I grew up in a suburb of Atlanta, and can remember my 8th grade Georgia studies teacher was an old woman who referred to the civil war as "the war of northern aggression" and to General Sherman as an irredeemably evil man, lol.
Born in GA Baptist Hospital in Atlanta in 1960. Lived there till 2005, before running away from home to WA state. This brought back plenty of memories. I totally see some people losing their mind over much of this content. Its a great history lesson.
I was born at Ga Baptist in 62
Odd… most of my family from Atlanta has moved to Washington State too
Georgia Baptist Hospital 1957 😊
I'm a Mississippian who moved to Washington state in 2021.
Gave birth in Ga Baptist hospital in 1980.
Choked up a few times remembering with your help some special times as a resident “Georgia Peach”. I’ve travelled and lived elsewhere most of my life and I can’t quickly cite any place that has devolved as much as the areas in which I lived in Georgia.
Heartbreaking!
Life long resident of Georgia and proud of it. Nostalgic blast from the past, this film and with only a few exceptions, I've been to almost all these places. Most, as a kid on field trips from school. Say what you will, we looked pretty good back then.
Jeckyll is also where the federal reserve was created and where the first trans Atlantic phone call was made
70 year old native. I remember the sand blasting at Stone Mountain. All of this film is correct.
The Creature from Jekyll Island is a good video to look up 😅
Me born in 2000 in Dahlonega it's really cool seeing it back then
My home state 🧡
Me too!
Michigander here ... interesting film .
I was in Mystic Coonnecticut where they used to build ships. To water-proof these ships they used pitch which was gotten from pine trees in the South, most notably Georgia. So much pitch came from Georgia that its nickname was 'the pitch stare' which later on morphed into ' the Peach State" which is the motto today on Ga liscense plates.
The industry is called "Naval Stores' for that reason. They distill turpentine, pitch. & make rosin from pine sap. You can still observe these being made at the Georgia Agrirama in Tifton, GA. It is just off I-75 on your way to Florida. Well worth your time to visit.
Ha ha, that must have been one of those Yankee leg pullings. Things aren't always what they seem, but Georgia is the Peach State on account of it producing so many peaches, and apparently were the earliest to reach the markets up North each year, which made them notable. South Carolina is a bit jealous, as today they produce more peaches.
You're right about the pine tree sap, but have never heard the moniker, Pitch State, and I have ancestors who were in the industry. In fact, my name comes from a great grandfater who passed away after an accident while tree riding, one of the industry's mainstay jobs, or use to be.
I live in georgia, and I love it here
Me too.
Me too
Apparently fort paulaski was supposed to be visited by lincoln but he was shot beforehand
I spent 2 yrs in Georgia and loved it👍👍
04:53 I'd wager that guy is 3 sheets to the wind.
Did voice over guy do Deputy Dog?
It's pronounced Lou-iss-ville, not Lou-ee-ville.
So much better in 1960!!
and cleaner
Absolutely amazingly correct. I'm a born and raised Atlantin. 66 years old. This is a correct film.
Same here. I remember when Lenox Square was an open mall and trolleys ran on Peachtree Rd.
@@Jim-ie6uf yep
What is “Alantin”?
Born and raised in Atlanta
You must've been on Officer Don's Popeye Club at WAGA? We all milked Rosebud too
I wanted some Augusta but sadly not
Yeah, don't think they even metioned the Masters, the state's premiere sporting event.
@@aldinlee8528 All the golfers were either asleep or driving their Corvettes.
A more simple time-would go back in a heartbeat.
Yes that's the Georgia I remember.
Born at Ga Baptist, learned to walk on Savannah Beach before it was renamed Tybee. Spent every weekend on the new lake Lanier and actually went into Atlanta every time the Braves played or a rock concert was on. I miss it. Can't even go to Stn Mountain anymore since the Panthers started marching.
There's been good and bad happen. And some characters for sure. Lester Maddox. James Brown, geesh, I better not get started.
Panthers...black Panthers? I left in '83.
