I'm from Italy. I have been many times to the United States but where I left my heart are the southern states. The only place in the world that makes me feel at home, even better. I have friends over there that I talk to on a weekly basis. When the pandemic ends, I'm also thinking about moving out. You in the band are amazing. Bravi! Bravissimi!
What I love about this song, is that in WWI 1917 when the first american soldiers were getting off the boat in England/ France in preperation to attack Germany, the bands that were hired to greet them, played this song, as they were unable to think of a song that better represented the States at the time, not because of any racial reasons, but becasue it was unusually upbeat considering the state our country and in turn the world was, yet our attitude was unwavering, and to the Europeans, they saw no difference between north and south, Yank or Dixie. We were just the crazy bastards happy to go to war for them, and considering this and the union version were representatives of our bloodiest war, saw it fitting to play it for us.
Imagine having the audacity to think this song is racist. This is art. edit: Thank you for the pin, gentlemen. Years later, I still love this piece, and your rendition.
Aiden Hall It’s a good song but what it represents because of movements after the war like the white league makes it something to be disdained, much like how the battle flag of the army of northern Virginia is a good flag but because of what people used it to represent after the war it became very much a symbol of oppression.
i think that many people often associate this song with racism due to the fact it was made for minstrel shows. some versions of the song do actually have lyrics that support abolition but the original was supposed to be for a black face performer talking about how, despite being freed, he wants to go back to the plantation i do genuinely like the song but i cant support many of the racist views the song originally intended
Would those be the same kind of 'morons' that 'ran off' to Lexington Green and the Concord Bridge in 1775... a mere 86 years earlier ?@@withlessAsbestos
@Cameron Putt did you miss the part of us history that said the rich in the confederacy exploited the poor white population to fight a war in favor of slavery? it was all about slavery. how can you defend that and not be racist
"DixieLand" History: "Although known as a Southern anthem, “Dixie’s Land,” aka “Dixie” was written for the minstrel stage by Daniel Decatur Emmett in New York City. The song was so popular in the South that it became generally accepted as the rallying song of the Confederacy. Abraham Lincoln loved the song since he first heard it at a show by the Rumsey and Newcomb Minstrels in Chicago in 1860. According to a fellow attorney who attended the show with him, after “Dixie’s Land” was played, Lincoln clapped and shouted “Let’s have it again! Let’s have it again!” Edit: I made a mistake about the roots of the Dix (and I knew better). Thanks to Ted Lawrence for reminding me. "DixieLand" comes from The Citizen's Bank of Louisiana, chartered in 1833. The bank issued 10-dollar notes, with the red colored notes printed with the French "dix" ("ten") on the back. They were known as "dixie" notes and were traded especially in the cotton trade up the Mississippi. To have a pocketful of Dixies meant you came from New Orleans and had sold your cotton. Up north, they knew "DixieLand" was down south where they traded in "dixies".
Excellent work, George !!! One of the best depositions on the subject to date ! Something new, too ! I never heard the 2nd paragraph before. Interesting !
Louisiane, DIX, Chesapeake battle, Lafayette, french armies fighting the brits, GT de Beauregard, Gen Mouton, the French left an impressive mark on US history didn't they? Saddly, we didn't find good land for wine...
As a 78 year old southern I love hearing this wonderful song. Should be sung often. It is a piece of history and those who attempt to erase history whether you agree or not are doomed to failure. History should be truthful and compete not woke. Thanks guys.
@Mikeduke324 , No I do not think so. It is just in my eyes, I see this as a beautiful piece of music. This is not any type of flexing, Just something I thought of.
I mean, it isn't even "the Confederate's" song... it's from before the war, and was (and still is, imo) a folksong. This is no display of racism, its preservation of culture, a culture which is under constant scrutiny by people today, saying statues and pieces of cloth offend them. This is all coming from a yankee, but I swear, after moving here to NC, god, I'm really trying to prove to my native neighbors that I am a southerner at heart. This is something to admire. God bless Dixie's Land! And thank the 2nd South Carolina String Band! You guys are masters of your art, and the fact that whenever you hear Dixie's Land being played anywhere, it's most likely being played by them, speaks volumes about their talent. Thank you all for preserving history! God bless

I was born down south and my grandfather lives in the middle of Appalachian Virginia.

