- A candid interview by SCV Tennessee Division Commander Mike Beck with H.K. Edgerton regarding the True South and a historical perspective of how life truly was in the Southland as opposed to the lies and propaganda we have been fed for generations.
This man came to my school and stood by himself outside the gate with his suit and flag when they banned the flag from school property. He won!! Great strong man!
I'm a mexican immigrant who is fascinated by the american civil war. I would love to sit down and talk, for a long time, with Mr Edgerton.
I'm a very close descendant of Robert E. LEE and I learned a lot of what this magnificent Gentleman is saying as a young boy. I would sit and listen to my father and grandfather talk about a lot of this same information with the older black gentlemen that my family was raised around. I have tried to share the things I have learned with others and of course they don't believe it or want to here it.
H.K. Edgerton, always inspiring. I've been showing his videos to my white hunting/fishing buddies and they're blown away. It's going to be a sad day when this Southern Patriot passes. I wish the liberals would pack up and leave Dixie alone. I love the South and it's the liberals that keep re-writing history that keep us, blacks and whites from coming together. Here's a social experiment for young blacks, go to a sporting goods store and find the most country looking white boy you can find, and ask him to help you pick out fishing lures or the best hunting equipment, in his opinion. You'll damn near make a friend for life. Southern whites and blacks don't have problems until the liberals show up and start race baiting, that and they keep inner city blacks ignorant by dumbing down the school curriculum. As a black southerner and veteran, I will say this, a country divided cannot stand. They're trying to steal our freedom again, and they're manipulating blacks under the guise of social equality. It's communism folks. I'm a Christian first, God our Father, is always first, next an American, then a Black Southerner. If we don't stand together, everything that's great about our Nation will be gone. God Bless America. Keep fighting the good fight H.K.
The Black Hillbilly Avenger well said brotherman, they are afraid of what will happen to them when blacks and whites unite and will do anything to stop it from happening. stay blessed.
The Black Hillbilly Avenger. Keep fighting uphill don't have your patience STARS AND BARS MEANS START LOADING CLIPS ....FLAT OUT ......ALL MY TARGETS
The Black Hillbilly Avenger amen to that fellow patriot.
Beautiful, I'm born and raised in upstate NY but I fly my Confederate flags proudly off my front porch. The stars and bars and the rebel Virginia state flag!!
I will give my life for the Confederates if another civil war ever happens, its we the people vs tyrants!!
This proud Texas Spaniard stands alongside you sir!
God bless you Mr. Edgerton and I'm proud of my southern heritage!!!
God bless HK Edgerton he speaks the truth highly educated on the subject something that most people need to learn
Sir, I am from Massachusetts, and may I say that you are truly an inspiration. Thank you for telling the REAL history that all these children need to learn. I had an ancestor fight alongside P.T.G. Beauregard. All these offended kids need to put aside their own hate and open their eyes. May God Bless and Keep you and your family for all the years to come. You are a stone wall that General Jackson would give a salute. A TRUE American, Patriot, good Christian, and defender of Southern pride and heritage. Thank you Sir.
God bless him may he always have a warm sun on his shoulders and a cool breeze in his hair. To everyone have a great day and a better tomorrow
God bless you SIR!! My family fought with the 54th Virginia and with Jeb Stuart for the CONFEDERACY!! We are in a battle now in my home County of Floyd County Virginia to keep our Confedefate Monument to our ancestors. I sure wish we could have him here to speak for us at our town meeting. May God bless you mightily!!
This is needed to be heard today now more than ever. I’m going to share this video. What struck me is, and I’ve known the story of the Black Eyed Peas, that after Sherman burned the south to the ground and the north just wrecked the south’s economy after the war, it was black and whites, former slave and owners who together put the south back together. I had never thought of that until he talked about it at the end of the video. Good thought provoking stuff.
My great grandfather died in Nashville in the civil war he buried in Tennessee. My grandmother's cousin came home to find he farm looted and everything gone, that didn't stop him he gathered men and started to rebuild their community.
I would follow him anywhere. We need more people like HK Edgerton. A true southern hero. I'll be whistlin dixie.
I would too, Doc.
My grand dad's grandad was Joseph Howard Powell. He was in Company H, 5 th Alabama Cavalry. I am proud of his service for the South and I am proud of my southern heritage.
