@@sciencetest8 there were 37 states or territories 11 of which succeeded. No other countries recognized the Confederacy. Even Texas which had rebeled against Mexico to join the US over slavery then found it's self a member of the confederacy. Yes actually wildfire still burns the pine cones of East Texas. We call it "the pine curtain" and whisper of small towns like Jasper.

Hands down my favorite song by them. I started covering it this year, and I plan to open a town festival with it this weekend. It's an 1850s festival in rural Missouri, and it will be a perfect song for the event. I also play at the fine dining restaurant every Wednesday and Thursday in the same town, and I cover this song every night. the staff have grown to love it, though I doubt they know what I'm singing about. Mandolin Orange/Watchhouse is arguably the most underrated band I've ever heard.
