You betrayed the Constitution and worked with the British foe. And now you want to dishonor Robert e Lee's solemn promise not to raise his sword. It's not a joke.
have a look at some of the songs from the Irish Rebellion. This song, or rather the actual music is pinched from one of them.... The Rising of the Moon
Minus some of the bigotry that some of the songs have , I think the confederate songs really express the heart of America , which is why I feel the war was so disturbing , you can feel America in the music of both sides.
@David Broadley You're obviously a product of our government school system that teaches a biased history ... do yourself a favor and read some stories from the other side ... grow into a better person instead of just being an ignorant troll.
My father's mother was from Poznan (she was a Monczak). She told me stories about how speaking Polish in public was illegal during the German kulturkampf. My mother was from South Carolina. Her Great grandfather was a company commander in the 18th SC and died in action at 2nd Bull Run. His brother was Joseph Wofford Tucker. My mother spent summers on her grandmother's farm, and there she heard stories from her great aunts about how it was when the yankees came.
My Babci was btought to America by her uncle, Fr. Jan Pawłowski, before the first world war. The good priest brought her and my Dzaidz, Wm. Szymborski, togeher. Their son, my father, met my mother during the Second World war when he was stationed at an army base near Spartamburg, SC.
That is just about the dumbest, (and most incorrect), analysis of the Civil War that I have ever heard. Where do you people get such unrealistic ideas?
I am a Pole, so were my ancestors. My family has served in the army for very long, even before my country was brought back they fought for the Austrian Kaiser as Poles. Today i found an old picture of my grandpa in his uniform, a picture completely worn out and almost falling apart. It was then that I was reminded of this song. You might wonder why I say this all, after all it is not about the CSA, but this songs reminds me of all the men who stood up for something in their lives, especially in the army. Glory to them.
it was the battle flag my great grandfather fought for, when his home state of GA.surrendered he did not. He died in Osaka Japan and never took an oath of allegiance to the United States. He married my Grandmother there in Osaka. I honour his life and what his honour taught me. Nothing to do with slavery.
If your "heritage" is fighting for the right to own other people, you would forgive the rest of us for exercising our GOD giving right to be contemptuous of you.
Open carry, it is still legal in NC. Do it. I am a Marylander and would be put in jail for it. You still have that right. Exercise it, and if you have a rifle for me, I will take part in your picket.
@@mohameddiaby835 I do not attempt to condescend, and as such, I truly hope that you might read reputable sources such as Bruce Catton's 'This Hallowed Ground'; to assume the war was ENTIRELY about slavery is asinine even amongst reputed historians. Certainly it was a major factor, but it ignores a half century of economic 'bullying', for lack of a better word imposed upon the south. I care for you as a human, and as such wish the best for you. I would hope that you might at least consider the same for myself, and look at the many other factors that led to the war. A war of that magnitude cannot be maintained for that long, with such an EXTREME body count without the will of the common man of the dissident faction, and (forgive me for I do not recall) something to the order of 95%-99% of all southerners did not own slaves.

Then you would've fought for the preservation of slavery if you wanted to or not In what’s now known as the “Cornerstone Speech,” Stephens told a Savannah, Ga., crowd in 1861 that “our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite ideas [as those of slavery foes]; its foundations are laid, its cornerstone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery, subordination to the superior race, is his natural and normal condition. This, our new government, is the first, in the history of the world, based upon this great physical, philosophical, and moral truth.” He went further: the battle over slavery “was the immediate cause of the late rupture and present revolution.”
Hell it was not that long ago when the Irish fought for their freedom. The Irish have an indomitable spirit, and have fought for their liberty throughout all of history, no matter how harsh they are punished by England.
iamharald. Absolutely correct. The tune itself is used in several Irish ballads aswell like the Orange and the green, the rising of the moon, and the wearing of the green. I had never heard of this american version of the tune until now, how wonderful the internet is.