May your courageous and honorable ancestor Joseph Powell rest in peace!
My grandads grandpappy was Thomas Powell Oklahoma Cherokee WW1
An ancestor of mine fought with the 1st Minnesota Volunteers and fought against an Alabama company I don't know if it was that company but I hate that they might have fought each other. I salute my ancestor and yours too.

It would be an honor to shake your hand just as its a honor to listen to your words of our hidden history... you are a man of great words Mr. H.K. Edgerton. You will go down as a true Legend in my eyes... God bless you and your journey.
A true patriot who defends the constitution against the tyrants that want it destroyed
The truth shall rise again. A good Southerner telling the truth. Thanks.
Mr H.K., You bring a tear to my eye! I’m a soldier ofn22 yrs. I served with MANY men of ALL colors, and we stood tall beside one another! Listening to you helps me imagine the past generations doing the same. I personally have tried to spend the basis of ur same message. I am sincerely moved by your resolve and personal mission, along with spreading love and pride through it all! You are a beacon of light for our country to follow. I pray this video spreads worldwide! Thank you for all you do sir!
I’m from the west and ignorant to much of what really happened in the South, only knowing what was taught to me in school(and reinforced in media). I really appreciate Mr. Edgerton for the education. God bless all who read this. May the light of Truth guide you.
You are truly a inspiration and tell the whole truth. You are a good man and u tell the true history.
Proud Hispanic southerner 🖤 I support this with pride.
Native and Confederate on both sides of my family. Bless Mr. H.K.Edgerton and Robert E. Lee!. I had kin at the Battle of Nashville.
Do you know the name of your ancestor who fought in the Battle of Nashville?
@@col.bradford-col.rosescvca6081 Gen. Stan Watie of CSA was the only native American officer on either side.
I too have that blood ❤️
Col. Bradford-Col. Rose SCV Camp 1638 😢🙏❤️
I love hearing stories about the Civil War and our Southern history. Many in these times seem to want to wipe it out which is the worst thing we can do.
They want no reminders that we stood up to tyranny.
YES SIR,OLE ABE,S PLAN WAS TO DIMANTLE THE LIVES OF THE SOUTH NOT BECAUSE OF SLAVERY HE MADE THAT CLEAR 1861 ,,THE NORTH,S CASH COW GOT FED UP AND SUCCEEDED FROM THE ENEMY WITHIN ,THE MORILLE TAX WAS THE LAST STRAW!
Excellent point quite pertinent to today's current civil war.
and for the rich....
Ecactly, its all propaganda the indoctrination system and MSM spreads. It's 2020 and they are pushing another civil war, except this time it won't only be southerners and I truly believe that!!
@Mister G Way77:
Let us say that federal government agents were raiding the house next door to ...you! And you very ...foolishly grab a firearm to help your neighbor stand up to this ..."tyranny"! Just what do you think would happen to you???!!!
What the Civil War was about was the duly elected federal government came down to the South to free Americans that were being held against their will!
And when masses of idiots decided to intervene on the behalf of their "criminal" neighbors they received their just rewards!!
Now stop crying about it; and, please read your Bibles! There are so many on this site that really need to repent ...like your ancestors ...should have!!
With ALL that has been going ON these last couple of years..
This Man Warms my Heart and gives me Hope , that the REALITY of this current
Trend/Situation here in the SOUTH and Nationwide.... Can be Settled With This Truth, Facts, and Wisdom that
Mr. H.K Edgerton so Graciously Explains... thank you...
Makes my southern heart flutter to see this southern gentleman tell the truth about us and our flag
He is a blessing to the preservation of factual history. He walks the roads of our town with the flag, I took a walk with him when I was young and it changed my life, I learned so much.
I love America. All of it. Including the Confederates. This is a story that must be told accurately. You are doing it...keep doing it.
