You Did Die in Vain, Though We Speak Highly of Your Name.

I too love underdogs and lost causes.  I love this music and tear up listing to it and thinking of the gallantry of the brave ones.  They won victories against all odds before the ultimate forgone end.


The Clan system in Scotland may have been worth saving, but following a young, inexperienced, ambitious, Prince from Italy was not the way to do it.  It’s doubtful such a system could have survived long anyway.   
Trying to preserve slavery under the banner of “states rights” was folly.  Many fought and died with no financial interest in this evil and doomed system thinking they were defending their homeland.
Thanks for your bravery and the music that resulted.  I hope no further harm comes from your deaths by those who use “heritage” as a mask for hatred.
