It's the loneliest feeling in the world-to find yourself standing up when everybody else is sitting down. To have everybody look at you and say, 'What's the matter with him?' I know. I know what it feels like. Walking down an empty street, listening to the sound of your own footsteps. Shutters closed, blinds drawn, doors locked against you. And you aren't sure whether you're walking toward something, or if you're just walking away. - Robert E Lee

@rgb Brown I’m not saying Grant was a great person either and he owned one slave by inheritance who he freed after less than a year and by all accounts Grant wasn’t pro slavery, but even if Grant did own slaves that still doesn’t excuse Lee, who owned slaves and was by contemporary accounts a fairly brutal master, not that how nice you were makes owning people much better. Furthermore grant didn’t actively fight for a state that was founded on principles of racsim and slavery and determined to defend those institutions.

@@danieltinney8082 Dame Street I'm on the side that wants to protect history not destroy it.

[@thefreeman8791]

@@danieltinney8082 Commies have always had a direct line into American politics since Lincoln. Marx wrote regularly in the New York Tribune which was read daily by Lincoln. Charles Adams wrote to Marx on behalf of Lincoln after Marx congratulated Lincoln on his reelection and said that "we consider you to be a true and loyal friend". But more importantly, in 1848, there was a communist revolution in Germany that failed. Most of the leaders of that revolt came to the US and settled primarily in OH. They all became politicians and educators. They were called the 48rs. They were the ones that got the color red to symbolize the Republican party because they wanted the party that they joined to be associated with communist red. One of those 48rs immigrated to St. Louis, I can't remember his name right now, but he was a local politician and reporter in St. Louis and was a radical republican. Marx described him as "the reddest of the reds". Some of them were even in Lincoln's cabinet during the war. The reason why those commies didn't make a sudden move to take over was because they learned from Germany that you have to boil the frog slowly and they have been doing that. Presidents like Wilson and FDR at least had commie sympathies. But these commies have been entrenched in politics for a very long time. They are just taking their time taking over.

[@thegamingzilla6269]

the thing about a Civil War in a society founded on the idea of a republic is that it does not end when a general surrenders, for the true power of the nation is not centered around 1 singular individual, it is held by the people itself, all of whom are wildly different from each other culturally even across county lines. So because of this, socially and culturally the fighting can, will, and has continued for the past 150 years since the end of the 1st American Civil War, but it is also because of this that over time the nation and her people will once again hyper polarize just like it had in the years prior to our first American Civil War. We are currently on the razors thin edge of another war of the spilled blood of kin against kin, except this time both sides have vastly superior and deadlier weapons and tactics than our Blue and Grey clad ancestors. This next American Civil War will be the bloodiest conflict our nation will ever see in its current lifetime, so bloody it will cause foreign nations to intervene and help one side or exploit the weakened state of the nation. Several nations have already stated that they will reclaim land that they claim as theirs, such as Mexico who had lost Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, and California. Or Russia who were conned into selling Alaska to the United States and are now itching to have it back

I’d like to point out that as much as i like this song and i’m fascinated and interested in the confederacy, and don’t get me wrong the uniforms, “characters” atmosphere and general history of the civil war are really cool and interesting to study. However, I don’t let that interest decieve me into thinking that the south wasn’t fighting for slavery. I know some people here will disagree and i understand that because i believed in the lost cause rhetoric for some time, but i really think it’s important to get this across. This is in no way a personal attack against anybody, and i really do understand why a lot of people have this perspective on the civil war, if anybody would like to have a conversation about my opinions or General Lee or anything about the civil war really id be happy to have one, and it’d be great to hear more about your opinions on these topics too, maybe you’ll persuade me. But stay safe and please don’t be offended by my comments as that is not there intention. Also this is a great song.

[@Tayd0g]

I agree with you in all honesty and I hope Im not misunderstanding you. The south was certainly fighting for slavery. It’s a weird topic to me because while I can’t fault millions of people for standing up for what they thought was right because they didn’t know any better, I can’t say that not seeing slavery as a bad thing is something any sane human being should live with. Honestly the confederate people were a victim of their time, one more group of people who fought for their way of life, one that at the time was unfortunately for slaves (and the confederates in the history books) held up financially by slavery. But honestly as far as General Lee goes, I respect him as a man defending his homeland. If Virginia sided with the Union he would have fought with them. The man never wanted a war, he just wanted to defend his home, which so happens to be the American south. He was a man that garnered the respect of all around him, no matter who he fought with or for and I think all people should strive to be like him. It’s a real shame his legacy is shunned in the eyes of many due to his CSA affiliation, but I respect him for who he was and he hasn’t lost an ounce of it in my eyes because of what he just so happened to have to fight for. Note: Edits to fix spelling

