Bless you and thanks for the kind words, Walter. "The music is an insight into the times, the era, the day of the Civil conflict." You have it exactly right. That is what we've tried to do with this music since we started, back in 1989. You're spot on with the rest of your comments too. It was what it was. It's idiotic to apply today's values and politics to those of the mid-19th century.

Having been born and raised in Denmark, I have no direct connection to Southern culture, but this just about brought a tear to my eye. In these times of political tyranny, mass emigration and social alienation, it is beautiful to see people with a knowledge of who they are and a willingness to passionately defend it. I still hold out a small hope for a turnaround on our side of the pond, and will die before seeing my country fall to the silken-clad fist of globalism, but I am heartened by the knowledge that the South still know and defend their roots, in spite of those who seek to erase them.

@@-jank-willson yes they also teach that the war was a conflict of protectionist tariffs versus free trade. I assume you meant biased as the word came across as based. Perhaps they also realize that the slavery issue was political rhetoric intended to keep England and France from intervening. Perhaps they also realize that it was a war between Southern Planters and Wall Street Bankers over money and tariff. A rich man's war that the poor people fought. Likely they also rejects the Communist ideology of creating racial Warfare between people who exists today and had nothing to do with the conflict. Show me a monument to anyone who was without flaw. Then perhaps show me a country that did not hold slaves anywhere in the entire world.
Please, do not forget the 10.000 italians who volunteered and fought for the Confederacy. The militia of Louisiana had an italian guards battalion, later renamed 6th Regiment European Brigade, and other companies within regiments from Alabama, Virginia, Tennessee and Louisiana.

As a Vietmam vet and student of military history I can state unequitavaly that the Confederate and Union soldier was fighting for one thing and only one thing. The person beside THEM!
Very few confederate enlisted soldiers could afford to own slaves. It ia a misconsection that the majority of Southern Whites were slave owners and lived on large plantations.
For the most part that is true. However there were soldiers of fortune (bounty hunters) on both sides who fought only for profit. The most infamous soldiers of fortune were the Andersonville Raiders. Which were as everyone knows civil war soldiers.
I reckon that this is the updated theme of General Cromwell's New Model Army such as won against the heretics at Dunbar and beyond. The Southern States were and remain our Puritan brothers and sisters who founded a new land under God. What a shame it all fell to nowt but a memory of God's brilliance when the North forgot from whence they came.
Amen. ......and Thank You, Truly. It is quite wonderful to see (and here) individuals of diversity as well as different lands even who understand, or at LEAST attempt to and/or can empathize in these ways or similar mindset/thought process.....or perhaps even philosophy.
@Very Trying And Catholic Irish besides. I see that many Papists wanted to find God fresh and unrevealed in a new land as the Pilgrim Fathers did, away from the greed of the Roman church and their patrons in the aristocracy. Was it ever thus for all God's children? Seeking a new beginning in Israel but struggling as the Israelites did even under our Lord? This is the theme of a simple folk looking to return to God as was when the World was young. There remain the Jesuits, Dominicans, Franciscans and other Roman sects who kept the simple ways of our Lord Jesus during the tides of violence against those not tied to the church in Rome.

NEWS FLASH.... The south lost, the Union won, all men and women are free. Time leap into the 21st century. Only Taliban behavior exhibited here is by all those seen cheering and singing of killing a Union soldier, and wishing that they lived in a land of oppression where old times of degradation and subligation are not forgotten. This is NOT about "southern pride" or heritage. What does that mean anyway? Pride in the fact that the south was completely and utterly defeated? Pride in the fact that the idea of owning another human being as property is so repugnant all civilized nations on the planet stand firmly united against it? The optics of this video with people dress in costumes of 155 years ago, and your comment show a complete disconnect with the reality of not only today but with history. It demonstrates the exact totality of ignorance and intolerance you claim to resent. Remember, "as He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free." I hope these words will provide you with the appetite to reflect... to look into your mirror and into your eyes... and discover those things you value are not valuable at all... but are huge obstacles of hate that serve no human being for the greater good of mankind. The future of our nation depends on understanding our history, embracing the greatness, learning from and correcting our tragic mistakes, to boldly continue this great American experiment. I'll end this with the words of President Ronald Reagan, "You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth..." I pray his words will resonate with you... and others.