In Dixie's land where I was born in early on one frosty mornin, Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land! Well I wish I was in Dixie, Hurray!, Hurray! In Dixie's land I'll take my stand, to live and die in Dixie. Away, away, away, down south in Dixie. Away, away, away down south in Dixie! Old Mrs. Mary Will the weaver, William was a gay deceiver! Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land! And when he put his arms around her, smiled fierce as a forty pounder, Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land! Well I wish I was in Dixie, Hurray!, Hurray! In Dixie's land I'll take my stand, to live and die in Dixie. Away, away away down in Dixie. Away, away, away down south in Dixie!

Old Mrs. acted the foolish part, she died for a man that broke her heart, Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land! Well I wish I was in Dixie, Hurray!, Hurray! In Dixie's land I'll take my stand, to live and die in Dixie. Away, away, away, down south in Dixie. Away, away, away down south in Dixie! Now here's to the health of the next old Mrs, and the gals that want to kiss us, Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land! And if you want to drive away sorrow, come and hear our song tomorrow!

The comments are replied/hearted to/by the channel owner and they must get tired of seeing it too.
Well, aren't you kind to say so ?! Yeah, it gets downright boring to see that some folks just don't have any sense of history or context. The knee-jerk 'racist song' complaint from people who haven't a clue about the actual lyrics gets tedious. I don't mind the 'rattlesnakes and traitors' ones all that much because some are just joking and some are from sincerely 'union' folk having a bit of fun. Thanks for taking the time to transcribe it all for anyone who might want to educate themselves. There are more verses, but that's the way we play it.
As a northerner i kinda have to agree with you on that. Firstly I want to say that when I first saw this I immediately had the knee-jerk reaction to press dislike (now reversed) and still listened, but it was this reply of yours that changed my mind to a certain degree. Secondly I do agree that writing this song off as racist is stupid ( I even never did it), and stems at if you could separate the art from the artist (or in this case fans of the song). There is no debate that the song was popular with the traitors in the confederacy who in some states said they seceded due to slavery (which is where the racism reasoning comes in) (also Lincoln liked it as people like to point out). However if I am correct dixie was written in 1859, so it could be argued that for some it has nothing to do with the civil war. But i am not too familiar with the different versions of dixie but i am on a decent level of familiarity with this version and it seems that the only mention of war is "i will take my stand to live and die in dixie" so at least with this version i find it hardly if not at all connected to the war. Lastly I have to note how noble and incredible it is that you reply to comments to this day and i just wanted to use my last point to thank you for being dedicated it this rendition.
@@ariejohnson1944 Im glad it did something good. I don't know too much about other versions but one of the first ones I remember had "To live or die in Dixie" which the "or" rather than an "and" was on purpose, to say that they will go to the death or win. The same one also had "To arms!" as a line in the chorus which was a literal call to action. It was the first version I ever became familiar with living in my state of Kansas. I know that these guys don't mean anything racist or prejudiced against anybody, and im glad some people can see it rather then just say its something and not take any care to really see.
@@ariejohnson1944 Thanks a lot for that, arie ! It is really gratifying to - once again - encounter an open mind. I am going to share an interesting piece of information with you that might further illuminate the matter (if you don't mind taking a few more minutes out of your day). The song was written by Dan Emmett in 1859, as you noted. But here's the interesting part - the part that makes the 'racist' tag a lot harder to pin: The song was first published in 1859, in NYC, and has long been attributed to Daniel D. Emmett of Mt. Vernon OH. The song was created for use as a 'walk-around' in the closing portion of a minstrel performance, which featured the talents of the individual members of the group. I will cede to you that 'minstrelsy' as a genre was based upon racist stereotyping, so no need to argue THAT point here. However, there is strong and credible evidence that a musical free black family, named Snowden, also lived in Mt. Vernon. They were neighbors of and friends with Emmett. An entire book was written about their association, whose central premise is that the song in question, "Dixie's Land”, may very well have been a collaboration with Emmett, or even entirely written by the Snowdens and co-opted by Emmett (a quite common occurrence in the years before the emergence of copyright laws). If true, it would seem a hard case to make that the Snowdens too were racists. If you would like to learn more, here's a link to the book: www.amazon.com/Way-Up-North-Dixie-Confederate/dp/1560982586/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=Snowden+family+and+Dixie&qid=1593278800&s=books&sr=1-1

