Confederate Spirit (Actual Confederate Veterans Recording)

This is an actual recording of Confederate veterans singing "The Bonnie Blue Flag".

Not sure on the date of the recording but I believe it is from one of the Gettysburg reunions, perhaps the grand reunion.

Hoorahh for the hillbillies!!

[BridgeDeckCruiser]

The flower of our country is gone. We, the offspring of that gallant remnant raise our fists in defience of that cursed union. O God, save the South. How long wilt thou leave thy people in the bonds of northerners who pervert Thy name in their self-righteousness, pride and greed? We have no country, no land of our own, no peace. When o Lord, when wilt thou turn thy face unto us and show us thy grace? We cry unto thee night and day: Help us o Lord, help us! Amen.

Very nice work . Interesting musical group.

[Xolarmax]

The singer is Polk Miller. While growing up, he learned to play the banjo from slaves on his father's plantation. He became a druggist in Richmond in 1860. During the American Civil War, he served as a Confederate artilleryman. The backup are the black singers in his Old South Quartet.. In his memoirs he complained about the problems with racial discrimination the group faced in both the northern and southern portions of the United States as the group traveled and toured.

The singer sounds very Irish like because of the Ulster Scott heritage in the south east that started so long ago.
