My great-great-great uncle led a company of infantry in Pickett's Charge. I will be playing this at his grave when I visit in a few weeks. As loud as I can make it.
Aww sorry. But you lost and you fought for the worst cause any nation ever fought for. We don't want to take away your music per say. Why would we do that? Itshelps us remember why your grand daddy's fought. But I do note that when your ancestors left their farms or their plantations to "Hoist High" the "Bonnie Blue Flag" and fight for the Army of Northern Vagina that the song they sang explained very clearly what they were so god awful pissed about. The Nothern "Treachery" was threatening to take away the southern man's rights, which very distinctly meant the right of white man, to own his ni$%ers and beat em too. But go ahead and tell me that actually when all the southern governors said "peace out" they were actually leaving because of radical liberalism. They knew that right around the corner Obamacare, and gun control was coming! False. They did not. They built a society around racism, chattel slavery, which wasn't just slavery practiced going back to biblical times, but the slavery where the slave was distinctly lesser of a man, the slave was sub human, and almost had to be beaten. The slave was "a savage" incapable of being free. For every southern belle would be raped behind a street corner if they let those beasts on the run. And I know your grand daddy's was scared about that. They said Abe was such a lover of the negro that he was even gonna let white people and black creatures get married? Can you imagine?! Thank god your grand daddys rallied round that Bonnie blue flag to prolong the southern rat to own people, and ensure the white man was not the bottom rung of society. Now of course when Sherman marched to the see whipping your grand daddy's battle after battle and sacking city after city to make your politcians pay for being traitors, The soldiers of the United States of America also sang their own song, about their own flag. Our own flag, the flag that gives you your precious rights to own an assault rifle which you'll need when Sherman comes marching again with gay pride flags and drag queens to convert you all to Islam and force you to abort all your babies. When the Northern flag flew by the Southern Plantations the boys would sing " Hurrah, hurrah, we bring the jubilee! Hurrah, hurrah, the flag that makes you free! So we sang the chorus from Atlanta to the sea While we were marching through Georgia! The flag, that makes you free. Music, tells the story :) You can keep it.
Yes I agree with you on that I love history long live the South and the Confederate flags God bless Robert E.Lee and stone wall Jackson the South will rise angin
Personally I am not American but I think the South should be independent. Most of the folk who fought for the Confederacy were too poor to own a slave, and likely just ordinary working people themselves. The ruling class made propaganda to manipulate people into believing they were fighting for independence. But their true intentions were far worse. The 0.1% of rich people just wanted to keep their black slaves and white indentured servants so they could keep making more profits. And they forced the Southern working class to go kill, or be killed by, the Northern working class - people who did not have any major existing problems with each other. The next time the South is to fight for independence, it must be in the form of a people’s revolution. I am from Russia, where in 1917 our urban and rural working class (including my ancestors) united and rose up to overthrow our Capitalist, Imperialist state. In its place, we established a country called USSR controlled by the working class through ‘Democratic Centralism’ and guided by revolutionary political theory. With all state power in the hands of the proletariat, and all united under one Party for the working people, we were quickly able to punish those responsible for oppression and rid our lands of filth/degeneracy. In my opinion, the South is the region best adapted for this system, because you folk already have very unified communities and correct social attitudes (mostly 😂). You also have, by far, the highest capability to start a revolution because you already have so many guns there. The US government has heavily targeted our system and its creators with propaganda, in order to hang on to their power, but I urge you all not to listen. Instead, read books by Lenin and Stalin, to understand how to combat the enemy and built a society based on proper moral standards.
@@user-fb9ql8bm2e my grandpa was to poor and young in the militia like was most of the south but there is some things I don't agree with but I have to accept my family history. I am indigenous/Native American and American
@@user-fb9ql8bm2e If the USSR was controlled by the working class, why did its government massacre so many workers? And in any case Lenin and Stalin were highly immoral, evil, utterly wicked men. They didn't build a society with high moral standards.
I love the Dixie culture, and I am sorry that slavery, that was an evil institution, ended with so much violence and destruction. And I love Poland, you are an example for all catholics around the world. Polonia semper fidelis.