It's a disgrace. In Nazi Germany and the USSR, all traces of those political figures who fell into disgrace were removed from all aspects of public life. Now the same mentality of intolerance and supression has spread here.
Rewriting history and altering the past was once something that was practiced in the USSR and the Third Reich. I never thought that it would spread to the US.

@@brianleabickerton3918 When Louis XIV revoked the Edict of Nantes (it had been a religious tolerance edict), it unleashed a wave of persecution against the French Protestants, of which the Hugenots were the largest sect. It created a situation comparable to the Nazi persecution of the Jews, which had the effect of driving out some of their most talented people. Because of their emphasis on Bible study, they had a very high literacy rate, and were a group of professionals that included watchmakers, paper makers, glass blowers and lense makers, and a host of other modern and necessary skills needed in what was for the time a modernizing economy. Many fled to Switzerland, many others went to Holland, some to England, and yes, many went to the New World. Their descendants love among us to this day.

@Messenger Colombia is a mess politically, in the past the country suffered from centralism, then came the separation of Venezuela and Ecuador and later a civil war. Then the government decided to split offices only between the two main political parties to end the war and the commies got angry, but most importantly, they've also got a nice argument to use as a banner for people to join their cause - corruption and a new oligarchy. Their arguments where real, the government was truly corrupted, but their objectives as a faction where socialist crap. Then came the bandorelism criminals and later the everlasting guerrillas supported bot by Cuba, Venezuela, Ecuador (for some time) and even Nicaragua. The conflict has been long and violent, the commies lost support. But the governments from the right are into way too many corruption scandals, they own a lot of land and distribute a lot of tax money into their own families, so the left is gaining way too much support, those idiots don't think about politics but of some sort of revenge. And their populist representative is as corrupt as their counterparts in office, even worse as he was an ex-guerrilla member and the destitute mayor of Bogotá for not doing actually anything and messing up with the city. It's confusing speech is what has many people who seem to suffer from amnesia supporting him What's left clean of the country's political environment are the Center and Center-right parties. The rest is a bunch of chimpanzees who only use the congress to throw rocks at each other and sleep rather than to do something useful for the country. But you know, as Plato criticized democracy for most people to choice sofists, populists and clowns as leaders rather than actual politicians, philosophers and people with actual knowledge who are truly commited to that charge. For now our country is a polarised mess and advance is slow. We don't need more liberalism or left policies, we just need to end corruption and the conflict will be over.

This sort of thing will not be legal in 40 years. The Stars and Bars is already restricted, ,, will be prohibited within 20 years. Blatant expressions of White Southern Culture will follow close behind. Statues , symbols , songs, artifacts, even true History will be either modified to fit the agenda,,, or eliminated completely. The South will fall to the Agenda of Rejection and Repentance for all aspects of Western Civilization.. It's a World Wide phenomenon driven by demographic replacement. The Waves of Replacement on a global scale, are relentless. White women = below replacement fertility POC= just open your eyes and look around, you will see the future.
The Northwest Imperative gets Bad Press (supremacism, Nazi, murderous, hatefully Whites),,or NO press at all. So bad start right there. The entire Great Replacement conversation has been dismissed as the ridiculous hallucinations of privilaged Whites. Currently no Governmental Authority, whether Local, State, Federal, will tolerate even a designated White School District, ,let alone a White Region. A single All White School would not be tolerated. A grassroots movement to the Northwest may gain some traction. But in an environment of strong POC activism(sanctioned by Gov, Corporations, and private donors),,,, and weak, unrecognized, silenced or even Outlawed White activism, any progress made will be broken up by forced integration. Parts of Eastern Europe seem to be the only possibility for a future White Homeland.. The UN and EU will fight hard to stop it..
As I was born in the heart of Dixie, Alabama, when I hear this song I think of helping my grandparents out on the farm. What I would give to go back to my family farm, but it’s gone just like my grandparents. I will never leave Dixie, the north and west isn’t for me

