If only they could see the South now.
Bro why do I keep seeing you in the comment sections of recommended videos
@@rip_john_macias8781 Maybe we get recommended the same things due to shared interests? I tend to comment a lot on things I like.
1:53 "Playing to *discriminating* audiences" You got that right bub!
This was back when america was truly great.
@@laserbeam002facts
Went to grad school in 1978 with two Berry students. Both were great, one was a Filipina, the other was from West Africa (Gabon?) Berry is what society should strive for.
Propaganda was alive then as now.
Accurate depictions are now considered propaganda, huh?
Heritage threatens hate.
More like brainwashing....
Evil and stupidity and ignorance etc etc etc never ends or begins
Is propaganda the third oldest profession?
I don’t normally comment, but holy shit there is a moronic number of people who think that anti racism=anti white.
That is in fact its original meaning as was envisioned by its "founders".
Thank you for sharing this. There's nothing I love more than being from the South. God bless dear old Dixie.
Same here. I'm from Ole' Virginny. Don't tread on me...

"Their rightful economic heritage." This is a ghastly film in certain respects, but important cultural heritage. It would be good for a high school class discussion, I think.
Holy cow he really did say whites had a rightful economic heritage. This is some evil propaganda.
The North had always worked to take advantage of the South economically as far back as the colonial days. The nation couldn't afford to lose the South through succession. That was the real reason for the war.
@@172turtla yea ok... you probably think the South fought "for" slavery, and the North "against" it.
@@172turtla But correct to a certain extent
I think he said, poor, rural whites. Not Vivian Leigh’s grandkids.
Fascinating to hear from people from that time period. It's always good to look at history in its own context.
You do realize their preaching lost cause rhetoric right? Don't let this white supremacists propaganda fool you. Their obviously trying to cover up the South's shame.🙄😒🤦🏾♀️
History in context. How did the mass of people accept or tolerate certain conditions or beliefs? Those failing to study history may repeat it.
How many of the people accepted or tolerated the Nazi Aryan master race? Slavery? No equal rights for some groups of peoples?
This documentary is super light on slavery
Berry college. Amazing👍.
Send this to BLM.
@@michaelthomas7178 Why? Only the poor and the promising--and the white--will be admitted.
@@tomservo56954 You miss the point SJWkun. With 10 billion dollars they can try and replicate the berry school model. Instead they, the leadership, are buying fancy cars and houses and are living quite the extravagant lifestyle.
@@michaelthomas7178 Send this to your ancestors. Their shameless 🥴🙄😒 Fool can't you see these students are all white?
@@tomservo56954 good. It should be that way
"They went out to uphold the institutions they loved"...yea...like owning humans as property. Like treating them worse than their livestock. To think that a human could actually buy another human makes my stomach turn. Human kindness overflowing. God help me to keep my heart from hardening.
So why watch these kinds of videos then?
Black men where lynched by KKK/Sheriff for dating white women, often getting them pregnant.
This is ok but Check out Clint Smith on crash course for a more indepth, accurate and brutally honest series on American history as it should be told.
he a bullshit artist
Sounds like FOX News.
Thank you, at least I can find SOMEBODY in this comment section who agrees this is white supremacists propaganda.
And today Columbia university announced a segregated graduation. We're going backwards now.
@Mike Smith wow
@Mike Smith what did your comment mean? I took it one way but I'll let you explain what you really meant.
Do you mean that white and colored people are examined by different criteria?
No he means there are efforts with some success to segregate different races in universities, dorms too, with the excuse the race needs to feel safe. I question if this modern 'leftist' segregation is an effort to prevent cross-cultural pollination and let the better aspects of both continue while eliminating the worst aspects. Also, it is easier to socially engineer, manage, groups of people under identity politics, which is based on culture, although it claims to be identity by race.
@@tubi333 no, I mean the black students requested to have segregated graduations all on their own as far as the report I saw said. They didn't really say why they wanted to do it.
“They went out to uphold *the institutions they loved* and to defend what they believed to be their rights.” No wonder ignorance is abundant nowadays about the main reason for - and the very cause of - the American Civil War: the slavery in the Southern states.
Everyone joins the army to fight for their country..right or wrong..just like our troops in Afghanistan guarding the poppy crops, the southerners joined up, sometimes reluctantly, like those fighting in Vietnam, to "protect their families, and their country". You should show respect for your fellow humans, even if you dont like what their government stands for.
