Arthur is from the South or atleast Midwest or Southwest Mentions Nevada and Ohio and Illinois areas a lot but the game starts in Blackwater which is based on Missouri
@Codewordthecerealkiller0 missouri is a northern state. Was on unions side. No southerners in the vanderlinde gang. Dutchs father dies at gettysburg and he hates southerners
It is almost an in between of John Brown's Body and Battle Hymn. Remember Battle hymn is based on John Brown's Body, an abolitionist song sung first by Presbyterian abolitionists, and brought with them as they headed to DC in the first batch of volunteers. In fact after waiting for troops to arrive nervously, Lincoln finally found them and in that joyous moment realizing people would fight, they where singing John Brown's Body.
what version of battle hymn *isn't* abolitionist? "in the beauty of the lilies, Christ was born across the sea with a glory in his bosom that transfigures you and me as he died to make men holy let us die to make men free while God is marching on"
As a Canadian that always liked the song but only looked more into it just now... Abolitionism is literally in the name of the dang song. It's the Battle Hymn of the *Republic.* "The Republic" chose abolition. Those slavers literally wanted to tear the republic apart. Also, it was written by Julia Ward Howe, apparently a noted abolitionist and feminist.
@@neolexiousneolexian6079 Yeah it really is a beautiful song. I’ve always thought it would make a great national anthem, far better than the one the United States has now.
Tbh, this song is all over the place. If I have the story down correct, the modern battle hymn of the republic was a poem, one that became very popular, similar to the Sacred War in the former Soviet Countries. The song originally started out as John Brown's body, now sadly, most recordings of this song use the awfully bland lyrics, like, for example, "John Brown's Body Lies A Moldering In The Grave3x" His soul is marching on! Glory, Glory, Hallelujah!3x, The Stars above in Heaven now are looking kindly down3x on the grave of old John Brown!" etc, etc. However, there is a much better and also official version of the song which has far better lyrics in my opinion Old John Brown's body lies a moldering in the grave, While weep the sons of bondage whom he ventured all to save; But though he sleeps his life was lost while struggling for the slave, His soul is marching on. Glory Hallelujah! John Brown was a hero, undaunted, true and brave, And Kansas knew his valor when he fought her rights to save; And now, though the grass grows green above his grave, His soul is marching on. (Chorus) He captured Harper's Ferry, with his nineteen men so few, And frightened "Old Virginny" till she trembled through and through They hung him for a traitor, themselves a traitorous crew, But his soul is marching on. (Chorus) John Brown was John the Baptist of the Christ we are to see -- Christ who of the bondmen shall the Liberator be, And soon throughout the Sunny South the slaves shall all be free, For his soul is marching on. (Chorus) The conflict that he heralded he looked from heaven to view, On the army of the Union with its flag red, white and blue. And heaven shall ring with anthems o'er the deed they mean to do, For his soul is marching on. (Chorus) Ye soldiers of Freedom, then strike, while strike ye may, The death blow of oppression in a better time and way, For the dawn of old John Brown has brightened into day, And his soul is marching on. (Chorus) Credit, wikipedia And hell, I've written my own version of this song Well, he was born to a family now eight, Of which none of us exaggerate, And he would be the bullet that broke the state. His soul is marching on! He moved to Kansas in the spring of 1855 And for eleven years peace wouldn't thrive, and not a single slaver at the end would survive! His soul is marching on! Well, he loaded up his rifle and planned to take them to the ground, and for as long as he lived he'd preach the bible all around, he was brave and he was true and his name was John Brown. His soul is marching on! John Brown's body lies a moldering in the grave, While weep the sons of bondage whom he ventured out to save; and though he lost his life in his struggle to free the slave, His soul is marching on! John Brown was a hero, undaunted, true, and brave, And Kansas knew his valor when he fought her rights to slave; And now, though the grass, grows green above his grave, His soul is marching on! Glory, Glory Hallelujah Glory, Glory Hallelujah Glory, Glory Hallelujah But his soul is marching on! He raided Harper's Ferry, with his nineteen men so few, he frightened old Virginny till she trembled through and through They hanged him for a traitor, themselves a traitor crew, But his soul is marching on! All the world that's owned by idle drones is ours and ours alone. We have laid the wide foundations, built it skyward stone by stone. It is ours, not to slave in, but to master and to own. While the unions make us strong Solidarity forever! Solidarity forever! Solidarity forever! The Unions make us strong! John Brown was John the Baptist of the Christ we are to see -- Christ who of the bondmen shall the Liberator be, And soon throughout the Sunny South the slaves shall all be free, For his soul is marching on. Solidarity forever! Solidarity forever! Solidarity forever! The Unions make us strong! Rip John Brown.
Slavery was frowned upon by many Americans in the northern part of the United States especially when Slavery was frowned upon by Abraham Lincoln. At first the Civil war was to Keep America from tearing itself apart then when Europe threatened to Intervene with the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln Said it’s now A war on Slavery. And he wanted America to be a Beacon of freedom without the country being a Hypocrite After saying it’s a war against Slavery European Countries backed off.
