The uniforms are fake, but the southerners look authentic.

I didn't catch half what the guys said...
Must be southerner accent
Somebody posted around the forums a similar video about the English on the AWI. It was very funny, but can't find it now...

Hilarious

[chainsaw]

Pretty funny video, but read some the comments from the "retards" (sorry, that was not PC, try "mentally challenged retards")

Examples:
"i am southern and want my reparations from the evil yankees who invaded our sovereign nation. we are no different than georgia and russia."

"Does no one read history books? the civil war was about taxation. slavery was actually just the propaganda the north used to get people into the war the North had just as many slaves the day that the Republicans freed them."
[ed - umm, that would be zero??]

"I do care Thats why I fight. That is why these types of Videos are opressive? Why do we never see a Video of the WAR CRIMES Commited by the Northern Army against the slaves they supposedly fought to free?"

"There's no justice in this world. The religious liberal-cult madmen always win - US civil war, WW2, the 60's: the rest of us are going to have to stop being so damn reasonable with these fanatical, psychotic mass-murdering lunatics. And stop fighting each other to satisfy jewish banksters."

Wow...and that's the debate coming from a video clearly marked as comedy! leure: Is this how the world sees us here in the good old USA?

This is going to sound harsh, but yes, we do. Americans are known to be somewhat topographically challenged and of course it's easy (and funny) to interview them and show it on the news over here.

For a laugh, see if you can find the Australian presenter who goes around asking people: So, what country do you think the US should invade next?

I didn't watch the video it was too much BS. Alright, I admit the last comment on YouTube was insane, but the rest were fine. They all tell the truth and support the Southern Confederacy. As a Virginian you should support the South chainsaw.

[Doomwalker]

That video was very funny. I didn't read the comments though. I will have to go check those out, also.

Don't feel bad. Those of us U.S. midwesterners who have English as our native tongue sometimes have a hard time comprehending what a southerner is saying. As a youngster, my parents once took us on a trip from Kansas to visit our cousins in Tennessee. Their regional accent was so thick that I had a hard time figuring out what they were saying. (They probably thought it was MY accent that was funny.)

[Dixicrat]

Yep, you un's up yonder tawlk right funny. But we 'uns down heer in Tainessee don' pay it no mind.

Translation: We of Tennessee tend to find Northern accents peculiar, but not in any way that's unsettling.

This applies in Alabama also. Even though every time I meet someone outside of Alabama they ask me if I am from Missouri.

Evun tho I iz from Sout Karoline I speek wif a drawl. cant hep it but I do say dat all my famuly iz from Alabama, nort west, Franklun County. We iz not hill folk, we just verbully challunged.

No but seriously the aspect of the civil war and the slavery issue gors back to the Mo. Compromise. Let the states decide what they wanted to do. I My opinion it was about a group of states wanting to form a more perfect union they decided to form a country themselves under an illusion that cotton was king and the world could not do without it. But the average southern man of the time did not really care about slavery, it was protecting their land from an invasion from the north. Whether that is right or wrong who am I to say. I did not live back then and see things first hand. We rely on winner's history lessons and the losing factions recollection.

It was one of my countries true giants, Churchill, that said 'History is written by the victors' and its always been true. He also said that 'History will be kind to me because I will write it'....again very true of victorious countries and leaders.

[Barker]

i agree totally

[Dixicrat]

Ah reckun 'at hits purt near th' same awl-over th' southlan', frend. We'uns ain't stoopid; jus' verbully challunged!

Translation: The presence of a thick accent isn't necessarily indicative of low intelligence. You'll find them throughout the South.

I just thought it was weak comedy. I am fairly sure that couldn't have made a bad SNL night. Nothing clever, nothing witty. Poor delivery. I understood what they were attempting to portray, but felt it was lame.

The only decent part I thought was the beginning when he mentioned the various states the men were from, then it panned out and there was a group of five guys. OK, that was pretty funny.

This stuff is on-topic, huh? Well, alright then....

History is just as often written by the losers and disaffected victors.