What is happening in the States and here in the UK makes me sad and angry in equal measure. The ignorant and bigoted fools who are creating mayhem must not be allowed to destroy our freedoms. This music is for ever. Thanks so much chaps.
it's very unfortunate what i happening here. many blame the media for pushing false narritives since 2015 and others blame the democratic leaders literally allowing this rioting to happen. but i blame the poorly informed people who are taught that violence is the answer. little do they know that the more damage they cause and non stop finger pointing will make trump win by a land slide victory. i can only hope less innocent people are hurt and less property damage occurs before peace is restored.
@@dankestvonmemen76288 you seem like a smart fellow, so I will share my unbiased knowledge on this song. The song itself was written to be sung in black face and was about a slave who was freed, but wants to go to the plantation because it was "great". This was actually a popular concept for propaganda used by the confederacy.
i love it! since im related to 4 confederate grandfathers thank you so much for keeping our countries' music alive! I truly hope I can become governor one day!
A timeless classic that never gets old. One of the most significant and valuable pieces of music in American history. Simply a great, great tune! And very well played, too.
This song does not make a single mention of the war, or of slavery or of racism, yet the cry-bullies are still offended by it? Goes to show that their purpose is not to be anti-racist, but anti-Southern.
I’m British and visited the south in May and gosh, what a region. The history and cultural connections to England are quite remarkable and very interesting. Britain and the US, particularly the southern states have a unique relationship and history. Let’s all work together, live together and be at peace as one people regardless of colour. Lots of love to you from London, England my southern brothers and sisters ❤️🇺🇸🇬🇧
I had several of mine and my wife's ancestors fought for the South in the Civil War. My Grandmother born in 1910 called it the War of Northern Agression and she told stories that her Grandmother told her about what they went through in New Hope Ga when the Battle of the Hell Hole landed in their Yard. The North took all of the food killed all of their live stock burned their crops Raped several women and it was Hell on Earth! The took the food from the White and the Black families! When the slaves were freed they still lived on my family's farm and they took my family's last name and stayed close like family for years. My Grandmother actually knew several of them. She agreed that Slavery was wrong and she said that her Grandparents felt the same way. But that their home was being attacked and the cruelty that they faced was beyond comprehension. I know no one wants to hear this side of the story but I am Proud to Be from Ga! Proud to be from the South! Proud of my Family that fought for the South! And Proud of my Heritage and my Race!! And I do NOT feel superior to anyone! Or hate anyone! Everyone needs to hear both sides to the story!! I love all people and I wish people would STOP trying to tear down my Heritage my History and Hate me for the color of my Skin!! I am not a Racist and if this post offended you ask yourself one question....are you a racist? If you dislike me based on the Color of my Skin or because of my Heritage things that I have no control over then my Friend it is you that is Racist! Great song!!😊👍
Thanks very much for your wonderful comment, 'Frank & Tina'. I will be sharing it with the rest of the band. I'm sure they'll be as pleased as I was to read it. It's too bad that much of the current U.S. population only has time for the 'headline' and few seem to recognize that history is complicated and/or care to explore more deeply. It could very well cost us the America we grew up in...
And the South is rising again! They are now the guarantors of the spirit of liberty, of the Constitution, of family, of men as men, women as men, of civility and Christian virtue, of God, of romance, of sanity.
I get that completely. This song was popular before the Confederacy. Northerners loved it too. Abe Lincoln loved it. My grandmother from Virginia taught us Dixie. This same woman resigned from the DAR when they refused to let Marian Anderson sing in Consitution Hall. That's how I know it's about southern pride and is how many saw it. Sad it was and is used to represent the Confederacy, civil war.
Susan Todd- What is sad, is the last sentence that you wrote. It’s a shame your Virginian grandmother didn’t educate you any better on the war and The South.
I am a born American northerner but have lived in the South most of my life. I couldn't care less to ever live in the North. The South is where my heart lives. God bless the South.

