Confederate Song - To Arms In Dixie (with lyrics)

Показать описание

Southern men the thunders mutter!
Northern flags in South winds flutter!
To arms! To arms! To arms, in Dixie!
Send them back your fierce defiance!
Stamp upon the cursed alliance!
To arms! To arms! To arms, in Dixie!

Advance the flag of Dixie! Hurrah! Hurrah!
In Dixie's land we take our stand, and live or die for Dixie!
To arms! To arms! And conquer peace for Dixie!
To arms! To arms! And conquer peace for Dixie

Fear no danger! Shun no labor!
Lift up rifle, pike, and saber!
To arms! To arms! To arms, in Dixie!
Shoulder pressing close to shoulder,
Let the odds make each heart bolder!
To arms! To arms! To arms, in Dixie!

Advance the flag of Dixie! Hurrah! Hurrah!
In Dixie's land we take our stand, and live or die for Dixie!
To arms! To arms! And conquer peace for Dixie!
To arms! To arms! And conquer peace for Dixie!

Swear upon your country's altar
Never to submit or falter--
To arms! To arms! To arms, in Dixie!
Till the spoilers are defeated,
Till the Lord's work is completed!
To arms! To arms! To arms, in Dixie!

Say what you like about the politics, but the Confederates had much catchier tunes!

Their beards were pretty good, too.

While the words to the song are attributed to Albert Pike. The artist in this recording is Tennessee Ernie Ford.

For those who say the South committed treason. Here is treason, as according to article 3, section 3 of the Constitution: "Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court." Notice the plural language. Whose enemy? The states. As the federal government invaded the Southern states and was "levying war against them" it was committing treason, not the South. Notice that secession is not listed as a tresonable offense. Article 1, section 10 of the Constitution states, "No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay." States are only able to engage in war if they are invaded or in such danger that they cannot delay action. The Southern states engaged in a war of self-defense, legally within the limits of the Constitution. The North attempt to coerce the South back into the Union through military force and against their will, something Hamilton called in the Federalist Papers "an abomination." The Declaration states, "to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness." How is 1776 any different than what the South did in 1860?
