Of course 2nd South Carolina sting band! Love the band and your music! This is by far the best version of Bonnie Blue Flag out there. Amazing to be able to speak with you. Hope the band continues to thrive in the years to come!
I have loved these old civil war songs since I was a child in Ireland. In my opinion Ken Burns' documentary 'The Civil War' was the greatest piece of television ever made.
I am so happy to hear you say that! Incredible to talk to a real Irishman, many of the songs from the war are, in fact, Irish! You should take a listen to my favorite Civil War Irish musicians, Derek Warfield, and David Kincaid! I have actually posted one of Kincaid songs recently. Search for “Mary My Darling!”
We learned quite a few southern songs in school music class in the late 50's and early 60's, some confederate and some early 19th century. I guess today it is not done. I heard someone say once that if you loose your music, you loose your culture.
When Mississippi seceded from the Union, someone raised the flag with a blue field and a single star above the capitol building in Jackson, proclaiming the birth of the Republic of Mississippi. This incident inspired the author of "The Bonnie Blue Flag" to write the song. "The Bonnie Blue Flag" lyrics were expanded as other states subsequently seceeded.
@backwoods dweller What is now Alabama was initially a part of the Mississippi Territory. From it's inception in 1798, the Mississippi Territory had been envisioned to eventually being split into two states. (There was some debate about whether the Mississippi Territory should be split by northern/southern halves or eastern/western halves. The eastern/western split was decided upon mostly because most of the rivers generally flowed north to south.) Once the state of Mississippi was admitted to the Union in 1817 the Alabama Territory was established; Alabama later became a state in December of 1819. The Civil War did not effect the geographic organization of the two states.
I remember hearing my great aunts talking about how their fathers argued about the war. They were strong for the Union until Lincoln announced invasion plans. The oldest uncle and the only slave owner in the family joined the 1st Alabama Union. My two great grandfathers joined the Confederate 51st Alabama Partisan Rangers and the 18th Alabama Infantry. My two great uncles were with the 10th Alabama and were killed on the same day at Gettysburg. My cousin J.J. Neely commanded a brigade under Forrest. Let those who can remember hold them in your hearts.
My great grandfather fought at Gettysburg too under Howard in the 1st corps under the XI corps and died holding Cemetery Hill during Picket's charge. I believe we should remember our past but we should not glorify it. We have to remember the civil war did not start because only because of 'Southern rights' but also for slavery.
My great, great grandfather, William Parker Barfield fought with the 13 th Alabama infantry Co. I otherwise known as the Roanoke invincibles. He died from wounds received at the battle of Mechanicsville and is buried in Hollywood cemetery, Richmond, Va. Hard to believe that I know more about how and where he died than his own wife and children. Respects from Texas.
A culture of owning people and being traitors to your own country? Question: What country was the confederacy fighting? Answer: The United States of America 🇺🇸 Conclusion: They were traitors🤔
I've got and old recording of my great grandmother singing this song. No doubt recalling it from her father who sang it while marching to battle for the Confederate Army.
Herr Shannon.........Quite amazing that the oral and musical tradition of the Bonnie Blue made it onto a recording by your Great Grandmother, Whether she learned it by musical score or in the folk realm, be proud and grateful for the gift she has given.
One of my ancestors was Captain James Munroe Whitson of the 8th N. Carolina Infantry. Fought at Roanoke and Nashville; imprisoned twice, ended the War a Colonel. Buried on Roanoke in 1899.
@@battlecross8540 I don't know much on the 8th, my people were, 6th, 20th, 21st, 2nd NC batt and one was a Lt in Thomas's legion or the 69th as some refer to it cause apparently he couldn't take orders and conform to the regular army.. only one of note was William Hill of the 21st or "Billy" to family and friends, most noted for his eagerness to stick his revolver in Iverson's face after Gettysburg, probably why he never made full Col... Of the whole family Clemmons, Hill and Harris there were 39 in NC regiments with one in the homeguard at age 66 and 4 in various VA cavalry units.. I'm rambling now, anyway how did the 8th end up at Nashville? And which time 62 or the fool Hoods 64 caper?
@@hissyhonker220 In 62, afterwards they were sent to multiple fronts mostly in and around Tenn and Georgia. After my ancestor was captured he in 64 he spent the rest of the war in a POW camp in Delaware where took the oath of allegiance following Lee's surrender at Appomattox. And your right, Hood was a moron.
My ancestors fought against the South. That was a long, long time ago, and it hurts me to see statues of Southern heroes torn down. 'm not saying I would fight any differently than my great great grandfather, but damn it, it is OUR history, and I weep as it is re-written. Thanks for keeping these songs and OUR history alive.

