Sung by Connie Francis "Oh! Susanna" is a folk song by Stephen Foster (1826-1864), first published in 1848. It is among the most popular American songs ever written.
First time i have listen this song when a 67 years old tail gunner of b-17 singed this at barbecue in new jersey. He went into sunset a few years ago and when i listen this song i remember him. Surely he sang uncensored edition. Земля пухом, Браун старший. Ты был настоящим американцем, таких сейчас больше нет.
@@apollothefirst Russians are allowed to love their country, it is no surprise that they would extend that warmth to us trapped in a country who hates its history and its ancestors.
The federal government was never our friend, it was always letting us live as long as we were its slaves. In a war historians claim was about slavery we were all enslaved to a thing that hates everything we stand for.
I'm from northern Italy, we used to sing the rude version of this song in 4th grade. I think the boy scout bought it over and it became popular because of them. And 'cos it's a good, simple tune.
Oh god. I remember singing this in the mid 2000’s. Of course it was elementary school but I’m not even in Alabama. Like Bruh im in Cali thuggin out to this banger.
In the 19th century, many Southerners came to California and Oregon singing that song on the trail. It was really popular when I was in elementary school in Sacramento County in the 1950s. That's why Connie Francis did a version. There was also a big folk music revival going on. California elementary schools used to have songbooks issued in elementary schools full of folk songs. I'm curious if you had such books in the 2000s if all schools did, and what was in them. Ever sing, "The Dummy Line?" I was playing, "Oh Susana" on a harmonica, along with Dixie and other things when I was ten. I still play now, BTW.
Very honorable song and men of the Confederacy! The country lasted for only 5 years OH BUT LOOK WHAT THAT YOUNG COUNTRY ACCOMPLISHED IN THOSE 5 YEARS! Salute to the Honorable and Brave Confederate soldiers.....
@@sammyfolsom3928Yeah, in only five years they firmly cemented the stereotype of southerners as ignorant racists, an image that they actively perpetuate to this day. Turning on your county because you're butthurt that they don't want to let you own humans like pets isn't something to be proud of and the fact that so many people like you think it is makes the rest of us think that one march to the sea was clearly not enough.
This song was written about a generation before the War of Rebellion. It would have been considered and old song sung for amusement by solders and civilians alike and have nothing to do with the politics of the 1860s.
What is this War of Rebellion and where is it mentioned in history books? You talk like it's a well known thing but I can only think of The War for Independence, the Civil War, and WWI and II.
@@ifyouloveChristyouwillobeyhim The proper name and the name of what is called the war between the states aka civil war is the War of the Rebellion. That name was buried by the 'Lost Cause' movement, look for it to be making a come back.
@@Tom-rg2ex Yes, that was just part of the American tradistion of the humor in exageration, ie "the wind was so strong last night that it blew a line of fence post out of the ground and across the river and dropped the holes on the peoples roofs." If you want crude lines that would now be regarded as racist, try to find black folk songs from the peroid - the lyrics of which were offen sanitized for white audiance when plagerized by whites claiming to be their authors. Story lines as harsh as the later "Winnin' Boy" were common.
@@Leonardo_B Creole, Cajun, Southern hospitality, Immigration, New York, Cowboys, The Wild West, Hollywood, Native American culture, Blue Jeans, Bible belt, folk songs like this one, general patriotism, gold rushes and ghost towns, dozens of famous musicians, Manifest destiny, Disney, Lunch atop a Skyscraper (the photo), National parks, statue of liberty, Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, Western swing, country culture with modern ranchers... I could go on, but anyone who says America doesn't have culture is probably so surrounded by it, they just don't realize what it looks like.
I don't understand your logic here. You despise Russian invasion of Ukraine because you claimed it was war crimes and cruelty, yet you embraced the southerners, who were blatantly and proudly stated that they're racist, supported slavery, and aimed to torture as much non white people as possible. You dislike cruelty if it's Russian. You like cruelty if it's American. Talking about hypocrites.
That’s amazing because when I first heard it watching Platoon I thought it was amazing and so moving I wish David would have done a full rendition of it . Frequently I go to RU-vid to that scene and listen to him saying it
@@rorysparshott4223 I hope you realize the "slavers" you speak of were a bunch of rich white assholes that didn't even fight in the war lmao. The people that fought the war were forced to only because they lived in the south and were being tormented by the north