[@michaelreid1209]

@@Tayd0g Yeah i think we’re on the same page in as far as the issues they fought for. With regards to Lee, while i think he certainly had admirable qualities that should be acknowledged and discussed , although i do hold personal concerns about his conduct of warfare but thats a whole other topic, in my opinion at least i think his treatment of slaves, i.e. the whole Custis Lee’s slaves saga, should definitely be more prominent, and although Lee did speak against slavery on some occasions it was certainly for less than wholesome reasons. I belive in a similar vein to Lincoln, Lee was against the concept of slavery but still held racist views about the superiority of whites, which were quite common at the time, but i don’t think thats a strong enough argument to excuse him of having those beliefs from a modern perspective. I’m also really glad you made the point about what people thought at the time and i totally agree that the vast majority of southerners didn’t see anything wrong with the slavery institution and that it can be hard for people today to grasp that, which is why it is so important to discuss these issues from a modern and contemporary perspective. Just to conclude my comment wasn’t aimed at you as the video uploader, i just got concerned reading some of the comments and felt i had to show another side, but thanks for replying so fast and id be happy to carry on this discussion.

[@Tayd0g]

@@michaelreid1209Yes that is just how people thought and lived at the time, but it’s not how we live today thankfully snd for good reason. Many in the North owned slaves, it just happens their economy did not depend on it very much. Unlike the South, which is where Lee lived. Doesn’t mean it was right though. Whether or not by our standards today, and slavery would have never lasted (for many many reasons, both related to civil rights and not), no matter who won the war. But Im glad we can have this discussion without ripping eachother’s heads off. I don’t think there’s many other places in the world that can say the same, on the internet or not. Which is really why I’ve kept this comment section open. After all, this is a song about the end of conflict, not the continuation of it.

[@michaelreid1209]

@@Tayd0g Ah, my wording wasn’t great there, but basically to summarise the whole thing, Lee’s father in Law, George Custis, died and in his will he left the slaves and plantation to Lee but with a clause stating that the slaves shoukd be emancipated within five years of his death. But Lee didn’t free many of them for a long time afterwards, and others he just sold to other slavers etc. some tried to run away and he had them whipped, including a woman, the exact details of the whippings are debated, some say lee did it himself others not, but i think the way in which Lee a) disregard the final will of his father in Law to emancipate his slaves as quickly as possible and b) his abhorrent treatment of them ie. sending them back into slavery when they thought they would be freed (the slaves had been told about Custis’ wishes) or having them brutally whipped kinda shows the true horror of what the slave holding class were capable of. And it’s accounts like this that have tarnished Lee in my eyes, i find it hard to hear some people say he was a great man when thats the sort of action he committed.

What are we talking about here? I read the comments for songs like this, another great, Johnny Reb by Johnny Horton, and I wander are we talking about, racism or an overzealous, overreaching, overtaxing, overeverthing federal government. If its about racism than I think your wrong, I’ll listen, but I do believe your wrong. I consider myself a student of history and youall need to study. What was the emancipation proclamation? What was its purpose? Delaware was a slave state till 65 (what hell was that Lincoln really thinking), what was the cause of secession? If you’re a conservative (not a republican) and played the game the way we were supposed to, think about it. House payed off, buy your automobiles with cash, got that 401k for retirement (because pensions only exist for government employees, with a cost of living built in). Do you really own anything of value? I would argue the point that you (we) don’t. Back to the racism argument. Think of policies that reward no father in the home, more children more money, Obama phones, what the hell is going on here? What would I have done if I were in that situation? Now that I’m a little older I’m trying to figure how to hold on to what I have and play that game. What a shame. One more beer and I’ll get started on global warming.

[@thatdewguy22]

RRR 62 hit the nail on the head here, brother. Overtaxing and government overreach was the big reason the South seceded. The same reasoning why the original colonies seceded from British rule. Nowadays the government loves incentivizing single parent homes, being unemployed, abortions, and overall a ton of shit that I don't agree with, so why are people like you and me paying for it all? Global warming is nothing but politicians and celebrities saying "do as I say, not as I do" because we all know they're polluting the environment 1000x more than average citizens. Hell, even John Coleman the cofounder of the Weather Channel doesn't believe in Global Warming

[@Gh0stTech]

