    My GGrandfather, Albert Gallatin Freeman, was conscripted at his home in the backwoods mountains of NC by a gang hired by a "Colonel" forming a regiment he could lead. They made him a offer he couldn't refuse; join up and they would leave his wife and young children untouched in a house still standing. He joined. At the end of the war, he was released in PA with nothing more than the men portrayed in this movie. He somehow made his way back to his home in NC and never spoke of it again. I have his POW release document from the Union camp in PA. Years later, the DotC's found his grave in the churchyard and replaced his marker with one showing his rank as a Confederate and regiment. Never asked. Just did it. I don't know that he would have wanted that.

      I was raised in NC along SC border in the 60s-70s I remember Confederate flags being flown in public in many places. Id wear my grey kepi everywhere. Southern pride abounded all thru the south. Especially in the Mtn areas. My kin were Scottish Appalachian from NC mtns. The pride we had back then in our forefathers was something to behold. I MYSELF am still as prideful in my southern heritage. NO ONE CAN EVER SHAME US OVER OUR KIN.MY SOUTHERN CROSS STILL MEANS HONOR DUTY COMMITMENT LOVE OF COUNTRY AND FAMILY. IF anyone wants to talk garbage and say that I support slavery then remind them that they must have supported Genocide. If they ask how's that just remind them that the US gov almost wiped out the ENTIRE Indian pop in N. America that's called GENOCIDE

    John Wayne has been my top hero for so long I COULD NOT say when I first heard of him. I was addict for him and the Wild West before I was even in Kindergarten. That is good, because he is a much better individual to have as a hero than MANY people today. Anyway, Rio Lobo is my second of his films, only The Comancheros ranks higher for me. How about you? Anyway, thank you for this wonderful clip, it is an awesome part of the movie. I have a question to ask, what version of Dixie is this and who is the artist please? It is a great one I believe I HAVE NOT ever heard until I watched your channel, and I would be thrilled to add it to my collection. I may be a Northerner, but I still highly respect the South and enjoy this song as it from the Wild West Period. Like you, I greatly love the United States Of America, and sincerely hope that it can pull together and turn itself around in the VERY near future before it is too late.

      Well secession wasn’t officially illegal until after the war and no confederate was convicted of treason, but yes mercy is quite admirable. Same thing happened with the northerners in Shay’s rebellion and Whiskey Rebellion, except those guys actually did commit treason by today’s standards because they didn’t leave with a state. But again, mercy is a powerful thing.

