    It’s part of our history. Please people don’t erase it. It’s extremely painful. My ancestors fought on both sides of the war and SO MANY DIED. We can’t change history but we can teach it HONESTLY to our kids so it never happens again. Don’t politicize it, just teach it how it was at the time.

      Estimates of dead due to Lincoln's Invasion for REVENUE Tax Money goes from 620,000 to 850,000 depending on the report.
      EIGHT federal documents claiming the invasion was for REVENUE TAX MONEY.
      As far as slavery is concerned:
      Owning slaves was legal under the Constitution: Supremacy Clause, Migration and Importantion Clause, Fugitive Slave Clause, 3/5 Compromise Clause, 4th Amendment, 5th Amendment, 9th Amendment, 10th Amendment and the Corwin Amendment.
      Owning slaves was recognized as legal by federal laws of Congress: 1794 Fugitive Slave Act, 1820 Missouri Compromise, 1850 Fugitive Slave Act, 1854 Kansas - Nebraska Act, etc.
      Owning slaves was recognized as legal by SCOTUS in their decisions, such as 1857 Dred Scott v Sanford based on the 5th Amendment.
      Lincoln recognized owning slaves as legal in his first Inaugural Speech, paragraphs 4, 6, and 9 (which quoted the Republican Party Platform plank #4 in paragraph 6 and the US Constitution 's Fugitive Slave Clause here).
      "No person held to service or labour in one state, under the laws thereof, escaping into another, shall, in consequence of any law or regulation therein, be discharged from such service or labor, but shall be delivered up on claim of the party to whom such service or labour may be due."
      Lincoln Disciplines Generals For Their Emancipation Edicts:
      Union Major General John Charles Frèmont issued an emancipation edict on August 30, 1861 for the region under his command. For his trouble, Lincoln removed him from his position and charged him with *INSUBORDINATION* on November 2, 1861.
      Union Major General David Hunter issued an emancipation edict on May 9, 1862. Lincoln found out and reprimanded him via Presidential Proclamation NO. 90 and said that Hunter's edict was *VOID!*

      There is more to the history than the oppression of the Black peoples. Many of the Whites who settled in America hated and fought each other. Poor whites were also oppressed. Many of the whites who came from England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland did not get along in those countries, and the hatred continued when they came to America. So it wasn’t only White on Black violence but also White on White. Thomas Sowell has some great videos about this subject, as well as Tom Woods in his video on Cavalier and Celtic cultures.

    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

    As I age I take the time to think about how these were just ordinary people going about their lives when they were swept up in events out of their personal control and were stuck dealing with it. They found out how ugly and tragic war is, just like so many before them and after them. They had families that loved and missed them. They were scared, tired and after a taste of the realities of war, wanted nothing more than to go home and be left alone. They ALL had more courage than the woke wimps of today.

    One of the things I love about Confederate songs is because their messages are usually kind and conciliatory, rather than ruthlessly sarcastic about the other side (which I see a lot in Northern versions of Civil War song messages). I hope everyone (whether you like the Confederacy or not) should try to be as peaceful and rational as possible, and not too extreme. Peace is our weapon.

      My friend, Dixie was written prior to the Civil War by a Northerner. The Union songs you may be referring to were written after the South had left the country, the Civil War was being fought, and terrible casualties were occurring at every single battle. The attitudes had changed. Later, we all got back together 🇺🇸

    A lot of people forget that this song was popular in both the south and north it was the most played song in the u.s nexted to the nation anthem up untill the beginning of the 1900s. It was written by a northern who was inspired by the beauty of the south and even Lincoln loved the song so much he had it played during the peace treaty. This isn't the national anthem for the south but was the most played and used song in the south.

      No, because the Confederates were not fighting to control the federal government; they were fighting to leave it. It wasn't actually a civil war, it was a failed bid for independence. "DIxie" might have become the national anthem of an independent Confederacy, but it would not have been the national anthem of a smaller United States.

    Beautiful song, much respect for the Rebels. The overwhelming majority were just poor hard-working people that did not own slaves. They fought a fight that came to them, they fought for their state's honor, not for the system of slavery. The rebel songs and the rebel flag are not racist, it is a symbol of their heritage and honorable past for the men that fought hard and only lost because they were vastly outnumbered. Nowadays the woke pussies will do anything to cancel and turn something masculine and prideful into a fake racist virtue-signaling sham. Respect the Rebels, and this is coming from a Mexican American that knows and understands history.

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.

I am extremely fortunate that all survived and were able to return home. The one thing I have to say is this - in general, men get along without an enormous amount of friction; it’s only when governments get involved that men die in their millions. Maybe it’s about time that the common man did something about this as your Constitution avows. I wish we had the same.
