    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I am an Englishman, but without doubt this is a most stirring and beautiful song that anyone could wish to take into battle with them.

    History, especially the civil war, has always been my favorite thing to study and learn about

    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'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.