    “We Are Fighting for Independence, Not Slavery”. - Jefferson Davis President of the Confederacy to Edward Kirk 1864 “I worked night and day for 12 years to prevent the war, but I could not. The north was mad, blind,would not let us govern ourselves, and so the war came.” - Confederate President Jefferson Davis 1861 “Is it worth while to continue this union of states, where the north demands to be our masters and we are required to be their tributaries.” - Thomas Cooper of South Carolina 1860 “In this enlightened age, there are few I believe, but what will acknowledge, that slavery as an institution, is a moral & political evil in any Country.” - Robert E Lee 1856 “While we see the Course of the final abolition of human slavery is onward, & we give it the aid of our prayers & all justifiable means in our power we must leave the progress as well as the result in his hands who Sees the end” - Robert E Lee 1856 “I am rejoiced that slavery is abolished. I believe it will be greatly for the interests of the South. So fully am I satisfied of this, as regards Virginia especially, that I would cheerfully have lost all I have lost by the war, and have suffered all I have suffered, to have this object attained.” - Robert E Lee 1865 “All I think that can now be done, is to aid our noble & generous women in their efforts to protect the graves & mark the last resting places of those who have fallen, & wait for better times.” - Robert E. Lee “I have always been in favor of Emancipation.” - Robert E Lee "I consider it a privilege to die for my country." - Paul Jones Semmes On the third day of the battle before being shot and wounded, Confederate General Lewis Armistead led his brigade during Pickett's Charge, fixing his hat on the point of sword and reputedly urging his men to “remember what you are fighting for - your homes, your friends, your sweethearts!” In an 1863 letter to his home state congressman, Elihu Washburne, Grant summed up his pre-war attitude: “I never was an Abolitionist,” he said, “not even what could be called anti-slavery.” “Slavery exists. It is black in the South, and white in the North.” - Union Vice President Johnson. “We're not fighting for the perpetuation of slavery, but for the principles of states rights and free trade, and in defense of our homes which we were ruthlessly invaded.” -VMI Jewish Cadet Moses Jacob Ezekiel 1864 “Abolish the Loyal League and the Ku Klux Klan; let us stand together. We may differ in color, but not in sentiment. Many things have been said about me which are wrong, and which white and black persons here, who stood by me through the war, can contradict.” - Nathan Bedford Forrest “African Americans should have the right to vote.” - Confederate Colonel John Salmon Ford The confederate soldier “Fought because he was provoked, intimidated, and ultimately invaded” -James Webb Born Fighting a History of the Scoth-Irish in America “I was fighting for my home, and he had no business being there” -Virginia confederate Soldier Frank Potts “Let me tell you what is coming. After the sacrifice of countless millions of treasure and hundreds of thousands of lives, you may win Southern independence if God be not against you, but I doubt it. I tell you that, while I believe with you in the doctrine of states rights, the North is determined to preserve this Union. They are not a fiery, impulsive people as you are, for they live in colder climates. But when they begin to move in a given direction, they move with the steady momentum and perseverance of a mighty avalanche; and what I fear is, they will overwhelm the South.” - Texas Revolutionary/President/Governor Sam Houston List of causes of the Civil War- Harpers Ferry On the night of October 16, 1859, Brown and a band of followers seized the federal arsenal at Harper’s Ferry, Virginia (now West Virginia), in what is believed to have been an attempt to arm a slave insurrection. (Brown denied this at his trial, but evidence indicated otherwise.) They were dislodged by a force of U.S. Marines led by Army lieutenant colonel Robert E. Lee. Brown was swiftly tried for treason against Virginia and hanged. Southern reaction initially was that his acts were those of a mad fanatic, of little consequence. But when Northern abolitionists made a martyr of him, Southerners came to believe this was proof the North intended to wage a war of extermination against white Southerners. Brown’s raid thus became a step on the road to war between the sections. States' Rights The idea of states' rights was not new to the Civil War. Since the Constitution was first written there had been arguments about how much power the states should have versus how much power the federal government should have. The southern states felt that the federal government was taking away their rights and powers. Political power That was not enough to calm the fears of delegates to an 1860 secession convention in South Carolina. To the surprise of other Southern states-and even to many South Carolinians-the convention voted to dissolve the state’s contract with the United States and strike off on its own. South Carolina had threatened this before in the 1830s during the presidency of Andrew Jackson, over a tariff that benefited Northern manufacturers but increased the cost of goods in the South. Jackson had vowed to send an army to force the state to stay in the Union, and Congress authorized him to raise such an army (all Southern senators walked out in protest before the vote was taken), but a compromise prevented the confrontation from occurring. Perhaps learning from that experience the danger of going it alone, in 1860 and early 1861 South Carolina sent emissaries to other slave holding states urging their legislatures to follow its lead, nullify their contract with the United States and form a new Southern Confederacy. Six more states heeded the siren call: Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas. Others voted down secession-temporarily. When President Lincoln called for Volunteers to invade the south, six southern states voted to join the Confederacy. The issue of slavery The burning issue that led to the disruption of the union was the debate over the future of slavery. Secession brought about a war in which the Northern and Western states and territories fought to preserve the Union, and the South fought to establish Southern independence as a new confederation of states under its own constitution. Most of the states of the North, meanwhile, one by one had gradually abolished slavery. A steady flow of immigrants, especially from Ireland and Germany during the potato famine of the 1840s and 1850s, insured the North a ready pool of laborers, many of whom could be hired at low wages, diminishing the need to cling to the institution of slavery. Child labor was also a growing trend in the North. The agrarian South utilized slaves to tend its large plantations and perform other duties. On the eve of the Civil War, some 4 million Africans and their descendants toiled as slave laborers in the South. Slavery was part of the Southern economy although only a relatively small portion of the population actually owned slaves.

    Doesn't matter which side of the war you side with, the Rebels fought valiantly while being huge under dogs the whole campaign. They were outnumbered, under supplied, underequipped. They almost won the war or at the very least enough to call a truce & be allowed to secede.

      Both sides fought for their country, because it was their duty to their homeland. Even though both sides had slavery. Union even made a new slave state called West Virginia in 1863, had 8 slave states in 1864, and New Jersey was the last state to ban slavery. 70% of confederate population weren’t slave owners. The war started because a northerner named John Brown killed 9 southerners at Harpers Ferry in 1859 and Lincoln sending a fleet and 200 soldiers to Charleston in 1861 causing Fort Sumter. “We Are Fighting for Independence, Not Slavery”. - Jefferson Davis President of the Confederacy to Edward Kirk 1864 “I worked night and day for 12 years to prevent the war, but I could not.