What’s sad is when his generation dies out the real story is going to die with them. If you are a real cowboy you know this. The north has always and still is jealous of the South. The government shows their hand everyday. But even worse is the government wants to keep the strife going bc as long as we hate each other they can rape, rob, and steal from us. Let’s stop playing the hate and blame game, and fight the government on our own terms bc technically we the people (all people) should maintain our traditions, and our pride in the fact that the South broke away from an over controlling federal government (you know like “antifa” is screaming right now. Of course I would NEVER side with a criminal faction which is “anti-fa” and BLM and I love my country and all my fellow Americans, but if there is any REAL discrimination, it’s not through the system, it’s one guy here and one there. The rest of you know this and are just trying to get a free lunch and that can cause some trouble if you are black or white, brown, purple and fall for it. Get a job, save your money, and stop letting politicians tell you that you are a victim. If I was a cop and ANYBODY threatened my life, it’s on to see which one goes home and which one leaves a family behind. Watch the Chris Rock video ,...”how not to get your ass kicked by the police”,... it’s actually right on time. It’s funnny but it’s the TRUTH!! Anybody out there remember that word? Truth. It’s the measure of a man.
we more men like you today H.K. God bless you my brother and keep on telling it through your eye's!!
Thankyou H.K. man I wish there were more people like you
Very well said Mr.Edgerton brought tears to my eyes.....however sir. I do believe ur words should be heard but not many people will take the time to listen I've tried but as a southern white girl from south Carolina it seems people think I'm racist for even suggesting to other nationalities about ur wise words it's sad I even shared each one of ur videos to Facebook hoping one of my friends would actually share ur wise words onto others but I want stop I will continue to share this video until everyone gets tired of seeing it in their news feeds and shares it onto others sir, i have great respect to u and I wish I all the luck u need to resolve this issue......from my family in south Carolina to u and ur family thank you sir and God bless
Jessica Kelchner I agree with you ma’am! I’m a white girl from Texas and I want to spread the truth about Dixie too!!! You’re comment and this video has given me confidence to do it!!! God Bless You!!!
4 years later, Jessica and we are at war! Syrup is now racist and all of the founding father's statues are being destroyed! Even the national anthem is under threat of being removed and replaced. These are the worst of times!
Good for you we need to come together what's wrong with loving each other
Keep the faith sis
Well said, thank you for everything
Educating your self about the unfiltered history of the civil war and sharing it with us! Wish national news would hear you
Mr. Edgerton, please keep up the great work. Thank you and may God bless you always. St. Augustine Fl needs your voice now also.
Not only a real American...a modern day American Patriot..May God bless you richly sir
Mike Dyer Amen to that!!
This gentleman is so refreshing,i had no idea;God bless him would love to meet him!!
This gentleman speak with such wisdom, truth, and heart. We need a revival of people like him God bless you sir
God bless you this is the first time I've ever heard you speak I'm 79 you are always welcome in my family before your speech. Southern people are not hateful or racist the whole world wants a tag that on us. We're not hateful against anyone. So who is the real haters here? Don't look in the mirror
This is a story that is important to be told... Personal views, no matter what they may be , can never change the truth.. Personal stories need to be heard and history needs to be preserved for the truth to be heard..
Mr Edgerton I found this beyond inspiring! Thank you so much for your eloquent true description. I am the 5th generation of my family born on this red dirt here in Georgia. I will retell my Great Grandmothers stories of how it truly was us against the brutal union soldiers who befell us like locust. Burned down every structure except the few they made their headquarters. The federal government soldiers came through burning families inside their homes, raped the women as all southern men were at this point dead injured or off fighting to prevent the very fate that befell us all. Our children were taken to be raised by northern troops. They took all valuables all livestock and all crops.
So at this point they have raped us burned our neighbors alive in their homes taken our most precious heirlooms passed down from generations, taken our livestock, taken all crops and canned foods even stole away our babies.
Most of our southern men were killed and the few who werent came home with amputations, severe infections, starving hobbling using a stick to walk home on 1 leg. Only to find home was gone with the wind.
Then came the vultures-the carpet baggers against whom mostly women with no weapons hadnt a chance.
The feds took everything from us. They did not pay 1cent to rebuild the homes and businesses and hospitals they destroyed.
They did not provide any humanitarian aid. Just left us here defenseless to starve to death if we didnt freeze to death or get brutalized by despicable slimy creatures who slithered in in droves.
Do you still trust the federal government?
The blue bellies were a brutal tyrant that practiced "total war" on the elderly, women and children.
It is time for us to rise again and fight these tyrants, I will give my life for freedom!!
