- ♦ "Dixie", also known as "I Wish I Was in Dixie", "Dixie's Land", and other titles, is a popular American song. It is one of the most distinctively American musical products of the 19th century, and probably the best-known song to have come out of blackface minstrelsy. Although not a folk song at its creation, "Dixie" has since entered the American folk vernacular. The song likely cemented the word "Dixie" in the American vocabulary as a synonym for the Southern United States.
During the American Civil War, "Dixie" was adopted as a de facto anthem of the Confederacy. New versions appeared at this time that more explicitly tied the song to the events of the Civil War.
♦ "The Bonnie Blue Flag", also known as "We Are a Band of Brothers", is an 1861 marching song associated with the Confederate States of America. The words were written by the Ulster-Scots entertainer Harry McCarthy, with the melody taken from the song "The Irish Jaunting Car". The song's title refers to the unofficial first Flag of the Confederacy, the Bonnie Blue Flag.
The song was premiered by lyricist Harry McCarthy during a concert in Jackson, Mississippi, in the spring of 1861 and performed again in September of that same year at the New Orleans Academy of Music for the First Texas Volunteer Infantry regiment mustering in celebration.
The New Orleans music publishing house of A.E. Blackmar issued six editions of "The Bonnie Blue Flag" between 1861 and 1864 along with three additional arrangements.
The song sheet was first published in 1861 by A. E. Blackmar and Brother in New Orleans. When Major General Benjamin Butler captured New Orleans, he allegedly arrested Blackmar, fined Blackmar $500, destroyed all copies of the music, and ordered that anyone caught whistling or singing "The Bonnie Blue Flag" would be fined $25. Eleven other editions of the song were published with different lyrics. - Hudba
I come from Lower Saxony. (north germany) In the past years I have often traveled to the USA and met many wonderful people,
but my heart beats for the south.
Thanks, Klaus! My Father's family came from Upper Saxony- Northeim, South of Hanover. My Mother's Grandfather was a Confederate Officer. I went to the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) where the Athletic teams were the Rebels- played Drums in the Band- I could play the Snare part to Dixie in my sleep!

I like this music, and I love the Southern rock of Lynyrd Skynyrd Band. Greetings from Italy
This is made with great enthusiasm,what a band....
I used to play with the 37th Georgia Volunteer Infantry Band out of Athens, GA with Dr. Clyde E. Noble. This brought back some pleasant memories. Thank You!
Greetings from Bay Village, Ohio! We love the South and frequently travel throughout this beautiful country of ours. God bless you Brethren!
YES !!!!!!
History is history.
You can't change what has already been lived.
Thank you for this glorious music.
Im a Confederate Civil War Reenactor. :-) i love the music. . . and the dances from the era, its better than ot of todays music. Come to think of it, anything from the 1860's up on to the late 1980's is better than alot of today's music.
There hasn't been a big war in a long time now, and it shows in the music
@@mattyounger9907 ("We will meet you on the field of battle In The same Spirit of determination that the Lincoln administration has exhibited toward the South.") Stonewall Jackson. :) It's a historical hobby my friend, if you enjoy the Hobey it doesn't matter which side won, I do Confederate because I want to learn the other side of the. Story. It takes two sides of a story to have a major conflict.
@@mattyounger9907 I figured. :) That's why I quoted old Stonewall, ironically your from the south and reenact a union general, and I am a Confederate Re-enactor from Iowa. 😂😂😂
You are right.
Beautiful music. Thank you for sharing.
This song automatically brings me back to the good old time, gone forever.
Not gone forever. WE keep it in us as long as we are here. And implant truth in our children.
Plus the South is still planning to take back our still UNlawfully Federally occupied land ! WE WANT OUR SOUTH NATION BACK !
WE have had our updated CSA Constitution since 2012, ratified by the people and by the 2CC. And our Declaration of Freedom and Independence is ready and has been for the last 17 years ! !
The South Nation is far from dead or forgotten !
WE Confederates are still very much here !