@Caroline Lees What are you waffling on about? Read a book and learn some history, my own ancestor from Wicklow fought for the South with his adopted state of Georgia, he was an Irish Catholic along with plenty of others who immigrated across the Atlantic in the 1840s. Get that Scots- Irish only fought for the Confederacy nonsense out of your head.
rosemarie443 God Bless The C.S.A. too and the greed was from the North, also slaves where not liberated in the North either till after the war, it was on the way out all over the World anyway, your Civil War was about power & the Blacks lost, their still slaves today, only now to the very federal government that purported to "free them." what a fucking joke. Revenge is a dish best served cold. The South will rise again and this time we should separate America into two Nations then the rest of you Godless folks can go your own way.
rosemarie443 Ha, do you really think the people in Our military will fight us? If they do, they will have to be pretty corrupt to do so. If a civil war does breakout, I believe groups of soldiers will refuse to obey orders.
rosemarie443 We have a right to protest, but it should not have violence. If the police attack peaceful protesters that is corruption. No doubt about it.

I was born and will forever be a Confederate being of this world God bless the south and america. I am proud of my family and all who wore the gray uniform for us so I say everyone wave ur flags high and proud and never let anyone take away what was fought for in the USA. We are proud Confederates and Confederacy. NO ONE CAN TAKE THAT FROM US! The civil war was not fought over slavery but between the north and south and who did not want to be told what to do.
many free black men fought for the confederacy. There was one guy, forgot his name, who bought himself out of slavery in the 1850's, and was paid a fortune by the confederate army to build bridges to transport troops and equipment...
@@chaosmarine8166 FREE black men, not slaves. Several free black men actually kept their own slave plantations in the antebellum south. It wasn't until the end of the war that slaves were given a chance to fight as soldiers, but by then it was too late and they never got to the battlefield before the war was over...
Lived in northern states before. Didn't like them. Way too regulated. Nothing like being Southern. Starting with freedom to own firearms. Then there is our cuisine. Pure Southern. Also the hospitality is greater.
Take a chill pill. I believe your post had some racist overtones such as and I am quoting you: "Your black people." That is a bit over the top and sounds quite bigoted and insensitive. But then most liberals are the real bigots and hide behind a false sentiment of patriotism.
less than 2% of southerners had slaves, still people believe that it was fought over slavery. Abe lincoln himself said "if I could save the union without freeing any slave, I would do it" The emancipation was a political move, not out of compassion for the blacks. The proof is that, after the war, slavery still existed, in different forms, and that the segregation was active untill very recently, all under the Union now.
Say the full quote not just apart "If I could save the union without freeing any slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that."
AND YET, Lincoln refused to parley or compromise, or even receive the delegation from the southern states, where a compromise could have been made! War is never about what it seems to be.
@Peter Grahame The South never said anything about abolishing slavery either infact in the Confederate Constitution it protected the institution of slavery and Lincoln made steps to abolishing in 1863 issuing the Emancipation Proclamation freeing slaves in the rebelling states two years later in 1865 Congress passed the Thirteenth Amendment abolishing slavery in the United States
@@kronosdarkness5202 they were fighting to be free! They were fighting for states' rights! Look at the Federal Government? Wiped out the South, then Indians, now it is out of control!

Not officially but there were some black regiments. Near the end of the war black soldiers could actually enlist and earn their freedom. But yes, both North and South were very racist back then.
@clandau1618 While we should respect the good both sides, the war was definitely about slavery. Lincoln only let the border states keep their slaves because they would join the confederacy of they were taken away. The emancipation proclamation also didn't effect them because it was about weakening the south, not achieving Lincoln's personal interests. While slavery wasnt the reason every soldier enlisted, it was by far the biggest cause of the war. Alexander Stephens said "Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea; its foundations are laid, its corner- stone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery-subordination to the superior race-is his natural and normal condition" Mosby, an anti-slavery confederate cavalry leader even said "I've always understood that we went to war on account of the thing we quarreled with the North about. I've never heard of any other cause than slavery." While I think respecting the south is important, dismantling the lost cause is too. I would also add that we should judge soldiers from the time, slavery was excepted in the south at the time and it was key to the southern economy. If southern society didn't say it was evil then it wasn't evil for the politicians and planters to fight for it, nore any confederate soldiers who fought for slavery either.
rosemarie443 First of all if you don't like the south why do you listen to this music? Go listen to your Yankee trash. Second of all I have a first amendment right to free speech.