Lee “I have always been in favor of Emancipation.” - Robert E Lee "I consider it a privilege to die for my country." - Paul Jones Semmes On the third day of the battle before being shot and wounded, Confederate General Lewis Armistead led his brigade during Pickett's Charge, fixing his hat on the point of sword and reputedly urging his men to “remember what you are fighting for - your homes, your friends, your sweethearts!” In an 1863 letter to his home state congressman, Elihu Washburne, Grant summed up his pre-war attitude: “I never was an Abolitionist,” he said, “not even what could be called anti-slavery.” “Slavery exists. It is black in the South, and white in the North.” - Union Vice President Johnson. “We're not fighting for the perpetuation of slavery, but for the principles of states rights and free trade, and in defense of our homes which we were ruthlessly invaded.” -VMI Jewish Cadet Moses Jacob Ezekiel 1864 “Abolish the Loyal League and the Ku Klux Klan; let us stand together. We may differ in color, but not in sentiment. Many things have been said about me which are wrong, and which white and black persons here, who stood by me through the war, can contradict.” - Nathan Bedford Forrest “African Americans should have the right to vote.” - Confederate Colonel John Salmon Ford The confederate soldier “Fought because he was provoked, intimidated, and ultimately invaded” -James Webb Born Fighting a History of the Scoth-Irish in America “I was fighting for my home, and he had no business being there” -Virginia confederate Soldier Frank Potts “Let me tell you what is coming. After the sacrifice of countless millions of treasure and hundreds of thousands of lives, you may win Southern independence if God be not against you, but I doubt it. I tell you that, while I believe with you in the doctrine of states rights, the North is determined to preserve this Union. They are not a fiery, impulsive people as you are, for they live in colder climates. But when they begin to move in a given direction, they move with the steady momentum and perseverance of a mighty avalanche; and what I fear is, they will overwhelm the South.” - Texas Revolutionary/President/Governor Sam Houston List of causes of the Civil War- Harpers Ferry On the night of October 16, 1859, Brown and a band of followers seized the federal arsenal at Harper’s Ferry, Virginia (now West Virginia), in what is believed to have been an attempt to arm a slave insurrection. (Brown denied this at his trial, but evidence indicated otherwise.) They were dislodged by a force of U.S. Marines led by Army lieutenant colonel Robert E. Lee. Brown was swiftly tried for treason against Virginia and hanged. Southern reaction initially was that his acts were those of a mad fanatic, of little consequence. But when Northern abolitionists made a martyr of him, Southerners came to believe this was proof the North intended to wage a war of extermination against white Southerners. Brown’s raid thus became a step on the road to war between the sections. States' Rights The idea of states' rights was not new to the Civil War. Since the Constitution was first written there had been arguments about how much power the states should have versus how much power the federal government should have. The southern states felt that the federal government was taking away their rights and powers. Political power That was not enough to calm the fears of delegates to an 1860 secession convention in South Carolina. To the surprise of other Southern states-and even to many South Carolinians-the convention voted to dissolve the state’s contract with the United States and strike off on its own. South Carolina had threatened this before in the 1830s during the presidency of Andrew Jackson, over a tariff that benefited Northern manufacturers but increased the cost of goods in the South. Jackson had vowed to send an army to force the state to stay in the Union, and Congress authorized him to raise such an army (all Southern senators walked out in protest before the vote was taken), but a compromise prevented the confrontation from occurring. Perhaps learning from that experience the danger of going it alone, in 1860 and early 1861 South Carolina sent emissaries to other slave holding states urging their legislatures to follow its lead, nullify their contract with the United States and form a new Southern Confederacy. Six more states heeded the siren call: Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas. Others voted down secession-temporarily. When President Lincoln called for Volunteers to invade the south, six southern states voted to join the Confederacy. The issue of slavery The burning issue that led to the disruption of the union was the debate over the future of slavery. Secession brought about a war in which the Northern and Western states and territories fought to preserve the Union, and the South fought to establish Southern independence as a new confederation of states under its own constitution. Most of the states of the North, meanwhile, one by one had gradually abolished slavery. A steady flow of immigrants, especially from Ireland and Germany during the potato famine of the 1840s and 1850s, insured the North a ready pool of laborers, many of whom could be hired at low wages, diminishing the need to cling to the institution of slavery. Child labor was also a growing trend in the North. The agrarian South utilized slaves to tend its large plantations and perform other duties. On the eve of the Civil War, some 4 million Africans and their descendants toiled as slave laborers in the South. Slavery was part of the Southern economy although only a relatively small portion of the population actually owned slaves.

      I love the fact that neither side was really evil or purely good. It was like a family squabble where both sides had very valid points and flaws in their points. It was nowhere close to being black and white, there was a lot of gray going on. They each had their ideals that they believed in, and and both sides considered themselves Americans.
