAGATE

    HOIST THE BONNIE BLUE SWASTIKA

  • The English are forever with the Confederates.

  • @thereds1959 God save the Queen!

  • @thereds1959

    LOL NO

    ENGLAND WAS NEVER GOING TO INTERVENE

  • THE UNION FOREVER!!!!!!!!

  • @AwesomeMrGuy what matters most is the end result. we have that ability to look towards the end result since it's history. Even America during WW2 carried prejudice and hypocrisy, yet hitler (like confederacy) still stood for something far worst. defeating them must have happened in order to preserve humanity...even if the forces doing so are not so well rounded themselves. furthermore, Lincoln may have felt as such during his candidacy for pres. but changed his ways in the end.fact

  • if it wasn't about slavery then why did their draft exempt people who had 20 slaves or more?

  • long live the union

  • As a Northerner and Republican I feel genetically attached to the cause of the Union, but I still love and respect both sides. God bless the USA!

  • @irish89055 right on friend

  • Comment removed

  • @irish89055 You do realize that the irish descended like a plague of vermin upon ellis island, right?

    Right?

  • @rvbkicksass Now, saying that the Irish are vermin, is really not quite fair. Their country had no food, what the hell do you expect them to do?

  • @rvbkicksass  I'll give you a right....

  • @irish89055 actually, they were referring to states that decided the right to own people was worth going to war over

  • @galept of course I know who they were referring .... the traitors of today are allowing this influx of illegals of which both political parties have much to gain... For me, born in Va and living now near several major battlefields of the Civil War, Australia is looking better all the time..

  • @irish89055 I grew up around Antietam and Harper's Ferry, spent most of my life so far involved in Civil War history, culture and heritage. Australia's got nothin on us!

  • @galept hi galept.... my comments about moving to Australia and comments as to whom the modern day "traitors" are, relates to the invasion of the US by millions of illegal hispanics. I live just south of Richmond near many battlefields including Cold Harbor and Petersburg. I love the Antietam battlefield from photos and want to go, even live up that way if I don't leave the US... This invasion will stop and they will go home if we start arresting the employers..

  • @irish89055 I Support digging up the Confederate Soldiers every year and hanging the corpses along all highways because these men betrayed America and we KILL traitors and Commies

  • @galept damn straight their just another bitch of england

  • @galept ok, my anger of the current day policy of illega hispanics is going over most your heads. ummm, as I live almost on the very battlegrounds surrounding Richmond, Va and am a native of Va, the traitors werent' the common confederate soldier as much as people like Lee and other US generals that turned their back on the US. A big ceremonial traitor was Edmond Ruffin who was give the "honor" of firing one of the first cannons to fire on sumter, he lived not far from where i write this..

  • @irish89055 NICE!

  • God Bless the UNION!

  • amen!

    

  • bin laden is dead!!!!

  • i aint no Yankee and sure ass hell aint no dam johnny rebel iam AMERICAN!!!!!!!!! and i shout the battle cry of freedom!

  • @Butternut731863 It was those morons who caused the deaths because they wanted their slaves

  • Doesn't matter, the CSOA no longer exists, and the rebel flag is obsolete. The current union flag is the Stars and Stripes. That is the flag of all united Americans.

  • @DoctorG47 how does the CSA flag no longer exist? i have one in my room. so it must still exist. lol.

  • shut up you lincolnites. and wee killed more of you then yall of us you yankee basterds

  • Hurrah boys, Hurrah!

  • Nobody invaded the South. The South was part of the US and the South rebelled. The Union had a right and a duty to bring the traitors to the United States to heal.

    Up the Stars and Stripes and the U.S. Constitution! Down with the traitors and slavers!

    If it hadn't been for the Southern rebellion those 600,000 would not have died.

  • @TheBushman2 ehhhhhh wrong yankee many of our founding fathers had slaves you fuck you disrespect them i hope they put on your headstone when you die the idiot who fucked our founding fathers i hope people piss on your grave oh also you know the souther POW camps yea because the yanks cut off food supplies they basicly were killing their own men not enough food to feed even the southern guards at the camps and if the yanks let the confederates sepperate 600k people would not have died

  • It's about slavery. Slavery is wrong. Period. Amen. Check out what Robert E. Lee did at communion in May of 1865

  • 150 years later may god bless the republic

  • people dont seem to realize tho even if the south won and became a new country both countries would become so weak that I doubt our country would still be around today. We already lost 600 thousand people out of about 30 million americans plus dividing it into two countries? That is very apetizing for a diffrent country to get some free land.