As a reenactor, recalling songs like this in the field makes the scene unfolding before you seem purely surreal and genuinely scary at moments. I honor anyone who was brave enough to stand when they were actually firing at each other. May the Confederate battle flag stand over Charleston not as a symbol of hate, but as a reminder of a noble past.
rosemarie443 it symbolizes many things. State rights and the right to secession are some of the more important things.On a side note: A common joke in the Louisiana tigers, another unit, the Confederates had the stars n' bars, the battle flag n' white, and the soldiers blood, but in the end the white flag was the only one that mattered.
rosemarie443 When I say states rights I feel you don't understand what I mean. States rights doesn't necessarily mean representation in congress. It means the state has a right to determine what is best for the state as long as it doesn't harm other states in the Union, but with the federalization of the union and growing power of the executive, what gets passed by the executive is universal across all the states. One example before the civil war was the "tariff of abominations" which satisfied the merchants of the north but the raised prices directly harmed the south. If there were states rights the tariffs would only apply to northern ports and the south wouldn't have to suffer, however this wasn't the case and the south was embittered by this and protested. this is where the palmetto tree came in for S.C.. The issue with slavery in the south wasn't that all white people hated blacks and felt they all needed to be enslaved, in actuality the south needed the labor and if they were freed they would go north for better opportunities in the factories causing wages to inflate destroying the southern economy. If states rights were in place there would be no new slave states, but the south would keep theirs till they can grow out of it if you will. If you still think the south was the only racist party look north shortly after the war. In Detroit in 1863 only measly 8 years after the war and the blacks left the south, as predicted, Race riots ensued between the whites and the blacks but the Union never got attention to it
rosemarie443 I don't believe you read a single word I wrote...also, when the south joined the United States there was little power in the executive. which meant the south can still make decisions that benefitted the state. I still recommend you thoroughly read what I wrote
@@TKDragon75 If someone showed up at your door with a rifle and said they were going to burn your neighborhood to the ground, kill anyone who tries to stop him and it was your duty to help him, what would you say?

Robert is through his son Richard Henry and I ham through Hancock. Hancock was Zachary Taylors grandfather making Taylor my 2nd cousin 13 times removed. Taylors granddaughter married Jefferson Davis making him some kin. I would have to look the exact relation up. So somewhere we must be related. Lol. Eli and Peyton Manning are descended from Richard also.
My Great Grandfather fought in the Confederate Army. He was one of 65 that survived in his Unit. I am Proud to be Southern Born and My Great Great Grandfather.
I love the Irish influence in many of these beautiful songs. Up the Irish. I understand why those Irishmen of the South fought for the Southern States. They came from a place of government oppression and understood it well. They also were well aware of the treatment their kin in the North were dealing with at that point in time. Bless the Confederacy and the ideals they held dear, which were States Rights and what they felt was overburdening and unwarranted taxation by a government that was disinterested in them. Gee, does that sound familiar? These proud men wore their uniforms of Grey with honor. I salute them, and all who chose to do so.
+rosemarie443 , With all respect I don't know where you got your facts from. I've gotten mine from the written history of the Irish immigrants that were in New York at the time and what they endured. We will agree to disagree on this I suppose.
+rosemarie443 , I sincerely doubt that we've ever met. Not that it's impossible, only improbable. I do know that many Irish across the North called themselves Scotch-Irish in an attempt to separate themselves from the other Irish immigrants to try to avoid the discrimination. This discrimination was based solely on appearance. If you had fair skin and red hair( the classic stereotype attributed to the Irish)you were a target in the North. The fair skinned, red haired Irish immigrants also had a name for those that called themselves "Scotch-Irish"(or to be more accurate, my Mothers ancestors)they called them the "Black Irish." It's no secret that discrimination was as rampant in the North as it was in the South. Even among the Irish themselves.