@@joannahall4082 please explain how? The last Confederate General to surrender was a man by the name of Stand Waite a Cherokee Native American. In fact all the natives who participated in the war fought with the confederacy. Geographically the war was fought over Western Expansion, the union conquered not only sovereign Confederate territory but also sovereign Native American Territories. Ideologically the war was fought over the illegal implementation of a Federal Nationalized Democracy. The confederacy was fighting to preserve the constitutional Confederate Republic that the union was established as in 1776.
From South Vietnam to the American South? Actually, I gather quite a lot of Vietnamese settled across the South, but it's still a striking and amusing parallel even if otherwise meaningless. I hope life is treating you well.
@@joannahall4082 Few things are literally ALL about racism, or anything else. The Union's war was famously not ALL about ending slavery, and it for certain was not about ending racism.
It has been many, many years since I last saw the John Wayne/John Ford movie "The Horse Soldiers" but I seem to remember this tune being used in the scene where the young Confederate cadets marched out to face the Union cavalry - one of the most moving scenes in the film. Thanks for reviving the memory.

I am English, every time you guys play and sing this song it gets my blood pumping and feet tapping, I love this song and defy people not to be moved by it. The American Civil War is portrayed as 'good' The North versus the 'bad' The South. It is far more complex than that the many Southern States saw the war as necessary to defend there soil from what they saw as state interference. Just like America fought us British/English in your War Of Independence to stop a regime and monarchy that was 3,000 miles away pushing you around and telling you what to do. It is also a great pity that you cant display your Confederate flag in public. I am going to get one to show solidarity.'Hurrah'!

Such a cheerful band, you give us happiness every day with these songs, god bless you and all the southern states, may their traditions and actions be remembered forever. greetings from Italy boys :D
I am very fond of the South Culture and history of The War between the States thanks to your music that I listened by chance many years ago. Grettings from Chile
I was reading the novel Gone with the Wind. I came across the song title Bonnie Blue Flag. I then appreciated the pride of the southerners to preserve their lifestyle and customs though I am totally against any form of slavery. Bless the souls of all those who sacrificed in the Civil War.
1:22 " First Gallant South Carolina, Nobly Made The Stand!" My Ancestors were apart of the German Artillery of South Carolina(Bachman and Wagner Companies) and their first task for the Confederacy was the shelling of fort Sumpter from their position on Fort Moultrie. I have copies of their personal war diaries and I've finally have learned enough German to read them and they give detailed first hand accounts of the long bombardment of the federal fort and the beginning of Southern resistance.
@@Vulcaani Yes I am, I think that all of us from the American South are! We are still having to fight for our rights against crooked politicians today.
Though my ancestors and me were and from the north (pennsylvania) the south was not the evil empire a lot make it out to be. It was a different era. and enjoy your music very much.
Love your music, regards from spain, although being from different countries I enjoy your efforts to preserve your culture and heritage, a cause that many people arround the world try to stand for of their own culture and heritage.

PS if you can. It would make my entire life complete if y'all could possibly come to the Leatherwood reenactment in October 27-29 2017 in perry county ky. I'm going to be in the reenactment and there's a after party there so if you could PLEASE come to it if you can please respond to this ornifnyou can't still reply. God bless the South
I find it highly ironic that people want to destroy Confederate monuments on the grounds that it represents slavery. While I do not support slavery, one may as well just as easily argue that the flag of the United States ought to be banned because under it, atrocities such as the wholesale extermination of Native Americans and appropriation of their land occurred. Indeed should the Union Jack as well, in all shapes and forms be banned too? For under it, you had the forced conversion of Native Americans to Christianity, the violent suppression of the natives in British India (yes your beloved Winston Churchill very much opposed an independent India) and more. In addition, a number of founding fathers were slave owners, including the famous George Washington. Destroying monuments such as these is akin to an attempt to erase the history of one's nation/region/locality and to try to forget the past. If anything these monuments remind of us the good that was in our forefathers (that we should emulate) and also reminds us of the bad things that we must strive to change in ourselves and in our society. One also has to remember that many southerners who fought for the Confederacy weren't even slave owners. They supported the institution because it was their way of life. Imagine everything you hold dear and what you know and now imagine if someone told you that you can't live like that. That's what the south for, in addition to slavery, the right to maintain their way of life. These people honestly people honestly believed (whether maliciously or with genuine good nature that slavery was an absolute right given by god and that the enslavement of the blacks was for their own good). Indeed some southerners, in rarer cases, taught their slaves how to read. Remember who it is you condemn before you judge, lest you find yourself looking in a mirror. They were people just as us. Wayward or wicked, but people nonetheless.
