Earnest Halphin, God Save the South (1861)
“ Still keep the land we love safe from Thy wrath. Still keep the land we love safe from Thy wrath. 8. God save the South, God save the South, Her altars and firesides, God save the South! For the great war is nigh, and we will win or die, Chanting our battle cry, “Freedom or death!” ”
