"No winners or losers when you count the dead." Have truer words ever been spoken? War is hell. And I pray we don't go to civil war again with the hate that's flowing in our country right now. 🙏
It's coming. We cannot stop it now. The final split came with the election. We are a country at war and it will not end until rivers run red again. We're not shooting yet because we're waiting for the election results to verify. No matter who wins, there will be hell to pay. We cannot turn back now. We've done crossed that bridge. We're just waiting for the first shot to be heard around the world again.
@@BeRightBack131 I think you are correct. But let's pray for as much peace as possible despite the likely violence that will erupt in some places. I think those who do not have arms should purchase them forthwith before it's too late. I hope and pray God no use of arms will be necessary, but I am not naive enough to think that's likely. My hope is great, though. With God nothing is impossible.
No lol, it will be civil, regional, and global in the end. Simply because that is what's claimed for stake. But the ones that want the global, are pitting the nation states against one another, and against themselves. Bet your sweet ass Ukrainian folks are killing eqchother right now to blame Russia, and Russia wants to be a nation state. And America wants transgenders, abortion, depletion of energy, and pedophiles. Truly is what the U.N has become with the corrupt Americans government. Not to worry though, plenty out there who can cry to this song too, and fight for the ghosts from the past that had the idea that changes the world. We will always fight against power. "Resistance to tyrants, is obedience to God."
I can't stop listening to this song! I showed it to my brother, who is both a fan of bluegrass and interested in the Civil War, and he pointed out the short renditions of both Yankee Doodle and Dixieland at the end--the anthems of the North and South, respectively. I get chills every single time, and I"m not exaggerating when I say I've had this song on repeat for the last 3 days. Incredible. Edit: There seems to be a third musical idea at 3:40 but I don't know what it is, does anyone recognize it? EDIT: I don't know if anyone will ever see this but it's too cool not to share. First, the third song that starts at 3:40 is No Place Like Home, a popular song during the Civil War. But that's not the only cool thing happening here. Apparently, on December 30th, the two armies were camped less than 700 yards from one another. In an effort to lift spirits, bands from both armies began playing, and it became a 'battle of the bands' with each group answering the other's songs with one of their own. So the South would play Bonney Blue Flag, and the North answered with Hail, Columbia. Then Yankee Doodle answered Dixie. But the last song played was No Place Like Home, and the bands AND soldiers from both sides joined in on that one, singing the chorus: "Home! Home! Sweet, sweet home! Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home!" That gives the music at the end of this song so much more depth and meaning. I've got chills!
That is There is no Place Like Home. Legend has it the the armies were camped so close to each other that they could hear each others music. They went back and forth playing Yankee Doodle and Dixie until the wee hours of the morning. then one side broke out into No Place like Home and the other joined in for the last music of the night before battle.
I’m a huge civil war buff, I agree, it’s an absolutely beautiful song. Love the Dixie Yankee Doodle mash up. May I suggest another tune for your brother “can you run”, a lot of the steelerivers in fact have historic references to civil war and genera culture of the era.
@@CoburnArts We love that one!!! Also Sticks That Make Thunder! I want to learn to play them on the banjo someday (I'm taking lessons but I'm still a beginner)
@@CoburnArts Oh I also thought i'd share since you're a civil war buff: I go walking almost every day at Wilson's Creek Battlefield, which is super close to my house! It's so awe inspiring to get to stand in the place where the battle happened. We also went down to Pea Ridge last October. I want to go to more battlefields someday.
This is a tearjerker, reminds me of the story my grandmother used to tell about her grandfather who lived a few miles from Shiloh, Tennessee and fought for the Confederacy. They were so close to the bloody battle that he had to stay home to protect his family. When he heard the guns he went out back and cried and cried because he wanted to be there at the battle.
I hope you pass the family story on down. I had family on both sides but the majority in the Confederacy. My Granny told me stories of both of her Grandpas and what they experienced plus I have researched every detail I can find on them and have their information taped to the back of their pictures.
@@JohnnyReb It's not about enjoying it. For anybody in those battles. It was about wanting to be there to fight along side the people you called neighbor and brother. If you didn't go, you left them undefended and lived with being a part of their death.
Those rivers are going to be running red once again alot sooner then anyone would like atleast the ones that remeber the horrible history of our countrys past now its on repeat... Godbless us all.
@@jimnoneya3919 Agree. One of my sisters lives in Illinois and seems to give Pritzker a 100% approval rating. I weep to think how easily and gladly she is handing over her freedoms. 😢