"And here is our Confederacy strong we are and brave, like patriots of old we'll fight our heritage to save! And rather than submit to shame to die we would prefer" Most based line
The music taken from a fabulous Irish song... and combined with these patriotic lyrics, became a SO NOTORIOUS great song. Basically, all American music is based in Irish music, since SO MANY THOUSANDS (if not million) went immigrates to both North & South. (And they fought each other, Irish brother vs Irish brother, for the same dream from different bank of the same river: a new life in the New World).
Romilos Fronimides So true Romulus! There is a scene in “Gods and Generals” where the Union Irish brigade charges at the confederate Irish brigade at Fredericksburg, its very emotional. I am sure you can look it up here on TH-cam. I am glad you enjoyed this video!
Makes sense, consisering this does have a jiglike quality to it. And so true about the Irish brigade; I have been to the battlefield in Gettysburg(I live in York,PA, about twenty-five miles west of Gettysburg) and once when I was there and saw cloverleafs on some of the monuments I thought to myself, "Hmm, I wonder if that has anything to do with the Irish, looking like a shamrock?" and bingo, I was right, the Irish brigade in the Civil War!
@@MrJamieMurph4141969 if you see the clover on a flag in any civil war re-enactment that is hancocks core 3 rd core if memory serves me right in mead's army
@@HistoryBoy Man... I'm JUST FINNISHING the subtitles (in Greek) for this EPIC FILM!!!... Most are against this film, they calling it "Southern Propaganda", but they simply are morons!!!! This film is actually a BIOGRAPHY of one of the MOST NOTORIOUS & SUPERB American generals, the "Stonewall" Jackson!!!... The film is covering the first 2,5 years of American Civil War, which was PURE SOUTHERN all the way - the South had ONLY MAJOR VICTORIES in the battlefields, the North was suffering ONLY huge casualties & defeats in those two first 2,5 years!!!... So, why's is "propaganda"? It's PURE REAL HISTORY, the Southern boys were kickin' asses during that era!!!... Also, it's HUGE EMOTIONAL film, comparing with the (great) other film "Gettysburg" (which to me, actually, they looks like two films of a "dilogy"!!! Even the same actors playing the same characters!!!)... In "Gettysburg", we have only great scenes of warfare, of the battle... In this AMAZING "Gods & Generals" film, we have tones of amazing emotional moments! Not only the SUPERB scene between the IRISH BRIGADE vs the Irish boys of Georgia (ACTUAL happen, indeed these Irish fellas killed each other in that battle), but we have so many other incredible scenes, like the "Billy" meeting "Johnny" (the two soldiers) in the middle of the river and changing goods (cigar for coffee)!!!... We have the superb bond and emotional releationship of general Jackson with the young girl Jenny (that girl who died in the end and broke Thomas' hard)!... We have many great dramatic scenes, not "just" warefare scenes... ...About the South; why they've lost the war? Well, two words: Robert Lee!!!... Yap, the CSA general was their hero and God, but also their doom. Why? Because his SO MUCH HONEST & NOBLE character! Robert Lee (as many others, like Jackson or Longstreet) didn't like the civil war, they didn't like this brother-to-brother bloodshed. So, Lee simply remained on DEFENDING "mode", he was defending Virginia (and the rest South) but he wasn't AGGRESSIVE (or a bit ARROGANT) and move the war INSTANTLY and FAST to the Northern territory - he did it VERY LATE, almost 3 years later (Gettysburg battle)!!! That was a huge dissaster for the South. The South had MONEY, they had WEALTH, they had the plantations (food), yes... But, they didn't had INDUSTRY (North did), they didn't had MANPOWER to fill their cusualties (North did, many liberated blacks but most important EUROPEAN IMMIRGATS!), they didn't had GUNPOWER (weapons, canons, etc - North had much more)... and most important, South didn't had TIME TO SPEND (North had ONLY TIME, they needed as much as DELAY they could - and unfortunatelly Lee GAVE that much delay)... If South had INVADED NORTH in the 2nd year of War... now we would talking about TWO North America's nation, the USA ...and the CSA, with "Bonny Blue Flag" as banner!!!
My great grandfather and his 2 brothers all came from Ireland in 1858 and got embroiled in this horrible conflict, they were all cavalry officers serving under Earl Van Dorn of Confederate Cavalry. They all had several children who were in around the Memphis country Side., once the children were all independent the brothers and their wives moved back to Belfast, but thankfully my grandfather stayed and here were we have been for 150 years.

@backwoods dweller I'm not going to be a CSA sympathizer as their cause was morally unjust, but I will say that history and heritage should never be erased, even in Germany the horrors of Nazism and Socialism must be taught, because as we see today when Socialism is starting to be tolerated because the evils of it aren't taught anymore because of political correctness. If the south shall rise again one day, as long as they change their cause under a new confederacy without slavery and race problems, then I, a New Yorker will be most certainly taking up arms in Dixie if our own constitutional rights continue to be trampled on!
I’ve become totally immersed into the Civil War, the confederacy and its complicated history. My direct ancestors were all Confederates from North Carolina and Tennessee but I’ve got 28 total confederate ancestors (so far I’ve found). Two Yankees whose family moved to Missouri before the war. What has surprised me the most is how so many people on social media that squawk about it have such a rudimentary view of its complications, even in Reconstruction.
Please restrain from leaving comments including: hate speech, and insults. All comments that include those things, will be removed. Thank you for your understanding.
Fair enough. But isn't the second line supposed to be "Fighting for the property we gained by honest toil"? (And it is a more significant change than most people realize.)
@@kennethkellogg6556 I have yet to see any videos where that line is as you wrote. Although I'm not exactly certain which line you're talking about. Are you saying the line "We are a band of brothers and native to the soil. Fighting for our liberty, with treasure, blood and toil" should be "We are a band of brothers and native to the soil. Fighting for the property we gained by honest toil" ? Because it sounds a lot like the singer is saying the first one.
@@dextervinant4874 Yes, that's the line. The original lyrics were written by Harry McCarthy (1834-1888), a songwriter from Ireland. My primary source is "The Blue and the Gray" by Henry Steele Commager, an excellent but massive compilation of lettters, memoirs, diary entries, etc. from both sides of the Civil War. Chapter XVI is "Songs the Soldiers Sang". You'll also find a lot of information at: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bonnie_Blue_Flag
Looking back on it now, yes, you are completely right! Those are the lyrics, I have heard countless versions of this song now, and that appears in only a few of them... but it is indeed the original line.
The politically correct would have you believe the Confederates were not Americans. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Thank God we still have the freedom to hear such heartfelt patritotism and conviction, even if it be for a flawed cause.

