We will welcome to our numbers the loyal, true and brave Shouting the Battle cry of Freedom! And Although he may be poor, not a man shall be a slave!! Shouting the Battle cry of Freedom!
We are springing to the call from the east and from the west, Shouting the Battle Cry of Freedom! And we will hurl the rebel crew from(if need be we will die for) the land we love best, Shouting the Battle Cry of Freedom!
The union forever, hurrah boys hurrah, down with the traitor and up with the stars! And we'll rally round the flag boys, rally once again, Shouting the battle cry of freedom!
I'm from Georgia but I despise the "southern" version. It was put forth by people fighting to defend their right to own black slaves while the original version celebrates freedom and abolitionism and the union.The idea that the confederacy was fighting for states right is a lie that the old confederates made up in the 1880's, 20 years after the war was over. Let's be clear, the rebels were clear about their intentions in 1860 and 1861. They thought it was their god-given right to own other people. Shame on all my ancestors who believed that nonsense.
This is going to be an unpopular opinion but I'm gonna remind you that the largest slave market was actually in New York city, a stones throw from Wall Street. Everyone profited from slavery. Racism didn't stop at the Mason Dixon line and don't think for one SECOND that one side was better than the other. Abolition was a political move, and while steps were attempted at creating equality, they were undone by the legislation. Education is the only way we are going to move forward. Instead of talking about tolerance, both sides need to *be* tolerant. Instead of talking about justice both sides need to *act* just. One more thing, human trafficking is the 21st century term for slavery.
> “Those States have assume the right of deciding upon the propriety of our domestic institutions; and have denied the rights of property established in fifteen of the States and recognized by the Constitution; they have denounced as sinful the institution of slavery; they have permitted open establishment among them of societies, whose avowed object is to disturb the peace and to eloign the property of the citizens of other States” - South Carolina Declaration of Secession The Confederacy themselves said it’s about slavery

Like many songs of those turbulent times, there was also a southern version of it. Being from Louisiana I like the southern version but as an American I love both versions. As we stand before troubled times yet again, let this song resound as a call against those who would seek our destruction that we stand united forevermore and shall never again be divided.
The Union forever hurrah boys!!! Hurrah!!! Down with the traitor, up with the stars as we rally round' the flag boys rally once again, shouting the battle cry of freedom.
You do not speak for anyone besides yourself. Shame on ALL the Northern aggressors and God bless the BRAVE PATRIOTS of the Confederacy who fought for the country as it was founded. States Rights FIRST, freedom from Federal tyranny.
I love the original lyrics that said "Up with the Star' because a lot of Union regiments carried Battle cry of freedom flags that had a single 5 pointed star and on rare occasions a 6 pointed star in the Union box of the American flag. 🌈🌈🌹🏰🏰🌺🌈🌈✝️🌩️🌩️⚡⛈️🌺🏰🌹🌈✡️🎵The rainbow of God is in the Bible.🇱🇷🔯⚡
@@arfyego0682 Thank you for the blessing in Hebrew.Aleicham Shalom(Unto you peace).The Union regiments took the star from the pre CIVIL WAR flags that had the U.S. seal star on their flags but most of the time the wrong star was used.The wrong star was a 5 pointed Star.The right star was a 6 pointed Star see over the eagle's head on U.S.one dollar bills.Enjoy and peace.
@@randomcommenter3189 I know that the Confederates tried to justify their action's with "States rights" claims, but if you look beyond their rhetoric and examine the way the Confederate government actually operated, you'll see that there was more central government control under the Confederacy than under the U.S.A. Read the Confederate constitution and you won't see any permission for their own states to secede from itself. Even even as the rebs hypocritically claimed to be exercising a "right to secede", that was certainly not a right they granted to their own states. There's a lot of comparing the confederate "volunteers" to Union "draftees", but Jeff Davis instituted the first draft in American history, and while draftees only comprises 4 % of Union troops plus 9% substitutes, they comprised 10% of Rebels plus 11%substitutes. Rich man's war, poor man's fight. The Confed constitution also dictated what laws it's own states could or could not make:“No … law denying or impairing the right of property in negro slaves shall be passed.”. They claimed that state level slave laws were none of the Fed's business when it came to abolition, but the Confed was very involved in state business when it came to preservation. The Confederacy was the greatest threat to State's rights this country has ever seen. You want fake freedom, rally around the stars and bars. You want real freedom, rally around the stars and stripes.
@@randomcommenter3189 For starters, I don't understand the end of your first sentence. For someone who prefers civil war to be "put to rest", you sure have a lot of complaints about today's Union. It doesnt seem quite fair that all the points I raise should be "put behind us", but all the points you raise should be "never forgotten". If you want to make this about the present day Union, I could name a lot of other things the founders wouldn't be too keen on, but ultimately, whatever the Union may have become, it still beats the nightmare that the Confederacy was by a long shot.
@@randomcommenter3189 bro fuck kamala she is far left I don’t wanna follow that dipshit who probably thinks communism works, a true american is a moderate who can see both sides and take good things from both not go all left or all right
Our Dixie, forever, she's never at a loss, down with the Eagle and up with the Cross, we'll rally around the bonnie flag, we'll rally once again, shout, shout the battle cry of freedom! God bless south! I think it's version more better, my dear Yankees friends))))
Better? All that version did was change a few lyrics to make it sympathetic towards the confederacy. I could've wrote it in three minutes flat. The music and CORRECT lyrics of this masterpiece were written by and for Unionists.
Then after you finish the last chorus a shell bursts in your line with the screams of your wounded comrades soon after and the whole cause evaporates from your mind replaced with fear. Don’t romanticize war.
Kommissar What’s this? Someone finds the Roman Empire interesting? Wow that guy must love Roman legionaries slaughtering Celtic villages and any Roman war in general
If there's a provision against a state leaving the union in the constitution, show it to me. And I say that as a loyal northern born yankee. Before the war they used to say the United States are. After the war they said the United States is.
the union is at war . it is why people have guns . the war when it gets hot . the people will fight . you can go as a state . if you defeat the US . it is in there = union forever . the US is the 1st people army . you must kill all the people to leave 1st
You have to remember that who started the war was the confederacy at fort sumter , not the union. And the reason why the union was so right at the civil war is that : Besides defending theirselves, they made the constutucion up to all man and women across the country , freeing slaves and reuniting the country around one flag for all , white and black . The Union Forever !
An Empire forever, Hurrah mates, Hurrah! Down with the scoundrels, up with the Crown. Yeah, we'll rally 'round the flag men, we'll salute 'em nice and proud. Singing the chorus for Queen's glory! "God Save The Queen!"
There's power in a factory, power in a land, Power in the hands of a worker! But it all amounts to nothing, if together we don't stand. There is power in a union! The union forever, defending our rights! Down with the blackleg, all workers unite With your brothers and your sisters from many far off lands! There is power in a union!
@@stephenparallox in what world should this be used against him ? The President was elected to lead our glorious UNION. Down The Russian Collision Hoaxers and up with the 2nd Term ! #keepamericagreat Down With the traitors and up with the Star!