There were other issues at the time that contributed to the civil war. Look them up.
@@laserbeam002 there are always other issues, sometimes more compelling. History eventually decides, regardless of the truth. It's kinda feudalism anyway?
@@laserbeam002 Read there was a national bank established after the Civil war. Wondering if the South attempted succession to avoid a national bank.
Maybe the ignorance is yours. These people had grandparents in that war. And Mrs Berry was born into it. They'd know better than you. You should watch and read more about what their generation had to say rather than what's been indoctrinated into you. Or just go back and watch Django Unchained and think you've learned something.
Very conspicuously leaves out many of the south's... Less reputable deeds...
Balanced to a certain degree, considering. An impossible situation really...a constitutional nation with human bondage.
Originally released in 1945.
"I wish I were in Dixie." 🎶 🪕
Time machine
This 45th parallel Veteran very much appreciated this video. I am surprised the CC has not subsumed it into oblivion. Let's pass it on while we can.
America, bless God.
You said it, Danny torrente!
"They fought to uphold the institutions they loved."
Holy Smokes.....nothing said of furniture making (Southern industry) in NC??
Fascinating to see this short. In modern terms, much of this is dreadful propaganda to be showing young children uncritically, but it does help to explain contemporary views still held strong in the south.
Your definition of Propaganda is inaccurate
I feel sorry for people who see the South as demonstrably different from the rest of the country. Places like California and NY are hailed as enlightened while having the same core social and economic issues as Florida and Texas.
California is rudderless. Turning into a worthless Socialist State with liberals taking ineffectual feckless turns at the rudder. Rapid separation of society by financial guidelines.
The only "minorities" doing well are those elected to public office. They have proven to be just as susceptible to bribes, sexual malfeasance, inept performance and the use of gauzy, opaque deterrents to transparency as "The Man." Who would've surmised so?
The Socialist government mayors, county supervisors and big city council members pay themselves large salaries and benefits. Their lavish lifestyles equaled only by union busses. It's a mess.
Oh. My. Gawd.
Good grief you'd think Leni Riefenstahl directed this.
I remember going to school and seeing these educational movies
This film shows no historical insight whatsoever.
An exercise in ignorance and discrimination.
And tobacco was the basis of wealth.
The start of the “victim state” ! The democrat party that held people in bondage would soon after this video change the plantation to victim status erasing their their history by removing their statues and convincing their sheep that the party’s switched! 😢
@@brosefmcman8264 the Democrats should apologize for their terrible history. Bunch of hypocrites indeed !
Pulling down a few statues of old soldiers means nothing. .
This is what is meant when they say the good old days.
All times are crappy because people are stu- Hey look, clowns!
No drag Queen's back then? Inter racial dating?
Aristocratic = Lazy and Violent, blaming their victims.
TLDR: the south misses slavery.
Who in the South have you talked to that misses slavery? Or were you too lazy to ask anyone. Then lazily posted your uneducated, uninformed and ridiculous opinion...
@C. W. Sayre
According to who, you? Do you know how many blacks live in the South now? Specifically in Hampton Roads Virginia where I live? African Americans are around 49% of the population here. In the South. Do you think they're being held here against their will? The opportunities have got to be a factor. There are no operating plantations anymore. Other than the Democratic ones. This ain't the "old days"...pal.
@C. W. Sayre
Hampton Roads is south of Richmond. Pal. The former Capitol of the Civil war era South. You are proving my point that things have in fact, changed. Do you not understand that?
@C. W. Sayre
You seemingly are not capable, or are refusing to read and understand my comments. What I said has nothing to do with your life in Raleigh NC. Enjoy your argument by yourself.
@C. W. Sayre
The speed of your typing won't increase your capacity of comprehension. Like I already said, argue with yourself. You seem to enjoy one sided conversation. Your inability to understand my comments doesn't give credence to your argument. It just makes you look ignorant of the ability to have an intelligent one.
The wealth that was built by the bodies of Black people.
What is the exact date?
Not much has changed in the South.
Integration has killed the black owned businesses and industries, LBJs welfare destroyed many families, usury has set things back too. Only the clothes and music show these "modern" times.. the indebtedness is the same.
Uhhh...if you don't think much has changed in the South since this film, you aren't very intelligent or informed. What, exactly, hasn't changed?
