The Official Anthem of the Confederate. It was composed by Ernest Halphin. Due to the popularity of the Dixie, however, this music was rarely heard, and most of the confederate soldiers preferred the Dixie. Dixie, however, was also popular in the north, especially with Abraham Lincoln. From my guess, the piece was created as the National Anthem so that the Confederate could distinguish themselves away from the Union with a piece that the North can never replicate, "God Save the South". This song can't be replicated as the lyrics focused on viewing the South as the victim of the war, and request asistance from god to prevail in the war.