I respect the difference between friendship and distant business ties. I admire that type of honesty in others, especially.
I'm from California and i like this song. I don't have a problem with it at all! It's part of the southern heritage! So be it!
“The prevailing ideas entertained … by the old constitution were, that the enslavement of the African was in violation of the laws of nature; that it was wrong in principle, socially, morally, and politically … Those ideas, however, were fundamentally wrong. They rested on the assumption of the equality of races. This was an error …
Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite ideas; its foundations are laid, it’s cornerstone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the whites man; that slavery, the subordination to the superior race, is his natural and moral condition. This, our new government, is the first, in the history of the world, based upon this great physical philosophical, and moral truth.”
- Alexander Stevens, Vice President of the Confederacy
@@Mausertwo First, it was Yankee slave ships, following the work of Europeans, bringing slaves to the States.
Second, Africa has a 3500+ year history of slavery from 1500BC to the present day. African slavery was known worldwide before the States were created and continue into the 21st century.
Third, the North invaded Dixie to keep the tariff money from Southern cash crops under the control of the US Treasury. As proof, I submit three non-confederate sources.
English author, Charles Dickens:
"The Northern onslaught upon slavery was no more than a piece of specious humbug designed to conceal its desire for economic control of the Southern states."
This short telegram, from William Tecumseh Sherman to Abraham Lincoln, is dated December 22, 1864. “I beg to present you as a Christmas gift the city of Savannah with 150 heavy guns and plenty of ammunition and also about 25,000 bales of COTTON,” Sherman wrote.
In 1924, the US Federal Reserve post this History of Cotton report. Notice the first graph. Cotton in 1800 starts out as zero since the cotton gin, created at the turn of the century, was not readily available nor was Cotton a major crop.
By 1850, cotton had become a major (southern) cash crop bringing in 53.36% of the total revenue. By 1870, that cotton total covered 60.28%.

Lincoln's invasion of the South was for MONEY, and nothing else. But, to sound HOLIER THAN THOU, the North hid their invasion behind FOUR FALSE CAUSES or LIES.
1. Secession is illegal
2. The South rebelled
3. Preserve the Union (Treasury)
4. Slavery
Your comment is to articulate to be from California LOL
Correct its heritage
Southern heritage = K.K.K., Rednecks, marrying cousins, segregation, cottons, etc.
Un grand hymne, Chaleureux message de la France. 🇫🇷👏
It’s a beautiful anthem, regardless of the nation and values it used to represent.
Yes, it represented Southern rights!
I am a true grandson of the old south and very proud!
HOORAY HOORAY HOORAY FOR THE BONNIE BLUE FLAG!!!!!
To the Union and Confederacy....may there STILL be peace to BOTH sides....and may the war that was fought, be NEVER repeated; Honor to the NATION, BOTH halves. -A humble but proud Union Reenactor.