I'm British and have always seen the South as the the British part of the Americas. All the English, Irish and Scottish blood that settled there can be seen in the faces, heard in the music and felt in the fighting spirit. The South has smaller and less equipped armies that caused more casualties and fought more fiercely. Long live the South!

I think of a time when Part of the country stood up for something it believed in. Now don’t get me wrong, America is not without its fault, but the heart, the soul, the spirit, and the love for America stands within the south and for any black American today who looks at this and thinks racism you are the issue this is the pride of America, America may and it should, as time goes on we as people and a country should grow as well.

@@jmcci2069 If it were scots irish music it would be in the same key as highland bagpipe music (D major with C and F sharpened), but this is in the same key as Irish music (D natural). Bonnie Blue Flag was based off "the irish jaunting car" from County Kerry. Although today the "Irish Brigade" is thought of as being Northerners, there were several Irish regiments in the South, such as the 10th Tennessee. Many Irish were sent to America by the 'traitors' you spoke of, the IRB, to learn how to fight. The intent was for them to secretly return to Ireland after the war and lead another uprising like that of 1798, but the returning part did not work out, and many of the Republican brothers died in the fighting.

I'm from Southeast Texas and until I started reenacting I never understood the feeling and what it meant to give a Rebel Yell. A good 2 or 3 weeks ago was doing an event in Louisiana and which we were to fall back into a set of trenches hold our ground and then counter-charge we exited the churches through ASAP form to battle line and then gave a loud and chilling Rebel Yell the feeling that I had at that moment is indescribable and when people ask me why I reenact it's that feeling at that moment is why I do it

I feel as though this is what a lot of people are missing in life - camaraderie, community, a shared identity. They say of tradition, that it is not worship of ashes, but preservation of fire. I believe that's perfectly captured here With these people and this music, you keep that fire burning. Moments like these are treasures, and the folk who try to beat you down can never take them from you. In all, I don't think I've seen near as much spirit as in the American South.

Having been born and raised in Denmark, I have no direct connection to Southern culture, but this just about brought a tear to my eye. In these times of political tyranny, mass emigration and social alienation, it is beautiful to see people with a knowledge of who they are and a willingness to passionately defend it. I still hold out a small hope for a turnaround on our side of the pond, and will die before seeing my country fall to the silken-clad fist of globalism, but I am heartened by the knowledge that the South still know and defend their roots, in spite of those who seek to erase them.

And to keep their slaves
Very few confederate enlisted soldiers could afford to own slaves. It ia a misconsection that the majority of Southern Whites were slave owners and lived on large plantations.
For the most part that is true. However there were soldiers of fortune (bounty hunters) on both sides who fought only for profit. The most infamous soldiers of fortune were the Andersonville Raiders. Which were as everyone knows civil war soldiers.
It was more like 39 percent slave owners, and soldiers knowingly fought in the slaver's army. Many also to protect their homes

I reckon that this is the updated theme of General Cromwell's New Model Army such as won against the heretics at Dunbar and beyond.

@Very Trying And Catholic Irish besides. I see that many Papists wanted to find God fresh and unrevealed in a new land as the Pilgrim Fathers did, away from the greed of the Roman church and their patrons in the aristocracy. Was it ever thus for all God's children? Seeking a new beginning in Israel but struggling as the Israelites did even under our Lord? This is the theme of a simple folk looking to return to God as was when the World was young. There remain the Jesuits, Dominicans, Franciscans and other Roman sects who kept the simple ways of our Lord Jesus during the tides of violence against those not tied to the church in Rome.

Only Taliban behavior exhibited here is by all those seen cheering and singing of killing a Union soldier, and wishing that they lived in a land of oppression where old times of degradation and subligation are not forgotten.
This is NOT about "southern pride" or heritage. What does that mean anyway? Pride in the fact that the south was completely and utterly defeated? Pride in the fact that the idea of owning another human being as property is so repugnant all civilized nations on the planet stand firmly united against it?
The optics of this video with people dress in costumes of 155 years ago, and your comment show a complete disconnect with the reality of not only today but with history. It demonstrates the exact totality of ignorance and intolerance you claim to resent. Remember, "as He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free."
I hope these words will provide you with the appetite to reflect... to look into your mirror and into your eyes... and discover those things you value are not valuable at all... but are huge obstacles of hate that serve no human being for the greater good of mankind. The future of our nation depends on understanding our history, embracing the greatness, learning from and correcting our tragic mistakes, to boldly continue this great American experiment.
I'll end this with the words of President Ronald Reagan, "You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth..." I pray his words will resonate with you... and others.

