Confederate March: Battle Cry of Freedom (Confederate Version)

►Join the Discord! / discord
The "Battle Cry of Freedom", also known as "Rally 'Round the Flag", is a song written in 1862 by American composer George Frederick Root (1820-1895) during the American Civil War. A patriotic song advocating the causes of Unionism and abolitionism, it became so popular that composer H. L. Schreiner and lyricist W. H. Barnes adapted it for the Confederacy.

I mean, its a bit more complex than that. I see this song as from the perspective of the common soldier. who themselves were not slavers

@@dr.trauts3921 no but the average white southerner supported slavery despite being too poor to own much of anything. They fought for slavery and they knew it.
