"The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" is a song written by Canadian musician Robbie Robertson, first recorded by The Band in 1969. It's NOT written by Joan Baez.

[RobertGary1]

Today its so hard for us to understand the civil war because we've all lived in an era of a strong federal gov't. However, at the time of the civil was we were still a Union of states. The Union had little affect on people's lives and the gov't people saw was their strong state gov't. Today most state powers have been neutered by our federal gov't. Many would argue that we can't continue to call ourselves "The United States of America" when we have become more of a Federal Republic of America.

I've listened to a lot attempts at this song. This one does come from the heart. I will come back again next time I got time. Nice.

The old South was the best South in a lot of ways

[brian6078]

This must have been a terrible time for Americans,North and South.More Americans died fighting this war than all other wars combined.The south really had their work cut out for them being out numbered 3-1.Something like 2.3 million to 825,000 men

@robh64 you dumb fuck, Lee tortured his slave girls, retard. Fact. The law said he had to, if they escaped, but Lee needed no law to get him to torture girls, he got off on it.

GO read the book. Lee tortured slaves. WIthout torture and terror, you stupid fuck, slaves would run away. The torture was in case they ran away, you fucking idiot. And it was done OFTEN.

Those who didn't torture run aways not only broke the law, dumb fuck, they soon lost all their slaves.

[robh64]

@PowerPlantEngineer Are you really so uneduacated that you cannot write without expletives. Virginia had a lot of freed slaves and lots of laws. Not so primitive as you imagine. I wouldnt torture something I paid thousands for in todays money.

[PowerPlantEngineer]

@robh64 rob dumb fuck -- Lee tortured young GIRLS --- probably because it gave him pleasure, but also it scared the shit out of the other girls, to make them obey.

Learn why they tortured dumb fuck. In fact, it was a LAW in Virginia that you HAD to torture any slave that ran away. Learn some basics you stupid fuck.

the un civil war is about to repeat it self again in america, this time a war between the races

@PowerPlantEngineer pretty stupid comment, slaves were considered expensive property like a car. would you beat up your car and expect it to keep its worth? But you also didnt mention the north in its treament of foreigners coming to america, the slums, 5 points in new york etc, the lynching of blacks in ny over the draft. Gen Grant owning slaves etc. dont be so biased