Makes me sick to think of the absolute beauty that I've apparently missed out on. Now it's just concrete everywhere. Disgusting. I've see the old paintings of how this country looked before industrialization, and it was magical.
Now it’s over crowded and crime ridden. That’s why me and the wife are leaving in the near future.
My goodness! Was that a wild savage ripping away that girl's dress? Oh my! Stone Mountain is rather frisky, now, isn't it? I suppose will have to avoid that area.
Yes please avoid the whole State.
@@sugarplumenigma4850 ...and what is that supposed to mean, sugar?
Stone Mountain isn't near as much fun as it used to be.
Atlanta and Georgia might have been ok back in the 60's. But it sucks now! And I'll never set foot in it again. I had to leave my beautiful home in Sarasota, FL. in 1990. My wife was an only child, and her mom had alzheimers. Her dad wanted us to sell and move in his house and live in his basement (The Dungeon!). I was so pissed! His home was nice but not mine. And we didn't get along that well. He lived about 3 miles from Six Flags in Mableton. Her mom lived 10 more years before she passed and her dad. Well that old bastard lived to be 96!! I hated everything damn thing about Atlanta! My wife passed away from cancer in 2014.
I quickly sold that house from hell. When I left her dad's f'ing ghost still walked the halls and slamed doors. I always said heaven didn't want him and hell wouldn't take him!
And about this video. Ya'll just had to show a skit on slaves being sold and blacks working in the cotton fields. We'll let me tell ya, if your not black or Mexican your treated like a second class slave in Atlanta!
So damn glad to be back in Florida. Ya'll can have Georgia and all it's glory!
Yes sweetie ❤
Georgia before Civil Rights........
In other words, a better place . . .
Better before civil rights? How so, laughing boy?
@@mackdaddyg321 Well: Crime was a fraction of what it is now, kids could still read, you could walk outside at night, oh, I could go on and on and on, but YOU know what I'm talking about, DON'T you . . . boy . . .
@@mackdaddyg321 Welllllll??????
@@misterwhipple2870 you obviously don’t understand that it’s not that those things didn’t happen or honestly not even that it was just rarer, it was simply easier. Easier to do crime, easier to not get caught and easier to be absolutely oblivious to the world. You should be thankful
Much of this cool history stuff pretty much eliminated by the Communists.
Politically crazed much? What was eliminated? Who were the communists that (didn't) eliminate it? Or are you just spewing nonsense against imaginary people you hate?
I get what you're saying. Being a Georgia native, I agree with you 100%.
The entire metro Atlanta area now consists of transplants from many libtarded dysfunctional cities that have brought their Hollywood mentalities to suck the blood dry of this beautiful state.
@@harpfully Probably a lot of it has been eliminated. Do you think all those flags of each Confederate state are still flying at Stone Mountain Memorial Park? I would bet that they aren't.
@@harpfully Call them what you will but those of us who've been in Georgia for a while know who they are by any name.
@@GNMi79 Sadly, they're not.
He didn't even mention Andersonville National Cemetary. Now the National Prisoner of War Museum, it is a humbling reminder of the price America paid to free the slaves.
Camp Butler in Illinois, Camp Chase in Ohio, and camps at Elmira, New York , Go find those States and get humbled by their prisons . America , my foot .
@@sugarplumenigma4850 The video was a Georgia tourist film. Those are in other states.
The Union wasn't fighting to free the slaves. That's revisionist history. It was fighting to keep the Southern states from seceding. You might just as well claim that America fought WWII to save the Jews. That's nonsense.
If you still think the leaders of this country sent Over 600,000 young men to die for "slavery" you may be missing a few screws buddy
@@christopherness4274 Same reason it wasn't in this film. You don't appeal to Yankee folk by touting an infamous Confederate prison for Union soldiers.
long live the Yankee!
Not the savage redskins 🤦🏾♂️ I'm glad I'm a 80's baby but I still don't fuk with stone mountain.
Was this during segregation ?
Unfortunately not
@@neon_Nomad Do you know what the word "segregation" means?
Yes, the early 1960's were segregated. By 1970, most schools were integrated, mostly through bussing.
