The south definitely has it with music. Their is no song equivalent in the north to “Dixie”. Which was so good the Union made a parody of it. Watch “[Dixie - Union Version](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvjOG5gboFU)”. Nobody sings a song in the north glorifying what they did like in the song “[I’m a Good Ole Rebel](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5EHpok66SU)”. Where is a song such as “I’m a good Ole Unionist”? Some others: I dare you to watch the video to this song “[The Irish Brigade](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ot7amDyqbY)” and not get just a little confederate sympathies. Or the song “[Johnny Reb](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZxMDZ3TdZM&list=PLRTYQ42fb3tCC6M7sn2BJAacp3XpeWwT7&index=5)” by Johnny Horton. Watch the video of “[The Bonnie Blue Flag](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVeSKwM--1M)” and try not to soing “Hurrah, hurrah, for the southern rights hurrah”. Try “[The Ghost of Robert E Lee](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-MX0PXDWis)” by Waylon Jennings. Then there are just some “nice” songs like “[Christmas in Dixie](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cenz3cP3rjE)”" by Alabama. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/is-the-confederacy-south-more-interesting-than-the-union-north/841643)._