I from Turkey, Amazing music ! I've been shouting Hurrah Hurrah in the house for the last few days. I've expanded my research on the civil war quite a bit. Hurrah the peoples of the south then! 🇹🇷🤝🏻
I like you my Southern Brother's you guys need to keep the south alive. I am from the victorville area high desert. I am on your side. And thank you for this great music.
Your music is a time machine that transports one to a camp along the Blueridge. The smell of wood smoke, coffee, bacon and horses is in the air , sounds echo through the trees. For a few seconds I am there. There is real magic in your music! Even people not of this land can feel it A sprit that is good and kind and free. Thank you all so much.
WOW ! Very kind of you to say. Of course, without explicitly setting out to achieve what you've described so well, it HAS been our goal to give an authentic impression of those times.
Based on my trips to VA if I cannot be buried in Texas, Virginia is my next choice. Beautiful state, top to bottom prettier than the mountain states out west. Has the holy burial places of R.E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson. And the trees are in fact BIGGER AND TALLER than in Texas. And prettier.
A testament to how good the band is - several times the video used two different play through of the song, both were at the same tempo and had a steady beat
Despidercito, our Forefathers were traitors and patriots at the same time. You can be one and the same, depending on your situation. I wonder if you haven't noticed all the tons of traitors in Congress and the Senate? Most of them sit on the left side, but there are some on the right side too. How about you start talking about "those" traitors.
@@joannahall4082 as did four union states of Deleware, Kentucky, Maryland, and Missouri that, under the Emancipation Proclamation, were allowed to keep their slaves as long as they didn't cede.
I wish people should stop destroying our American heritage don't destroy civil war monuments they are like gravestones anyone that destroyed civil war monuments should be in prison
Thank you for bringing much joy to this Chicago Reenactor! If y'all ever come to Chicago be glad to have you perform at a reenactment here! Thanks Again!

Was this at the colombs in Florence sc over the weekend I didn't get to I didn't get to go to this one but I saw them at the 153 Gettysburg reenactment 2016 though
I am a 7th Generation South Carolinian. My great great grandfather was a Captain in the CSA. I wear his signet ring. My great great great grandfather was Sec of the Treasury for the Confederacy for one year, he was also a blockade runner and a very wealthy man. Margaret Mitchell used his life to craft Rhett Butler. I am the great great great grandson of the real Rhett Butler. I am proud to be a Southerner. I am also very conservative politically. I am ready to get out of the Union. Texas fired the first shot, so it is time to get this thing going. This time it will not just be the southern states but the Reds against the Blues and this time the new CSA (Conservative States of America) will win the day!
That's really interesting! I had ancestors who fought for the CSA as well. I know one was a sergeant, not sure of the others' ranks, they were were farmers, attorneys and a couple plantation owners in Virginia and Georgia. And I 100% agree with you, this time it's the Conservative States of America (CSA), and we will win!

Such a cheerful band, you give us happiness every day with these songs, god bless you and all the southern states, may their traditions and actions be remembered forever. greetings from Italy boys :D
WOW! Thanks, Luigi !!!
I am very fond of the South Culture and history of The War between the States thanks to your music that I listened by chance many years ago. Grettings from Chile
I love these old songs. From South West of England.
God bless South and generál Lee from Czech Republic!
I wish you guys would come to Indiana and perform. Many Dixie men up here!
While I dont blame you for wanting them to perform up here, it isnt exactly as pro-Dixie as you think.
all southerners need to return home. only then can Dixie can be reborn
I was reading the novel Gone with the Wind. I came across the song title Bonnie Blue Flag. I then appreciated the pride of the southerners to preserve their lifestyle and customs though I am totally against any form of slavery. Bless the souls of all those who sacrificed in the Civil War.
As a Southerner Chinese from Hong Kong, I love living here in Dixie most of my life, I love the country folks here in Old Dominion and this song.
1:22 " First Gallant South Carolina, Nobly Made The Stand!" My Ancestors were apart of the German Artillery of South Carolina(Bachman and Wagner Companies) and their first task for the Confederacy was the shelling of fort Sumpter from their position on Fort Moultrie. I have copies of their personal war diaries and I've finally have learned enough German to read them and they give detailed first hand accounts of the long bombardment of the federal fort and the beginning of Southern resistance.