+rosemarie443 , I'll not say another word Ma'am. No other group received the kind of treatment that the American Indians did from all races that immigrated to this country. This shocking truth was something I first became aware of as a youngster in a Junior High School History class. We were studying our local history. I was born and raised in Erie, Pa., on the banks of Lake Erie itself. Now I'd never given much thought to why the city or County was named Erie, it's not the type of thing that would have interested a Junior High School student back then and maybe even now. But the revelations I was exposed to were shocking and troubling then and to this day when I think about it. The area that became the County of Erie and city of Erie was, when the European settlers arrived in the area, inhabited by the Eriez(I think that's how they spelled it)tribe of American Indians. Now it's well known that there were times that the tribes warred between themselves over disputed territory. But this was different. From what we were taught there more than likely was some friction between the Eriez Tribe and these foreign invaders. It's understandable, your homeland is being taken from you, what are you supposed to do? What horrified me, then and now, was the solution the Europeans came up with. Instead of trying to work something out between them the Europeans, banking on their superior weaponry attacked and annihilated the entire Tribe. The Eriez Indian Tribe disappeared from the face of the earth, not one was left alive. I couldn't believe it Warriors, women, and children, all killed. The oldest and youngest, all massacred. The final straw for me was when we were taught that after the entire Tribe had been eliminated the Europeans decided to name the County and the City after them. There's also an Erie County in New York State and I suspect the same thing must have happened there although I don't know for sure.
+Bill Neice please read your history there was no north and south in Ireland at the time and most of the Irish confederates were Ulster Scots not as you wish to romanticize poor Southern Irish
A timeless song to honor those who fought during a tragic era in our Nation's history. Having lived in both the North and the South for long periods of years at a time, I can honestly say that most of the bizarre and warped hatred rests with Northerners. Although there are many intelligent Northerners who understand history and context, there is an inordinate amount of mentally deficient, vitreol-spewing Yankees who are polluting our nation with their venom. Just stand up to them, or better yet, ignore these hate-mongers.
+rosemarie443 Who the hell asked you to be there? Or here? You live in a region whose culture you hate, so why the hell not move? The ignorant folks up north might welcome you.
+rosemarie443 Why would I care enough to "try to find out"? Do you honestly think I give a flying fuck why you're actually here? Well no, the only reason I'm still even talking is because you're disrespecting Southerners as a whole.
The lyrics, tune and heritage -- God bless the South! Educators, have the courage to teach that our Civil War was The War Between the States and both sides fought with honor.
I love all the Southern videos and songs you put out. When I need time to myself, I listen and watch on my phone. Thank you. I will never dishonor what my Southern ancestors fought for.
i love how parallel the civil war songs are to irish folk music. the melody to this song comes from "rising of the moon" a song about the 1798 irish rebellion. proud texan/southerner here as well! hails!

@@thorpeaaron1110 In witch most of the northerners would try to kill you. Meanwhile the Confederate army were much more tolerable. Just look up what they don't tell you about the civil War in school.
I commented on this video about 6 years ago saying I didn’t get this video, but I get it now. This song is really about the tragedy and grief and sense of loss that comes with war. The South really has been vilified beyond all recognition. They were ordinary Americans who law states’ economies relied on slaves, which is wrong obviously, but lots of those young 18 year olds that fought weren’t fighting for that. The random poor kid in Atlanta who heard the Union was coming wasn’t fighting because he hated minorities, he thought he was protecting his home. The random Tennessee volunteer, who was so eager to volunteer even though her never owned a slave in his life did it because he thought he was being patriotic and wanted to be a hero to his state. Lots of these people aren’t these evil people racists that despise African Americans , they were just fighting for their homes because it’s all they had. I think it was we a good thing that the Union got rid of slavery, but to call every Southerner, not just “the bad guys”, but also “evil, nazi, racists,” just simply isn’t an accurate description of our American history. The truth is that we’re all Americans and no one is perfect, we all make mistakes. Slavery ending was a good result, but at the terrible price of brother against brother, family against family. American against American . It’s truly heartbreaking. And I think that’s the deeper meaning of the song, the grief and heartbreak of not only fighting a losing war and seeing your friends die, but you also were fighting the people who were supposed to get your brothers as well. Think about it, they shared the same culture, the same language, a kid from Ohio could easily bond with a kid from Texas over baseball and rural life, they were very similar Americans. To fight the people you’re so similar to must’ve been hard. All in all, war is always a tragedy, but war of brother against brother is especially heartbreaking. Again, in my eyes, the Union winning brought the best net positive of being strong enough to win WW1 and Ww2 and the Cold War which wouldn’t have been possible as two separate rival countries, as well as eliminating slavery. But to call every southern soldier and evil person is simply not a nuanced enough view of history. Lots of them never saw a slave , let alone owned them. And the grief after a war is always terrible no matter if you’re the victors or the losers. I think that’s what this song is about. It’s a beautiful, but such a sad song. Adieu
We should build a new monument to honor all of the Native American men who served in the Confederate Army during the American civil war and then charge BLM with a hate crime against a racial minority when they try to tear it down!!

