MCLEOD'S REEL
First referred to as “Miss MacLeod’s Reel” by a foreigner visiting Connacht, Ireland, in 1779, who wrote about taking part in a dance where the prize was a cake, or possibly heard as one of several pieces played by pipers in Galway. Either way, the tune stuck and became better known as simply “McLeod’s Reel.” It was especially popular with the Scottish and Irish colonial settlers of the North Carolina-Appalachian Mountain regions. By the mid-19th century, the growth in popularity of the tune had made it a staple anywhere reels were danced. Often called the original Virginia Reel, it is commonly performed at Colonial and Civil War reenactment venues as well as in modern dance ensembles.

KINGDOM COMING

"Kingdom Coming" (a.k.a. "Year of Jubilo"), words and music by Henry Clay Work (1832-1884), published by Chicago's George Root & Cady in 1862, became one of the most popular and memorable songs to emerge during the American Civil War. Though the song is decidedly pro-Union, it was often heard being played in both camps. Derisively sung from the perspective of his slaves, the lyrics tell of thei...
BUFFALO GALS

Now literally 'world-famous', the song known as "Buffalo Gals" is generally credited to one John Hodges (1821-1891), whose minstrel-stage character was called "Cool White." However, that name is only its last name, established after its 1848 publishing by the minstrel group, the Ethiopian Serenaders. It had also seen published versions under the title "Lubly Fan", by Hodges/'Cool White' in 1844...
OH, I'M A GOOD OLD REBEL

The melody of this song was borrowed from a pre-war minstrel tune, "Joe Bowers". The words are of a somewhat obscure origin; published in 1867, credit for the lyrics was given to one Major Innes Randolph, a Virginia Confederate and "cultivated Southerner of letters", who served under J.E.B. Stuart. A cultivated Southerner he may have been, but a more bitter, venomous statement of the emotions f...

Later, in 1858, it was published by Firth, Pond & Co., of New York city, this time with revised lyrics, a piano ...

CAMPTOWN RACES (1850) ~ Words and music by Stephen Foster

This nonsense song ranks with "Oh! Susanna" as one of Foster's best. Not especially popular in its early days, "Camptown Races" earned Foster royalties of only $101.25 in its first seven years (representing a total sales of 5,000 copies at two cents apiece). Debuted by the ubiquitous Christy Minstrels in 1850, it didn’t take long before it became a staple of other minstrel groups throughout the...

KEEMO KIMO

The melody of this comic tune comes from an early 18th century fife-and-drum tune often referred to as "Frog In the Well." By the mid-19th century, it had acquired a set of popular nonsense lyrics of a distinctly Southern flavor. Like many contemporary so-called 'plantation songs,' "Keemo Kimo" has the lyrical construction of a 'cadence-counting' piece, ideal for accompanying labor common to th...

Not sure why I'm here again. This song came into my head. Great song !
I'm likin' the 'here again' part ! Glad you are. And it IS a great song !! Thanks for comin' back !
I was reading the new novel by Percival Everett called ,James, It is Jim’s pov from Huckleberry Finn snd percival mentioned this song with some other confederate tunes and he aligns the song in a smart way with other lower character songs and it is interestu should check it out.
In brief, what's his point ?
Очень хорошая песня. Что бы просто отдохнуть.

I am from Africa and I love this song!
Stay there, please.

We know, are honored, and are grateful !
You guys are so damn good!
Fun fact: This was one of Lincoln's favorite songs
Go figure !

God bless the south' from a english man
My feeling to a tee. God Bless the souls of the Confederacy.
The South is the last hope and the last bearers of American nationalism
despite the fact that the seceded from the united states
@@hardcorenicotineaddict5517 they seceded to save the Constitution as understood by the Framers, a union between sovereign states.
@@eflint1 i think what you meant to say was "they betrayed the constitution"
@stop_lego_motion I agree. Just as Hungary is the last hope and bearer of nationalism in Europe. Listening to this in Hungary. Greetings 🇭🇺
this country was founded on satanic masonry
It's no good now wishing you'd won. You should have 'watched the wind' at the time.
Me and the bois when we win a game in war of rights 🤙
There you go !
Abraham Lincoln was a fan of this tune.
what a fascinating song, a lament for the confederacy. makes me wonder if randolph meant all this, or if he was just angry and lashing out
A part of this song appears in the movie "Escape from Fort Bravo", and it is sung by William Demarest.
Leave the union is the Best thing you can do God bless the south
Been there. Done that. Didn't work out. Amen to the last part, though...
Although if that was tried nowadays, since the South would also not have slavery; the UN would not allow the US to go full force against the South. From a realistic perspective it would succeed, and knowing the South; this would make Dollar General such a big company they singlehandedly take down China (and maybe Russia)
What's amusing is so many folks post cries of, "The South will rise again !", while overlooking that it already has... Excellent post, btw👍@@bubbatools6701

Seriously ! Am I right ?!

Cool to find this video as a buffalonian
Nice job. Thanks for what you are doing to keep southern heritage alive!
Damn fine job boys. From the 1st NC infantry.
"Dixie" is a song with music and lyrics by the Northerner Daniel Decatur Emmett (included in the Artists, Movements and Ideas section of the Song of America database.) His song was first performed in a minstrel show in New York City in 1859, but it soon swept the South, and when Confederate President Jefferson Davis took the oath of office in 1861, the band played “Dixie.” Southern troops marched into battle singing the song, and it lifted the spirits of the pro-slavery South for all the years of the war. The composer, who supported the Union, is reported to have said, “If I had known to what use they were going to put my song, I’ll be damned if I’d have written it.” --Sheila Gaffney
Hmmm. All true. Y'know, they say hindsight is always 20/20. I wonder - if he had known how blatantly racist black-face minstrelsy would become, would he have given up his very successful career (as a minstrel performer for which he wrote the song...) ? Just sayin'.
Yall lost
You'll do nothing.
look at the body count yall won but at what cost
Insecting again?
Nobody cares about your useless virtue signaling, much less your meaningless, media addicted life.
Yeah, but this song is still good

No, Dixie isn’t even a southern song. The man who made this song was a northern unionist during the American civil war
ancestors fought for the south god bless the south. Cheers🍷
The fondness for a geographic homeland is not grounds to dissolve the governmental structure of our sacred Constitution. Further, the Slaveocracy who started this war are not the friends of freedom or Natural Rights. If you look at this song objectively, it's all about an emotional nostalgia. It's not about principle like Battle Hymn of the Republic.
The South WILL rise again.
This song is all about being based.
What's that instrument, that them old fella is playing ?
It’s an Irish hand drum called a Bodhran. He’s not playing it correctly though. If you would like to hear it played, look up Irish Trad Session Doolin.
@@nmaddog4689 We have similar hand drums. Mostly used by the Sapmi ppls, in Lapland.
How much Irish do you want it😁
Would anyone know the style of the gentlemans hat on the far left on fiddle, Excellent rendition Gentlemen. 🪕🎻📀👍👍
I believe it's a 5 gallon hat.used by Texans to feed there horses.
God bless Dixie from Russia ❤
Is that a British accent I hear?
Irish. I think 🤔
@@somefool4625 The Whites of the South were and are an even split between Irish and English colonists.
I am English, it sounds like English pronunciation.
I love these songs beautifully sung.only I've got a question to ask if they don't like us Brits.why did they want our help.saying that I always wanted the south to win even though I'm so anti slavery.