@@justpreston5583 Now, is that great or WHAT ?! Thanks to all y'all !
What I love about this song, is that in WWI 1917 when the first american soldiers were getting off the boat in England/ France in preperation to attack Germany, the bands that were hired to greet them, played this song, as they were unable to think of a song that better represented the States at the time, not because of any racial reasons, but becasue it was unusually upbeat considering the state our country and in turn the world was, yet our attitude was unwavering, and to the Europeans, they saw no difference between north and south, Yank or Dixie. We were just the crazy bastards happy to go to war for them, and considering this and the union version were representatives of our bloodiest war, saw it fitting to play it for us.
Pretty cool story ! Thanks for sharing !

It’s a good song but what it represents because of movements after the war like the white league makes it something to be disdained, much like how the battle flag of the army of northern Virginia is a good flag but because of what people used it to represent after the war it became very much a symbol of oppression.
Abraham Lincoln also liked this song

i think that many people often associate this song with racism due to the fact it was made for minstrel shows. some versions of the song do actually have lyrics that support abolition but the original was supposed to be for a black face performer talking about how, despite being freed, he wants to go back to the plantation
i do genuinely like the song but i cant support many of the racist views the song originally intended

"DixieLand" History: "Although known as a Southern anthem, “Dixie’s Land,” aka “Dixie” was written for the minstrel stage by Daniel Decatur Emmett in New York City. The song was so popular in the South that it became generally accepted as the rallying song of the Confederacy.
Abraham Lincoln loved the song since he first heard it at a show by the Rumsey and Newcomb Minstrels in Chicago in 1860. According to a fellow attorney who attended the show with him, after “Dixie’s Land” was played, Lincoln clapped and shouted “Let’s have it again! Let’s have it again!”
Edit: I made a mistake about the roots of the Dix (and I knew better). Thanks to Ted Lawrence for reminding me. "DixieLand" comes from The Citizen's Bank of Louisiana, chartered in 1833. The bank issued 10-dollar notes, with the red colored notes printed with the French "dix" ("ten") on the back. They were known as "dixie" notes and were traded especially in the cotton trade up the Mississippi. To have a pocketful of Dixies meant you came from New Orleans and had sold your cotton. Up north, they knew "DixieLand" was down south where they traded in "dixies".
Excellent work, George !!! One of the best depositions on the subject to date ! Something new, too ! I never heard the 2nd paragraph before. Interesting !
Louisiane, DIX, Chesapeake battle, Lafayette, french armies fighting the brits, GT de Beauregard, Gen Mouton, the French left an impressive mark on US history didn't they?
Saddly, we didn't find good land for wine...
Cool history!
Lincoln was a Southerner. He probably had to sleep on the couch a lot, his wife's family owned slaves.🤔
that's not surprising, Kentucky is actually the land of Lincoln. Like everything around here the North took credit for thing's in our society😔

I mean, it isn't even "the Confederate's" song... it's from before the war, and was (and still is, imo) a folksong.

@@thoughtsuponatime847 >muh evil cuz of slavery
By that logic every nation in the past that had some what of a slave trade should be view as evil and if you do support those nations you're muh ignorant racist ,

Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land!
In Dixie's land where I was born in early on one frosty mornin,
Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land!
Well I wish I was in Dixie, Hurray!, Hurray! In Dixie's land I'll take my stand, to live and die in Dixie.
Away, away, away, down south in Dixie. Away, away, away down south in Dixie!

Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land!
And when he put his arms around her,
smiled fierce as a forty pounder,

Away, away away down in Dixie. Away, away, away down south in Dixie!
His face was as sharp as a butcher's cleaver, but that did not seem to grieve her!
Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land!

Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land!
Well I wish I was in Dixie, Hurray!, Hurray! In Dixie's land I'll take my stand, to live and die in Dixie.
Away, away, away, down south in Dixie. Away, away, away down south in Dixie!
Now here's to the health of the next old Mrs,
and the gals that want to kiss us,
Look away! Look away! Look away!

And if you want to drive away sorrow,
come and hear our song tomorrow!
Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land!
Well I wish I was in Dixie, Hurray!, Hurray! In Dixie's land I'll take my stand, to live and die in Dixie.

I got tired of seeing "traitor" when I read comments, so I actually typed up the lyrics that are in the song. The comments are replied/hearted to/by the channel owner and they must get tired of seeing it too.
Well, aren't you kind to say so ?! Yeah, it gets downright boring to see that some folks just don't have any sense of history or context. The knee-jerk 'racist song' complaint from people who haven't a clue about the actual lyrics gets tedious. I don't mind the 'rattlesnakes and traitors' ones all that much because some are just joking and some are from sincerely 'union' folk having a bit of fun. Thanks for taking the time to transcribe it all for anyone who might want to educate themselves. There are more verses, but that's the way we play it.
As a northerner i kinda have to agree with you on that. Firstly I want to say that when I first saw this I immediately had the knee-jerk reaction to press dislike (now reversed) and still listened, but it was this reply of yours that changed my mind to a certain degree.
Secondly I do agree that writing this song off as racist is stupid ( I even never did it), and stems at if you could separate the art from the artist (or in this case fans of the song). There is no debate that the song was popular with the traitors in the confederacy who in some states said they seceded due to slavery (which is where the racism reasoning comes in) (also Lincoln liked it as people like to point out). However if I am correct dixie was written in 1859, so it could be argued that for some it has nothing to do with the civil war. But i am not too familiar with the different versions of dixie but i am on a decent level of familiarity with this version and it seems that the only mention of war is "i will take my stand to live and die in dixie" so at least with this version i find it hardly if not at all connected to the war.
Lastly I have to note how noble and incredible it is that you reply to comments to this day and i just wanted to use my last point to thank you for being dedicated it this rendition.
@@ariejohnson1944 Im glad it did something good. I don't know too much about other versions but one of the first ones I remember had "To live or die in Dixie" which the "or" rather than an "and" was on purpose, to say that they will go to the death or win. The same one also had "To arms!" as a line in the chorus which was a literal call to action. It was the first version I ever became familiar with living in my state of Kansas. I know that these guys don't mean anything racist or prejudiced against anybody, and im glad some people can see it rather then just say its something and not take any care to really see.
@@ariejohnson1944 Thanks a lot for that, arie ! It is really gratifying to - once again - encounter an open mind. I am going to share an interesting piece of information with you that might further illuminate the matter (if you don't mind taking a few more minutes out of your day). The song was written by Dan Emmett in 1859, as you noted. But here's the interesting part - the part that makes the 'racist' tag a lot harder to pin: The song was first published in 1859, in NYC, and has long been attributed to Daniel D. Emmett of Mt. Vernon OH. The song was created for use as a 'walk-around' in the closing portion of a minstrel performance, which featured the talents of the individual members of the group. I will cede to you that 'minstrelsy' as a genre was based upon racist stereotyping, so no need to argue THAT point here. However, there is strong and credible evidence that a musical free black family, named Snowden, also lived in Mt. Vernon. They were neighbors of and friends with Emmett. An entire book was written about their association, whose central premise is that the song in question, "Dixie's Land”, may very well have been a collaboration with Emmett, or even entirely written by the Snowdens and co-opted by Emmett (a quite common occurrence in the years before the emergence of copyright laws). If true, it would seem a hard case to make that the Snowdens too were racists. If you would like to learn more, here's a link to the book: www.amazon.com/Way-Up-North-Dixie-Confederate/dp/1560982586/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=Snowden+family+and+Dixie&qid=1593278800&s=books&sr=1-1

A sad day in my birthplace Dallas, TX. The city council voted today to remove Gen. Robert E. Lee statue from Lee Park. I am blessed to be a Texican! And God Bless The South.

