Tried to link to "Marching Through Georgia" by Old Crow Medicine Show but I guess it linked the whole album.

And peace was assured. Or in the words of  D. W. Griffith, "The former enemies of North and South are united again in defense of their Aryan birthright".

Somebody with a firm grasp on the facts of reconstruction to be sure :P

The fact was the Northern Whites (those who did not already sympathize with the Southerners) just got tired and further saw they were unlikely to win Reconstruction, so they stopped supporting it.  The Republican Party thus moved on.

I like how the Union adopted this song to add insult to injury.  Take that Johnny Reb.  :)
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock
