Long live the confederacy. If I could whistle I'd whistle Dixie. 😁🙄

This is part of the American history in the same manner that Nazi history is to Germany. A confederate flag to the African American is no different than what the Swastika is to the Jew.

Love this song. Brings tears to my eyes like the National Anthem.

As a 4th generation Hispanic Texans I'm proud to be from the south. Won't have it any other way 💯

Born and raised Virginian here. My 3rd grandaddy was a Captain with the 54th Virginia infantry. He fought for what he believed was best for his family and State. At enlistment in Newbern, VA he and the other enlisted men signed a document stating they were enlisting to protect their state and slavery. I’ve read a copy of it. He fought for his beliefs, not mine. That said, I admire his bravery, gallantry and the fact he made it home.

What is unfortunate and regrettable is today's America, which has become criminal and bloodthirsty, whose ideals have been flouted and destroyed, we must listen to the prophetic words of Einsonower about the military-industrial complex.

My Dearest David, I cannot thank you enough for this song which is so Beautiful and True!! I miss seeing you my Dear Friend! Hope to see you sometime soon!! Much Love and Peace ☮️, Always, Neal :)) 🎤🎶🌄👍🌈🖖

Trump the next PRESIDENT

First war with media coverage I'm I'm guessing.

The only use we have for a confederate flag today is toilet paper. What vile history.

It all started with democrat founder..andrew jackson.

Terra do espírito livre!

**CSA** ***GOD BLESS AMERICA*** ****FREEDOM IS"NT FREE LET'S SAVE BURMA**** THANKS !

Just love this

As an Australian citizen I love this song

Thank you for this lovely video. I really enjoyed it and I'm not even a Democrat.

Always loved this song, sang/hummed it many times. Too bad for what it represents.

Yes , the good old days........... For White folks !

It will always be a deep and unique American song. The Confederate general statues belong in the many military historical parks. . - from a Massachusetts native. (FWIW)

The actual history of the song Dixie appears to be less associated with the South than the North. Ohio born composer Daniel Decatur Emmett wrote "Dixie" around 1859. Emmett said he had written "Dixie" in a few minutes, in a single night. The first performance of "Dixie's Land" was at Mechanics' Hall, New York. According to Robert LeRoy Ripley (founder of Ripley's Believe It or Not!), "Dixieland" was a farm on Long Island, New York, owned by a man named John Dixie. The lyrics of the song are supposed to indicate the longing of individuals to return to the Dixieland farm in Long Island after a period of absence. There are several explanations on how Dixieland became associated with the South. The most reasonable revolves around currency of the period, the ten-dollar note issued by the Citizens Bank of New Orleans, in the French Quarter. These notes were engraved on the reverse a large DIX which is ten, in French, the language of many in New Orleans of the period) The notes became known as Dixies by Southerners, and the area around New Orleans and the French-speaking parts of Louisiana came to be known as Dixieland. Minstrel shows which were popular at the time first brought the song to New Orleans in 1860 where it quickly gained popularity. It also became a favorite of Abraham Lincoln and was frequently played during appearances he made during his 1860 presidential campaign. By the end of 1860, secessionists had adopted the song as theirs and it was played after the vote for secession in Charleston, South Carolina. In 1861, the song was played at the inauguration of Jefferson Davis and eventually adopted as the Confederate anthem. Emmett, the composer and a Northerner, reportedly was quoted to have said "If I had known to what use they (The Confederacy) were going to put my song, I will be damned if I'd have written it." He was nonetheless amused that a song about a farm in Long Island NY became the anthem of the Confederate States of America

Nice, but why do you show so many Yanks in this video?

The Scots and the Scots Irish these are the real heroes of the north and the south the wild frontier boys 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I too am a Marine Corps veteran with 8 Confederate ancestors and I’m damned proud of every single one of them!

Possibly more appropriate for the song if we did not have to look at Yankees all the time.... hmmmm

I love this song

In all the photos where I can make out the uniform, they are all Union.

This song is uniquely inspirational....glad we can still listen to it...😇...LOL. I am currently reading "Fierce Patriot" all about Sherman, and his times...a great read for those who are into American history of that era...thanks.

NEVER FORGET THESE FUCK ALL FOOLS TRIED TO TEAR AMERICA APART. Had that happened, Spain, England, France would have eaten America alive.

I love the south

Elvis Presley.

Beautiful song. I've always enjoyed singing it and listening to it and often do. My young daughter sings it very well. Just a normal part of life in the South.

You tell them, we did it for Dixie and nothing else! The Younger Gang

my nelvana care bears brass band playing dixie that would be cute

When I see the "wokes" - its time to "Raise the Stars and Bars".

I love this song,greetings from Argentina

why so many union shots in a vid and song about the south?

The original sheet music is titled Dixie's Land as the general area was known. It originated in the most common currency in the Southern States before the War, which was a $10 bill on the Bank of New Orleans. On the reverse side it had TEN in one corner and DIX in the other which French for ten. Popularly known as Dixies. There were no Government paper bills before the war.

It's important that we sudy the past (warts and all) to learn lessons for the present and the future.

It was a failure of leadership and common sense all around. The terrible Civil War should never have happened and Lincoln is not a hero regardless of the official history.