Although today the "Irish Brigade" is thought of as being Northerners, there were several Irish regiments in the South, such as the 10th Tennessee. Many Irish were sent to America by the 'traitors' you spoke of, the IRB, to learn how to fight. The intent was for them to secretly return to Ireland after the war and lead another uprising like that of 1798, but the returning part did not work out, and many of the Republican brothers died in the fighting.

I keep coming back to this video, time and time again probably because of the way it makes me feel. Everyone's having such a great time, I can't help but smile!
I feel as though this is what a lot of people are missing in life - camaraderie, community, a shared identity.
They say of tradition, that it is not worship of ashes, but preservation of fire. I believe that's perfectly captured here With these people and this music, you keep that fire burning. Moments like these are treasures, and the folk who try to beat you down can never take them from you.
In all, I don't think I've seen near as much spirit as in the American South. As a New Englander, you have my highest respect. Keep your wills and your spirits strong!
My daily fix. Can't get enough of it.
Long live the South.
Love from England.
We ARE your 'connection' then ! THANKS !
You guys might just be playing some great old-time music, but you are doing your part to make sure historic revisionism doesn't win.
Amen to that!
Amen brother
Shut the fuck up yankee.

Hello brothers! Greetings to you from the Philippines! I am a missionary here for over 12 years! I am from NC and had 2 g-g grandpa's who were the last surviving CSA vets in the counties they lived! I NC and 1 VA...I listen to this video when I miss home and the old ways of being a Patriot....PS Served 10 years in the USArmy and Iraq War Vet...I carried my g-g grandpa's silk scarf from the Civil War, in a Army pouch that my Grandpa used in WW2! My heart is always in Dixie! Love your work!
Well, God bless you for your patriotism (we need all we can get these days !!!) and your service to God and the U.S. Thanks so much for your kind words. I can tell you sincerely, after 30 years playing this music, to hear such words of support from you and others all over the globe is 'music to our ears'! We are truly humbled and grateful. We may be aging-out, but the music is 'ever-green' as a friend once told us, and thanks to the internet it will go on long after we're gone. Who knew? God works in mysterious ways...
Missionary? Just wondering.
Yes, I am a Pastor/Christian Missionary in the Philippines...since 2007 Mindanao
Thank you for your service to your country and to G-d.
Lol another protestant inbred from the south on our sacred ROMAN CATHOLIC soil
I am an Arab from the Gulf and a Bedouin I love the south and its distinctive heritage, keep it up guys we are with you ❤️
shoukran
Your people still practice slavery that`s what you like and in no way the southern heritage and honour!!
Love from Ayr in Scotland! Brings a smile to my face, love the people of the South. Honest men and bonnie lassies. Stay proud
My region's culture slowly is dying in favor of progressivism, but you have the chance to save yours. God grant you luck
You stand for your culture, you hear me? You fight for it with blood, sweat, and tears.
fuckin loser lol

Where you from?

