Love that dark fiddle the girl is playing. I just bought one that looks almost identical. I've been obsessed with the dark fiddles lately, and now I've hot one.
Did the south fight for a noble cause? No. Much like the Vietnam Veterans who were told they were fighting to defeat communism and defend freedom and democracy for the South Vietnamese people when they were really fighting for the commercial interest of the Goodyear Rubber Co., they were really fighting for the commercial interests of the rich landed gentry. Did the southern soldiers fight bravely and valiantly? Yes, unquestionably. Therefore their monuments should remain undisturbed. For those who differ in opinion, how about building something rather than tearing something down? The only seceded states that raised no regiments that fought for the union were Virginia (excluding what became West Virginia) and Texas. How about erecting monuments to those men? Did the southerners have better leadership? Not really. A large portion of this is rooted in the ineptitude of their opposition, especially in the case of the Army of Northern Virginia. The south was not nearly as successful in the western and trans Mississippi theaters. Was the south primarily defeated by numbers and material? Yes, undoubtedly. This is unquestionably proven by the similarity of the casualty figures for each of the armies. The difference being where the northern armies kept growing, the southern kept shrinking. While the north continued to gain population 25% of the southern, white military aged population in 1861 died in the war.
Don't get me wrong. This is a great tune. Can we talk about the name though? Why did he have to name it? New camptown races?.... There's the Bob Wills School of naming things where he would just stick new in front of something and add words to it, but the melody would stay the same. I just really like camptown races... This has nothing to do with that song lol
Although accurate in most ways, this video is a biased rendering because it dismisses the very real constitutional arguments about secession which existed and had some legal basis; a fair rendering would have included that discussion. To this day, the issue has never been decided by our constitutional system (Supreme Court), but only by force of arms.
it was about states rights... about states not having the right( or having the right) to have slaves...... not sure why that would be a secret myth lmfao
I noticed she called it as a cross-A tune but they played it in G. Now, that's a banjo's fiddler for ya there! Good thing because that grandma was absolutely shredding.
Lived there for Many years those Waters fed us many of days very thankful for what the oklawaha has given to me I'll be on her Feb 11th rain or shine.hooe to c you there brothers and sister's ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Slavery,slavery, and nothing but slavery was the ONLY CAUSE . If you think otherwise,it’s because of years of inbreeding in your family left you mentally handicapped..
@@travisbayles870 and again rights to what ? Don't say secession or drafting it's own regulations because those are just a means to an end. There must be a end goal to it . "Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery - the greatest material interest of the world. Its labor supplies the product, which constitutes by far the largest and most important portions of commerce of the earth." That is your so called "rights" there.
@@travisbayles870 again you are dodging the question, why did the south seceded. It's because of slavery. That makes the whole exist of the CSA inhumane,