Disgusting and shameful that they're doing this during the Harvey recovery. The cowards don't want media attention.
It's a disgrace. In Nazi Germany and the USSR, all traces of those political figures who fell into disgrace were removed from all aspects of public life. Now the same mentality of intolerance and supression has spread here.
Feliberto Martinez how can you remove the statue of a historical figure from a park named after them? That's retarded.
Rewriting history and altering the past was once something that was practiced in the USSR and the Third Reich. I never thought that it would spread to the US.

I'm french. I've been really passionate about the history of the civil war for month now. It starts to make me interested on American revolution also or the history of New York. For the first time, I think, the history of the civil war gives me the envy to travel to USA and I also strarts to feel linked to America as a contiuation of my dear Europe in the new world. And your band is the best band of traditional songs from the civil war, for sure !
you should read up on your American francophone brothers the Cajuns and Acadians. vivre les francophone.
also go listen to the balfa brother's- La danse de Mardi Gras
The more you read about American history, especially in the 18th century, you will see how much it is tied up with Europe. It should be obvious, but many in Europe and America seek to divide our common history.
You are welcome, with Southern hospitality. To get the full experience, I suggest going to a small-medium sized Baptist or Presbyterian church. There will be Southern Gospel music that you should hear.✝️❤️🙂
The French Huguenots settled in North and South Carolina.
@@brianleabickerton3918 When Louis XIV revoked the Edict of Nantes (it had been a religious tolerance edict), it unleashed a wave of persecution against the French Protestants, of which the Hugenots were the largest sect. It created a situation comparable to the Nazi persecution of the Jews, which had the effect of driving out some of their most talented people. Because of their emphasis on Bible study, they had a very high literacy rate, and were a group of professionals that included watchmakers, paper makers, glass blowers and lense makers, and a host of other modern and necessary skills needed in what was for the time a modernizing economy. Many fled to Switzerland, many others went to Holland, some to England, and yes, many went to the New World. Their descendants love among us to this day.
You don't have to be from the south to appreciate the history and the culture of those blessed states. Much love and appreciation from New Jersey.

Greetings from Colombia. South America
Que Colombia resuelva su propia guerra civil!
Hello from columbia south Carolina lol
I thought you would say South Carolina 🤣
My wife is Colombian from Cali. I am a from Petersburg. We dont need a national government for nothing!
@Messenger Colombia is a mess politically, in the past the country suffered from centralism, then came the separation of Venezuela and Ecuador and later a civil war.
Then the government decided to split offices only between the two main political parties to end the war and the commies got angry, but most importantly, they've also got a nice argument to use as a banner for people to join their cause - corruption and a new oligarchy.
Their arguments where real, the government was truly corrupted, but their objectives as a faction where socialist crap.
Then came the bandorelism criminals and later the everlasting guerrillas supported bot by Cuba, Venezuela, Ecuador (for some time) and even Nicaragua.
The conflict has been long and violent, the commies lost support. But the governments from the right are into way too many corruption scandals, they own a lot of land and distribute a lot of tax money into their own families, so the left is gaining way too much support, those idiots don't think about politics but of some sort of revenge. And their populist representative is as corrupt as their counterparts in office, even worse as he was an ex-guerrilla member and the destitute mayor of Bogotá for not doing actually anything and messing up with the city. It's confusing speech is what has many people who seem to suffer from amnesia supporting him
What's left clean of the country's political environment are the Center and Center-right parties. The rest is a bunch of chimpanzees who only use the congress to throw rocks at each other and sleep rather than to do something useful for the country.
But you know, as Plato criticized democracy for most people to choice sofists, populists and clowns as leaders rather than actual politicians, philosophers and people with actual knowledge who are truly commited to that charge.
For now our country is a polarised mess and advance is slow.
We don't need more liberalism or left policies, we just need to end corruption and the conflict will be over.
Absolutely beautiful, keep up the southern spirit!

