Tennessee Ernie Ford’s rousing rendition of Marching Through Georgia

It never ceases to amaze me that the music of the Civil War, both now and at the time it was happening, is nearly always concerned with chivalry, gallantry, ‘honor’, and other such bullshit; while destruction, chaos, hostility, and murder on a vast scale are pretty much ignored. When it’s addressed at all, it’s draped in coy euphemisms.