Oh yeah, the last remants of it, at least in the U.S. Did you skip a whole week of history class?
@@aldinlee8528 Excuse me. I am an Australian 🇦🇺
Born and raised in Georgia, it has gotten better, more advanced and less racist reach year. I don't understand what you folks could possibly be missing so much from the 60s snd 70s... racism? Poverty?
Born and raised in New York. I think people miss how life was simple, people had manners, were respectful. I believe most white people were not really racist in my opinion but in every city, there's always a group of people that will hate and that thinks they are better than others, not just white people. You can come to NYC and you'll see it for yourself, it hasn't gotten better. Lol
ATLANTA is a shit hole now .and 50 miles in any direction.
You ain't kidding! I'd leave to far away if I wasn't tied down for health reasons.
23:10 WHY WOULD ANYONE WEAR A SUIT AND TIE IN THE GARDENS???? STUPID!!
Because it was the 1960s, and people had class. They didn't go out in public in tights or pajama pants.
Have you never watched Father Knows Best? lol
Definitely a dated documentary, sad to see how much the Confederacy was celebrated around the state, but not surprising. Still an interesting watch though.
If you were a young man at that time, you'd have joined up to 'defend' your state. Millions did then, just as they do today. You should admire people for defending their homeland from invasion. I had gr-gr-gr's who joined up, or were conscripted. One though hid out when the soldiers were around, the family history being that he didn't believe in the 'cause', sounds good for cocktail party fare in today's times, but it could also have been a convenient excuse to avoid the shooting; albeit they were farmers, with no slaves.
Another died from wounds at South Mountain, a Captain, buried at Frederick, Md., leaving behind a big family back in the piney woods of southeast Georgia, don't think they had even one 'slave'. Same for an Uncle, Matthew, who died a no doubt painful death of acute diarrhea, after serving in Mississippi, while being nursed in an Atlanta hospital. I think of him when I see Gone With the Wind, and that famous scene of all the injured men. He is buried in Oakland Cemetery.
Then I had black and mulatto gr-gr-gr's, who owned more slaves by far than any of my caucasion ancestors. In fact, I can only think of one other, owned by a gr-gr-gr who was a minister.
Glass houses.
@@aldinlee8528 what are you on about? And why don’t you spell out whatever gr means instead of speaking in code to a stranger
Poor uneducated young men fighting so that rich educated slaveholders could keep their slaves weren’t noble. They were just rubes.
I think we should celebrate the Confederacy. Are you from up north?
Gr = Great (Grandfather)
There should be a state funded housing grant to bring African Americans back to Forsyth County.
Very politically incorrect, by today's woke standards. 😂
But that's why I like it.
So the artist captured FDR’s image, why couldn’t they complete the BACKGROUND!!!!!!! STUPID!!!!!
I think the painting stopped as a memorial to his passing.
I gave this video a thumbs down because they simply forgot a certain group of Americans' that helped in a large way to make GA beautiful and did so with their own two hands !! Only today this can be mentioned and not hidden from the Books.. Sadly.. God help and bless us all. I have lived here all my life along with my family, and I love it here..
You think people at this time did not know about African servitude? Georgia would never have existed without the Anglo-Saxon settlers who laid the railroads, erected the courthouses, and brought civilization to the wilderness. The slaves were given their freedom 150 years ago and now get to live in a modern nation. They have been more than repaid.
@@JohnsonAlberto-sj9bzwell said
Your sky fairy is irrelevant.
you do realize this was made in the 1960s right?
And give me some examples of how african americans made Georgia beautiful.
Savage redskins ?
Stone Mountain with Jefferson Davis. Stonewall Jackson Robert E Lee. Slavers all.
??? Is this for real
Are you naive?
No, they just made it all up to trigger you.
Get over it or stay on the plantation
The Indian attack "show" was real but thankfully ended long ago. The carving was completed and is still there.
As for the slavers, lots of non-Confederate historical figures had slaves too. We should keep everything in prespective. It was wrong. It was also a different time.
Stop trying to put 2024 values on a time that was 60 years ago.