@@col.bradford-col.rosescvca6081 I respect you but I must disagree on how you feel on the confederate flag. You were taught by revisionist groups that had an influence on the school system. The fact is that the union didn't fight to end slavery, but the confederates fought to keep it, so what was the point of the effort? The myth of servile insurrection. I'm not liberal or conservative, and I'm not a fence sitter because ik what I believe in. I would love to have a conversation with you (in a respectful manner of course)
Freedom of speech is an American institution. Celebrate freedom of speech. If it wasn’t for freedom of speech I wouldn’t have heard this man’s perspective today. I’m better off for it. Thank you Sir.
Mr. Edgerton you give us a reason to be proud to keep the truth going.. Thank you sir.
A true southerner. Please keep spreading the truth...I'm so sick and tired of ppl putting us down and calling us racist....
If your blood runs deep and far back into the swamps of history in the south there is no way you will not feel a sincere connection to this man and know that he speaks nothing but truth! God bless HK Edgerton! ❤️❤️❤️Thank you my brother!
Awesome Man! Genuine Southerner. God Bless!!
I would pay anything to listen to you and my grandpa have conversations. you remind me so much of him. Thank you for making this video. im not sure how i found this, but i am so glad i did.
From a southern Englishman to a southern gentleman of The South.....God Bless You Sir.
Makes me even more proud to be a southerner. Compelling man.
Prouder
Southerner
Damn straight
This man needs to run for president. This man is a real American.
Yeah I would absolutely vote for him.
Real Live HISTORY book!! This was a great video to watch!!
Proud to say even though not a member I am a Daughter of the Confederacy as well as Daughter of the Revolution . Family been here since 1683.
God bless this great man; from an appreciative and proud fellow Southerner. Cheers P[>
God bless you H.K. ! Knowledge is power ! I wish u would run for President seriouly..... I believe u would truly fix this broken country!
God Bless this man and God Bless the South!
I am a Ga. born confederate and only recently come across this video. I've been searching for a long time for truth that contradicts the main stream teachings. I love the CSA, as well as the USA. I have family on both sides of the spectrum. (NY & GA.) I have friends of many colors, many walks of life. One should judge a person from their actions not the color of skin, back ground, or region of country that person comes from.
Amazing!!! I’m glad to see people who love their heritage and the south!!
Mr. Edgerton is on my short list of heroes. His knowledge and experience are priceless. I pray I get to meet him someday.
I've heard it said that the South is the real America. This was a great video! Big thumbs up!!!
Fascinating! Thank so much for a great history lesson. Mr Edgerton you sir are a National Treasure
I´ve learned more in this 14 min. video more about the american southern history and heritage than in my entire whole life...Thank´sGod that african southern-american people like Mr. Edgerton Exists...
This man has made me even more proud to hold my head up high as a proud Black southern man
Wow, I'm a Southerner and here is some history I never heard. He is so right we all get along good together down here.Great man.😊🇺🇸
In the Biblical worldview, the "slave- master" relationship was MEANT to be one of integrity, love, and dignity... the problem is that it was twisted and abused by the SIN nature of a God- rejecting mentality. That's how it became oppressive in many cases... then history was force- fed to us through a filtered system that's working to control our minds... I'm a Canadian, now living in the USA, and this is a lesson I needed to hear. Thanks so much. 💜
You need to open a History Class start preaching the real truth
It would never be allowed. History is written by the victors. Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.
He is the most amazing human being ❤️ yes is right blacks need to embrace both, and listen, learn from people's like this amazing man God bless him.
I WISH HE WOULD OR WOULD HAVE(I KNOW IT'S AN OLDER POST) RUN FOR PRESIDENT! HE IS TELLING THE POINT BLANK TRUTH! GOD BLESS HIM!!
I would dearly like to shake this mans hand.
His knowledge is to be envied and admired.
I wish all people of all races could understand and see the good that has come out of the bad like Mr. Edgerton
With much Respect and Admiration to you Sir.
You speak so much truth H.K. The southern land shows so much love to all
This is a Southern Gentleman. God bless you sir.
God bless you HK!! Cant wait for you to visit Georgia again!
The north has never understood our history. Thank you for this video.
This the south I grew up in... Thank you for telling the truth!
i am so glad to hear someone who knows history
Thank you for the History Lesson May God Bless YOU and YOURS
True beauty in his words reflecting the connections I feel every time I go 'home'. Thank you HK for all you do! Let us hope the younger generations will pick up and carry the flag and message of Southern Unity and keeping our "hospitality" vibes growing through the generations ahead! Much love and respect.