I am a yank, I always loved this song.
Beautiful song and grand old days. I wish I was in Dixie.
Wonderful versions of our favoriate songs. Got Democracy, and Freedom, Hurrah for the South.
States rights to what?
Democracy to what?
The confedracy was founded on the virtues of slavery.
So states rights to what?
The song is good though.
Btw my decendents served in the confederate armed forces
HOORAY from ALABAMA !
I sang this song and I like your presentation here! Thanks for doing it!
The dance sensation that was sweepin' the nation back in '59. 1859, that is. The Rebs (yes, I am a Yankee) had all the cool songs.
I live here in McAllen,TX and here it's a mix of Hispanic,Mexican,and possibly white and one of my friends is from New Jersey and when we were walking down to a park we would hangout at and one of the flags the neighbors had was a confederate states flag right next to a Texan flag and this doesn't bother me but it bothers my friend and said that we should ask to take it down but I just said"Just leave it,it's not like it's hurting anybody"and also freedom of speech
I am not from the south but I LOVE everything about it. I allow want to be born and raised in south!!
Navy vet here, Deo Vindice from Florida !
Very beautifully played.
Long live the son's and daughters of the confederatcy- Bonnie annie laurie and Robert E Lee,long live Dixie
WE Confederates are still here. DC Yanks don't like that we are. WE know the TRUE history they have kept well hidden, and they are very upset that we do know TRUE history.
@@CSAcitizen you lost a defensive war, outnumber 10 to 1. Keep all your hooting and hollering but it don’t change the reality of your situation.
What you guys stood for was evil, and treason to our nation. The war was about preserving the institution of slavery, and nothing else.
@@animacs2728 Lincoln admitted he invaded Dixie for REVENUE MONEY!
Lincoln's 19 April, 1861 Proclamation for Naval Blockades of Southern Ports:
"Whereas an insurrection against the Government of the United States has broken out in the States of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas, and the laws of the United States for the COLLECTION OF THE REVENUE cannot be effectually executed therein comformably to that provision of the Constitution which requires DUTIES to be uniform throughout the United States:..."
The US House of Representatives said the same thing:
"Resolved by the House of Representatives of the Congress of the United States, That the present deplorable civil war has been forced upon the country by the disunionists of the Southern States now in revolt against the constitutional Government and in arms around the capital; that in this national emergency Congress, banishing all feelings of mere passion or resentment, WILL RECOLLECT ONLY ITS DUTY TO THE WHOLE COUNTRY; that this war is not waged upon our part in any spirit of oppression, nor for any purpose of conquest or subjugation, nor purpose of overthrowing or interfering with the rights or established institutions of those States, but to defend and maintain the supremacy of the Constitution and to PRESERVE THE UNION (financially), with all the dignity, equality, and rights of the several States unimpaired; and that as soon as these objects are accomplished the war ought to cease."

Wonderful song! What a privilege it is to be southern born and have pride for my dixie land! Keep her flying brothers and sisters.
I found this really cool story about my Great, Great, Great Grandfather Henry Cox who was born to Nathan Cox and Sarah Sally (Wheeler) Cox in 1827... Henry Cox was born in Tennessee and at an early age settled with his parents in the farming community of Moccasin (Lawrence Co.), Tennessee. This town is near the present day Five Points, Tennessee and was named Moccasin because of the abundance of this poisonous water snake in the numerous spring fed creeks. By 1850 he had married his first wife Elizabeth.
During the Civil War, Henry fought with the Confederacy in the Tennessee infantry, Company G 48. One day as he was heading toward Corinth, Mississippi to fight at what became known as the Battle of the Shiloh an event occurred that changed his life. As he related many years later to his grandchilren, he had become extremely hungry so much so that as he was passing a cornfield, his thoughts turned to food. Although the ears of corn were not fully developed, he ate his fill of the "roastnears" and became deathly ill. Once he recovered, the Battle of Shiloh was over. This illness probably saved his life as the Battle of Shiloh was a staggering defeat for the Confederacy.
Henry lived a good long life, was a staunch Democrat and involved in the religious life of his community. It is not known if he was a member of the Church of Christ but many of his family members were. He had three good marriages and at the age of ninety-seven died and was buried in the Will Richardson Cemetery near Five Points, Tennessee. The cause of death was listed as senility.
Cemetery is listed as Crabb-Richardson and/or Will Richardson Cemetery, Lawrence Co., Tennessee.
All ways liked that songs.
I thank God everyday for being American and for being born in the South
Its great to see a video that has not been contaminated by the anti-southern cult. Its nice to find a sanctuary to enjoy Dixie! Peace and love to Dixie!

Don't worry if I turn to be President of my country I shall recognize the Dixie as sovereign nation and I will invite your state leader to visit us I will prepare a very special arrival for him with the huge Dixie Flag
Ryan Lacap
First of all the president doesn’t have that kind of power, and 2nd, good luck getting THAT through congress.
It's been contaminated with the pro-southern cult though, so it's a lose lose.
Those facts are really interesting and useful for understanding - the song itself just past splendid as a rousing, enthusing thing. There were early wax cylinders of Dixie produced as played by Southern regimental bands. Talk about a thrill to hear it out a big 6' horn!
An interesting and very odd fact is that the United States Marine Band actually recorded "Deutschland, Deutschland, Uber Alles"!!! How about that for an oddity? The occasion must have been a visit by a German foreign minister or ambassador way-before any hostilities had occurred, such as in the early-mid-Thirties. Perhaps it was when The Hindenburg dirigible arrived. (We would not give them the element helium so they used hydrogen, and so it was flammable on account, and eventually blew-up! This of course has absolutely nothing to do with Dixie or the South, but I thought I'd mention it as an oddity of music history.
. : .
This should be our 2nd national anthem!
Deo Vindice ! Greetings from France ...
Greeting to France from Dixie!