I love this song. Growing up Southern is very special and I feel a kinship with all who know and remember. I feel sorry for anyone who does not have that history and who will never feel as much a part of something grand, as I do.
@@killingheros3554 oh, I do; some do, some don’t. It’s harder to involve children in their history now with so many valueless distractions and misinformation and extended families scattered and lost. Stable communities and contact with many sources of information, such as relatives who were there or were within one or two generations, are important and we lose more and more of that everyday.
For Southern Rights, Hurrah!! Again, as an English friend of the South, I salute you for your inspiring and patriotic songs. In spite of turbulent times, God bless you and the South. May the true heritage of the South ever endure.
you are welcome ( from down under ) can you tell me why they are pulling down statues of confederate soldiers and generals in the u.s. at the moment. You cant change history
+Sgtgewart smith because a bunch of liberals & democrats want to rewrite history & twist facts about the war & vote a liberal president in who will pander to the whining libs dems & minorities. Sic Semper Tyrannis!!!!
As someone from England I found it sort of sad when you were pulling statues down over there. I mean, it's history now not politics & right or wrong these guys deserve to be remembered. The war was a tragedy and the dead should be respected. I would've thought US history is preciously short as it is, without wiping some away.
The statues were in the vast majority erected in the 20th Century by societies and politicians perpetuating the Lost Cause. They also had the intent of alienating the African American citizens of those states and cities where statues were erected and had little to do with commemorating the dead of the Civil War. By removing the statues it corrects the wrong created by racists and white supremacists. There is nothing to prevent new statues being erected to commemorate the dead, they should just be about that and not some secret agenda to tell black people they don't matter.
@@ianmcclellan7695So they were erected during the twilight years of surviving veterans in memory of their struggle & loss etc. You sound too sure about that ''secret agenda'' stuff, by building a statue in the town square? Wouldn't be too 'secret'.
Great one son, bet there millions who've never heard this beautiful song. When I think about the struggle and how few people know about it it makes me sad for our Country.
I’m just here because the band played this at the ball following The Battle Of Pleasant Hill reenactment and it’s got a good rhythm to it. Wasn’t expecting the dive into history.
The company I worked for had a retired female soldier as sales manager, she was from Tennessee. When ever she came to hqs to view new products developing in our lab I'd whistle this tune. I always got a big smile from her.
Wonderful song. My ancestors were Scottish sent to Georgia by the Brits in 1747 for being Jacobean supporters of Bonnie Prince Charlie. They left Georgia and headed West in 1861 to avoid war; as free men sent earlier in the 1700's in prison ships as indentured English prisoners they could not support slavery. As Scottish Highlanders they kept out of the Civil War, they lived peacefully as crofters with the Indians in Oklahoma when it was Indian Territory. The family Moved later to Texas from whence I was born.
MrMike5814 Kentucky split into 2 governments. The state legislature had a majority vote for neutrality. The other half formed a new state government with Bowling Green as the capitol. Jeff Davis accepted them as the 13th Confederate state which is why the flag has 13 stars. The US Government did not recognize the confederate state govt and their secession from the Union. Therefore the US govt considered KY as neutral while the Confederate govt accepted KY as a state. So it depends on which govt you ask about it lol. As far as the CSA and the southern half of KY citizens are concerned they were Confederate members. The north KY population along the OHio wanted neutrality....mainly because they were in the crosshairs of being the front lines. A very similar story with Missouri. Both were fully recognized as full members of the CSA.
Kentucky orphan Brigade Their is no argument about Kentucky. It’s a documented fact that it was accepted as a member of the CSA. The issue is that the US refused to recognize it as one. But the US refused to recognize all of them. They just called them states in rebellion and Lincoln never recognized the CSA as a nation.
2:37 The lyric given here differs from the version by sung here by The 2nd South Carolina String Band (a fantastic band, btw): "... at length has linked her fate". Another published version from 1861 reads "... at last has sealed her fate".
Scott History the only reasons the south split is 1. Taxation which was more of a minor cause and 2.because they were poor and depended on their agricultural economy since they couldn’t industrialize, the north attempted to take this away from them by ending slavery because the north wouldn’t feel the impact of abolition due to their industrialization. The south was merely defending their economy, but since history is written by the victory they are depicted as horrible assholes that wanted slavery for no reason.
Very good! I have before me close to 700 10mm Confederate soldiers I have painted this past winter and they all seem to be raising a cheer when I play Bonnie Blue Flag! Hoorah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears the single star! Thanks!!
Beautiful! As an old New Yorker, born and bred, I will always be a southerner at heart. So sad that the Christian values, manly gallantry and feminine graces took such a hit. America was never the same....
Looking for information about this war, I have found more than 200 officers from lieutenant to colonel, with Spanish surnames, only of Louisiana and Florida, several of the Tiger Brigade. Long live to South.
3 to 6 CSAs named Munoz we're killed in New Mexico NorthWest Texas area. More Munozes from Florida and Georgia served for the CSA. 3 served in the Union Army.
I also love history a lot, especially the Civil War. It is sad to see so many people tearing down Confederate monuments. Videos like this will keep actual real history alive. Great video!
@Carson Kramer: Small minded people attempt to repress and deny and/or change history. Do they really think removing statues or banning flags can erase history? It shows how ill educated and unrealistic they are. There are too many of us who remember and you can’t remove and ban us all.