Love this song, my Great grandfather and his brother fought with the 8th TN CSA in the battle. Their bother fought with the 10th IL in the same battle.
Had the honor of being a reenactor at the Battle of Olustey. I drove a mule team for the Cow Calvery. This song reminds of the emotion that was so present among all the men preparing for the battle. what a terrible time in our history, never to be forgotten! Dale
Linda, I have participated in the Olustee reenactment for the past 20 years....I'm sure that we've crossed paths. I hope that we can share the field again!!!!
So many GOD fearing men lost there lives for this country. No winners or loosers when you count the dead but the blessing of GOD on America when you count there hearts. May GOD bless America.
I think of my 5th great grandpa. Fought for the Union, got a Congressional Medal for the "Lost Forlorn". He was one of the few survivors. I get teary eyed just thinking about the horrors he saw. He was a surgeon. Talk about nerve & determination.
@@bluegrassrules9967 The more we turn on each other over every little thing and allow ourselves to be turned on each other, the faster we rush toward the ends our Blue and Gray ancestors found.
Just visited the battlefield. As I was there I couldn't help but listen to this song while I was there. Sent chills down my spine being there and seeing how everything happened while hearing the lyrics.
Yep, I stand here today because my Great Great Grandfather returned home from Stones River with the Indiana 15th. I think about all the hopes, dreams and families that never came to fruition because of this war...breaks my heart. All my ancestors returned home from both sides I truly am so very blessed. I so love and admire the Steeldrivers their songs and musicianship, nobody like them.
Gives me chills and eyes full of tears. Amazing Civil War song, amazing band. The fiddle playing reminds me of the eerie sounds of Scottish Outaw bagpipes, beautiful.
Just saw them live. Beautiful song. Great song writing, vocals and playing. That ending with Yankee Doodle, Dixie, and There's No Place Like Home. . .just wow!
There is a story behind No Place Like Home and the Battle of Stones River. www.murfreesboropost.com/civil-war-soldiers-longed-for-home-sweet-home-cms-14618
I had many family members that fought in the American Civil War on both sides and this yr I got to go see the head stones of the ones that died at stones river and chickamuga
Well at least your ancestors who died at Murfreesboro fought for the union, they received a proper burial at the battlefield. There's no headstones for the confederates who died there, just a mass grave several miles from the park
ya'll know chris stapleton was singer with before going solo...I can hear him in there...awesome group, I do re-enacting with Milton light artillery on cannon....terrible time in our country but never forget....btw end of the song has "dixie" in it
The story they often tell about the ending of the song goes something like this (hoping I get the details right): At night, the two camps were within hearing distance of each other... one side played Yankee Doodle, the other answered with Dixie. Then in an acknowledgment of their mutual longing, they both played Home Sweet Home.
the vocals on this is by Gary Nichols. he is a local from here in Muscle Shoals. Stapleton left the group in 2010 and Gary joined as lead vocalist and guitarist in 2011. this song was released on the 2015 album The Muscle Shoals Recordings.
My people were 45th mounted ky infantry United States Army, during that horrific, god awful war... Great song though from a great band thanks for the upload!!
This is an awesome band and this song is beautifully written and performed. A somber reminder of pride and prejudice in our county and the terrible price it cost both sides.
Sad fact: The tune at the very end of the song is "Home Sweet Home". The night before the battle 30,000 men on both sides sang that song together in the darkness. This was the largest chorus in the western hemisphere. Come the next night 3,000 of those voices were silenced forever.

This song spoke to me so loud I gathered up the family and headed to Murfreesboro TN to visit Stones River National Park and Cemetery. facebook.com/events/785590924923694/ This was an amazing tour !! I would highly recommend it. If the song gives you chills, this you should see.
My people on my Father's and Mother'side came from Tennessee. One grgrandfather was hanged by the Confederate for burning a bridge 8n Green County Tennessee , on orders from Lincoln. One grandfather served in union Army suffering wounds that led to an early death. My Mother great uncle was on the side of the Confederacy. His wife and children used her maiden name because he was hunted after the war. My grandfather's grandfather fought for the Confederacy. The movie Cold Mountain has some of our history lent to it. Inman is named after my cousin.
I wish they would have added in the video the stones river confederate Memorial in the Evergreen Cemetery in downtown Murfreesboro because all the graves that they show are only Union at the Battlefield everyone always forgets about the confederate dead
+Johnny Reb Also...they were all American soldiers either way you look at it. It's not like WWII. You can't say there is a bad guy and there is a good guy, ya know.
this and sticks that made thunder, great tributes to our unfortunate kin who fought each other. now sometimes demonized to suit modern political agenda.
No winners or loser when you count the dead. The lyric takes it to multiple levels, the sorrow of battling your own blood, but also the extreme percentage of casualties.
@@joshuaroberts3555 , Yeah yeah Josh. But if you LISTEN to what they sang, they sang "The Winners are Losers - IF you count the dead." The reason why they sang this is because although Lee surrendered, and the North claimed victory, the truth is that the South put 350,000 Northern soldiers Stiff in Southern Dust. Compared to 250,000 Southern losses. IF you count the bodies of the dead, the winners were losers. In Vietnam, the US claimed victory by counting the bodies of the dead. Body count is how they judged victory, not held ground. By this standard, the South won the "War Of Northern Aggression" by a wide margin. In my area of the nation, the South actually DID win the war, in Southern Missouri. Major General Sterling Price, Commander of the Missouri State Guard, refused to surrender, and never did. Also, the first Union General to be killed in the "War Of Northern Aggression," Nathaniel Lyon, was killed in Missouri, in the "Battle Of Wilson's Creek," outside of present day Springfield Missouri. Major General Sterling Price, commander of the Missouri Guard, in co-operation with Confederate troops, scored a resounding victory over Northern troops in that battle. The North never managed to gain a foothold South of Jeff City, and lost nearly every battle. It must be noted that Northern General Lyon was the man responsible for bringing Union troops onto Missouri soil in the first place, violating the compromise, and killing innocent civilians in St. Louis, not once, but twice, in early 1861. Prices army ultimately obtained revenge against Union General Lyon, as they shot him dead.
I'm gonna vote Trump. It breaks my heart this is what they want, again. What a horrible state of affairs we find ourselves faced with. I lament their decisions. PLEASE. Not again.
Must we do it again?!!???! What are we doing to ourselves!!??!! Yodheyvavhey wins again. Why do you push for war AGAIN!?!?!? Must we die for you to feel justice? You wouldn't know justice if you read Ecclesiastes. I guarantee you know then. If that don't work. Read Hebrews. Chapter 12 destroyed me.

Prices army ultimately obtained revenge against Union General Lyon, as they shot him dead.
Battle of Parkers Crossroads 1863 I think
It is referring to the Battle of Stones River. It is referred to in the song.

You wouldn't know justice if you read Ecclesiastes. I guarantee you know then. If that don't work. Read Hebrews. Chapter 12 destroyed me.
