Poor choice. With all that your learning about this goverment you should be singing. DIXIELAND. We are just now seeing what the South had been trying say. Get your heads out of the goverment history books. Just because the South was defeated by superior numbers does not mean it was wrong. What was said in the 1850’s is proving prophetic.
You want the police state that it would have required to keep half your population in bondage , huh?
Nonsense. The Confederate government was even more authoritarian than the North. It's pretty to paint the South as freedom-loving, but it ain't accurate.
MARCHING THROUGH GEORGIA
Bring the good old bugle, boys, we’ll sing another song
Sing it with a spirit that will start the world along
Sing it as we used to sing it, 50,000 strong
While we were marching through Georgia.
Hurrah! Hurrah! we bring the jubilee!
Hurrah! Hurrah! the flag that makes you free!
So we sang the chorus from Atlanta to the sea
While we were marching through Georgia.
How the darkeys shouted when they heard the joyful sound
How the turkeys gobbled which our commissary found
How the sweet potatoes even started from the ground
While we were marching through Georgia.
Yes and there were Union men who wept with joyful tears,
When they saw the honored flag they had not seen for years;
Hardly could they be restrained from breaking forth in cheers,
While we were marching through Georgia.
“Sherman’s dashing Yankee boys will never reach the coast!”
So the saucy rebels said and ‘twas a handsome boast
Had they not forgot, alas! to reckon with the Host
While we were marching through Georgia.
So we made a thoroughfare for freedom and her train,
Sixty miles in latitude, three hundred to the main;
Treason fled before us, for resistance was in vain
While we were marching through Georgia.
