This man came to my school and stood by himself outside the gate with his suit and flag when they banned the flag from school property. He won!! Great strong man!

I'm a very close descendant of Robert E. LEE and I learned a lot of what this magnificent Gentleman is saying as a young boy. I would sit and listen to my father and grandfather talk about a lot of this same information with the older black gentlemen that my family was raised around. I have tried to share the things I have learned with others and of course they don't believe it or want to here it.

God bless you Mr. Edgerton and I'm proud of my southern heritage!!!

I'm a mexican immigrant who is fascinated by the american civil war. I would love to sit down and talk, for a long time, with Mr Edgerton.

Proud Hispanic southerner 🖤 I support this with pride.

God bless HK Edgerton he speaks the truth highly educated on the subject something that most people need to learn

God bless you SIR!! My family fought with the 54th Virginia and with Jeb Stuart for the CONFEDERACY!! We are in a battle now in my home County of Floyd County Virginia to keep our Confedefate Monument to our ancestors. I sure wish we could have him here to speak for us at our town meeting. May God bless you mightily!!

The truth shall rise again. A good Southerner telling the truth. Thanks.

This is needed to be heard today now more than ever. I’m going to share this video. What struck me is, and I’ve known the story of the Black Eyed Peas, that after Sherman burned the south to the ground and the north just wrecked the south’s economy after the war, it was black and whites, former slave and owners who together put the south back together. I had never thought of that until he talked about it at the end of the video. Good thought provoking stuff.

Sir, I am from Massachusetts, and may I say that you are truly an inspiration. Thank you for telling the REAL history that all these children need to learn. I had an ancestor fight alongside P.T.G. Beauregard. All these offended kids need to put aside their own hate and open their eyes. May God Bless and Keep you and your family for all the years to come. You are a stone wall that General Jackson would give a salute. A TRUE American, Patriot, good Christian, and defender of Southern pride and heritage. Thank you Sir.

A true patriot who defends the constitution against the tyrants that want it destroyed

God bless him may he always have a warm sun on his shoulders and a cool breeze in his hair. To everyone have a great day and a better tomorrow

It would be an honor to shake your hand just as its a honor to listen to your words of our hidden history... you are a man of great words Mr. H.K. Edgerton. You will go down as a true Legend in my eyes... God bless you and your journey.

H.K. Edgerton, always inspiring. I've been showing his videos to my white hunting/fishing buddies and they're blown away. It's going to be a sad day when this Southern Patriot passes. I wish the liberals would pack up and leave Dixie alone. I love the South and it's the liberals that keep re-writing history that keep us, blacks and whites from coming together. Here's a social experiment for young blacks, go to a sporting goods store and find the most country looking white boy you can find, and ask him to help you pick out fishing lures or the best hunting equipment, in his opinion. You'll damn near make a friend for life. Southern whites and blacks don't have problems until the liberals show up and start race baiting, that and they keep inner city blacks ignorant by dumbing down the school curriculum. As a black southerner and veteran, I will say this, a country divided cannot stand. They're trying to steal our freedom again, and they're manipulating blacks under the guise of social equality. It's communism folks. I'm a Christian first, God our Father, is always first, next an American, then a Black Southerner. If we don't stand together, everything that's great about our Nation will be gone. God Bless America. Keep fighting the good fight H.K.

My great grandfather died in Nashville in the civil war he buried in Tennessee. My grandmother's cousin came home to find he farm looted and everything gone, that didn't stop him he gathered men and started to rebuild their community.

Mr H.K., You bring a tear to my eye! I’m a soldier ofn22 yrs. I served with MANY men of ALL colors, and we stood tall beside one another! Listening to you helps me imagine the past generations doing the same. I personally have tried to spend the basis of ur same message. I am sincerely moved by your resolve and personal mission, along with spreading love and pride through it all! You are a beacon of light for our country to follow. I pray this video spreads worldwide! Thank you for all you do sir!

I’m from the west and ignorant to much of what really happened in the South, only knowing what was taught to me in school(and reinforced in media). I really appreciate Mr. Edgerton for the education. God bless all who read this. May the light of Truth guide you.

This man has made me even more proud to hold my head up high as a proud Black southern man

He is a blessing to the preservation of factual history. He walks the roads of our town with the flag, I took a walk with him when I was young and it changed my life, I learned so much.

You are truly a inspiration and tell the whole truth. You are a good man and u tell the true history.

Thankyou H.K. man I wish there were more people like you

This gentleman speak with such wisdom, truth, and heart. We need a revival of people like him God bless you sir

With ALL that has been going ON these last couple of years.. This Man Warms my Heart and gives me Hope , that the REALITY of this current Trend/Situation here in the SOUTH and Nationwide.... Can be Settled With This Truth, Facts, and Wisdom that Mr. H.K Edgerton so Graciously Explains... thank you...