Fascinating history! I bet you are proud of your roots.
@@Vulcaani Yes I am, I think that all of us from the American South are! We are still having to fight for our rights against crooked politicians today.
I can hear the Irish influence in this song. Beautiful
Huge percentage of southerners are Scots irish descended from migrants from Ulster. Country and bluegrass evolved from that region.
HUP HUP HUP HUP HUP
Uplifting and just great. Lots of love from Ireland🇮🇪
And inspired by a great Irish tune ! Thanks for the kind word !!!
Great Job!!

My hat's off to you wonderful gentlemen! Wonderfully played and sung! Keep up the good work.
Born in South Carolina, this song is special to me and you have done it justice. Good job Men!
Thanks for helping keep our history alive
Your history is the relentless torture of black people
@Your local capitalistic Fascistic nationalist CNN is democrat. I'm offended you think I'm the far right
The history wont die because some flag is not allowed to fly. The germans banned the Nazi flag but they all very clearly know about ww2
Great band, seen them many times. And the dances they play are great !!!
Thanks, Tom ! It was our pleasure and privilege to play for you !
You guys should play at places where they want to destroy the Confederate Monuments.
Madaoke it sickens me that they would destroy history in the name of political correctness. absolutely disgusting
Political correctness is just fascism with manners. Toe their line or they'll kick the crap out of you to 'educate' you in the error of your ways.
I find it highly ironic that people want to destroy Confederate monuments on the grounds that it represents slavery. While I do not support slavery, one may as well just as easily argue that the flag of the United States ought to be banned because under it, atrocities such as the wholesale extermination of Native Americans and appropriation of their land occurred. Indeed should the Union Jack as well, in all shapes and forms be banned too? For under it, you had the forced conversion of Native Americans to Christianity, the violent suppression of the natives in British India (yes your beloved Winston Churchill very much opposed an independent India) and more. In addition, a number of founding fathers were slave owners, including the famous George Washington. Destroying monuments such as these is akin to an attempt to erase the history of one's nation/region/locality and to try to forget the past. If anything these monuments remind of us the good that was in our forefathers (that we should emulate) and also reminds us of the bad things that we must strive to change in ourselves and in our society. One also has to remember that many southerners who fought for the Confederacy weren't even slave owners. They supported the institution because it was their way of life. Imagine everything you hold dear and what you know and now imagine if someone told you that you can't live like that. That's what the south for, in addition to slavery, the right to maintain their way of life. These people honestly people honestly believed (whether maliciously or with genuine good nature that slavery was an absolute right given by god and that the enslavement of the blacks was for their own good). Indeed some southerners, in rarer cases, taught their slaves how to read. Remember who it is you condemn before you judge, lest you find yourself looking in a mirror. They were people just as us. Wayward or wicked, but people nonetheless.
I am a British Brexiteer keep the faith we Patriots will win over this evil treachery being done to our constitutions No Surrender!
Why do they want to destroy confederate monuments ? It's history..
I from Turkey, Amazing music ! I've been shouting Hurrah Hurrah in the house for the last few days. I've expanded my research on the civil war quite a bit. Hurrah the peoples of the south then! 🇹🇷🤝🏻
Love the 2nd South Carolina String Band!
You guys played in Gods and Generals and saw you guys played very greatly. It is a great movie. Keep up the great work guys.
I like you my Southern Brother's you guys need to keep the south alive. I am from the victorville area high desert. I am on your side. And thank you for this great music.
George Air Force Base, yeah you can be on our side
Yipieeh; as a guitarplayer I appreciate Your music and greet You from the Confederacy Of Switzerland🇨🇭
Mir Schwizer sind au überal zfinde
Arkansa and NORTHCAROLINA both have gone out.Thank you Switzerland!
very nice as a Sri Lankan i really love and admire usa southern heritage and her culture...
Your music is a time machine that transports one to a camp along the Blueridge. The smell of wood smoke, coffee, bacon and horses is in the air , sounds echo through the trees. For a few seconds I am there. There is real magic in your music! Even people not of this land can feel it A sprit that is good and kind and free. Thank you all so much.