The southern white man is the most oppressed in the USA. We’re racist a homophobe and or committing a hate crime if we speak out for our southern pride.
@David Broadley I won't listen to you hypocrite. You condemn whole groups of people for the actions of some lunatics, because they' share the same ethnicity. You have more in common with the Nazis in the way you think than I do.
@A W That's the problem. I do not have anything against foreigners and minorities, but I don’t like it when they are treated better than our own people. For example, flats in (West-)Germany are awfully expensive, and it is extremely difficult for poor people to find an affordable accommodation. And even hard-working and system-relevant people like police officers and nurses cannot afford the rents in some cities. This was a serious issue for years and nothing happened. Now our administration constructs new living room for refugees and provides them with community flats. Locals in need are placed behind on the waiting list.
May you rest in peace. You fought the good fight, and stood up for what you believed was right. May your courage never be forgotten. May your your sacrifice never be besmirched and may your nobility stand for all time. God bless you in all eternity.

@@mohameddiaby835 I do not attempt to condescend, and as such, I truly hope that you might read reputable sources such as Bruce Catton's 'This Hallowed Ground'; to assume the war was ENTIRELY about slavery is asinine even amongst reputed historians. Certainly it was a major factor, but it ignores a half century of economic 'bullying', for lack of a better word imposed upon the south. I care for you as a human, and as such wish the best for you. I would hope that you might at least consider the same for myself, and look at the many other factors that led to the war.
A war of that magnitude cannot be maintained for that long, with such an EXTREME body count without the will of the common man of the dissident faction, and (forgive me for I do not recall) something to the order of 95%-99% of all southerners did not own slaves.
I don't see it as a sin. Love your heritage and history. Everyone else can eat sh-t.

Then you would've fought for the preservation of slavery if you wanted to or not In what’s now known as the “Cornerstone Speech,” Stephens told a Savannah, Ga., crowd in 1861 that “our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite ideas [as those of slavery foes]; its foundations are laid, its cornerstone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery, subordination to the superior race, is his natural and normal condition. This, our new government, is the first, in the history of the world, based upon this great physical, philosophical, and moral truth.”
He went further: the battle over slavery “was the immediate cause of the late rupture and present revolution.”

Respect from Czech, this song is so amazing, the South has right.
I just recently discovered that the tune of this song is based on that of The Rising of the Moon, an Irish ballad.
iamharald. Absolutely correct. The tune itself is used in several Irish ballads aswell like the Orange and the green, the rising of the moon, and the wearing of the green. I had never heard of this american version of the tune until now, how wonderful the internet is.
thank you!!! I knew I knew the song and it was an Irish song but could not think of what it was!
@Caroline Lees the kkk and confederacy are not the samething lol. there were many irish that fought for the south and for the north.
@Caroline Lees What are you waffling on about? Read a book and learn some history, my own ancestor from Wicklow fought for the South with his adopted state of Georgia, he was an Irish Catholic along with plenty of others who immigrated across the Atlantic in the 1840s. Get that Scots- Irish only fought for the Confederacy nonsense out of your head.

less than 2% of southerners had slaves, still people believe that it was fought over slavery.
Abe lincoln himself said "if I could save the union without freeing any slave, I would do it"
The emancipation was a political move, not out of compassion for the blacks. The proof is that, after the war, slavery still existed, in different forms, and that the segregation was active untill very recently, all under the Union now.
Say the full quote not just apart "If I could save the union without freeing any slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that."
AND YET, Lincoln refused to parley or compromise, or even receive the delegation from the southern states, where a compromise could have been made! War is never about what it seems to be.