Wow, I'm a Southerner and here is some history I never heard. He is so right we all get along good together down here.Great man.😊🇺🇸

God bless this great man; from an appreciative and proud fellow Southerner. Cheers P[>

I could listen to this gentleman talk for hours, he keeps you captivated.

God bless you this is the first time I've ever heard you speak I'm 79 you are always welcome in my family before your speech. Southern people are not hateful or racist the whole world wants a tag that on us. We're not hateful against anyone. So who is the real haters here? Don't look in the mirror

This gentleman is so refreshing,i had no idea;God bless him would love to meet him!!

Mr. Edgerton, please keep up the great work. Thank you and may God bless you always. St. Augustine Fl needs your voice now also.

If your blood runs deep and far back into the swamps of history in the south there is no way you will not feel a sincere connection to this man and know that he speaks nothing but truth! God bless HK Edgerton! ❤️❤️❤️Thank you my brother!

Amazing!!! I’m glad to see people who love their heritage and the south!!

Mr. Edgerton is on my short list of heroes. His knowledge and experience are priceless. I pray I get to meet him someday.

From a southern Englishman to a southern gentleman of The South.....God Bless You Sir.

Mr. Edgerton you give us a reason to be proud to keep the truth going.. Thank you sir.

we more men like you today H.K. God bless you my brother and keep on telling it through your eye's!!

This is a Southern Gentleman. God bless you sir.

I would pay anything to listen to you and my grandpa have conversations. you remind me so much of him. Thank you for making this video. im not sure how i found this, but i am so glad i did.

Real Live HISTORY book!! This was a great video to watch!!

Awesome Man! Genuine Southerner. God Bless!!

Fascinating! Thank so much for a great history lesson. Mr Edgerton you sir are a National Treasure

This the south I grew up in... Thank you for telling the truth!

I would follow him anywhere. We need more people like HK Edgerton. A true southern hero. I'll be whistlin dixie.

I am a Ga. born confederate and only recently come across this video. I've been searching for a long time for truth that contradicts the main stream teachings. I love the CSA, as well as the USA. I have family on both sides of the spectrum. (NY & GA.) I have friends of many colors, many walks of life. One should judge a person from their actions not the color of skin, back ground, or region of country that person comes from.

You speak so much truth H.K. The southern land shows so much love to all

i am so glad to hear someone who knows history

I´ve learned more in this 14 min. video more about the american southern history and heritage than in my entire whole life...Thank´sGod that african southern-american people like Mr. Edgerton Exists...

This is a story that is important to be told... Personal views, no matter what they may be , can never change the truth.. Personal stories need to be heard and history needs to be preserved for the truth to be heard..

Freedom of speech is an American institution. Celebrate freedom of speech. If it wasn’t for freedom of speech I wouldn’t have heard this man’s perspective today. I’m better off for it. Thank you Sir.

True beauty in his words reflecting the connections I feel every time I go 'home'. Thank you HK for all you do! Let us hope the younger generations will pick up and carry the flag and message of Southern Unity and keeping our "hospitality" vibes growing through the generations ahead! Much love and respect.

A true southerner. Please keep spreading the truth...I'm so sick and tired of ppl putting us down and calling us racist....

Not only a real American...a modern day American Patriot..May God bless you richly sir

I've heard it said that the South is the real America. This was a great video! Big thumbs up!!!

The north has never understood our history. Thank you for this video.

This man needs to run for president. This man is a real American.

My grand dad's grandad was Joseph Howard Powell. He was in Company H, 5 th Alabama Cavalry. I am proud of his service for the South and I am proud of my southern heritage.

Well said, thank you for everything Educating your self about the unfiltered history of the civil war and sharing it with us! Wish national news would hear you

Native and Confederate on both sides of my family. Bless Mr. H.K.Edgerton and Robert E. Lee!. I had kin at the Battle of Nashville.

This video needs to be played on tv right now for all to see. This country is beyond divided we need the wisdom this man just spoke. I’m proud to be living in the South of this great land

In the Biblical worldview, the "slave- master" relationship was MEANT to be one of integrity, love, and dignity... the problem is that it was twisted and abused by the SIN nature of a God- rejecting mentality. That's how it became oppressive in many cases... then history was force- fed to us through a filtered system that's working to control our minds... I'm a Canadian, now living in the USA, and this is a lesson I needed to hear. Thanks so much. 💜

I love America. All of it. Including the Confederates. This is a story that must be told accurately. You are doing it...keep doing it.

Very well said Mr.Edgerton brought tears to my eyes.....however sir. I do believe ur words should be heard but not many people will take the time to listen I've tried but as a southern white girl from south Carolina it seems people think I'm racist for even suggesting to other nationalities about ur wise words it's sad I even shared each one of ur videos to Facebook hoping one of my friends would actually share ur wise words onto others but I want stop I will continue to share this video until everyone gets tired of seeing it in their news feeds and shares it onto others sir, i have great respect to u and I wish I all the luck u need to resolve this issue......from my family in south Carolina to u and ur family thank you sir and God bless

Now that's a hell of a man with a knowledge of the south that should be taught to all kids today. I love to see videos like this where a Southern man of color is so proud of his Southern heritage. Absolutely love it.