  • *Sigh*.... damn it, I'm tired of arguing. Look, can we just all agree that whatever the causes of the war, slavery is wrong, state's rights are good, and rabid sectionalism and old grudges just serve to divide us and exacerbate the problems we have? Can't we just look forward to a future built in freedom and equality, and build that future? There are struggles aplenty ahead, without resurrecting these dead ones.

  • @CrawdaddyJoe I second that.

  • to arms for dixie, advancing the flag of dixie hasnt stopped, and never will

  • @TanDim666 See Pickett's Charge.

  • I was born in Texas, raised in Georgia, and now have returned back to Texas. All to say I am from the South. I love this song for it honors those who died for the preservation of the union. God bless this great nation in honor of their sacrifices.

  • Down with the traitor!!!

  • Anyone who flies the rebel flag today is a traitor.

  • @TheAdjundantReflex SECESSION WAS LEGAL - in that sense the North was VERY much the traitor. The US constitution lost this war. I guess one could say America lost the Civil war because the North one - and the North was preventing the South from exerting its sovereign right.

  • @Butternut731863 The South never had, does not have and never will have any sovereign rights. Those rights belong to the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, not to any one or group of individual states. The states each gave up their 'soveriegn rights' when they joined the Union.

  • @philpalx except those granted in the Constitution.

  • @TheAdjundantReflex sorry I meant to say "won" not "one."

  • @TheAdjundantReflex I dare you to come take mine down and call me a traitor. Big words from a small minded individual.

  • God what's the arguing about. I have studied the civil war and it was about slavery and unity.

  • @romangeneralbob It's because the Civil War created who we are today and every aspect of Americans lives.

  • @romangeneralbob It was not about slavery little one. You need to hit the books a lot more, and not your bullshit textbooks that bread lies and minority pride.

  • @EpicTrollBeastMan yeah it was about states rights to hold on to slavery. south thought Abe Linc was gonna take slaves away (Slavery) and left the union. the north then invaded the confederacy (Unity). I know it was not a crusade to free the slaves.

  • My great great great grandfather served in the West Virginia Cavalry during the Civil War.

  • My great great great grandfather served in the West Virginia Cavalry during the Civil War

  • ...Powerfull...

  • South will rise again and please do, so this time we can build a gigantic, fortified barrier around them and cut off all ties so we can forever be free from the burden of being associated with racist cousinfuckers who have not made a progress for the past 150+ years.

  • I find the fact that the confederate version has the same chorus incredibly depressing. The most costly US war, and the same patriotic song was a hit for both sides.

  • Can't we all just enjoy the song? xD

  • USA!

  • you all need to do a little more research instead of copying what the text books say.

  • 600,000 American lives lost and there are still morons who fly the rebel flag. We are all Americans and should stand united. That is how we honor their sacrifice

  • @Goatoftheforest hmmm reminds me of a certain situation back during the American revolution. i do believe the English were making similar claims during the American Revolution that we were English and we should remain united under the crown.

  • The south was wrong and lost, end of story. There was no incentive to develop due to free labor. Why build machines when slaves could do the work?

  • @Thx1138d think about what you just said. and also please dig down deeper into the history. you might be surprised as to what u will find.

  • Slavery makes no sense in the industrial age

  • @Thx1138d again. dig deeper into the history. beyond high school history. do your own research.

  • Based on your responses I dare to say i know more history than you do

  • @Thx1138d ok what ever you say. to me it is quit obvious you have not looked beyond a high school text book.

  • Try me

  • @Thx1138d why. when your just going to quote a high school text book. If you would just dig down a little deeper you would not be acting the way you are now. Trust me i do not need to try anything. I have already seen the capabilities of your education based on your comments.

  • I am not quoting any high school textbook. If you had been a slave i am sure your perspective would have been different compared to your narrow minded Southern xenophobism.

  • @Thx1138d Did u know General Lee freed his slaves before the emancipation. While Grant held on to his till it had passed. Did u know the confederacy had in the works a similar bill. Did u know that freed black men chose to fight for the confederacy as well (ex. First Louisiana Native Guard). did u know that about 97% of confederate soldiers were non slave owners and most were small time farmers who could in no way compete with plantations. But they still fought.

