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.

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.

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.

[@lm7bird680]

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

[@pintoffanta2510]

@@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.

[@philfuture]

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

David Fritts No it`s not, it`s yours. Had you freed the slaves and then fired on Fort Sumter you would have had European support and won. Once Lincoln made slavery a reason for war no European country could possibly support the Confederacy, your leaders should have realised this.

[@colefritts814]

+Derrick Field we fired on fort sumpter because it was in our waters it was the north who started the war by sending thousands of men into Virginia

[@derrickfield8957]

David Fritts I think you are missing the point. Europe could not support a nation that allowed slavery under any circumstances. The Confederacy was in the same position as Germany in WWII, they faced a quick victory, or a slow defeat, as they faced an enemy that had access to far more resources, in both men and material, allowing them to slowly grind down the Confederacy, as the men and resources were utilised. Your leaders should have realised this, had a back up plan in the event of a long war, and taken the appropriate action, which would have been freeing the slaves before firing on Fort Sumpter. What the North did does not alter the basic fact, that the Confederacy could not win a long war without outside help. The failures were political not military.

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.