Lovely playing
Me drawing a map of the british empire reviving the confederacy as a crown colony
The South will NEVER be a colony of Britain.
Brits were not even the people who settled the South Nation. The British were in the North.
Welsh and Irish and Scottish were the ones who mostly settled the South land.
And in the South southerners were friendly with the Indian Tribes. It was the North DC Federalists who killed and destroyed the Indian Tribes and caused the Trail of Tears and broke every treaty they ever made with the Tribes !.
Had the Tribes made treaties with the Confederates those treaties would have been kept and honored !
One of the biggest differences between the Federalists and the Confederates. Federalists were totally liars and treaty breakers. They never kept their word. The South always kept their word ! The DC Feds never did !
============
@@CSAcitizen how about a dominion
@@CSAcitizen the Welsh and Scottish are in fact British. The Scottish and Welsh helped England to create one of the great powers of all time, Great Britain. It pains me to see Scotland trying to leave Britain today.
Also, if you are indeed talking about non-English settlers, this is only true of the Deep South, Virginia was settled by England before Britain was even formed, and Virginia was by far the power center of the confederacy and it’s still always been one of the main power centers of America (along with New York) even after returning to the union
If we don't honor our ancestors how will our descendants honor us?
Well said. Now they are tearing down statues and renaming monuments. I've had it with these morons.
I think all of our civil war monuments should remain up. Anyone who chooses to fight for what they believe in is a hero in my book. They were real people, and just because history hurts their feelings doesn’t mean they need to dishonor them like that
If your ancestors had any honor they’d of won the war. My ancestors won. And now you want some kind of honorable reperations?!
@@playgroundjustice3587 You are the reason we are going to have another war, just to cleanse the earth of your putrefying brains.
Wrong
I'm British and found I'm listening to this song way too often, then I realised I live in the South of England
Proud to be a southerner from Tennessee had an ancestor that was at the battle of Chicamauga
So let me get this straight.
You uploaded a Confederate anthem.
On CZcams.
AND ENABLED COMMENTS!?!?!?!?!?!?
Freedom of speech.
At least it ain't Horst Wessel lied, or Soviet anthem.
he was just surprised that comments were enabled, how is that being a libtard, or are you one of those toxic people on the right that want to stir up trouble just as much as the left, you know the ones that give us conservatives a bad name
If they also did it with the nazi anthem then the world would end
AwCrudNoSword well it's called free speech
May God bless the South!
Howdy from Indonesia, fellers.
Don't submit to the SJWs who want to tear apart and destroy your culture!
This is the very best!
Im from upper mich ya a Yankee but I like them songs they are good
I saw the Georgia flag hanging in walmart. It is the same as this Confederate flag, but with the state seal. If they only knew, they have a Confederate flag hanging, but they won't sell what they think is the Rebel flag. I'd love to tell them how ignorant they are, but their actions precede me.

OH and this time also the correct flag
+Jack Kittle
Well, it was the first real flag of the Confederacy as the Bonnie Blue flag was apparently adopted originally by West Florida.
The second flag (I think) was the Stainless banner and the last one was the Bloodstained banner (Almost indentical except for one detail to the Stainless banner) but it was only flown for maybe a month or two until the Confederacy surrendered.
+SHADOWWOLF77 aye that's the right order the bloodstained banner had red on the far side and the flag most recognize was infact the battle flag of the south as well as its naval jack.
*****
Exactly, and what most people consider the battleflag today is actually the Navy Jack as the battleflah is square shaped and the mavy jack is rectangular shaped.
+Julian klatte
Though this particular flag is not the Bonnie blue but the Stars and Bars.
It was changed for obvious reasons.
***** The First National flag my good sir

I find that people in the South are more friendlier than in the north.
