Sounds like a hell of a man, a real man, next shot to him and his legacy, cheers brother!

Yeah but the Civil War wasn't fought because of oppression it was fought over taxes.

@@UncleRunt86 thank you for letting them know. When your children are starving because the north wanted 80 percent of your income . It was called the war of Northern aggression . You folks need to know. This was a rebel running from the north.

@@UncleRunt86 shut.

@@UncleRunt86 yeah the emancipation proclamation tax code? 😂 stfu . The first Republican Party was all black and by abolitionist who wanted to end slavery. I’m sure the 620,000 people died who fighting for tax credits 😂

Gregarious Antithesis nothing is better

Amen

Amen baby that is so true

AMIN .BROTHER .

Your comment made me stay to listen only after the sounds got me.

And southern folks still fly the battle flag that would've kept the slave economy going if it had won. That's the most haunting part of all, white folks don't change

D Cowboys Agree 100%

Vomit, from my tounge, are the words,, fear of the northern soldiers guns

Vomit from my tounge, are the words, conveying fear for his family, knowing he would die.. defending them from the northern soldiers

Daniel Bearden What history book did you read?

D Cowboys I get ya

WORD!

So sorry you experienced that.

Sttonkeoj That's a great movie!

Agree, the monument to the 54th was destroyed by the mob. They were brave men and their memory should be honored

Born and bred in Massachusetts. Go 54th! Glory!

Same

Very well said Ma'am.

Fuck yes!

Please explain more by what you mean by that I’m genuinely interested

Im willing to give up all I have for the Constitution of the United States of America. I chose to stand my ground and defend it with my life.

I chose family and homeland in my opinion

jodiescookin1 what is the beautifull ?

Burak Orhan What is your point?

Yes, exactly my thoughts too. Or possibly a freed slave that has started a life... and is willing to leave it all behind (taking nothing with me) and run to the line and to have the chance to fight back and “chase the taste of bondage from his tongue.” Ive thought about it both ways. Makes sense either way.

I think what adds an even more emotional layer to the song is that, despite being freed and being able to get out of his situation and leave his troubles behind, the slave takes it upon himself to join the fight so that his fellow brothers in chains may be avenged and/or freed as well. So he very selflessly picks up a gun and marches towards the gunfire and beating drums of war, leaving his wife/lover behind so that she may flee to safety not truly knowing if he'll ever see her again. It's such a stirring song that has stayed with me from the very first time I heard it.

this is a very eye-opening and powerful viewpoint for this song. cant say ill ever hear it the same. thank you.

It is a powerful, very moving song. Wish it had broader exposure!

Agreed

Hell ya chris 2020

yes this song especially has a great message

C. Coleman recommend any others?

Roots never change but the branches usually form new sights. Blue grass it seems however surviving and growing even as the mainstream and underground fall. Must be gaining a new following

I prefer I'm a good ol rebel

Damn right!

As much as it pains me to say, i think the day is fast approaching when a lot of people are going to be reminded of this fact.

Rick Logsdon That line at Disney land for the tea cups was NOT worth it. Freaking lies.

That just proves how lazy you are, also you would probably give up a fight to a fence post and your hair color is a lie

Like a unified country? Like freedom from a slavery-based economy? Too late, that war was fought and lost, just yesterday, for all of us.

Absolutely love this song for that reason. As a Civil War historian, this is one of the most important tales to tell of the war,. lovely to hear it in song

@Christopher Bingham they're from Tennessee

Listen to johnny boys bones by colter wall

Listen to Josephine by cory and rory

A shame Mr. Lincoln couldn't have heard this. I think he would have liked it.

✊😥

@@mpaxton8991 Sic Semper Tyrannis!!

Great song hahaha now I'm playing it with my violin

@@wadesage9732 Lincoln and freedom in the same sentence??? American understanding of their own history is pathetic.

Have another--- or four.

Mike Cox just FYI, Chris Stapleton doesn’t sing for them anymore since he went on his solo career. They have a new singer..

@@whiskeyjohnson3964 .

Whiskeybuisness it's about the civil war

+maddog brony73 its actually about slaves running to the north for their freedom and fighting with the union soldiers ;)

Well put, everyone dies in war, some just manage to keep living afterwards.

@@thitsugaya1224 True, but are you actually alive, and how many of your brothers did it take to make it so?

I actually like that you stated that cuz you make a really good point and in the line or he says Standing Tall the situation is so desperate at the time that the soldiers if they were underage let's say I think you had to be 13 to enlist in the war at the time was it 13 or 10 I would like I can't remember they were taking kids and so they would basically stay are you over 13 you have 11 year old trying to sign up if it was 13 or I think it was even sixteen by CI doesn't matter anyways I would ask him are you over so and so are you over this much of age and they would say yes and in order to get around the LIE they would have had that much amount of money underneath their shoe like inside the bottom between the shoe in the hill so it was so desperate it was if they had a 10 underneath their heal the the commander was asking are you over 10 and then go yes and it's so the loophole the idea of a lie they would walk away and then take the 10 out the $10 bill and I'd be like here you out you know I wasn't lying that was over ten so I thought that was kind of cool but yeah definitely a desperate situation

Universal suffrage

Ivantheterrible666 your right the United States didnt kill 50 million lmao go look it up

Bryguy children were kid nap’d for food by common people in the Soviet Union your children were at risk of being stolen for a meal by your neighbor learn some history boy

Bryguy You should try knowing what you’re talking about before posting.

Bryguy were you in slaved ? Stop bitching and stfu and live your free life just like everybody else

So you believe in a fantasy because that's no where near what happened. Sherman would have had his men run a train on slave women.

@@StandWatie1862 we all need fantasies to make us better men.

@@sheep9546 That doesn't make you a better man. That makes you delusional. Did you read that out of a fortune cookie?

Yes, very haunting, and you can almost feel the fright and the urgency they felt thinking about possible freedom. Gives me chills!

And some people think we have it rough today

Our ancestors have been through our own kind of pain. Everyone has been through pain no one's f****** special. F*** anyone who thinks they are special

Amen

Why don't you feel bad about what blacks are currently doing to your people? We're living in the consequences of unleashing blacks upon society.

#metoo

I agree!!

Hes doin good so are the Steel Drivers. Both great. Even without Chris

Honestly, I love a lot of his solo music but yeah I feel most of his steel drivers vocals had so much more carry let alone the lyrics

Kristoffer Harper I think it’s the folk genre. I’ve never heard a band master it, or at least what I love most about folk as consistently as the Stapleton led Steeldrivers.

Yes it does, all the way back to 1862