The war was fought over slavery
@Peter Grahame The South never said anything about abolishing slavery either infact in the Confederate Constitution it protected the institution of slavery and Lincoln made steps to abolishing in 1863 issuing the Emancipation Proclamation freeing slaves in the rebelling states two years later in 1865 Congress passed the Thirteenth Amendment abolishing slavery in the United States

Not officially but there were some black regiments. Near the end of the war black soldiers could actually enlist and earn their freedom. But yes, both North and South were very racist back then.
@@pintoffanta2510 Well, like the most states in world were racist.
@clandau1618 While we should respect the good both sides, the war was definitely about slavery. Lincoln only let the border states keep their slaves because they would join the confederacy of they were taken away. The emancipation proclamation also didn't effect them because it was about weakening the south, not achieving Lincoln's personal interests. While slavery wasnt the reason every soldier enlisted, it was by far the biggest cause of the war.
Alexander Stephens said "Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea; its foundations are laid, its corner- stone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery-subordination to the superior race-is his natural and normal condition"
Mosby, an anti-slavery confederate cavalry leader even said "I've always understood that we went to war on account of the thing we quarreled with the North about. I've never heard of any other cause than slavery."
While I think respecting the south is important, dismantling the lost cause is too. I would also add that we should judge soldiers from the time, slavery was excepted in the south at the time and it was key to the southern economy. If southern society didn't say it was evil then it wasn't evil for the politicians and planters to fight for it, nore any confederate soldiers who fought for slavery either.

As a reenactor, recalling songs like this in the field makes the scene unfolding before you seem purely surreal and genuinely scary at moments. I honor anyone who was brave enough to stand when they were actually firing at each other. May the Confederate battle flag stand over Charleston not as a symbol of hate, but as a reminder of a noble past.
rosemarie443 it symbolizes many things. State rights and the right to secession are some of the more important things.On a side note: A common joke in the Louisiana tigers, another unit, the Confederates had the stars n' bars, the battle flag n' white, and the soldiers blood, but in the end the white flag was the only one that mattered.
Matt McAvay despite the fact you posted twice, nit picking, lol. i can grasp the meaning of what you say, good on you sir, i can go along with that.
rosemarie443 When I say states rights I feel you don't understand what I mean. States rights doesn't necessarily mean representation in congress. It means the state has a right to determine what is best for the state as long as it doesn't harm other states in the Union, but with the federalization of the union and growing power of the executive, what gets passed by the executive is universal across all the states. One example before the civil war was the "tariff of abominations" which satisfied the merchants of the north but the raised prices directly harmed the south. If there were states rights the tariffs would only apply to northern ports and the south wouldn't have to suffer, however this wasn't the case and the south was embittered by this and protested. this is where the palmetto tree came in for S.C.. The issue with slavery in the south wasn't that all white people hated blacks and felt they all needed to be enslaved, in actuality the south needed the labor and if they were freed they would go north for better opportunities in the factories causing wages to inflate destroying the southern economy. If states rights were in place there would be no new slave states, but the south would keep theirs till they can grow out of it if you will. If you still think the south was the only racist party look north shortly after the war. In Detroit in 1863 only measly 8 years after the war and the blacks left the south, as predicted, Race riots ensued between the whites and the blacks but the Union never got attention to it
rosemarie443 gettysburg, 3rd of july, picket's charge for what it was worth, bring 'em on!

Respect to the confederacy, love from Great Britain
I love the Irish influence in many of these beautiful songs. Up the Irish. I understand why those Irishmen of the South fought for the Southern States. They came from a place of government oppression and understood it well. They also were well aware of the treatment their kin in the North were dealing with at that point in time. Bless the Confederacy and the ideals they held dear, which were States Rights and what they felt was overburdening and unwarranted taxation by a government that was disinterested in them. Gee, does that sound familiar? These proud men wore their uniforms of Grey with honor. I salute them, and all who chose to do so.
+rosemarie443 , With all respect I don't know where you got your facts from. I've gotten mine from the written history of the Irish immigrants that were in New York at the time and what they endured. We will agree to disagree on this I suppose.
+rosemarie443 , I sincerely doubt that we've ever met. Not that it's impossible, only improbable. I do know that many Irish across the North called themselves Scotch-Irish in an attempt to separate themselves from the other Irish immigrants to try to avoid the discrimination. This discrimination was based solely on appearance. If you had fair skin and red hair( the classic stereotype attributed to the Irish)you were a target in the North. The fair skinned, red haired Irish immigrants also had a name for those that called themselves "Scotch-Irish"(or to be more accurate, my Mothers ancestors)they called them the "Black Irish." It's no secret that discrimination was as rampant in the North as it was in the South. Even among the Irish themselves.