I salute Mr. Edgerton
As a Kentuckian I am totally proud that the Confederate Battle Flag has a star representing and claiming Kentucky . God Bless The South. Let us all get the true history of the Civil War told . Abe Lincoln was born in Kentucky but he didn't represent us. Jeff Davis was born here and he I am proud of , a true Kentuckian but first and foremost a Southerner.
Im not a military man, not a southern man and I'm not black, but if i saw this man marching with that flag I'd march with him until he could not and then carry him on my back, I'd always carry the truth on my back and in my heart, im a proud patriot and I love the truth and HK speaks it and lives it God bless him.
Thank You Sir for your inspiration wisdom. Gods Speed
Much needed now one national television . Education like no other.
THANK YOU SO MUCH H.K. I LOVE YOU SIR and HOPE TO MEET YOU ONE DAY! This made me cry
Wow... I truly hope to meet you one day sir and have the honor to shake your hand.. God bless you
HK is a fine Southern gentleman and he will treat you just like a brother as soon as you shake his hand.
This is a Great watch for Everyone today, or any day
Me too!!
Pretty cool dude
@@col.bradford-col.rosescvca6081 , yes he does...im a little late, but its the truth no matter when I say it.
What an increadable person....
May you live long. And be remembered forever..
Sir the year is 2020
and your voice needs to be heard
now more than ever
Very good you are the people I grew up with a smart man. Why do people hate each other today is because we don’t know we have more reason to love one another
Thank you for standing up
Thank you good sir.. Thank you for the knowledge.. Thank you for all that you do for preserving the history of the south.. God bless you
This video needs to be displayed in every school in America
Much respect to you sir thank you strongly for your service.
Thank you so very much for sharing the knowledge that you have. and thank you for giving that knowledge to the south and the world
This video needs to be played on tv right now for all to see. This country is beyond divided we need the wisdom this man just spoke. I’m proud to be living in the South of this great land
anyone that grew up in the south knows a lot of what he is saying is 100% accurate.
Heritage NOT HATE
This younger generation needs a history lesson
On my mothers side came from alabama
Yep ❤️
All of it is at least where my roots are from 🤔🥰
God bless you for getting the real truth out there
I could listen to this gentleman talk for hours, he keeps you captivated.
Now that's a hell of a man with a knowledge of the south that should be taught to all kids today. I love to see videos like this where a Southern man of color is so proud of his Southern heritage. Absolutely love it.
H.K EDGERTON I cannot say this enough to you, from the bottom of my heart, I absolutely love you, specially with the LOVE of YaHUaH, yes that is THE FATHER'S NAME, I commented on here before, but for those who may not have seen my comments, I am mixed, I am Aniyunwiyah who people call Cherokee, I am also Irish/German/Norwegian too, I used to hate the flag years ago, until a friend gave me article after articles about the Confederacy, it was never about slavery, now I have H.K. EDGERTON now, and I am very thankful to him. So again H.K. EDGERTON, I absolutely love you, and with the love of YaHUaH AGIDODA(My FATHER)u(And)ya(my) UNETLANVHI(GREAT SPIRIT), yes I spoke Paleo Hebrew and Iroquoian.
Proud you are a part of this great country sir. Thank you for sharing your knowledge sir
Interesting insight into American history very interesting person edgerton is I’m looking forward watching more of him ...from the Uk 🇬🇧👍🏻
I love you my brother and my friend please hear me I am so proud of the truth you’re spreading thank you 🙏 truly a patriot praise our Father in heaven
Nahh I have to comment again God bless you I love you and you have my attention and my respect!!! Always HK Edgerton
This guy is awesome!!!
Thank You for Telling us the truth, I'm Proud of My Southern Heritage, in the South we are known for our Southern Hospitality and Love for Gods People. The Flag is Not a Racial thing to me it's a Heritage.
This is one of the most intelligent people I ever heard!
Thank you so much for making this video!
I'm just finding H.K Edgerton. Thank you for this video. I'm 40 years old and learned alot today. I wish they would teach the truth to our children in schools. The history books from when I was in school to now are completely different. It's so sad.
Wonderful and God bless.