Makes my southern heart flutter to see this southern gentleman tell the truth about us and our flag

God bless you HK!! Cant wait for you to visit Georgia again!

Amen. Very refreshing to hear a black gentleman telling what I've been teaching for years. May God help us all.

Mr Edgerton I found this beyond inspiring! Thank you so much for your eloquent true description. I am the 5th generation of my family born on this red dirt here in Georgia. I will retell my Great Grandmothers stories of how it truly was us against the brutal union soldiers who befell us like locust. Burned down every structure except the few they made their headquarters. The federal government soldiers came through burning families inside their homes, raped the women as all southern men were at this point dead injured or off fighting to prevent the very fate that befell us all. Our children were taken to be raised by northern troops. They took all valuables all livestock and all crops. So at this point they have raped us burned our neighbors alive in their homes taken our most precious heirlooms passed down from generations, taken our livestock, taken all crops and canned foods even stole away our babies. Most of our southern men were killed and the few who werent came home with amputations, severe infections, starving hobbling using a stick to walk home on 1 leg. Only to find home was gone with the wind. Then came the vultures-the carpet baggers against whom mostly women with no weapons hadnt a chance. The feds took everything from us. They did not pay 1cent to rebuild the homes and businesses and hospitals they destroyed. They did not provide any humanitarian aid. Just left us here defenseless to starve to death if we didnt freeze to death or get brutalized by despicable slimy creatures who slithered in in droves. Do you still trust the federal government?

Im not a military man, not a southern man and I'm not black, but if i saw this man marching with that flag I'd march with him until he could not and then carry him on my back, I'd always carry the truth on my back and in my heart, im a proud patriot and I love the truth and HK speaks it and lives it God bless him.

This made a tear come my eye. I want to shack his hand. I live Rutherfordton NC an work in Asheville. Sure would like to meet this feller.

Much needed now one national television . Education like no other.

Thank you for standing up

I'm just finding H.K Edgerton. Thank you for this video. I'm 40 years old and learned alot today. I wish they would teach the truth to our children in schools. The history books from when I was in school to now are completely different. It's so sad.

Makes me even more proud to be a southerner. Compelling man.

Thank you for the History Lesson May God Bless YOU and YOURS

They want no reminders that we stood up to tyranny.

What an increadable person.... May you live long. And be remembered forever..

Sir the year is 2020 and your voice needs to be heard now more than ever

God bless this gentleman for speaking the truth!

THANK YOU SO MUCH H.K. I LOVE YOU SIR and HOPE TO MEET YOU ONE DAY! This made me cry

Proud to say even though not a member I am a Daughter of the Confederacy as well as Daughter of the Revolution . Family been here since 1683.

Much respect to you sir thank you strongly for your service.

This video needs to be displayed in every school in America

Thank You Sir for your inspiration wisdom. Gods Speed

Thank you, God bless you, Sir.

God Bless this man and God Bless the South!

It’s so hard to educate at home when kids are taught to disregard the right and follow the trends blindly. We’re taught not to have pride in our flag and our heritage.Yes things happened to African Americans that were bad and out of hate but we have progressed but not in a good way. Thank you sir for your inspiring words.

anyone that grew up in the south knows a lot of what he is saying is 100% accurate.

Salute Sir! Much Honor

God bless you H.K. ! Knowledge is power ! I wish u would run for President seriouly..... I believe u would truly fix this broken country!

Very good you are the people I grew up with a smart man. Why do people hate each other today is because we don’t know we have more reason to love one another

I will share this video every day until people stop shaming the south

Col. Most people don’t realize that the majority of all southerners were poor and we grew up together. As a young child I was looking at a photo album and I asked my Popa, Why are you the only white man on the softball team? That’s when I got my first lesson in segregation He told me he was a drill Sargent for 3 years and he played alongside his troops. My Popa retired as a Captain and began running a business but he hired the first three black people to ever work for this company. I felt like we were making a few strides towards a better tomorrow. We can’t erase our past to have a better future!

Thank you Mr. Edgerton

Very interesting to listen and learn. Thank you Sir for telling the truth of southern history. My mom is from GA and and dad from NY so I am a mix of north and south but always felt the draw to the south. Yes God fearing people will look out for one another because we say we are family. Family doesn't need to be defined as color or blood but respect for your neighbor. Much ❤️ and respect 🙏. ❤️🙏 Jessica

Wow... I truly hope to meet you one day sir and have the honor to shake your hand.. God bless you

If there were more like this gentleman, our country would be so much better off today

The wisdom spoken here is humbling

This is one of the most intelligent people I ever heard!

Why couldn't a real American like this gentleman have our President instead of Obama?

Nahh I have to comment again God bless you I love you and you have my attention and my respect!!! Always HK Edgerton

Thank you so much for making this video!