+rosemarie443 , I'll not say another word Ma'am. No other group received the kind of treatment that the American Indians did from all races that immigrated to this country. This shocking truth was something I first became aware of as a youngster in a Junior High School History class. We were studying our local history. I was born and raised in Erie, Pa., on the banks of Lake Erie itself. Now I'd never given much thought to why the city or County was named Erie, it's not the type of thing that would have interested a Junior High School student back then and maybe even now. But the revelations I was exposed to were shocking and troubling then and to this day when I think about it. The area that became the County of Erie and city of Erie was, when the European settlers arrived in the area, inhabited by the Eriez(I think that's how they spelled it)tribe of American Indians. Now it's well known that there were times that the tribes warred between themselves over disputed territory. But this was different. From what we were taught there more than likely was some friction between the Eriez Tribe and these foreign invaders. It's understandable, your homeland is being taken from you, what are you supposed to do? What horrified me, then and now, was the solution the Europeans came up with. Instead of trying to work something out between them the Europeans, banking on their superior weaponry attacked and annihilated the entire Tribe. The Eriez Indian Tribe disappeared from the face of the earth, not one was left alive. I couldn't believe it Warriors, women, and children, all killed. The oldest and youngest, all massacred. The final straw for me was when we were taught that after the entire Tribe had been eliminated the Europeans decided to name the County and the City after them. There's also an Erie County in New York State and I suspect the same thing must have happened there although I don't know for sure.
+Bill Neice please read your history there was no north and south in Ireland at the time and most of the Irish confederates were Ulster Scots not as you wish to romanticize poor Southern Irish

really ??
I'm proud to be a southerner don't care what people say Southern soldiers fought for their freedom.
Their freedom to opress others?
@@TEDAC771 no the Confederacy declare their independence because they believe they were being oppressed.
I love all the Southern videos and songs you put out. When I need time to myself, I listen and watch on my phone. Thank you. I will never dishonor what my Southern ancestors fought for.
slavery?
Jeff
Jeff Perkins jot slavery. Get a grip.I bet you are a Pelo/Biden/Harris supporter.
I think I’m the Last Rebel in my family…. Most of my family are Damn Yanks… I have my Confederate flag! Respect from Texas y’all! 🫡
Thank you for posting this video! This song is very beautiful.
Thank you so much for this! May you be blessed!
i love how parallel the civil war songs are to irish folk music. the melody to this song comes from "rising of the moon" a song about the 1798 irish rebellion. proud texan/southerner here as well! hails!
I'm from Europe, but:
Respect for all this brave soldiers🙏🏻
They fought against an evil enemy from Washington and Ohio.
It is very sad, what happened to the south "gone with the wind"
But I also believe they will come back in a near future and I wish only the best
"Evil forces" ha don't make me laugh I'm southern and proud of my heritage but if your not from here you shouldn't be speaking on these topics
@@TEDAC771 i can speak, because that's the same forces which came in my country, also should up you iditot
If the South will stand up again to take its honour back, I'll be a volunteer in the italian brigade. Long live to the CSA
The South fought over slavery
EBONIE THORPE didn’t Abe day if he could end the war without “freeing” and single man he would
@@unknown-dq6df This was early part of the war
@@unknown-dq6df If I was a slave during the Civil War I would side with the Union then the Confederacy
@@thorpeaaron1110 In witch most of the northerners would try to kill you. Meanwhile the Confederate army were much more tolerable. Just look up what they don't tell you about the civil War in school.
I commented on this video about 6 years ago saying I didn’t get this video, but I get it now.
This song is really about the tragedy and grief and sense of loss that comes with war.
The South really has been vilified beyond all recognition. They were ordinary Americans who law states’ economies relied on slaves, which is wrong obviously, but lots of those young 18 year olds that fought weren’t fighting for that. The random poor kid in Atlanta who heard the Union was coming wasn’t fighting because he hated minorities, he thought he was protecting his home. The random Tennessee volunteer, who was so eager to volunteer even though her never owned a slave in his life did it because he thought he was being patriotic and wanted to be a hero to his state.
