Tennessee Ernie Ford - Dixie (Lyrics Video)

Details

Description

Today is February 8th. 160 years ago, this day, the Confederate States of America was formed. Its provisional Constitution was created and put in place, the birth of a partially-recognized, independent Dixie. Something to celebrate? Probably not. Those guys started the deadliest war in American History for practically no reason. Lincoln was a Free-Soiler, damn it! He didn't want to take away your slaves! Oh yeah, fighting to preserve slavery is not a good thing either. Anyway, this is good music.

Obviously, the music was made by Ernest Ford. I have no claim to it.