Romilos Fronimides So true Romulus! There is a scene in “Gods and Generals” where the Union Irish brigade charges at the confederate Irish brigade at Fredericksburg, its very emotional. I am sure you can look it up here on TH-cam. I am glad you enjoyed this video!
Makes sense, consisering this does have a jiglike quality to it. And so true about the Irish brigade; I have been to the battlefield in Gettysburg(I live in York,PA, about twenty-five miles west of Gettysburg) and once when I was there and saw cloverleafs on some of the monuments I thought to myself, "Hmm, I wonder if that has anything to do with the Irish, looking like a shamrock?" and bingo, I was right, the Irish brigade in the Civil War!
@@MrJamieMurph4141969 if you see the clover on a flag in any civil war re-enactment that is hancocks core 3 rd core if memory serves me right in mead's army
@@HistoryBoy Man... I'm JUST FINNISHING the subtitles (in Greek) for this EPIC FILM!!!... Most are against this film, they calling it "Southern Propaganda", but they simply are morons!!!! This film is actually a BIOGRAPHY of one of the MOST NOTORIOUS & SUPERB American generals, the "Stonewall" Jackson!!!... The film is covering the first 2,5 years of American Civil War, which was PURE SOUTHERN all the way - the South had ONLY MAJOR VICTORIES in the battlefields, the North was suffering ONLY huge casualties & defeats in those two first 2,5 years!!!... So, why's is "propaganda"? It's PURE REAL HISTORY, the Southern boys were kickin' asses during that era!!!...
Also, it's HUGE EMOTIONAL film, comparing with the (great) other film "Gettysburg" (which to me, actually, they looks like two films of a "dilogy"!!! Even the same actors playing the same characters!!!)... In "Gettysburg", we have only great scenes of warfare, of the battle... In this AMAZING "Gods & Generals" film, we have tones of amazing emotional moments! Not only the SUPERB scene between the IRISH BRIGADE vs the Irish boys of Georgia (ACTUAL happen, indeed these Irish fellas killed each other in that battle), but we have so many other incredible scenes, like the "Billy" meeting "Johnny" (the two soldiers) in the middle of the river and changing goods (cigar for coffee)!!!... We have the superb bond and emotional releationship of general Jackson with the young girl Jenny (that girl who died in the end and broke Thomas' hard)!...
We have many great dramatic scenes, not "just" warefare scenes...
...About the South; why they've lost the war? Well, two words: Robert Lee!!!... Yap, the CSA general was their hero and God, but also their doom. Why? Because his SO MUCH HONEST & NOBLE character! Robert Lee (as many others, like Jackson or Longstreet) didn't like the civil war, they didn't like this brother-to-brother bloodshed. So, Lee simply remained on DEFENDING "mode", he was defending Virginia (and the rest South) but he wasn't AGGRESSIVE (or a bit ARROGANT) and move the war INSTANTLY and FAST to the Northern territory - he did it VERY LATE, almost 3 years later (Gettysburg battle)!!!
That was a huge dissaster for the South. The South had MONEY, they had WEALTH, they had the plantations (food), yes... But, they didn't had INDUSTRY (North did), they didn't had MANPOWER to fill their cusualties (North did, many liberated blacks but most important EUROPEAN IMMIRGATS!), they didn't had GUNPOWER (weapons, canons, etc - North had much more)... and most important, South didn't had TIME TO SPEND (North had ONLY TIME, they needed as much as DELAY they could - and unfortunatelly Lee GAVE that much delay)...
If South had INVADED NORTH in the 2nd year of War... now we would talking about TWO North America's nation, the USA ...and the CSA, with "Bonny Blue Flag" as banner!!!
I can't stop playing this Song, It has feeling you know?

@backwoods dweller I'm not going to be a CSA sympathizer as their cause was morally unjust, but I will say that history and heritage should never be erased, even in Germany the horrors of Nazism and Socialism must be taught, because as we see today when Socialism is starting to be tolerated because the evils of it aren't taught anymore because of political correctness. If the south shall rise again one day, as long as they change their cause under a new confederacy without slavery and race problems, then I, a New Yorker will be most certainly taking up arms in Dixie if our own constitutional rights continue to be trampled on!

I’ve become totally immersed into the Civil War, the confederacy and its complicated history. My direct ancestors were all Confederates from North Carolina and Tennessee but I’ve got 28 total confederate ancestors (so far I’ve found). Two Yankees whose family moved to Missouri before the war. What has surprised me the most is how so many people on social media that squawk about it have such a rudimentary view of its complications, even in Reconstruction.
The South was right, pal. Take that any way you want it, too.