Lots of these people aren’t these evil people racists that despise African Americans , they were just fighting for their homes because it’s all they had.
I think it was we a good thing that the Union got rid of slavery, but to call every Southerner, not just “the bad guys”, but also “evil, nazi, racists,” just simply isn’t an accurate description of our American history.
The truth is that we’re all Americans and no one is perfect, we all make mistakes. Slavery ending was a good result, but at the terrible price of brother against brother, family against family. American against American . It’s truly heartbreaking.
And I think that’s the deeper meaning of the song, the grief and heartbreak of not only fighting a losing war and seeing your friends die, but you also were fighting the people who were supposed to get your brothers as well. Think about it, they shared the same culture, the same language, a kid from Ohio could easily bond with a kid from Texas over baseball and rural life, they were very similar Americans. To fight the people you’re so similar to must’ve been hard.
All in all, war is always a tragedy, but war of brother against brother is especially heartbreaking. Again, in my eyes, the Union winning brought the best net positive of being strong enough to win WW1 and Ww2 and the Cold War which wouldn’t have been possible as two separate rival countries, as well as eliminating slavery.
But to call every southern soldier and evil person is simply not a nuanced enough view of history. Lots of them never saw a slave , let alone owned them.
And the grief after a war is always terrible no matter if you’re the victors or the losers. I think that’s what this song is about. It’s a beautiful, but such a sad song. Adieu
Also black people fought for CSA Army, plus they seced for economical reasons and for their states rights
We should build a new monument to honor all of the Native American men who served in the Confederate Army during the American civil war and then charge BLM with a hate crime against a racial minority when they try to tear it down!!
American by birth, Southern by the grace of God. I'll fight for America tooth and nail, but I'll make sure that everyone knows where I'm from. God bless Mississippi, and God bless America.
God bless our fallen heroes and God bless Dixie! Deo Vindice!
FOR FREEDOM!!! Happy Memorial Day!
Will Bryant
I get that wearing of the green is irish but what exactly is the history? I am not familiar with that.
Will Bryant
Thanks. I will remember the revolition of 1798 and research it a little.
Be proud of who you are and don’t let them put you down as southerners we are privileged to wear the gray tattered clothing of our Southern birthright and in my eyes and heart I say let the flag of the south land wave all respect from Tennessee
Deo vindice! Greetings from the Netherlands.
I love this song I'm proud of my southern heritage
God bless the south and our ancestors who wore the grey.
The southern white man is the most oppressed in the USA. We’re racist a homophobe and or committing a hate crime if we speak out for our southern pride.
Same here for whites in Germany or in Great Britain. The left-wingers/libtards are the greatest racists.
David Broadley nahh federal gonverment making southern states slave states then prosecuting them for it. That’s my souther pride
@David Broadley I won't listen to you hypocrite. You condemn whole groups of people for the actions of some lunatics, because they' share the same ethnicity.
You have more in common with the Nazis in the way you think than I do.
@A W That's the problem. I do not have anything against foreigners and minorities, but I don’t like it when they are treated better than our own people. For example, flats in (West-)Germany are awfully expensive, and it is extremely difficult for poor people to find an affordable accommodation. And even hard-working and system-relevant people like police officers and nurses cannot afford the rents in some cities. This was a serious issue for years and nothing happened. Now our administration constructs new living room for refugees and provides them with community flats. Locals in need are placed behind on the waiting list.
Tell me about it
Southern pride can't be extinguished no matter how many lies are told. We know the truth. The winners write the history, never forget that.
May you rest in peace. You fought the good fight, and stood up for what you believed was right. May your courage never be forgotten. May your your sacrifice never be besmirched and may your nobility stand for all time. God bless you in all eternity.
I'm a Native Arkansan, thank you AmericanZeus I really appreciate this song and I will be using this song in my video in protest the destruction of our Confederate monuments...
Fun Fact: Robert E. Lee's wife was the granddaughter of John Parke Custis, George Washington's wife's child.
god bless the south from north florida from a proud florida rebel
From those of us born and bred in the south of England, we salute the confederacy and this wonderful song. God bless the America and the South.