WOW ! Very kind of you to say. Of course, without explicitly setting out to achieve what you've described so well, it HAS been our goal to give an authentic impression of those times.
Greeting from Hungary!Thank you!
HURRRRAAAAAAHHHHH!!! from Istanbul. Boy, why can't I stop listening to Confederate songs. I love Generals Lee, Longstreet, Jackson and Stuart!
First a Texan, next a Southerner then an American. Enough said.
first a Southern Nationalist, then a Virginian. An American and Southern Nationalist. Not not something that can coexist.
Based on my trips to VA if I cannot be buried in Texas, Virginia is my next choice. Beautiful state, top to bottom prettier than the mountain states out west. Has the holy burial places of R.E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson. And the trees are in fact BIGGER AND TALLER than in Texas. And prettier.
How true, Sir. Love S Roanoke, 30 minutes from Lexington. Love our 3 hounds on plentiful land. Be Well.
I agree Croaker! I love all of Dixieland, but my first duty is to my beloved state of Texas; Just as our Southern ancestors before us.
Texas. The only Occupied Republic in the union
A testament to how good the band is - several times the video used two different play through of the song, both were at the same tempo and had a steady beat
GOOD EAR ! Thanks !!! It WAS very hot that day.
The South was Right! My ancestors fought for the States of Florida and Georgia! Very proud of them too! No apologies - ever!
Hell yeah mine fought for Tennessee
@@HornlessRam WE ARE HISTORY LOVERS!
Join the SCV! (Sons of Confederate Veterans!)
Despidercito, our Forefathers were traitors and patriots at the same time. You can be one and the same, depending on your situation. I wonder if you haven't noticed all the tons of traitors in Congress and the Senate? Most of them sit on the left side, but there are some on the right side too. How about you start talking about "those" traitors.
@@HornlessRam I'm a Southerner now Yankee go home!

Wow, this is one of my favorite rebel song. Thank you Joe Ewers, Fred Ewers, Dave Goss, Bob Beeman, and Tom DiGiuseppe for this song.
those guys played the song in the movie gods and generals
Good Job! This song and Dixie always stirs my blood! Thanks for posting this!
I wish people should stop destroying our American heritage don't destroy civil war monuments they are like gravestones anyone that destroyed civil war monuments should be in prison
Andrew Nelson, I agree. It is our heritage... our history. You should not destroy it, but learn from it. I think they should be put in prison too.
They are just snowflake liberals and it’s a shame.
Too damn late.. get it ?
Racist white hicks wanna cry? 😭
@@ilovemuslimfood666 support our home is racist? Good logic mate
Thank you for bringing much joy to this Chicago Reenactor! If y'all ever come to Chicago be glad to have you perform at a reenactment here! Thanks Again!

Thanks, Kevin!!! Thanks to the internet and TH-cam, it's pretty likely we'll NEVER shut up.
One of the best singing songs in the United
Love that song! First heard it in Horse Soldiers with John Wayne, his best film I think, ...a glorious song of the South...legendary! Well done boys....well done indeed! 👏
God bless Dixie, from a Californian
Hurrah from Tennessee ! Beautifully done !
We fought for our States,for our heritage ,, and our families.
I love this song every time when I listen....
Weren't you gents in Gods and Generals singing this very song?
They were, yes!
Was this at the colombs in Florence sc over the weekend I didn't get to I didn't get to go to this one but I saw them at the 153 Gettysburg reenactment 2016 though
I am a 7th Generation South Carolinian. My great great grandfather was a Captain in the CSA. I wear his signet ring. My great great great grandfather was Sec of the Treasury for the Confederacy for one year, he was also a blockade runner and a very wealthy man. Margaret Mitchell used his life to craft Rhett Butler. I am the great great great grandson of the real Rhett Butler. I am proud to be a Southerner. I am also very conservative politically. I am ready to get out of the Union. Texas fired the first shot, so it is time to get this thing going. This time it will not just be the southern states but the Reds against the Blues and this time the new CSA (Conservative States of America) will win the day!
That's really interesting! I had ancestors who fought for the CSA as well. I know one was a sergeant, not sure of the others' ranks, they were were farmers, attorneys and a couple plantation owners in Virginia and Georgia. And I 100% agree with you, this time it's the Conservative States of America (CSA), and we will win!