  • @Thx1138d And yes i do have to agree with you. this is quite a good song. I do enjoy listening to songs of that time period.

  • Great song huh?!

  • @Thx1138d do not presume u know me. but since u decide to go there like ever typical person who's knowledge on the Civil War come from a text book. I will tell u a little about me.

    My wife is Chinese, my brother in law is black, i have 2 uncles who are half Black Foot native American, and 2 uncles and a aunt who are half Korean. I have friends who are from Saudi Arabia, Jordan, China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, Uganda, Ghana, Iraq, and Afghanistan. I love them all very much.

  • Comment removed

  • @Thx1138d I may be a proud Southerner, but i am no xenophobe. I give respect to everyone. I do not care what nationality, race, or religion a person is. I will respect anyone until i am disrespected. And i will defend who I am, where i am from, and what my ancestors fought for. (My ancestors who fought in that war, happened to be Irish immigrants.)

    And because of this I wont disrespect who you are, where u r from, nor what your ancestors did. each side had good reasons for why they fought.

  • @DESheffield2nd same here but i'm from the north

  • @TsumeBeta038 do u mean your ancestors were Irish immigrants? haha i am not to sure what u mean same here. i said quit a few things in my last "few" posts. but none the less u have my respect.

  • @Thx1138d It's a great song for sure. This is probably one of the best versions too, absolutely beautiful.

  • It was the most popular Civil War song though i had thought Dixie was.

  • @Thx1138d I kind of with there was more music these days that of that style during that time period.

  • @Goatoftheforest Just because they are flying a Confederate flag does not mean they are trying to not be American. People in the confederacy considered themselves as American as anyone in the North. so let them fly the Confederate flag and honor the fallen. Other wise your not being very American to say other wise.

  • @Goatoftheforest its the same thing as playing this song, not trying to be a dick but the south werent as bad as people make them out to be, i respect both sides because they atleast fought for which they believed blue or gray, and no other war will you find this, the civil war is what brought a nation together so i think there is some beauty in sporting a rebel flag and others sporting the stars and stripes because in the end they both came together

  • @Goatoftheforest about half of those died under that rebel flag.

  • @Butternut731863 check your sources on that one....the Union lost a large number more than the confederates. Mainly because their main general, Ulysses S. Grant used the tactic of throwing soldiers against the confederates, confident that they would win due to their much larger number of troops.

  • @kpeverson83 Not necessarily - yes he blundered at Cold Harbor and in the closing days when he ordered assaults on the Petersburg Trenches, and Vicksburg - but lots of the butcher was due to poor Generalship by Northerners like Burnside at Antietam and Fredericksburg, and McClellan who was so cautious at Sharpsburg despite outnumbering the South 2 to 1 that the war went on much longer than it had to, and Meade at Gettysburg let Lee slip away as well. I see your point though :) Long live AMERICA!

  • @kpeverson83 The north lost a smaller percentage of men then the south did. While the north's casualties were higher it could afford to lose more then the south did. Grant, Sherman and Lincoln all knew this and called it 'The Butcher's Bill'. 

  • @kpeverson83 ANd what happened

  • @Butternut731863 A bunch of loser traitors who betrayed their country and themselves.

  • @philpalx fuck you yank

  • @proudconfederate65 The Confederacy lost because it deserved to lose what was essentially a rich man's war and poor man's fight. I feel bad for all those dumb bastards who died to support the rich, slaving-owning elite who didn't give a damn about poor white families except to exploit their men as cannon fodder. And before you can go into your song and dance about states rights, let me point out that the only state right that was at issue was the right to own slaves.

  • @Ezrateach the yanks should have let the confederates be their own country and not intervene why they attacked was because they couldn't handle without the south because that is where most of their crops food supply came from. but hey look at our country now obama fucking us over an dover and over but hey no that's fine we let that happen things would be a lot different stayed their own country besides you yanks had a drunk for a general coming to battles wasted while we had Robert E. Lee

  • @Ezrateach also stonewall jackson the very men that kicked your asses all the way to D.C. you Yankee fuck

  • @proudconfederate65 screw you reb

  • @philpalx yea and now look at us we are the all might union wooo getting fucked in the ass by president not even know his birthplace obama and now our nation is mocked and fat hell yea i sure love the yanks wooo fuck off billy boy