@@nickv1008 Thank you, tell the truth, @Nick V let the fools here it! Integration did absolutely nothing for African Americans and this video is one of the many reasons why.
@@queencocoa2278 integration did help minorities in the school system. Unfortunately the quality and "political correctness " of the schools has changed. Not for the better. I am concerned what my grandchildren are being taught.
You are an idiot. There is almost no comparison to the south of the 40's and today.
Damn they really packed a hole lotta evil into this little video
All I am going to say As a black man I can honestly say I am glad my ancestors were brought here even if they were slaves. Not sure how well I would do in Africa. I don't like eating mud pies or snakes and I am sure that my large butt could not out run a lion trying to eat my ass. That's all I have to say about that.
Wtf kind of coonsambo talk did I just read 🤡
Bro that’s slick racist. Not everybody in Africa lives in desolation
@@wikiboy63 Allow him/her Americans are ignorant but essentially she/he has a point. Is 10x better there than here
@@memphisakan4691 some places in the US are just as bad as the bad parts of africa
I didn't know lions were into analingus. No doubt the schools today have updated their curriculum to include such facts.
5:40 are they barefooted
No they have the newest Nike footwear.
@@Danvers97 Ah they look white
After reading some of the comments, it is clear that they were not fortunate enough to experience this era and have been totally indoctrinated in the fiasco that is affirmative action and inclusion. Thanks to the Marxist education system and federal propaganda, society will continue its downward slide. I pity the fools who have accepted this BS.
These people are actually crazy enough to get on here, and talk to us like the rich have a reason to tell the truth.
SAD!
No coloureds at the Berry School please.
Typical white supremacists, I swear you racist never change no matter how many years.
Only via the servants entrance. And don’t use white toilets .
Hog wash.
Not one mention of slavery, so not much changed.
Oops, once.
Shot your load early again, huh?
Slave is short for the word Slavic, the Europeans were the first modern slaves. Facts not taught in school.
Not much has changed? Lol...what a maroon...
Oops again, twice. Attention Deficit sufferer?
Lots of little snowflakes... Its beginning to look a lot like kanazawa.
Yep, sure do see a hell of a lot of white privilege here.
Evil racists... Horrible
A embarrassing time in American history..
Proud to be a Yankee..
Bahahahaha. Dummy.
@@PETTIGREW1861 kick your South's azzz again ..
Yes BLM IS EVIL AND RACIST.

I got news for you, New York City had slavery for 200 years.
The good old days, when everything was in place.
Hahaha
You lost the civil war! You lost the White House, Congress and the Senate. Get over it.
@@albear972 Putin will come, he will put things in order !!!))))))
@@user-rh5gs2wi7w he’s doing such a great job in Ukraine! 😂
@albear972 when yall get over "racism" we will get over the war of Northern aggression.
The rest of the country did not think highly of the south and this documentary was made to tell the improvements the south had made and elevate the south in the eyes of the rest of the nation. Abraham Lincoln had reconstruction plans for the south , but was assassinated and no one
else in government took it up. The south needed to do it themselves to become more responsible after depending on slavery for their economy all those years.The cvil war totally impoverished them. Desegregation by law is what finally broke them and they began to become a part of the rest of the country. The democrats of today , that have become leftists , are a spin off
of the old prejudice elitist mindset (high falooting)democrats of the old south.They do not see themselves as a part of the USA. They like to rule through immoral destabilizing of institutions
and the economy and and incouraging a disregard for law and order. As peoples ideas change concerning what human decency is ,
it becomes harder to govern and invites the possibility for despotic rule. The more old fashioned virtues are taught in schools and the public square, the better.
You nailed it! The rest of america was beyond more open to minority, why do so many think everyone was racist at this time, they couldn't be further from the truth. A 65% toll of people for african americans in 1940.
Better times are coming, educated, professional Caucasian women are choosing strong Black Alpha males to create bi racial super humans that will be athletic and smart, therefore successful and productive. Latin American's will make up 25% of the population and will increase. Middle Eastern immigration will continue as well. All this to say, the day's of rich 85 year old mostly white men who hate women, LGBTQ, are coming to a end. Of course if your country re elects that insane old corrupt RE publican, we are all doomed. Ross Perrot 2024, common sense revolution.
Vote Trump!
Grandpa tell me about the good old days
🤮
Bring back the old South
I wish I could post this on Fistbook and Twatter,think of all the snowflakes and sjw's exploding with fake rage