This sort of thing will not be legal in 40 years.
The Stars and Bars is already restricted, ,, will be prohibited within 20 years.
Blatant expressions of White Southern Culture will follow close behind.
Statues , symbols , songs, artifacts, even true History will be either modified to fit the agenda,,, or eliminated completely. The South will fall to the Agenda of Rejection and Repentance for all aspects of Western Civilization.. It's a World Wide phenomenon driven by demographic replacement.
The Waves of Replacement on a global scale, are relentless.
White women = below replacement fertility
POC= just open your eyes and look around, you will see the future.
Reasonable Speculation Unless we fight it and make a nation of our own. Have you heard of the Northwest imperative and the Northwest front?
The Northwest Imperative gets Bad Press (supremacism, Nazi, murderous, hatefully Whites),,or NO press at all.
So bad start right there.
The entire Great Replacement conversation has been dismissed as the ridiculous hallucinations of privilaged Whites.
Currently no Governmental Authority, whether Local, State, Federal, will tolerate even a designated White School District, ,let alone a White Region.
A single All White School would not be tolerated.
A grassroots movement to the Northwest may gain some traction. But in an environment of strong POC activism(sanctioned by Gov, Corporations, and private donors),,,,
and weak, unrecognized, silenced or even Outlawed White activism,
any progress made will be broken up by forced integration.
Parts of Eastern Europe seem to be the only possibility for a future White Homeland.. The UN and EU will fight hard to stop it..

Everyone needs to hear both sides to the story!! I love all people and I wish people would STOP trying to tear down my Heritage my History and Hate me for the color of my Skin!! I am not a Racist and if this post offended you ask yourself one question....are you a racist? If you dislike me based on the Color of my Skin or because of my Heritage things that I have no control over then my Friend it is you that is Racist!
Great song!!😊👍
Thanks very much for your wonderful comment, 'Frank & Tina'. I will be sharing it with the rest of the band. I'm sure they'll be as pleased as I was to read it. It's too bad that much of the current U.S. population only has time for the 'headline' and few seem to recognize that history is complicated and/or care to explore more deeply. It could very well cost us the America we grew up in...
@@2ndSouthCarolinaStringBand Amen! I totaly agree!
And the South is rising again! They are now the guarantors of the spirit of liberty, of the Constitution, of family, of men as men, women as men, of civility and Christian virtue, of God, of romance, of sanity.
I get that completely. This song was popular before the Confederacy. Northerners loved it too. Abe Lincoln loved it.
My grandmother from Virginia taught us Dixie. This same woman resigned from the DAR when they refused to let Marian Anderson sing in Consitution Hall. That's how I know it's about southern pride and is how many saw it. Sad it was and is used to represent the Confederacy, civil war.
Susan Todd- What is sad, is the last sentence that you wrote. It’s a shame your Virginian grandmother didn’t educate you any better on the war and The South.
Super song and well-played/sung.
School: we are going to South Carolina as a field trip.
Girls: eww it’s so hot
Boys:
Away down south in the land of traitors, rattlesnakes and alligators

@@vrjackp shut the fuck up yankee
@@happeloffical4187 ah yes. The land of eternal construction.
I am a born American northerner but have lived in the South most of my life. I couldn't care less to ever live in the North. The South is where my heart lives. God bless the South.
As someone born and raised in the south there’s only 2 negatives no snow and high humidity so if you like the heat then there’s no better place in the Americas
No, i don't care about the politics. I only care about the soul and emotion put into this song about their homeland.
Thanks, Froot.
Sorry but this war is a political war sorry and that song is the anthem of the south
@@TCB405 So what?? It doesn't mean we support the cause, it means we like the song. So fuck off
@@julianrezac7638 I'm not saying that you shmock I like the song to you shmock
@@TCB405 I suppose you view Girls Und Panzer as Nazi propaganda.
Amazing job, one of if not the best renditions I've heard. Keep up the good work boys.
Is that the 'Jim Bob' I used to serve with ? 7th Tenn ? Thanks for the kind word either way !!!
I just love the southern music. Greetings from Australia.