Fair enough. But isn't the second line supposed to be "Fighting for the property we gained by honest toil"? (And it is a more significant change than most people realize.)
Maybe, I am not sure.
@@kennethkellogg6556 I have yet to see any videos where that line is as you wrote. Although I'm not exactly certain which line you're talking about. Are you saying the line "We are a band of brothers and native to the soil. Fighting for our liberty, with treasure, blood and toil" should be "We are a band of brothers and native to the soil. Fighting for the property we gained by honest toil" ? Because it sounds a lot like the singer is saying the first one.
@@dextervinant4874 Yes, that's the line. The original lyrics were written by Harry McCarthy (1834-1888), a songwriter from Ireland. My primary source is "The Blue and the Gray" by Henry Steele Commager, an excellent but massive compilation of lettters, memoirs, diary entries, etc. from both sides of the Civil War. Chapter XVI is "Songs the Soldiers Sang". You'll also find a lot of information at: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bonnie_Blue_Flag
Looking back on it now, yes, you are completely right! Those are the lyrics, I have heard countless versions of this song now, and that appears in only a few of them... but it is indeed the original line.
The politically correct would have you believe the Confederates were not Americans. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Thank God we still have the freedom to hear such heartfelt patritotism and conviction, even if it be for a flawed cause.

As someone from England I found it sort of sad when you were pulling statues down over there. I mean, it's history now not politics & right or wrong these guys deserve to be remembered. The war was a tragedy and the dead should be respected. I would've thought US history is preciously short as it is, without wiping some away.
Those involved in tearing down American history had no part in making it, and feel worthless in comparison.
@@EEYore-py1bf They will ultimately join those they sought to tear down in the dust of history.
forgive but never forget...
The statues were in the vast majority erected in the 20th Century by societies and politicians perpetuating the Lost Cause. They also had the intent of alienating the African American citizens of those states and cities where statues were erected and had little to do with commemorating the dead of the Civil War. By removing the statues it corrects the wrong created by racists and white supremacists. There is nothing to prevent new statues being erected to commemorate the dead, they should just be about that and not some secret agenda to tell black people they don't matter.
@@ianmcclellan7695So they were erected during the twilight years of surviving veterans in memory of their struggle & loss etc. You sound too sure about that ''secret agenda'' stuff, by building a statue in the town square? Wouldn't be too 'secret'.

Wonderful song. My ancestors were Scottish sent to Georgia by the Brits in 1747 for being Jacobean supporters of Bonnie Prince Charlie. They left Georgia and headed West in 1861 to avoid war; as free men sent earlier in the 1700's in prison ships as indentured English prisoners they could not support slavery. As Scottish Highlanders they kept out of the Civil War, they lived peacefully as crofters with the Indians in Oklahoma when it was Indian Territory. The family Moved later to Texas from whence I was born.

BLACK DEATH Sure buddy sure. And where exactly did you get this from? Yourself? A quick google search tells me the exact opposite of your claim.
Dont forget Kentucky and Missouri.....there are 13 stars for a reason.
MrMike5814 Kentucky split into 2 governments. The state legislature had a majority vote for neutrality. The other half formed a new state government with Bowling Green as the capitol. Jeff Davis accepted them as the 13th Confederate state which is why the flag has 13 stars. The US Government did not recognize the confederate state govt and their secession from the Union. Therefore the US govt considered KY as neutral while the Confederate govt accepted KY as a state. So it depends on which govt you ask about it lol. As far as the CSA and the southern half of KY citizens are concerned they were Confederate members. The north KY population along the OHio wanted neutrality....mainly because they were in the crosshairs of being the front lines. A very similar story with Missouri. Both were fully recognized as full members of the CSA.
Delaware also wanted to be part of the confederacy but as it was in the north, it obviously didn’t go down well with the USA
Kentucky orphan Brigade Their is no argument about Kentucky. It’s a documented fact that it was accepted as a member of the CSA. The issue is that the US refused to recognize it as one. But the US refused to recognize all of them. They just called them states in rebellion and Lincoln never recognized the CSA as a nation.
Wrong.
They were union
2:37 The lyric given here differs from the version by sung here by The 2nd South Carolina String Band (a fantastic band, btw): "... at length has linked her fate". Another published version from 1861 reads "... at last has sealed her fate".

Scott History the only reasons the south split is 1. Taxation which was more of a minor cause and 2.because they were poor and depended on their agricultural economy since they couldn’t industrialize, the north attempted to take this away from them by ending slavery because the north wouldn’t feel the impact of abolition due to their industrialization. The south was merely defending their economy, but since history is written by the victory they are depicted as horrible assholes that wanted slavery for no reason.