"Every state in the Confederacy issued an “Article of Secession” declaring their break from the Union. Four states went further. Texas, Mississippi, Georgia and South Carolina all issued additional documents, usually referred to as the “Declarations of Causes," which explain their decision to leave the Union." Two major themes emerge in these documents: slavery and states' rights. All four states strongly defend slavery while making varying claims related to states' rights. 1) Each declaration makes the defense of slavery a clear objective. 2) Some states argue that slavery should be expanded. 3) Abolitionism is attacked as a method of inciting violent uprisings. 4) Mississippi and Georgia point out that slavery accounts for a huge portion of the Southern economy. Basically this issue is a nuanced topic that doesn't have a clear cut answer. To say it was only about states rights is not historically accurate. Nor is it to say it was only racism. However it is harmful to continue support for the confederacy while ignoring the real racism that was a major portion of the zeitgeist during the war. www.battlefields.org/learn/articles/reasons-secession

[@RRR-hj6bt]

@@Gh0stTech Thanks Mr. Sleepwalker When I read that document I do see some of what you refer to but I also see kind of a declaration on independence. Kinda like when the continent succeeded from the empire. When I read interpretations of it I see much closer to the “claims related to states' rights” that you listed. Check out Article 2 section 7 of the 1861 Georgia constitution. While thats no civil rights statement it’s almost like the days were numbered. Now cut that section out, most of the document would be much better than what we have today. May I suggest that then and now many are “reactionary”. What will people read about guns and abortion 100 years from now? Internet is great, I can view newspaper articles from 150 years ago. Anyway, thanks for the reply, keep up the good work.

Why are you creating a problem that doesn't exist? Just let us listen to this in peace.

“Johnny Reb” by Johnny Horton, another good tune. I see this is an old comment but Im just getting around to reading them over again

Song: anti civil war Smooth Brain Socialist: hurrr durrr song man say Robert E Lee! Bad! Bad! Racismus! Me: the fact that we're going to have a boog due to things like you is an indictment of humanity itself

[@Tayd0g]

Exactly

It's all being orchestrated by those who want to seize power, the globalists don't care who wins so long as our country is torn apart and unable to stop their plans.

The time will come, maybe not next year, maybe not this decade, but it's coming. And when it does, we'll be ready this time.

so sad they lost civil war

[@Thehatefultruth311]

I wish people thought more about the civil war than they thought about the Roman empire

[@AmericanMilitaryHistory]

For anyone who maybe confused as to what battle is being referenced, it probably is the entirety of the Peninsular Campaign, hence the reference to the James River, and "60 miles from Richmond". I've seen some people suggest it is referring to Manassas, which I do not believe is true.

[@Folgeantrag]

Probably the Battle of Wilderness

Somewhere way back in my family history I'm related to general Lee because my middle name is Kaytlyn which dates back to the civil war

Unpopular opinion... But as a mother of direct descendants... Has walls having both families on both sides of the surrender of the surrender at Appomattox I can honestly say... Historical records and Mr Lee's own notes show that he did not want any fanfare and he had no malice and only stood up for his beloved Virginia... It's known that he never wanted any statues nor any monuments because he said he was doing battle against his brothers and Friends

Anybody know what battle this might be about? Sounds like the overland campaign but that’s as far as my fledgling history buff knowledge is getting me here

[@JamaRoberts]

I did have my rent money stolen but still gave money to the man killed from pilot mountain so he didn’t freeze who also housed the criminals & for the truth it wore my patients thin to help all those the shelter turned away even the children & disabled for what it was is or was just is what it is and I allowed them to sleep asses to elbows instead of freezing but ended with a count down from 40 seconds to call 911 to get out and was so furious with the criminals that I went from 40, 39, 38, 20, 19, 18,5,4,3 hit911,2 send 1 while they saw I wasn’t bluffing and made the way out the damn door and me and my brother never would of went down in the woods that night had we known then what we do now and all I have to say is I’m so sorry with all of my heart to put you at risk for real. Myself & you were thankfully protected by something much bigger than a gun but for what it is the for real is what it is we are at more risk to protect ourselves with a gun than we are just to die and go on to heaven because to protect ourselves with a gun lands us in hell on earth where people really do hate us more than anything in the world and for that it takes crazy as hell to do it. Crazy as hell is what I’ve decided the Lord has a touch of that all service members suffer from due to our heart conditions are so bad. It ain’t mental conditions completely but a little because that actually comes from the horrific heart conditions we all are suffering from that came from God therefore I know that God knows I mean no disrespect but it is what it is and nothing more for me to say I love you Lord with all of my heart and for the mission work my life was intended for you needed crazy and you too are fully aware that indeed you must be just as crazy looking down and really seeing how the angels have escorted me due to the true nature of how the human hearts have treated one another is why all I can say is poor God I’m so so so sorry God I’m so so sorry to you first and all the people and all service members and for the 3 or me who the heck really knows how that works but it is what it is and nothing more and nothing less and the Bible said the angel does take charge along the way and for some things it is what it is nothing more nothing less and for the sky paint and the twisted trees I’m so thankful to look out 24/7 and know I’m never alone.