Union reenactors: *slowly puts on confederate cap over union one*
You know the north won, right?
😂😂😂
It ain’t gonna help once yank opens his mouth.
@@teacherscott4013 The North didn't do much fighting, most of the Northern army were foreign-born mercenaries, viz. Germans who were the only decent soldiers in the Yankee Army, and forced conscripts like poor Irish immigrants who broke out into riots against Lincoln's war in New York City forcing the regime to divert Federal troops in 1863 to crush "his own people". Rich New England "WASP" elites descended of the Puritan menace forced the war but they weren't going to get their hands dirty fighting it, sanctimony and hypocrisy is their hallmark, Charles Sumner, Thad Stevens, etc....the Puritan perpetual troublemakers saw themselves as a new Christ e.g. in lyrics **"As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free"** "Battle Hymn of the Republic" (slightly softened from original song "John Brown's Body" which openly celebrated as messianic a bloody terrorist who wanted to incite bloody Haiti-style slave revolt). Of course Yankee Puritan abolitionist/feminist who wrote" Battle Hymn", Lady Julia Ward Howe, would never even come close to risk dying for anyone in her beloved 'battle'...
I grew up in a border state (on the Union side), but you best believe I'd have dawned rebel grey if I'd have been alive then. Family were fighting family in those states.
It's amazing how music from over 150 years ago is still played. This is the same exact song that soldiers of the south sang in camp. It literally brings tears to my eyes. Thank you 2nd string band for the incredible music that you play.
It is amazing! God Bless Robert E Lee!
This Texas girl is in tears of joy! Thank you 2nd South Carolina String Band for so perfectly exhibiting the Southern spirit. Our ancestors must be clapping and hollering in their graves. Deo Vindice!!!!!!
Well, thanks and God Bless Texas, BonnieBlue2!!!
BonnieBlue 2 my grandma was born and bred a Texican that's all she talked about was how great Texas was how they were independent she even used to tell the story about how she used to play in the Attic with a chest full of Confederate money she didn't know what it was at the time but later she understood she was born in 1905 God bless Grandma Owens
Confederate Renegade, your name alone makes it mighty tempting. :) [>
Kevin Smith I can tell your grandma was a true Texican because we have a tendency to brag about our great State of Texas almost to the point of being obnoxious. I am glad the rest of the South puts up with us. I wonder what happened to the chest full of Confederate money? What a treasure that would be today.
Confederate Renegade, your Southern charm is melting my heart and I am blushing at your proposal. I can see it now.....a ceremony in the Land o' Cotton with the Southern Cross a' flying high and the band playing Dixie. Alas! I am spoken for. But that man better step up or he will surely lose me to the Confederate Renegade!
What a terrific day this really must have been, many more will follow. God Bless The Beautiful South.
This put a huge smile on my face. This is what we should all be fighting for right now, the preservation of our traditions and heritage.
Skinfaxi ....Who do you mean by "we"?
A men the south may have lost the war. But I will say this the southern men and women played hard lived hard and died hard for what the south stood for believed in and died for god bless the north and south may they all rest in gods peace... Well done people well done..
Slavery?
I totally agree that is why I voted to leave Europe and the dictating of laws made by greedy politicians I don't know and didn't vote for
still worried about anybody celebrating the death of another.
As long as people can hum this tune it'll never die.
Love it! The Great State of Texas stands ready! Thank you 2nd South Carolina String Band...... God Bless the South
The Confederate State of Arkansas will have Texas's back. We stand ready.
Im Hispanic and love these songs alot greetings from Texas
Mexican Americans from Texas fought for the south. There's a video called " Mexican Confederates " on U-Tube you might like to watch. My mom was born in El Paso. Viva La Confederacion.
southerns of all races unite greetings from yalls fellow Texan
If my dad wouldn't have moved out, I would have been a Texan too. Great love to the confederacy.
There are plenty of Hispanic Confederate Veterans and some are buried in the Confederate Cemetery in San Antonio. I love our Mexican heritage in South Texas and am so proud of our Tex-Mex culture!
I love Mexicans! I consider them a very important part of southern culture!
American heritage , and culture DIXIELAND,
Brings tears to this Southern boy's eyes.
Immigrating from Wales in the early 1900’s my family has no ties to either the north or the south, however after living in the south for over 20 years now, I’m beginning to understand the hearts of those in the south, they are full of patriotism and tradition. These two songs capture the essence of those feelings.
OOHRAH!
You da Man !!! Thanks !
@@johnnysockpuppet45 My mom's family is from Bama. However, they didn't fight with Alabama Confederates. For example, those Confederates in the Clay-Johnson line were still living in Kentucky and Missouri. And me, I'm Georgian born and bread. My Confederate loyalties lie with the Okefenokee Rifles.

