Tennessee Ernie Ford - Union Dixie (Lyrics Video)

Details

Description

"Burn your draft card if you like, it's good to disagree!"
-New York, July 13-16, 1863

This video couldn't be completed by February 8th, and apparently not March 4th (Lincoln's inauguration) or April 12th (the Battle of Fort Sumter) either. But what's so special about a 160-year anniversary, you ask? Well, Lincoln was the 16th President of the U.S., I guess. And it ends in 0, so you know it's important.

The maps were made by me, except for this: https://visibleearth.nasa.gov/images/57752/blue-marble-land-surface-shallow-water-and-shaded-topography

The music was obviously made by Ernest Ford, I have no claim to it.
