This song is a great one! It would make a soldier walk around the world twice...without giving it a second thought. ha! I >>always enjoy hearing the good fellows from the 2nd South Carolina String Band, play their good ol' music! I'll bet many a good campfire scene has been positively augmented by these good fellows' music! Salute! I had family/ancestors from the great State of South Carolina; of course that was in 1797...but only yesterday in time.
Southern Sympathiser here. Fourteen members of my family fought for the South. Though I was born in Pennsylvania, Id fight for the Grey any day. Long live Dixie!
+Cleo Fierro You're honestly disgusting, slavery is still in practice in many places of the world and you act like the Confederacy were the only people to practice it.
+Cleo Fierro You are childish lol, "you love selling babies and killing children because the south had slavery" I did not state that it's ok for the Confederacy to have it since others did I'm stating that the others pinned it all on them to get off clean. I've stated multiple times that I don't agree with the horrible institution of slavery.
+Cleo Fierro Refer to my other chain on the other comment, at one point New York had more slaves than 2 southern colonies, Lincoln originally planned to allow the slave states to keep slaves just not expand but please refer to my other statements on the other chain.
+Cleo Fierro Oh so slavery in Nee York is ok? I can't stand you all you do is try to say I want slavery, do I need to post my notes on this chain or will you look at the other?
Greatest cut of Gap, & only the inimitable 2SCSB could pull of the intensity veracity with that virtuoso, impressionistic banjer-fiddle duet-ending that ya hears the bullets flying. Outa Space! Hard bop Hold Outs: @SCSB! I LOVE YALL!
+Jazzlyn Woodby Well, I can think of a few who would not have been so happy in the ante-bellum era.But they're no doubt just trouble-makers and ne'er-do-wells, and can be justly ignored.
***** Sorry you feel that way but I haven't done a single thing to make people think that way. I love the South and I will defend our culture and heritage til the day I die. People like you are why the South is changing and why our culture and heritage are being taking away. If you had more balls like me, maybe we would still have God in the South and in our schools. I bet you are one that says Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas aren't you?
***** The true Klan flies the American flag like we have since the 20's. Only since the 60's has the Confederate flag been used by some Klans, which is not even a real Klan flag!
anyone who is involved in the KKK doesn't know a thing about God. god, however you define it, is about love...god is tolerance and peace and unity. As far as "preserving your culture" goes, Its cool to defend your love of jambalaya, thick steaks, or whatever.. its not cool *at all* to be apart of a hate group. Did you know there is no difference biologically between yourself and say, a mexican person? your DNA is the same. again, i urge you to rethink your stance.
The worst part of being a banjo player is the revisionist history in the comment section on your favorite youtube videos. Well, that or all the Deliverance jokes.
Cleo Fierro you're the ignorant pepper belly that sees racism in everything because you've been brainwashed to believe that if you hear a certain word it automatically means racism. Your brain is obviously the size of a frijole with no help for expansion. So sad to be you.
The leaders of the South new from day one that they could not win a long war and in the end the southern army was over whelmed by numbers and the weight of arms that were brought against them.
I dislike the politics of the Confederate States of America, and its racial policy. However, I understand why they were implemented because of the style of the economy (agrarian) in the South, and that slavery was vital for the Confederacy to even have the potential of surviving economically. But, the high command of the Confederate Army, probably better than the Union's high command. You have great tacticians like: -Robert E. Lee -Joe Wheeler -"Stonewall" Jackson -Patrick Cleburne -Nathan Bedford Forrest
there are so many disgustingly racist comments on this song...what the hell is wrong with you people? So close minded and ignorant, please reconsider the idea of defending slavery. There is nothing more awful, tragic, dehumanizing, and destructive.
According to the website "AmericanCivilWar", It cites an 1860 Census report on the white ownership of slaves. It specifically says "there were fewer than 385,000 individuals who owned slaves (1). Even if all slaveholders had been white, that would amount to only 1.4 percent of whites in the country (or 4.8 percent of southern whites owning one or more slaves)" TheRisingSeed also cites an accredited analyst study by Nobel Prize Winner Robert Fogel who concluded after studying slave narratives, census and bereau statistics from the time, that around 60-80 percent of slaves had a positive view of their masters.
TheRisingSeed also cites another Census report that conveys that blacks were well taken care of and nurtured as in the United states at the time, 1 in 1000 whites were classified as dumb, insane, blind, deaf, or idiotic, whereas in the south where the vast majority of blacks lived, it was merely 1 in 1,464 who were classified as such. meaning blacks on a physical health level, faired 46.4 percent better than whites at the time. In addition to this info, there is no certainty as to if every african-american in our nation can say for certain that his/her bloodline experienced slavery. And regardless if it was acomplishable, given the information, you cant conclude that slavery had a lasting effect rippling to modern times

I'm a born and raised Yankee, but I damn well respect my Southern brothers far more than I do many of my fellow Northerners.
Whenever I go through the Cumberland Gap, I will stop 14 miles from it, lay down and take a nap in the grass and listen to this song

as a reenactor ive heard 4 or so bands play this and they a right behind unreconstructed
It make you want to get and dance.
+its Me Yeah... with the devil in the pale moonlight.
That's because it is a square dance tune

Come for the song, stay for the idiocy of the comment section.
i love this music cheers everybody
Americans all!
Amen.
lay down boys gonna take a little nap
listened to this thousand times....where exactly are the racist parts?
+Cleo Fierro How is that racist? Lol he was stating the first person other than a Native American (white man) was Dr. Walker an Englishman.
Cleo Fierro fuck you you ignorant tortilla bender.

Oh fuck off does it fucking matter that someone has pride in their heritage? Why are you angry.
Yea, this is just a rebels tune, nothing racist. (Waits for the comment about my profile picture) Lol
Guess three yankees listened
The others got sent straight to hell!
Lol
Let’s raise some hell boys
So who run Morgan back to Yankee Land ? Kirby Smith or Braxton Bragg ? There's only room in the lyrics for one of them.
I kinda like it too...
The leaders of the South new from day one that they could not win a long war and in the end the southern army was over whelmed by numbers and the weight of arms that were brought against them.
I don't think it's too late to fight for our home and pride

Movin' close to the Cunberland Gap soon. Send them Yanks straight to hell! Fuck Obama and Black Lives Matter!
ain't no BLM in the Cumberland gap and they ain't gonna be either if'n their smart
Yes I am like 666 I am the mark of the beast!
Hope the Union destroys itself one day. Then the south can be free. Reconstruction worked, many Dixians forget. So sad.
Great song but you left out a verse, the one where Burnsides Yanks retake the gap and take 2500 prisoners.
there are so many disgustingly racist comments on this song...what the hell is wrong with you people? So close minded and ignorant, please reconsider the idea of defending slavery. There is nothing more awful, tragic, dehumanizing, and destructive.
Supporting the Confederacy doesn't mean you're supporting slavery and slavery wasn't as horrible in the south as some say.

"white people have no culture"
The people who say that are almost invariably people who are utterly dependent on white culture.