@Jerry Silk God bless the South, though. Specifically
@Jerry Silk Yeah but if it weren't for the South, we wouldnt have those soldiers. Soo....
God bless the South
Dear 'Werewolf', I remember that! Thanks for reminding me! You might be interested to know that we just recently had the same experience at the 150th Cedar Creek event down in Virginia. On Saturday afternoon, the Confederate army marched right behind our sutler setup and, led by my brother, Fred, we all fell in along the road and 'Dixied' them off to battle! It was a really special (and rather extended) moment.
there is vid of it? I would be really happy to see.
Love and respect from Iran. Never let go of your heritage. God Bless the South. May you rise again. God Bless you all!
An absolutely magnificent display of heritage and pride of the south, thank you 2nd South Carolina
If anyone says that US has no culture, then show them this.
They will try to take it away and label it racist. Dont let it happen. It is heritage not hate. Greetings from Germany

That's right. From Sothern boy in Florida.
Colleen Bonamico that s what wehrmacht soldiers you like to call nazis also did according to your disturbing mindset
@@spartanwarrior1 Not every German soldier aligned with Nazism, even in that case many were just defending their homeland.

Ya, I feel it too. and I am up north, but have relatives on my mothers side who are southern!
Greetings to Dixie from Scotland.
Just a few weeks ago, my unit the 28th North Carolina did a living history event at Antietam National Battlefield and we sang this song around the fire. Best thing in the world.
I swear those rebel yells would have those Isis rats running. Respect to you all from England
HEY! Thanks, Paul !
Rebel yells are about to have the CIA (isis boss) running
paul 57 honestly if you support the confederacy the United States hates you but the south will rise again us southerners deserve our southern rights.

I'm from Tucson the confederate capital of Arizona, my great great great grandfather fought in the 11th Alabama regiment of Lee's army of northern Virginia for four years and nothing makes me more proud.
I hear you! If you have visited our Facebook page, you will have noted the 'cover' photo at the top which displays 2 Civil War soldiers. My brother, Fred, and I are equally proud of our CW ancestors - one who served with N.B. Forrest and one with Sherman, both for the entire war in the Western Theater.
This brings the blood up a few degrees, brings the spirit of the cause that our forefathers felt to our hearts. THANK YOU, this is the most stirring rendition I ever heard.
Thank you ,you true Troubadours ,of heritage, 3 cheers for the 2nd South Carolina String Band ! ! !
Much love from Illinois. I wish I could be in this video dancing with all these amazing folk. God bless Robert E. Lee and God bless the South!
AMEN to that ! Wish you could'a been there too. It was amazing ! Eventually, we will be posting a video from the 155th event. Even more amazing...
Heritage not hate
Vive le Sud!!!

@Nob the Knave biggot.
@@ivobreeschoten5442 no the south were the bigots
@@PoisonPinball history is not as black and white as you make it out to be, culture played a role also the plantations were the big source of income back then, so why would any business owner want to loose his or her unpaid workforce, also in the Union there were plenty of pro-slavery individuals too. Your response just shows your bigotry.
@Nob the Knave It is love of land and our people dumb ass.
Wow! May I say thank you to the 2nd South Carolina string band for keeping such beautiful historical music alive, im a 24 year old British man(insert comments about 1776 below) that’s how far your music is appreciated, not only to pay tribute to the heroic dead of the American civil conflict, but because it is damn good to listen too
You realize Britain was almost allied with us Confederates right? My 6th Great Grandfather served in the Royal Artillery during the American Revolution and immigrated to South Carolina. Then in the Civil War, his Grandson fought against the North.
As Yankee Bucktail Reenactor I will say that 2nd South Carolina Stringband hits different and especially CSA music. Amazing Job Guys !!!
Hey, we love you guys ! Just ask Chuck C. We played for you all a couple of times - once for the Co.K, 100th Reunion in 2006 (Driftwood Pa - wonderful gig !!), and again in 2019 (our next-to-last-ever) in Myerstown PA (149th PA Bucktails), which sadly got blown-out by a sudden windshear-T-storm that wrecked the bandstand and our PA system, and soaked us, our instruments, and everybody else during our afternoon show. Thanks for the kind word 'pvtbucktail' !
Never get tired of watching this. Time for the Men of the South to Make a Stand. Defend our Heritage!
I'm Spanish, but when I listen to your music I feel like an authentic Southern... You're amazing folks! Never stop please!
